Muppets Pirates

And we are done.  The final lineup.  Rather sad they are finished, actually - it has been a lot of fun!
I have actually removed poor old Floyd, as he just didn't fit.  It is quite interesting how my style has developed since I drew the first Floyd to the final Ms. Piggy - onwards and upwards and to the next challenge!

Muppet Pirates - Miss Piggy!

And it is the end of an era – the last muppet.  And of course, no questions, it has to be the heroine of our tale…

Muppet Pirate of a different ilk

....am I a muppet or a man?

....most certainly a muppet.

Couldn't resist. And a chicken.

Kermit the Pirate

it's Kermie!

The bold hero of our tale!  And rather hard to draw and capture on paper!  Two to go.

Janice - Pirate Muppets!

One of my favourite Muppets... Janice! She is, of course, playing a "Calypso" type role aka Pirates of the Caribbean   I just wanted an excuse to draw a bit of spellcasting.  I am pretty sure she is saying"....dude." at this point.

Three Muppets to go!

Sam the Eagle – Muppet Pirates!

Muppet, Muppet, Muppet.

Muppet or a man?

Currently working on a new technique for drawing fur.   It is insanely addictive and fun.  However, inbetween this I am finishing the muppets lineup - Four to go!  I am planning on making a video of the process for these guys as I have had quite some interest in them - watch this space.

I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas – mine was just gorgeous, although it rained rather than snowed which always makes me sad.  Now it is time to crack the knuckles and get back to work.  I am nearing the end of my website building but only approaching the beginning of my goals.  2013 is going to be the year of art.   I have recently been approached to work freelance for a games studio, so that will take up a lot of my time for the next few weeks (and unfortunately I can’t share any of the work yet) – but it has been very exciting indeed!

Continuing with the Muppet Pirates project. Naturally, the scariest Muppet gets the role of the bad guy.  I am still slightly scared by him.

Muppets Pirates – Rizzo and Robin

Numbers 3 and 4 – The hero, Robin! (asides from his Uncle, of course) and his sidekick, Rizzo.  Rizzo is one of my favourite Muppets, if only because he is a rat and I have a soft spot for them.  Plus, he has a great voice.  I can’t wait until Christmas, because I can watch the Muppet Christmas Carol, one of the best things ever made.

Is it possible to say the word Muppet too often?

  

Muppet Pirates – Floyd Pepper

Hey Man…. It’s Floyd!

On to no 3!

Muppets - Beaker

...needs no words!
