Been There...

I had this idea one day (way back in December), and thought "Hey, that might make a good picture." I'm not sure if I succeeded, but I'm thoroughly proud with how it turned out.
The idea had to do with an archeologist uncovering a most peculiar find in an ancient cave, left there as an homage to gods that had been so gracious as to visit the civilization personally: a mural, half painting, half carving, depicting the gods and their most magnificent chariot. Can you guess who they are? Granted, this particular history doesn't fit with the actual Back to the Future universe, but, say, if they made an animated TV show, this is likely somewhere the writers would take the characters.
Maybe you'll get it, maybe you won't, but I greatly enjoyed doing this one, and hey, I got to pay homage to two of my favorite icons from the 80's: Back to the Future and Indiana Jones (the archeologist morphed into him (as I thought he would while drawing it)).
Enjoy.

Strawberry's Swing

This will probably be my last iteration of this concept (for a while anyway), so I thought I'd do it up right. This one is, again, inspired by Coldplay's "Strawberry Swing", as you may have guessed just looking at it. A bit of a strange concept, but I enjoyed doing it. Maybe you'll enjoy looking at it. Who knows?

The Chrome Colossus and The Fiery Fox

Now you too can bear witness to the epic (and those of you who know me know that I use the word "epic" sparingly) struggle between "The Chrome Colossus" and "The Fiery Fox".
If you didn't get the wordplay, here's what's up: I wanted to do a picture to embody the ever petty argument between whether Firefox of Google Chrome is better. It's been like this ever since Chrome came out, and I'd like to settle the score (at least from my viewpoint). I, as do many of my friends, prefer Google Chrome. I've had some bad experiences with Firefox not doing what I wanted it to, and Chrome hasn't (months after it's implementation) let me down once. Another thing I like about it is the openness of the taskbar. There's much more room to surf: I don't like a lot of options hovering at the top of the screen. I'm a simple guy, so maybe that's why I like Chrome: it's easy to understand and isn't cluttered up. Is that a good enough explanation?
Whichever side of the fence you sit on, I hope you enjoy the picture. Pick whichever side you want to win in the pic: I don't care in the slightest.

Lady of Troubled Waters

This one had no unique genesis: I wasn't planning on this one for awhile...I just started doodling, and this is what came out of it. I suppose she's a sort of 'Guardian' of the bipolar sea, and the skulls, then, represent souls lost to the unforgiving waters. Feel free to make up your own story to go along with it...I don't mind.
Enjoy.
