Jars is back from vacation

Guess who's back from vacation!? THIS GUYYY!! Had a bunch of fun during my vacation, got the chance to go the beach, had some good food, hang out with family, and it felt great to get out of the house (and away from the internet for the most part haha)

Don't got much to show off other than a few photos I took, though they are some pretty snazzy photographs ;)

Anyhow.. things should be back to normal, kinda did loose the drive to draw so I need to get back into the mood again lol

Jars is going on vacation

Hey everyone, just letting you all know that I'm gonna be busy for the rest of the week, not working or anything but I'm going on... VACATION!! (With family) So I'm probably going to be unable to do work on stuff like Tobi the Alien, as I stated in the previous blog post. This'll also mean that I won't be as active online as I normally am. I'll be sure to share some cool photos during my time once I get back! That's all I really need to say. See you Sunday!

Collection of Tobi's

So I probably won't be able to work on the next Tobi comic this week (not that I have a proper idea for a comic to begin with) I'll explain why I'm unable to work on the next comic in tomorrow's blog post. So instead.. I'll share these doodles of the green goober I drew a few days ago but only came back to today, consisting of a little model sheet and two seasonal outfits, I might turn the two into holiday cards, especially the Christmas one.

Quick NiGHTS Sketch

I've been getting back into NiGHTS into Dreams recently after occasionally playing the steam version of the first game (which is unfortunately now delisted, thanks Sega >:P). So I decided to sketch up NiGHTS along with coloring most of their outfit and the red gem on their chest.

Tobi #8 "Cooper"

Finally finished the next Tobi comic! And with a new friend for the green dude too, Cooper! Nothing too too special, but it felt nice coming back to him and finally bringing Cooper into the comic.

Sketches! (3/?)

Been a while since I've done one of theses huh? Well I've been sketching a ton in my sketchbook again, so I thought I share a few of them here again, some are from August and early this month and one of them features two characters of mine I haven't mentioned on here yet (oops), named Fynn and Iris!

I'm really proud of the computers I drew, the giant robot isn't rly my favorite out of all of these, mostly because it looks too much like a buff guy in armor. That and huge giant detaled robots like those you'd see in Gundam, Evangelion, Transformers, etc. aren't really my forte ^^; (I dunno how they make them look good!)

 ~MrJrC 

Quick Tobi Animation Test

Still on that animation grind so I thought I'd animate one of my characters, and who else but Tobi! I've always wanted to animate the little guy so what better time to do it than now. I was gonna fully outline it but I decided to keep it the sketch layer

~MrJrC
 

The Traditonal Bouncing Ball Animation Test

Long title I know, but I can't really describe this little animation test as anything but. Anyhow, I've been meaning to get back in the swing of animating, so I thought I'd start small with the obvious thing, a bouncing ball with some squash and stretch. Mostly made after rewatching Alan Becker's 12 Principles of Animation video series.

Clover in some New Outfits

Something I have missed doing for quite a while, drawing my cast of characters in different fits! And who better than to start with this come back is Clover! I've mostly been wanting to do this again since i've been getting into Bleach by Tite Kubo. He always drew the cast of that manga in casual outfits and it made me wanna do that again myself. One thing I decided to do for this piece and other art pieces I might impliment in the future is to make the base outline (The one before I add the bold outline) a bit thinner than how I usually do the outline.

~MrJrC

Ricky Practice doodles

I've been thinking about my grumpy lil (yet chubby) raccoon dude Ricky! Mostly after me and a friend of mine talked about how he should sound like (I said he should sound like Vic Dibitetto). So I decided to doodle two drawings of Ricky along with me somewhat practicing the Line of Action, might dedicate a full sheet of paper too the Line of Action just for the extra practice haha.

Tobi Tidbit #1

Hey everybody! I'm currently a bit under the weather and I don't really have the motivation to work on Tobi the Alien. So Instead I'd share a bit of a fun fact about the green goober. Did you know that Tobi wasn't originally meant to be green? Yup! When I was creating him I originally wanted to make him Orange, mostly to match with the peach skin tone on his face and belly. I also wanted to give him the cartoony White gloves but I thought the more Chippendale white cuffs would work better. 

However I didn't really like the orange look, and went for green instead. A very common color for Aliens. Another thing I was gonna give him were nostrils but it made him look like a deformed Yoshi so I scrapped it. Thus the Tobi we know and love was born! And who knows? Maybe orange Tobi will make a come back! (Yeah right)

~MrJrC 

Dapper Wabbit

I haven't drawn my Rabbit sona JC in a while, mostly due to me being busy with other things and him not being in my mind for a while. So I decided to draw him in something I haven't drawn him in a while, a fancy tux and hat!

 ~MrJrC

See, Speak, and Hear No Evil.

Sorta experimented with how I wanted to do the outline, really proud of it! I was gonna use Tobi but I felt like using my little robot persona, Robo-Jars! (Think of him as my very own Tori-Bot). If I feel like it, I might make the little Robo-Jars head I made for it my blogspot Icon ^^

~MrJrC

Big The Cat!

It's been a while since I've last drawn one of (and plenty of many) my favorite Sonic characters, Big! He's a pretty dopey feline that I have a soft spot for, I mean anything purple will win me over haha. plus he always stood out since he doesn't look like how a Sonic character would look like. I sorta head canon him to be a stoner, like how people think Shaggy from Scooby Doo is one.

