#305 – Face time

Face time
After the helmet question from yesterday’s sketch, I figured some actual faces were in order.  So I just drew a few different versions, inspired by various photos.

#304 – Robot Rock

Daft PunkWhen sketch time came around today, I was listening to Daft Punk’s Tron Legacy soundtrack.  The choice was clear.

P.S.  I’ve just realized that quite a few of these 365 sketches feature helmets of various kinds (full list here).  Could it be because helmets are awesome?

#303 – Fatter than your average bear

Kung Fu PandaWent with a bunch of other video and visual FX people on a tour of Dreamworks Animation today.  They do a lot of very cool work there, especially in character design.  I drew this based on a life-sized statue that was in one of their lobbies.

#302 – Duck hunting equipment

Auburn helmetAfter watching the BCS title game tonight, I drew this as a tribute to Auburn’s win over Oregon.  I’d considered drawing something based on the mascots — something more needlessly visceral, like a tiger actually devouring a duck — but this was just a lot quicker and easier.

#301 – One giant leap

One giant leapI don’t know why it’s taken so long, but I finally got around to watching In the Shadow of the Moon today.  A great piece of documentary filmmaking.

I guess in a way this is a companion piece to yesterday’s sketch:  science fiction vs. science fact.

P.S. Yes, I believe they actually did it.

#300 – Injection-molded cannon fodder

StormtrooperDid this one as a counterpart to last week’s “Back in Black” sketch.  Just a little tribute to everyone’s favorite bumbling footsoldiers.

#298 – The contest continues…

Tug-of-war

The corporate sellers of this house have countered again.  I’m running out of visual metaphors here.

P.S. Yes, that’s a hint of pregnancy belly showing on my wife.

#296 – Balancing act

See-saw

We’ve submitted an offer on a house, and now comes the counter offer.  We’ll see how this works out.
