Publius drawings (large)

[Publius]

Dr. Stephen Vincent Strange is an occultist with a pencil-thin mustache who regularly deals with weirdness and horror. Honestly, how could he look like anybody but Vincent Price?

[Publius]

Dan Murray, Director of the Federal Bureau of Intelligence



Amadeus Cho; Mrs. Whatsit; Hercules; Captain N; Pee-wee Herman

[Publius]

[Publius]

Really, there ought to be a tale in which Doctor Strange vanquishes some demon by invoking the power of the Thriller.



Tod and HM Simba, King of the Pride Lands



HIM Qosqo, The Only Inca of the Four Provinces; HRH The Princess Ariel of the Sea, Princess Erik of Denmark; Dopey; Alice Pleasance Liddell



Chip Potts; Ace "Chicken Little" Cluck; Abby "Ugly Duckling" Mallard; Fish-out-of-Water; Dumbo

[Publius]

Juan Sánchez de Villa-Lobos y Ramírez, chief metallurgist to the Holy Roman Emperor, King of the Spains, Duke of Burgundy, Lord of the Netherlands, and Grand Master of the Order of the Golden Fleece

[JME2]

Love your take on Dr. Strange and Alice.

[Shroom Man 777]

I like Ariel's face, expression and hair, but her arms are kinda mannish and unwomanly in their formation along with her big hands. Aztec dude has a nifty expression on his face, though.

Porter (Payback)



99 (Get Smart)



Ned Land (Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea), Max (Where the Wild Things Are), and Buzzsaw Girl (Defenders of Dynatron City)



Major-General Stanley, "the very model of the modern major-general" (The Pirates of Penzance; or, The Slave of Duty), Captain Corcoran, the well-bred captain of the Pinafore (H.M.S. Pinafore; or, The Lass That Loved a Sailor), and Dagwood Bumstead (Blondie)



Bambi and George Geef Goof

[Steve]

There's so amusingly jarring about seeing two uniformed 19th century British officers in the same image as Dagwood....

[Publius]

In the end, it was just too painful to draw GMC(SEAL) Delgado wearing a white hat. At any rate, since Shipwreck's uniform is obviously World War II-era dungarees (complete with right arm rating badge), the khaki combination cap is more accurate. His SEAL pin and the location of his pistol holster are also modifications from his original design.

I agree with this, Publius. I really like your drawing style but you have a tendency to make all your characters kind of solid, which is mostly just right, just not for some characters.

Also Shroom, that guy is an Inca (the Inca, in fact), not an Aztec (this has been your moment of pedantry for the day).

[Shroom Man 777]

Publius can do variations in forms just fine. It's just that this one, Ariel's bod really came out mannish. It might not have been a conscious thing, since most of his drawings are of dashing heroic manly manny manny man-men.

Hey, why don'tcha try drawing a lineup made out of hot chicks, and only hot chicks, Publius? A practice in the, ah, female form.

God's most beautiful creations.

[Publius]

Ariel's build was actually partially conscious and partially unconscious. Despite her appearance, she is not human, and mermaid sexual dimorphism is not necessarily identical. Also, despite her willowy build, she must naturally be rather more athletic than a human counterpart, as she spends the whole of her time swimming (the muscles in her hands would be more developed than a human girl's, since every movement is met by considerable resistance). For much the same reason, Namor, Namora, and Namorita were drawn with more muscular definition than usual, with somewhat thicker frames. On the other hand, Ariel is a young girl, and it is difficult to try to put bulk on her frame without it starting to lose the litheness of the actual cartoon. In the end, one can chalk it up to a learning experience (which was, after all, part of the point of the whole series).



President Hathaway (Monsters vs Aliens) and Boo (Monsters, Inc.)



B.O.B. (Bicarbonate ostylezene benzoate)



Ginormica



Captain General of the Mainland Othello

[Shroom Man 777]

I don't remember much of Monsters Inc, but I really find that cute petulant-looking little girl's head sticking out of a silly monster costume to be really cute. You're great with those facial expressions, Publius.

You know, without those captions I can't really figure out where half of those guys come from since I've often never even heard about those shows you take your characters from. I'm amazed at the sheer variety of characters you draw your drawings from. Man.

[Publius]

General of the Armies W. R. Monger (Monsters vs Aliens) and Captain of the Army Max Maverick (Isolated Warrior)



Pinocchio Geppetto



Launchpad McQuack



Donald Fauntleroy Duck



General of the Third Class Bel Riose, Commander-in-Chief Twentieth Imperial Fleet (Foundation and Empire)



Mary Poppins and Bert the Matchman (Mary Poppins), and Bobby Generic (Bobby's World)

[Publius]

Kirsty Cotton, looking a bit disheveled and haggard after her encounter with the Cenobites (Hellraiser)



Professor Hari Seldon, father of psychohistory (Foundation)



Tallisibeth "Scout" Enwandung-Esterhazy, Jedi Padawan (Yoda: Dark Rendezvous)



The Silver Surfer

[Shroom Man 777]

I like the maths on Hari Seldon. He can predict the demise of your civilization with a mere pocket calculator, which is an advanced form of technology from the far future!

[Grandmaster Jogurt]

I really like the lines and bags on Cotton's face and how they work with her expression and pose. It tells a lot just in those few light strokes.

[Publius]

The Hon. Phil Banks (Fresh Prince of Bel-Air) and Jean Grey

[Publius]

[Shroom Man 777]

Jean's pretty and MARIO STALIN! Man, Stalin must so ride a dinosaur! And crush Nazis with mushroom-shaped stalhelms!

[Pelranius]

I appreciate the way Judge Bank's is smiling with eyes seemingly on the verge of a hearty wink. He looks like he's about to tell a really non PC joke.

[Publius]

Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer



Capt. Carl Winslow, Linus van Pelt, and Snoopy



Torin Farmin, Steve Urkel, and Aaron the little drummer boy



The woman clothed in sun



Louis Tully and Wayne Szalinski



Conchobhar mac Leòid of Clann mhic Leòid

[Publius]

The Watcher



Elsie-Dee the sapient bomb, Lion-O, Lord of the Thundercats, and Cheetara the Swift

[Pelranius]

Hmmm, I don't suppose there's a Snoopy pic with the aviator helmet by any chance?

Urkel's glasses seem a bit bigger than on the show, but I think I like it better that way. It makes him slightly less obnoxious.
