A New Caricature... Mr. Patrik Puhala.

Well.. Now that the Ice Age 4 train is slowing into the station, I hope to find more time to play with my new Cintiq, and get around to posting more! Ive really been wanting to learn how to do some digital painting/coloring, so bear with me.. the first lot may be pretty rough. Any tips, tricks, advice, or critique is more than welcome! Be gentle though.. Im a crier.

My cubical neighbor at work is none other than the recently Annie Award nominated Patrik Puhala. Man oh man can that guy animate! I did a doodle of him during sweatbox dailies, and that turned into another one, and then Melvin Tan did his draw over version, and then that melded into a final one. Here they are.

One of the first editions...

... Mr. Melvin Tan's slightly aged up version :P ...

... By our Powers Combined we give you .... Patrik!!!

... and lastly, my first attempt at some Painting ... lets call it an ode to Mr. Pontillas' wicked style!

Well, lets hope with hours returning to normal, that this is the first of many new updates.. you know... for any of you that are actually seeing this :P

Graham - Pont-ified once again!

So Bobby is spending his downtime catching up on all of his Blue Sky Caricatures. Here is his AWESOME one of yours truly! Upon posting it, he immediately sent me a message to assure me that he knows I am on Weight Watchers and am slimming down, but thought the drawing represented me better like this. What I heard was..... Graham.... try all you want.. but you were a Fatty once, and you will always be a Fatty to me! Nice Bobby.... Nice. :P

- Love Graham

Caricatures.. yet again!

First off we have the lovely Kim Chase, who recently departed the Blue Sky halls for a new position at Pepsi! All the best Kim!

Then we have Mr. Bert "Let them Love" Chung. Cooooooool.

and finally Glen "I am the best at everything ever" Young. Seriously... When I first met Glen, we was so chill.. then we started a Bsky Foosball tournament, and his true colors came a shining through. He became an Animal! He could give Monica Gellar a run for her money :P

Thanks for stopping by.

Pontillas' Pics back for Round 2!

Below is the latest Grab-Bag of random doodles that Mr. P felt should be posted, rather than binned.

Two of our most recently departed animators, Mr. Bobby Huth & Mr. Brian Menz. Both very talented dudes who have decided to share their mad skills with the good folks over at Disney.

Whilst listening to the soothing melodies of Pantera, I sketched this quick Dimebag riffin' pose.

Some random man face...

... Derp y derp ...

Im not sure who this is supposed to be, but man is he uuuugly.

Thanks Bobby P! More to come.

A Few More Blue Sky Caricatures.

Here are some more caricatures of some of my fellow Blue Sky Cohorts.

Mr. Pete Paquette, who recently jumped ship for a tour of duty in the Video Game world. We miss you Jerk!

A lovely lady I had the pleasure of sitting with for a while, Mrs, Carolyn Kaiser. She's been learning the Guitar.. hence the .. .. Guitar.

and here is Mr, Ken Kaiser. Officially the Happiest person on the face of the planet! Seriously, Im about 98% certain that you could punch him right in the throat and we would not only take it with a smile, but thank-you and give you a hug. Not that you would ever want to do that.. hes just too darn Nice!

... some Ken pre-drawings...

and a couple of quick planning sketches of the one and only, Mr. Jimothy Jackson!
... He once worked at Disney!

These caricatures probably don't look much like their subjects.. unless of course you don't know them.. then they are Spot-ON!

Rando Calrissian....

S'been a while since I last posted, so... here are a few Random Doodles for your perusal.

This first one is a super fast doodle I did while sitting across from the one and only Mr. BJ Crawford. He strikes some pretty awesome poses whilst he animates.

The second one is a self portrait of how I felt while watching my beloved Canucks suffer a complete meltdown in the Stanley Cup Finals. Well.. Theres always next year... sniff...

This here is a painting I did for a Canadian Rock girl Britt Black.

and lastly, me and the boys at work have our daily runs to Dunkin Donuts, and on these trips, we see some pretty interesting things. On one such trip, this woman ran past us, and I had to do a double take. Her lower body and upper body did not match proportionally at all. Her Upper Body was of average shape and size, but she had really large legs.

Well... there we be. As you were.
