Infinitely Epic Comic Book Donation

 Excited 

Overwhelmed

Blown Away

But more than anything extremely grateful

My Friend Jared messaged me a couple of days ago and said he was cleaning out his comic book collection, and would I be interested in taking them off his hands.  My reply was a resounding

 "OF COURSE I'D LIKE THEM!!!!"

I had no idea the magnitude of the gift he would give me.

I took a few pictures but I've only scratched the surface of what these boxes contain

Two huge file boxes full of comic books!

This is just a quick sample platter 
of what the boxes contain 
but this is only about 8% of what's there.

All I can say is......

Thanks again sooooo much Jared

These comic will be cared for with love.

Chris.

All Should Kneel Before Linus!

I am pleased to announce that I now have a premium membership on Deviant Art due to the generosity of a fellow artist.  She donated a whole 12 month membership to me and I can't say how honored I am with this gift.  This is the piece she requested when I asked her what I could draw her as a thank you...I'm probably gonna do more.  One piece to say thank you for a PM doesn't seem fair.

Anywho I thought I'd show the stages I go through when I'm working on my stuff 

#1 Sketch

#2 Ouline

#3 First Coloring

#4 Second Coloring and Shading

#5 Added Textures

#6 Added Background

So there it is the finished product.  

I hope she likes it.

Donation Thank You.

I'm Finally Getting Donations!

Hoooorrrraaayy!

Okay before anyone freaks out and says...

 "I didn't know you were trying to get donations!" 

"What are you need donations for?!?!"

The Donations are for a Premium Membership on Deviant Art where I've been showcasing my drawings this year.  DA is a wonderful art sharing social network site and I've met a bunch of talented, innovative, and interesting people.  You can join the site for free but a premium membership costs about $30 if you want all the fun bells and whistles and stuff.  You can also start up a donation pool where people can donated points towards your goals which is what I did.  $30 = 2,396 points.

I started the donation pool a few weeks ago and

so far I've gotten 2 donations of 20 points so I'm on my way.

Thanks so much to JB from Canada for your donation.

my first donator wanted to remain anonymous.

ANYWAY I asked JB what I could draw her to say thank you and she said Adventure Time so I made her this.....

Doctor Who Week Part 1

That's right ladies and gents

Its Doctor Who week here at

Chris's 365 Days of Doodles

I decided to start off with the first three Doctors. The ones I was first introduced to.  I started watching the DW series when the ninth Doctor was doing his thing and have (like so many before me) fallen in love with all things Doctor Who.  I've always been a Sci-Fi fan and will without shame admit to being both a Fanboy (Star Wars Fan) and a Trekkie or Trekker or whatever (if you don't know what that is I'd be shocked).  

However for some reason I always shied away from Doctor Who until one night I saw that it was on and said what the hell.  I've been hooked ever since.  With the desire so be a true "Whovian" I've been slowly plugging my way through the Classic Doctor Who episodes since they're available on both Netflix and of course Hulu Plus.  I've made it to the third Doctor and can't help but enjoy the novelty of the old school filming techniques and special effects.

Here are the Doctors that have kept me hooked.

145/365
The Ninth Doctor

The Ninth Doctor was portrayed by the British Actor Christopher Eccleston during the first series of the show's revival in 2005.  The show had been on hiatus since 1996 and Eccleston is credited with helping to revive the series.  His edgy less eccentric take on the famous role and the introduction of a much stronger female companion brought a whole new generation of Whovians (me included) to the sleeping franchise.  He may not be the most popular these days what with both the tenth and eleventh Doctor's numbers of fans but no one should forget that without number nine there can't be a 10, 11, or soon to be 12.

144/365
The Tenth Doctor

The Tenth Doctor was portrayed by the Scottish Actor David Tennant (whom many of you may remember from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire as Barty Crouch Jr.) took over the role of The Doctor after Christopher Eccleston's single season.  Tennant as the Tenth Doctor then proceeded stay on for three seasons, a number of shorts and animated spin offs, & the traditional Christmas specials.  He was voted the UK's favorite doctor in 2013 and its no surprise.

When the Ninth Doctor died and regenerated I was totally unaware that this could happen (even though if I'd been paying any attention at all to the Doctor Who world it was a well established reality).  I was sad and not big on the idea of accepting a new actor into the role, but David Tennant turned out to be stupendously wonderful in the role and I was quickly hooked on the 10th doctor too.

143/365
The Eleventh Doctor

The Eleventh Doctor was portrayed by the British Actor Matt Smith and again as the Tenth Doctor was dying I was angry.  David Tennant disappeared and Matt Smith took his place, and just as with the case of David Tennant I fell in love with Smith's version too. Smith was in three seasons as well as seven specials, over an almost four-year-long period.  Smith was amazing in so many ways.

Just talking about the Doctors in the show doesn't even scratch the surface of the array of wonderful characters he comes into contact with. 

Stay tuned for more Who-Fun.

For Nikki

My wife Nikki loves Snoopy and Woodstock above all other Peanuts characters.  When she saw my Snoopy Falcon picture she was like "oh that's my fav."  So I made one just for her on Mother's Day.

Snoopy Barton

Keeping the Avengers Theme going.  I chose to model my Snoopy Hawkeye after the artist David Aja's current version of the hot headed Shield agent.
