Marvellose Villains

Thought I'd share with you guys some of the designs for the villains of "Its a Marvellose Life!"
As of now, there is one main villain with 4 lackeys, though this may change as I go along depending on how I do the story.

The guy on the left was just introduced - the Bandanna Bandit, who I'm thinking will be named "Claude." He's shy and actually quite nice, but only does mean things under the orders of his boss. The face on the bandanna is meant to make him look more threatening, since he's not actually much of a villain. The guy on the right is the villain's 'best' lackey, and I s'pose you could consider him the bad guy equivalent of Usi - a magic user, and the most intelligent of the bunch.This dude doesn't have any name yet, but I'm sure it won't start with Q... which brings about the question, "Whats the 'Q' stand for?" Even I don't know!
This guy can fold up into a ball and rocket around at super speed like a crazy little spaceship. I'm thinking he's the 'overly confident' bad guy of the bunch, and praises the leader no matter what.

Part of me rather likes this design, and part of me feels a little like I made her just to have a girl character... I guess its a little of both. She's meant to give off a french-clown sort of a look, but I'm still not sure what her powers and name will be... nor of her personality for that matter. We'll see in time!

Ah, here we go, the main baddy! Still no name, like most of these guys. As of now, his main goal, like any good villain, will be to take over the world, but to start it may just be a simple rivalry between him and Prince - his micro kingdom, a dark and unpleasant place, doesn't satisfy him; he's jealous that Prince was given rule over the whole of Marvellose in an instant thanks to the King, and he wants more. I'm not sure if I want to make him a serious or comic villain... maybe a mix of the two, depending on the situation.

New Logo for Marvellose

Was gonna do Page 11 tonight, revealing the Prince's portrait, but instead (with the help of a VERY nice friend with a degree in webdesign who showed me how to do some simple stuff), I took tonight to make the comic's page look a little nicer ^__^


First thing I did was make a simple logo to put up top instead of a lame, default text. I'm considering (in pairs of two to keep things even) of adding some of the main cast every so often around the lil' castle here.
I also made a simple purple brick pattern in the background, to go with the castle and further brighten the page.

This is the first doodle of Antonio I drew. I think this looks a little better then how he came out on Page 8, so I'll have to try and follow this design a bit better next time we see him.

Since Marvellose is pretty much limitless, theres plenty of room for me to include pretty much any kind of characters I want. These two, the Monochrom Bros., have always been two of my favorite characters that I've designed, ever since I drew them way back in my first year of High School. As such, I've been trying to redesign them, and maybe include them in the comic's canon somewhere.

Its a Marvellose Life! - Webcomic Started

http://marvellose.comicdish.com/

Yup, I finally started the thing up.

I'm a bit annoyed by the sudden shift in style I seem to see between Pages 1&2 and Pages 3&4 since there was a gap in how long I worked on the thing, but as a whole its coming out nice so far.

The Prince in particular is pleasing me, since he's starting to develop a little character - a mostly jolly guy, but a bit dense at times. And the court mage, Usi, came out better then expected.

And now for something completely different~

Comic-ocity Levels Increasing

STUUUUFF AND THIIINGS AND STUFFF!
A recent assignment for Art this week, which was to draw 4 pages of graphic novel based upon the first chapter of a book, is making me think that I could possibly go through with this webcomic thing. I'm certainly coming up with a lot of ideas lately, so, have-a some stuffs.

Here we have my design for the grand castle that the Prince (bah, can't come up with a name for him!) lives in. Its gi-huge-ic (we're talking fit-a-mountain-in-it huge!). Certainly leaves plenty of room for limitless guests from the bajillions of lil' kingdoms in the Prince's realm.

Here we have Usi, the Court Mage, who is based upon a good friend of mine.

He's the "stuffy, unhappy, realist" type, according to him. Provides the "anything can happen" magic for the "anything can happen" atmosphere of the comic's world. His little raven is named Eop and pretty much just sits there.

Here we have Marky the Massive, the leader of the "Kingdom of Endless Pumping", and based off of another good friend of mine. He's huge n' buff in real life, but a real sweetheart too, so I decided to go a step further with his character and make him titanic and the nicest guy in existence. The kingdom he rules is full of people who never - EVER - stop pumping iron, not even while sleeping!

