Twisted & evil"Another picture from many a year ago. Specifically the month of October in the year 2000 and diggity twelve. The brief was to draw a girl and a robot. Result was this pic inspired by the old New Zealand country school tradition of Lamb and Calf day. For overseas people (or townies) who have no idea what I talking about, this event involves kids entering their pet lambs and calves in a contest which I suppose could be described as a rustic Crufts dog show for sheep and cattle.<br />

Started this picture of Don Quixote fighting the windmill giants ages ago. Semi finished it but never really liked it. In fact it made me feel ill to stomach to think I had created such an abomination to nature. So I whacked it over the back of the head with a mouse pointer and buried it in a shallow unmarked folder deep in the forest of my unwanted computer files.<br />
A year or so passed. Felt like wandering around my computer file system to visit old haunts and eventually wandered into the forest. Came across the place where I buried the abomination of Don Quixote. Remembered what I did and felt the pangs of guilt. Just happened to have a spade with me so I dug it up ,washed the mud off and took it back to my Photoshop cottage. Then over the period of a few nights and a day or so, I Frankensteined the picture back together in a totally different way. And now here it is: stuck out on the blog front porch to scare dogs and wandering hobos. <br />
Not so hating of it any more. Might take a trip back out to that forest someday to see what other corpses I can reanimate.<br />Chris Guisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11982422606441621640noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7368128106531568769.post-33556877759716126272014-10-28T19:03:00.000+13:002014-10-28T19:28:30.753+13:00Just a Clint in your mother's eye.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

Why did I use "Wookiepedia" as a title for this post? No deep reason. Just couldn't think of any other Chewbacca pun to use. (Well, it was either that or "Chewie the Han that feeds you" which is a bit too pun-desperate sounding.)</div>

So usually, I grab a scrap bit of paper and draw random stuff. (Yeah. No need to point out the obvious fact that my work involves drawing and I'm basically working to relax. Isn't irony oh so amusing?) <br />
These were October's brain farts. If you know what any of these things have in common, please tell me. I don't want to be the last one to find out I've predicted the apocalypse by accident. <br />

So in August, after meeting up with my sister and niece in Dubai, we all went touristy around parts of England and Ireland. For the entire month long trip, I intentionally didn't pick up a pencil (which for me is basically the brain equivalent of cntl-alt-delete). However, my camera was never out of reach which resulted in an 8 gig and a 16 gig memory card being filled with all sorts of random snapshots from the trip. Some of the people we encountered were so extreme, I really wanted to get a photo of them so I'd have enough reference to do a caricatured portrait when I got home. This was one such case.<br />
<br />
This man and cat were sitting outside an Irish pub we popped into for a quick road break. He was trying his hardest to look like he didn't care about the feline but the cat wouldn't have any of it and pestered the man until it got some attention. <br />

Despite all the promises and threats from many years past, you may have noticed I haven't put anything on this blog for a long, LONG time. But trust me. I have a really good reason. (And it has absolutely nothing to do with being a lazy ass who never completes anything he starts. Neither is it due to being a totally insecure delusional paranoid who dreads showing his artwork to anyone besides the bits and bytes that make up his personal drawings folder on his computer.)<br />
<br />
But as the old saying goes, "That's all Cryptosporidiosis Ridden water under the bridge". Time has come to turn over a new leaf and actually post something new. Hence this pic of young John Hurt. Why John Hurt? Well...that's for you to ask and for me to respond with "dunno". <br />

