Artist's Comments

This is the compilation of what I've been doing in Character Design class this year. The objective was to illustrate a set of characters based on the theme (this year it was Greek myths) using influences from the style of a particular professional artist.

The artist I chose was Jackson Publick (creator of The Venture Brothers). I'm not sure how effectively I captured his style, but I had fun with these nonetheless. This was really the first time I've ever done a substantial amount of cartoon human art so it was quite a challenge for me.

From left to right: Cerberus, Telemachus, Odysseus, Athena, Tiresias, and the Chimera.

Writing and art are like prostitution. First you do it for love, and then for a few close friends, and finally for money.

Cute!!! These look very professional! I love how the Chimera goat is like, "I'm combined with a lion?! This is BS!" and Odysseus is like, "Hells yes I look like Gerard Butler." I also love the transition of color in the Cerberus's tail.

Beautiful!! :D

Yup, based the colors off of theirs. Didn't want to rip it off completely but obviously was trying to draw influences from the VB art so I did a twist on the original.

I just realized that there's a bit of Venture's skull in Tiresias, isn't there? Again, as I've said, too cool. I love how you revamped Cerberus to be even more awesome.

"...I know it sounds weird, I let him do it because it feels great. Oh yeah. The problem is that I can taste it. So, I taste my own genitals. In my mouth. It's a... conundrum."

It would not be complete if I didn't toss Dr. Venture's bald head in there somewhere.

And yeah, I love the shows human designs but aren't as keen on the animals so I tweaked that a bit. Gave him more of the fun angles that the VB human characters have.

That Cerberus design is very nice, I love the dark colors and the pupiless eyes.

Being an artist is being translator to languages unheard.

Odysseus looks rather Sawyerlike to me. :P Love the designs, you did a good job with the style.
