Mahvoh Capcom and a chibi

Another warmup gone too far. I love to fill a page until there's absolutely no room left for any other character-these sometimes look like collages. I kept returning to this page in between Darkstalkers pencils.  Before warmup sketchin I was lookin' through Joe Mad's Ultimates comic(pencils version) so if you recognize that Venom that's why ;)
The Venom in Black is probably also inspired by Mad's but drawn on another day.
 I did these Bishamon studies before I started pencilling the Darkstalkers pages.  I used a cheap bic pen Carmine Red, Light Blue and Blue Col Erase that I switched between for this page.  Kinda works since Bishamon is mainly those colours anyways.
Werewolf + ninja = pure awesomesauce of Talbain.
 
My good buddy Dax has been on a chibi kick-and it's infectious.
Once I started I couldn't stop-maybe they remind me of the old flour sack 
of Sheridan animation assignments back in the day?
Here's Viper in Chibi and Kawaii styles
"kawaii: An adjective in Japanese meaning " pretty; cute; lovely; charming; dear; darling; pet" It's stem is two kanji meaning "can love". It is commonly used by anime and manga fans."
(I didn't know this until a Deviant artist commented on my page)


fun stuff

cheers!