Including Frank Victoria, Rebekah Holguin, Rob Baldwin, Christian Pearce, Greg Broadmore, Adam Anderson, Matty Rodgers, Tim Gibson, Paul Tobin, Daniel Falconer, Stephen Crowe and Gus Hunter. Also they are pieces from your favourite Weta Digital artists including Michael Pangrazio and Ravi Bansal. Unfortunately there are also a few scribblings from your least favourite Weta Workshop artist in there too but don't worry. I printed my paintings on cork which can be used as a dartboard if the reader needs to hone their dart throwing skills.<br /><br />You can pre-order the book from the link below if y'all are interested. It's the perfect Christmas present for people who like getting Christmas presents.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.wetanz.com/the-art-of-the-adventures-of-tintin/">http://www.wetanz.com/the-art-of-the-adventures-of-tintin/</a>Chris Guisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11982422606441621640noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7368128106531568769.post-64164220024844527312011-06-20T19:00:00.000+12:002011-06-21T11:07:10.280+12:00Sketchy SketchesWhoo boy! Been busy this year.<br />Too busy to chuck anything on this blog despite all my half-assed promises. Understandable I suppose considering I'm working on ***TOP SECRET***. Especially the section where ***CLASSIFIED*** kicks ***CLASSIFIED*** in his ***CLASSIFIED*** with a pair of size 10 ***CLASSIFIED***. (Man! I'm glad I've got that off my chest. It's so hard to keep a secret)<br /><br />Anyways, what I've posted here is the scrap of paper I have sitting next to me when I work. Whenever I need to clear my head or give my A.D.D. freedom for a few moments, I type a random famous person's name on the 'puter and sketch a photo that comes up on Google. Only spend about 5 to 10 mins on each one but it's enough to placate my restless ways so I can get back to work.<br /><br />In other words, I've just posted brain farts. Hope you enjoy the smell of rotten eggs.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg56/GLOWTRON/Slapdash%20Sketches/Sketches_21Jun11.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 346px; height: 477px;" src="http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg56/GLOWTRON/Slapdash%20Sketches/Sketches_21Jun11.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Chris Guisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11982422606441621640noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7368128106531568769.post-26808416069671098792010-11-29T18:51:00.003+13:002010-11-29T19:17:43.434+13:00The Slacker Speaks.The observant of you ( in fact even the most unobservant of you ) will probably have noticed a severe lack in anything appearing on this blog. I have many excuses, one of which is my usual slacker attitude. But I won't bore you with these excuses (mainly because that would involve too much typing and as I said before, I'm a slacker).<br />Instead, here's an advert that was published in a couple of NZ newspapers back when a fair few of us New Zealand film technicians were worried the Hobbit was going to be filmed overseas. Because of the tight deadline, it ended up being one of the few times I've sat down at a computer and painted from mid morning, through the afternoon, through the night and way into the following day. In total I was awake for 40 hours straight. (cue the woe is me, sob-story violin soundtrack.)

I hear you moan. <br />Good question.<br /><br />Well, since I'm supposed to be keeping this blog thing updated now I have a fancy 'puter, I might as well get back into some other old habits while I'm on a roll. Namely One Hour Slap Dash Sketches.<br /><br />Back in my Cartoon Portraits in Shopping Mall days, I would practice in my time off sketching something that interested me. Since the only thing that interested me most the time were movies, I would pick a scene or two from a favourite movie and sketch it for one hour. No rules except it had to be one hour exact and no erasers allowed except for rubbing out scummy hand smears and stress teardrops on the page.<br />The result of this whole exercise usually ends up being pretty embarrassing but hey... you guys won't laugh at me, will ya? ( I hope like hell you're nodding in agreement otherwise I'll just go back to living in my spiderhole.)<br /><br />Well, here goes. <br />I'll probably make this a once a week thing on the blog.<br />The movie scene for this week is the opening of "Once Upon a Time in the West"<br />Remember, be gentle.

Doesn't time fly when you're doing diddly squat with your spare time.<br />So what's new?<br />Well the biggest news is I got me a brand sparkly new computer, which looks something like this...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg56/GLOWTRON/Cybopixel500.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 155px; height: 248px;" src="http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg56/GLOWTRON/Cybopixel500.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>This means I <span style="font-style: italic;">might </span>actually be updating this blog a bit more often. (Please note the word <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">MIGHT</span>. The above sentence is by no means a contract or a promise so you can't sue me if you don't see me post anything for the next 5 years.)<br />One of the first mediocre pictures I did on my new wonder abacus was a picture for the crew of popular Discovery show "<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Mythbusters</span>". Apparently co-host Adam Savage is a huge fan of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Weta</span>. So he sent us a bunch of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Mythbusters</span> T Shirts and autographed Postcards.<br />"Awfully nice of the chap" I thought. "How can I repay his kindness? I know! I'll draw him an incredibly mediocre picture so he'll end up hating us & never contact us ever again!"<br />A few chaps from the workshop were due to meet up with Adam at Comic Con. Out of this group, I selected model maker extraordinaire Dave <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Tremont</span> to be the unfortunate bearer of my aforementioned piece of mediocrity.<br /><br />Here, in all it's blandness, is this image.<br />Children, pregnant women and weak stomached people - look away now.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg56/GLOWTRON/Mythbusters.jpg"><br /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg56/GLOWTRON/MBusters.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 301px; height: 212px;" src="http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg56/GLOWTRON/MBusters.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Unfortunately, it looks like I failed my mission.

