The Alice pic was an awesome surprise! I really adore it, the light penetrating the top was a lovely touch too.

I tried a showcase topic once before, but after a severe case of artist block and other unavoidable problems, it was left abandoned. I'm back in the drawing game, and wanted to try something different for a showcase thread, so assuming it's okay to do so, I'm starting a new one.

 

This new version also comes with a comic/story featuring me and two of my other mascot characters as we search a tower constructed be my own imagination. Pictures I draw either get featured in the background or become part of this comic/story. I'll let the other me explain some more. But first...

Yes I say "Epilogue picture" there.

Even though I try not to. My posts often do have a typo or three, so a mistake here and there is actually a pretty realistic interpretation of me. lol

Also, did you spot the balloons in that picture? You'll find out what that is, below.

A Frank Miller or Sin City style picture was one of the very first pictures I did for somebody else when I first joined Deviantart 8 years ago.

The symbol to the right of this picture is from a live action, US crime drama series, called The Mentalist.

Danfields Desktop?

 

After the story concludes, a segment begins, hosted by Danfield. He'll show other peaces of art that couldn't be featured in the story.

However, due to him oversleeping, I'll have to do the first installment for him.

 

First up, a collection of art you may have seen around the SSMB already.

And that's about it for this edition. I'll get that lazy cat to do his job next time!

 

I look like Dexter.

 

Again, I love it. <3

 

I dig the Sonic Drift 2 artwork, very nice job on the other ones, also!

Wow, thanks a lot guys. Your praise inspires me to push to even greater heights! biggrin.png

 

I do feel I should fill in some blanks as I had to rush that first post because I accidentally posted it before I finished writing it. ^^;

The Dunce Tower story has 3 primary roles, the first is to reveal my original characters in a unique way, the second is to add something extra into my showcase thread, and third is as an artist block prevention tactic. The artist block prevention tactic is using themes to prevent any potential blocks I might get stuck in. Because the tower has resources for every activity, like a shooting range for the gunslinger characters to hangout in. People like Dante, Noel Vermillion, Yoko Littner and so on... As well as a stage and sound studio that characters like the K-On band, the Glee Club from Rhythm Heaven and Hatsune Miku and her Project Diva crew. The possibilities are almost endless.

 

Next thing I should mention is that the comic isn't in the top of priority, so sometimes a post might not have an update to the comic. It is also draw in a simple and almost crude way, to reduce time needed to work on it. However I do plan to alter and evolve to style it is shown in as the story goes. I deliberately made it look painfully simple at the start. Kirby is a main character in the story. And how the story moves forward is not written in stone. So I'll alter or add stuff if I feel like it, and nothing is off limits.

For example, here is a title card I'm working on:

 

img292ux.jpg
I'm gonna have it fully coloured in. At first it was only going to be Dizzy that would appear in the first floor, but then I remembered how easy it is to draw Bomberman, so I added him too. I also noticed how the Crash Bandicoot thread was surprisingly active, so I added him as well. That's what I mean by it not being written in stone.
 
The art I create that gets placed into the comic, come in 3 different types.
  1. A special picture created specifically for the comic. (Prologue/Invitation/Panel 3 & Panel 6)
  2. A pre-drawn picture that becomes an entire panel. (Kirby - Panel 7)
  3. A drawing placed into the background. (Sonic Drift 2: Black Knight Fan art Winner - Panel 12)

Because of the limit one post can submit images of, some art have to be relegated to direct links. I doubt any of my future posts will be bigger than the OP, but just in case, look out for the direct link pictures.

 

Lastly the comic is a showcase thread exclusive, it will not be featured in my Deviantart gallery. However, not all of my future art will be appropriate under the SSMB rules, so some wont be shown here but will be at my DA account. However, if I make a picture that doesn't fit with the rules for SSMB or DA, I'll find a third alternative. I don't know what that is yet, just something to consider. I do have a tumblr account thing, but I haven't figured out the basics of using it yet...

Finally, not sure how to find my DA page? It's in my sig and profile page.

 

That'll be all. Dismissed!

Well, will be fun to see what you do next.... wonder if you have any plans for Vectorman or Warhead/Raster showing up, that could be amusing.....

Heh, that sounds like a good idea to me. The potential ideas for how to get them both in, are already flowing.  Characters that died in there own story can also make an appearance, as well as alternate versions of a character being a separate person entirely. I was actually gonna open up the floor for any and all character suggestions anyone had to also make an appearance in the story. I forgot to mention it though. ^^;

 

Also if anybody wants me to draw a full on coloured picture in any specific style, I'm happy to take commissions and have written down prices and stuff here:  and here: http://danj86.deviantart.com/journal/Taking-Commissions-353109325 They both have the same info, one link is from the Artist Commission thread and the other is from my DA journal.

 

I should've also mentioned that earlier... ^^;

Well, I did have two other ideas, you could run into Nack The Weasel, hanging out next to a window with Sonic's Sneakers hanging on the wall, and he points you to the window, where you see sonic in a chamber with a hamster wheel with the labrinyth sneakers on saying, I cant stop! Then you hire Nack to help you track down some of the other trouble makers in the tower.

Other one is that Ant-Man(also is Giant-man) could be there working in a lab for some reason(maybe you have a problem related to biochemisty, like out of control plants, or insects or something ;) ) , and there are several amusing scenarios you could have with various characters stealing some back-up shrinking and growth(as in height) pills he carried on him, that could get funny....

This character is how he portrayed himself in his own hourly comic. They were pretty cute and funny, but they weren't in colour and I didn't want to guess what colour his skin or hair could be, without knowing for certain. So I figured he should stay all white. It actually looks good like that in my opinion and does kinda fit with his quiet nature.

I don't see him post much, not that there's anything wrong with that.

 

That is absolutely amazing! Great Job, I love it.

 

Can I use that as my avatar?

Sure, that would be an honor.

 

All you guys can use the art anyway you see fit, if you wanna. biggrin.png

Yep, last time I did something like this, it took half a year to finish. I doubt I'd ever need to draw 5000+ pictures with the no longer active, the lurkers and the just plain forgotten that they joined members in that number. I do plan to attempt to include all the major members, the most active and all the staff for both SSMB and TSS.

That includes you. tongue.png

 

Oh, but if there is anybody who might not wish to be represented in the picture, you might want to contact me. I've already wrote down the next 25 members I'm going to be working on next, including the 3 concept sketches I showed.
