Deadlines have hampered the experiment below. Tonight I instead forced myself to do something and ended up just doodling. Posting results here.Hope to get to the experiment soon, deadlines pass after this week. cheers.

Ok, there was a few votes for this one from Daniel, and it sounds fun for me as well, so i will be working on :Albert Einstein, Michael Jackson, and Arnold Schwarzenegger are the stars of Back to the Future (Doc Brown, Marty, and Biff)It may take me a couple weeks to get time to spend on this. Stay tuned.

I've wanted to try something for awhile now and just never had the time.... i figured i should just post it to put a bit of pressure on myself to get off me ass. I want to do a test which I think would be fun and hopefully interesting to people. I'm not sure how much traffic i get anymore these days, but hopefully there are enough people seeing this to make this work. In the comments, in one

coming up for air. oh my busy.We're in the middle of our quarterly deadlines at work...things should be dying down in the next couple weeks though and I'll have time to do some art again at home. There's a bunch of new things I want to try and am looking forward to having some free time.

[click to enlarge]A quick sketch I worked on recently. It started out as just squiggly lines till i saw some hair and i went with it. I also seem to be on an upward facing camera kick with this and "untitled". This was in Photoshop CS2, I was also messing around with the brush settings to try to get the individual bristles look.

Its tough I guess knowing how often to update. I started this as a post whenever deal but things got off to a really good start and I felt like I had to keep posting to maintain the experience for repeat visitors but at some point that

I couldn't decide on a title because anything I thought of was adding a lot more meaning to the image and it wasn't speaking for itself. So here it is unfiltered.

Niko Bellic of Grand Theft Auto IV[click to enlarge]Here is an image I did for Official Playstation Magazine UK which is in their latest issue. I had a hard time getting it to look exactly like the game model because I started out with an illustration that I realized later was a bit different than the game. So after the fact, I started messing with it to try to get him closer to the game

Been a bit quiet here lately as I catch up on some errands and work. A word about upcoming things; I'll be posting the Nico Bellic image next week probably on Monday or Tuesday as thats when it hits newsstands in the UK. At the risk of losing a bit of my audience I'm going to be taking a break from untoonings as I feel like exploring some other concepts. I'll probably come back to them from

I ran across this blog a couple months ago by checking referring traffic sources and felt like I had to share it. It seems pretty popular already, but its new to me, so I'm posting it in case others haven't seen it before.Incredibly amazing collection of art and photography from different artists that I find very inspiring.http://www.cgunit.net/(some images potentially NSFW)check it.

Ok so I'm about 85% done with Stewie. I know I said it'd be done awhile ago but i only found time to really get into last night. Here is a preview:I definitely plan on finishing and posting this by noon Saturday the latest. This time for real!One thing I'm noticing is that these smooth skinned ones are hard to make "real". When you see the Stewie one, I think it will look a lot more drawn than

Someone passed this along. Pretty cool to see a whole bunch of untooning going on.Link: Worth1000.com RealToonsLooking through it looks like someone beat me to Stewie, and used the exact same pose I was using :\ Oh well, I think I'll pick a new Stewie image to start from. I can reuse about 90% of what i've already done, so it'll be fine. I'm not gonna say when its done since i missed the

I've been quiet for a bit but just wanted to update and let you know that I'm about half-way done with Stewie Griffin. The head is pretty much done but i'm doing a fullbody one this time so the clothes are taking longer than I want it to. I'll probably post it sometime this weekend. If not then Monday the latest.cheers.* UPDATE * I didn't end up recording the process this time around. It was

Just a real quick note, a lot of people have been asking what tool in Photoshop I used to smudge parts around without losing clarity and blurring the whole image. Answer to that is Liquify with a brush density of about 25. If you work a little higher resolution than your final image no detail is lost. Cheers!

For those interested, here is the first hour of work on Jessica condensed down to 10 minutes. It's a tad long to watch, but any faster and it was hard to see what's going on. You'll notice one of my main reference images was an Angelina Jolie picture. I'm curious if that's why people think she looks like her or if she would have looked like her no matter who I used.

I got started on this sooner than I thought and its 95% done. I'll probably post it Saturday morning the latest. It was a lot harder than I thought it'd be. Fun challenge! Anyway, just a heads up.Here's a teaser:

Although an untooning isnt the next thing i'll be working on I thought I'd throw up a poll while i still have some traffic to get an idea of what people like to see most. I narrowed it down to ones i think would be interesting and a challenge to work on. Make you pick on the upper right corner there. The reason I am avoiding certain suggestions is that some were too similar to what I've

Looking at the Homer pic, and after seeing a comment about it, i agree, i think i shoulda done more with the hair. he pretty much looks fully bald. oh well :\

I've gotten a lot of requests for untooning some other toons. I appreciate all the interest in what i've done over the last couple week and am glad people enjoy it. That said, it'll probably be a few posts before I get to another one. There are some other things I'd like to try here before doing another untoon. When the time comes to make another one though, I may put up a poll and see who

Here is a quick blend between the original image i used as my outline (click on the image to see the animated version). I noticed some comments wondering why i made the pupils so small and slightly off, it really was just because i was trying to stick to the original proportions of the cartoon so much. All Simpson's characters do have somewhat of a lazy-eye but its not as noticable when they

As promised, if our beloved Simpson patriarch wasn't a toon.[click to enlarge]This one was a bit more difficult in that i wanted the light to come in mainly from one side with a bit of back light. So all my reference had to be lit from one side. For textures i needed but didn't have this lighting situation, i had to darken or light a bit to give the same effect.For clarification, these aren't