It's a Jelvis today!Now I remember why I slacked off posting blogs. <br />I have so little time yet I have so much procrastination to be done every week. How can I meet my procrastination quota if I have to keep drawing 15 min quick crappy sketches for my blog? <br /><br />Speaking of which, here's this weeks poop peanut .<br />Fellow Wetarian and all round incredibly talented bastard Ben Mauro (go look at his feckin' cool artwork at http://www.artofben.com/) sent me a youtube link to a Peter, Bjorn and John music video called "Nothing to Worry About". <br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwcaQ3qJ88U<br /><br />Viewing it reminded my remembering meat muscle of the entertaining phenomenon of Dancing Harajuku Elvis gangs. That started my thinking thing a-working which resulted in me saying "I will draw me a Jelvis". 10 minutes later, the picture below had oozed out of my wacom pen.<br /><br />If you're lucky, a Jelvis will take offense at the image and stab me to death with his oh so pointy hairdo. If you're not so lucky, I will return next week with another time waster.<br /><br /><br />Fries<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg56/GLOWTRON/Jelvis.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 472px; height: 666px;" src="http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg56/GLOWTRON/Jelvis.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Chris Guisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11982422606441621640noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7368128106531568769.post-76443773051714140972010-02-11T18:31:00.004+13:002010-02-11T19:22:57.048+13:00WHAT THE...????

