Phased-plasma rifle in the forty watt range.

My latest project requires me to create a cartoon character out of 'Governator' Arnold Schwarzenegger. So I went out to Target and Best Buy to grab as many cheap Arnold flicks as possible. I was amazed that for $60 I could pick up seven DVDs with a total of eight movies. Gems like 'Kindergarten Cop' were only $5!

This first page was done only with pics found on the internet. Suprisingly the selection of Arnold pics on the web sucks as much as my drawings of them.


These were all based on stills from T2.


This page is all from the T3 behind the scenes features. Notice Arnolds turkey neck.


Hopefully my drawings will improve and I will be able to boil Arnold down to a cartoon character. Tonight I'll be watching 'True Lies' and 'Kindergarten Cop'. Since he's not playing a robot in those films he has more than three expressions... maybe five or six at best.

Cool! Is he going to be animated or is it just an illustration gig? They look great!

This job is pretty much illustration. Elements will be used in an interactive piece. I'll post more details about the job once it's complete. I can't say too much about it until it's out there.

Thanks Aimee! I usually work in quick bursts during the day. I have hard time pacing myself, though I still meet all my deadlines. Glad to link to you!

lol I love ARNOLD! What a cartoon that guy is...I love it when people in Hollywood become SO over exposed and self aware of there personas that they almost become caricatures of them selves in real life. Arnold is a great example of that!

Awesome work!