These two pics are the 2 of the comic pages I had to do for my homework this week. They are based off part of the first chapter of a fantasy novel called "The Lightning Thief" that I had never heard of until I did this. In this case, the segment I read involved the main character and his teacher talk about the story of Kronos.

Webcomic, perhaaaaaps?

Yup, I got bored today and, rather then getting ahead on the two essays I have due Monday, I did some doodling. The first color pic is some stuff for my webcomic I might do. The two artists will probably be side characters, and the 3rd pic is probably just a one-shot character. I'm stilling trying to come up with a name for the actual comic though...

Here we have Jessie the Unfunny Jester, who rarely performs anything to do with his profession, and instead just acts lazy and grouchy. We also have a generic castle, maybe as the main one, maybe as one for the smaller kingdoms, I still don't know. And then we have The Prince (still needs a name!) who will serve as the comic's main character for the series - a generally nice guy who is often forced to be around the abundant weirdos throughout his kingdom whether he wants to or not.

Yup, I like these guys a bunch and decided they should have roles in my comic. I'm thinking they come from a kingdom in the land that is full of artists and creative minds, and they are good friends with the Prince character. The artist one is a happy guy, while his ice-sculptor friend is far gloomier.

Many of the smaller kingdoms may only appear once, or once in a while. This was an idea for one of the minor kings from a land of food-loving fatty fat fats who do nothing but eat all day. Most likely coming to the Prince to whine about the lack of Snacker-doodles or some such nonsense.

Redos and New-dudes Up-a the Wazzoo

STUFF! STUFF! MORE STUFF!
Had a bit of a creative splurge tonight after I started redoing some of my older doodles n' characters. I tried to stylize them a bit more, make them a bit less stiff and more curve-ity.
Anyoo, have another 6-pack of 6 pics.

Yup, the Artist and the Ice Sculptor return!
Looking at this compared to the originals, I think I have improved with my tablet at least a little bit.

Meet the Floppy Hat Boy. Just your average Joe, he'll gladly say hello when he passes by.

Whats that you say? These aren't redos? Hehe... WRONG!
They be redos of doodles I've never put on here.
Here we have Jessie the unfunny Jester, and some guy with a tall hat.

'Tis the cliche villain, making a return for postage past!

Protect your stuff from his sinister, no-currently-visible clutches!

Here's another you-haven't-seen-the-original-crap redo - the Bandanna Bandit.
He's got stretchy limbs and tries to distract people from his own face with the one on his head because, for a bandit, he's actually a rather shy lil' fellow.


Oh my... who is this simple guy? A bit of scrap art? Some thrown together garbage?
Nu... thou art wrong. The reason I've been doing so many redos is that I've kiiiinda soooorta been thinking about making an attempt at a webcomic if I have the time. As of now, the only stuff I pretty much know is that it'll be about a big Kingdom full of mini kingdoms (each about the size of a small village), each of which has its own wonky theme or specialty, such as "The Kingdom of People Who TALK REALLY LOUD" and so forth. This Prince guy will most likely be the main character, and the ruler of the Kingdom-ruling-the-kingdoms. Whether or not I go through with any o' this will depend on my free time, my usually no-existent dedication, and my equally-usually-non-existent patience, so we'll see!

Belated, Beautiful, Beyond Beliveable Begarbage

BAH. I have been lazy with this thing - over a month with no posts!
To make up for that, to some degree, by posting twice as much schtuff in this post :B
Most of it is a bunch of character-ma-doodles. OBSERVE THE BRAIN FARTS.

Here we have some kind of Storm King.

He controls the storms!~

This is a redesign of "Constantine," a character I designed for a comic my big bro might make in the future. This version is simpler then the original, and less serious.

Yup, another king! This one ish the king of all mice... though, unlike the one in the Nutcracker, this one is really nice and will give you CHEEEEEESE!

Meet the good Lady Gretel von Thunderthighs, a big fat lady.
She's... really fat... and dresses bad.

1... 2... 3... it must be the Numeric Trio! Masters of all things that are multiples of one, two, and three!... and nothing else... its limited, but its something, right?

And now, for a more impressive trio - the Swirlies! There is a nice one, a silly one, and a tough one! Their personalities may not be that original, but I like how they look. They give off a sort of Samrio vibe, at least how I look at 'em.