HE'S ACTUALLY UPDATED THE BLOG!!!!Yeah I know. I ain't done nuttin' on this blog for almost a long time now.<br />You probably thought I was dead or running across America trying to forget Jenny and her coyly sleezy ways. Well, you were close.<br /><br />I was being artistic. You know, putting things off then never getting round to actually doing them. It's a fine tradition handed down from lazy artist to lazy artist and who am I to try and break tradition.<br /><br />Anyhows, I actually did a picture recently which I thought I might splatter on the internet to take up more room between the spam and the Catz images. Did it in 'bout quarter hour or so, so if it looks rushed and slightly 15 minuteish, that's why.<br /><br />As yes it's Jean Reno again. Don't know why. It just is.<br />Might try moving onto pictures of Gene Simmons next. Just work my way thru all the Gene pool.<br /><br />T.T.F.N.<br />Fries<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg56/GLOWTRON/Reno-1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 290px; height: 410px;" src="http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg56/GLOWTRON/Reno-1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Chris Guisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11982422606441621640noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7368128106531568769.post-24523782941613999612009-03-12T19:16:00.005+13:002009-03-12T19:37:30.112+13:00Inbred Fishing<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUL4h-t2unofRskaYcfFw3w6DiVXxMPNPtZoRQ2gfILgIR2cqGbpcbf488ckIe7zVOe4q5kXq6NhuGfbvDOjbpbpKqL_s0X-KTd3cyFIaFXQlOM45RTiwoeOYqglHoacjnMFgQdffufBg/s1600-h/Inbred+Fishing.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 268px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUL4h-t2unofRskaYcfFw3w6DiVXxMPNPtZoRQ2gfILgIR2cqGbpcbf488ckIe7zVOe4q5kXq6NhuGfbvDOjbpbpKqL_s0X-KTd3cyFIaFXQlOM45RTiwoeOYqglHoacjnMFgQdffufBg/s200/Inbred+Fishing.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312183798229754866" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Van Gogh</span> - "<span style="font-style: italic;">Sunflowers</span>".<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Warhol</span> - "<span style="font-style: italic;">Campbell Soup</span>".<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Me</span> - "<span style="font-style: italic;">Jethro Jr. done some fishing with this here shotgun axe</span>".<br /><br />Who says my work can't be deep and meaningful?Chris Guisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11982422606441621640noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7368128106531568769.post-88820751248817464182009-03-10T18:26:00.005+13:002009-03-10T19:22:33.219+13:00GDT Congrats Advert<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_Qr_1cJJ3x3gC1lWVWUxLSSToIx7XBB3grXpG2REjOt0ZqIICTVrvWSx4KNl7T70yDK4bq0pE_vJnvhCC5rGL4zOs6seQp7RzWdBzzcbjisUTXv_0eIdQrRrnq87IzP7O8aLczfXL0EI/s1600-h/Award.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 154px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_Qr_1cJJ3x3gC1lWVWUxLSSToIx7XBB3grXpG2REjOt0ZqIICTVrvWSx4KNl7T70yDK4bq0pE_vJnvhCC5rGL4zOs6seQp7RzWdBzzcbjisUTXv_0eIdQrRrnq87IzP7O8aLczfXL0EI/s200/Award.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311430893756871746" border="0" /></a><br />Every so often, I do a card or an advert for some random occasional occasion. Here is an example of one such occasion.<br /><br />Back in May 2008, director Guillermo Del Toro recieved a Saturn George Pal Memorial Award for his fine work on films such as "<span style="font-style: italic;">Hellboy</span>", "<span style="font-style: italic;">Pan's Labyrinth</span>", "<span style="font-style: italic;">Devil's Backbone</span>" and "<span style="font-style: italic;">Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo</span>". (actually, I might have to check my sources on that last one).<br />Anyhoo... some of the guys over here New Zedland wanted to put a congratulary advert in the award show brochure that was handed out at the event. This image was the result.<br /><br />I am still running from Guillermo to this day.Chris Guisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11982422606441621640noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7368128106531568769.post-53832887239135753312009-03-09T18:02:00.008+13:002009-03-10T19:21:05.183+13:00Weta Calender Pages_Part un.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0ltjLv4gDVjurfhy7bnnKZ1RMUGfqFX-0P_SBPx1POVHgbStCqq1jQMysuj2cEnYRUn6L3ZOM_p18tMhohbqaH-qQBoHbWupiMuiRTUmBELAPuDV5ugfHCa6LpBUXTXsOdaabYtUT6_k/s1600-h/001_Cover.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0ltjLv4gDVjurfhy7bnnKZ1RMUGfqFX-0P_SBPx1POVHgbStCqq1jQMysuj2cEnYRUn6L3ZOM_p18tMhohbqaH-qQBoHbWupiMuiRTUmBELAPuDV5ugfHCa6LpBUXTXsOdaabYtUT6_k/s200/001_Cover.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311057842837702722" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzOPNebkx3t9n2_9XmaiM4TA0QrnZX49zEE56P8p-B6KOrILFFX-wW0Cj26fL1Wv9aIUvT_S6lgo0ZmqGOK01QJKj4Au84cpPBX08_ZmuB4LvHnlT65ItfKPKiNF_UvEFIlY_fUsFC4d0/s1600-h/002_January.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzOPNebkx3t9n2_9XmaiM4TA0QrnZX49zEE56P8p-B6KOrILFFX-wW0Cj26fL1Wv9aIUvT_S6lgo0ZmqGOK01QJKj4Au84cpPBX08_ZmuB4LvHnlT65ItfKPKiNF_UvEFIlY_fUsFC4d0/s200/002_January.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311057842328519506" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTVXOK5snCIWFd-yj7pCNUrCyRBaUmxWswQ1CDsksogZOcTT6BL7K0NgBilmHhN1GVemSYqD3fRH7TpuyVMoHRitbnolvrJZ23crW4Uml-X4rA9G9WUp29CAqD4CG5QBtVi1NZ0jc_v5g/s1600-h/004_February.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTVXOK5snCIWFd-yj7pCNUrCyRBaUmxWswQ1CDsksogZOcTT6BL7K0NgBilmHhN1GVemSYqD3fRH7TpuyVMoHRitbnolvrJZ23crW4Uml-X4rA9G9WUp29CAqD4CG5QBtVi1NZ0jc_v5g/s200/004_February.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311057837484270370" border="0" /></a><br />Way back in September of Two Thousand and diggity Eight, mankind hadn't invented days or months yet. So it was left to a numerically dyslexic person like myself to make a thing called a calender to help other idjits in the world remember when days like the first of April would be.<br />This callender was then given as a Xmas gift for people working at Weta Workshop and sold in the official Weta store for the average Joe to buy a copy. Needless to say it was a huge success for landfill owners throughout Wellington.<br />For your viewing displeasure, here are the first few pages that started the trend for burning calenders you've come to know and love. I'll post the other pages some other time when I feel you need another digital kick in the groinbag.Chris Guisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11982422606441621640noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7368128106531568769.post-57234001037868863372009-03-09T13:39:00.001+13:002009-03-10T19:21:41.613+13:00GRARG WITH GUN!!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGNRmiZe2p1_vXbybfzrboY6-LJ6IqktxaCHjoNzLY4IIEje-5peBcSnzSJHHGAkB_yx7jaHlbcfgrgpb5NQNerXqw5notV5Y0nGg6F9moW03bBN4ixBWYvpqhdxAfupdgEu-qo-fmDjw/s1600-h/GRARG.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 226px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGNRmiZe2p1_vXbybfzrboY6-LJ6IqktxaCHjoNzLY4IIEje-5peBcSnzSJHHGAkB_yx7jaHlbcfgrgpb5NQNerXqw5notV5Y0nGg6F9moW03bBN4ixBWYvpqhdxAfupdgEu-qo-fmDjw/s320/GRARG.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5310985532789753650" border="0" /></a>An old, quick portrait of Weta Designer and Weta Raygun creator Greg Broadmore. You can find his own face-punchingly good work at...<br />http://gregbroadmore.blogspot.com/<br />By the way, Greg's face is now 99% beard so this image is a bit out of date.<br /><br />As an added note, this was the first picture I did using my new "Wacom Cintiq LCD tablet doowhatsit". It's just like using paper except imagine the paper is worth $1000 or so and looks more like a LCD wacom tablet than paper.