 ~MrJrC

Jars T. Wulf, a semi brief history of my first Fursona

So if you know me, one of the first avatars that I have used to have online (besides my self) was a little wolf character, named Jars (one of my internet nicknames). I've had him for quite a while and he became the main host of my little review series on Youtube! (a series I still need to bring back, maybe when I decide to buy a new microphone) at the time he looked like this. (This isn't the first design, the closest one is probably this one)

a design that I'm frankly not proud of in retrospect (not just because the art is ass lol), you can tell I had no clue how to distinguish a wolf from a fox. I did try to give him a bit of a bit of a redesign back in May but that also looked a bit meh to me, It did introduce a part of him that I'm really proud I decided to keep, The baggy pants, heavily inspired by how artist, Stephen Silver draws him

But alas, it was not meant to be. as he would once again get sent into obscurity. Until yesterday, when at first I was thinking of just retiring the wolf lad only for me to get  a bright idea, giving him a new look and somewhat new clothes, making him look more like a sorta rubberhose/toony wolf than he did prior.

(Also due to me being so obsessed with Kingdom Hearts I drew a little doodle of what Mr.Wulf's get up would be, don't ask me to draw a Keyblade for him haha)

And because I felt like it, I opened up MS Paint and doodled two colored drawings to get his new palette down.

and that's Jars T. Wulf's history! not sure when I'll truly bring him back, but I'm at least proud I came up with a design that fits with my current vision ^^

Quick Atem Sketch

First day of school started today and I wasn't in a huge drawing mood today, I would've gotten more stuff done but I wanted to focus more on school work (or lack their of), But I did decide to sketch out a pretty ominous doodle of Yami Yugi/Atem. Really proud of how this came out, I was gonna color it but I thought it would look better without it.

 ~MrJrC

Late Night Drawpile

Something I love to do with friends is to draw in a application called Drawpile! (It's basically an application where everyone draws on one canvas). I did this with a few friends of mine, Gabby, Serg, Issac, Jaden, and Alex! Mostly containing us drawing Serg's webseries StingyCrew, Ourselves, some fanart and like any online artist some inside jokes we shared among ourselves. You might spot some familiar faces ;)

~MrJrC
 

Amiga Squirrel

I've been watching a bunch of Eric W. Schwartz's animations, which made me wanna draw his squrriel girl Amy! I did the sketch last night, but never decided to finish it until Today.

 ~MrJrC

Guntz!

Slowly becoming a fan of the Klonoa franchise, since I'm already a Sonic fan lol and in particular I'm becoming a fan of Guntz! the outfit was inspired by a piece of concept art for the game Klonoa Heroes.

 ~MrJrC

Collection of Yugi's (and one Atem)

Really doing a lot of collection doodles aren't I haha, it's been a while since I've drawn Yugi/Atem, and I've been meaning to practice drawing his hair more. these were drawn in MS Paint by the way, it explains why it looks a lot more pixelated than my normal work (aka the ones drawn in Flash)

 ~MrJrC

Collection of Khan's

Wanted to practice drawing my monkey dude tonight so I hoped on Flash CS5.5 and drew a couple of Khan's (Flash crashed on me and I didn't feel like redoing the bottom right one, so that's why it's unfinished)

 ~MrJrC

Regarding Tobi Fan Comics.

This whole idea started when a member of my discord server asked if he could turn one of my scripts related to the Tobi comics into their very own fan comic, and it made me think about it making me decide.. screw it! why not? I will allow fan-comics of Tobi the Alien to be made by you lovely folks! However I'm going to have to set some ground rules

1. All things added by you will not be canon to the general Tobi comic (by that I mean the comics I make myself), unless your ideas are really good and I want to use them

2. Artwork must have a slight ounce of quality to them, meaning no scribbles!

3. No comic should be NSFW in any shape or form, I'll allow suggestive jokes at the most, but that's it anything above that will not be accepted (NO AI EITHER YOU STINKIN' CHEATERS!!)

4. Every fan comic needs to go through me before I decide to approve it and upload it to ComicFury/My Blog 

5. Have Fun! Get Creative! 

I haven't decided on a proper name for it but if I had to it'll be called something like Tobi Specials or maybe something else

 ~MrJrC 

Tobi #7 "Golfing"

Tobi goes golfing! ...That's it, that's the comic.. you can go home now :/

  

Read the rest on comic fury!

Quick Kai Sketch

A friend of mine's own samurai ocs reminded me of my own, someone who I haven't drawn in a while.. Kai! so I drew him leaping into battle

 ~MrJrC

Doodles of the Koopa King!

Today is Bowser Day! a day dedicated to the notorious Koopa King himself! I have a full piece planned for it (If I ever decide to make it today lmao) but for practice I wanted to try and draw Bowser to make sure I got his design down in my style, especially the black eyelines ;)

 ~MrJrC

Tobi and Cooper

I decided to give Tobi something that every cartoon superstar has, a wacky pet sidekick, but instead of something like a Dog, Cat, or Goldfish, I decided to give him.. a Tasmanian Devil! and gave him the name of Cooper, I tried my best not to make him too much like another more well known Tasmanian Devil.. *wink wink*

~MrJrC
 

Doogal Comic

This is based off of when me and a few of my friends decided to watch the movie Doogal, purely for shits and giggles one of them (the rat lady) Imani really wanted to after I joked about doing so. It was a big mistake. Maybe i'll watch it again out of morbid curiosity or if I get pressured to by Imani (STOP ASKING ME YOU SHE-DEMON!!!!!)

~MrJrC
 

The Piece to His Puzzle

It's been a hot minute since I've drawn something Yu-Gi-Oh related, So I felt like drawing Yugi himself with Atem peeping out from his right eye, getting used to drawing something Yu-Gi-Oh related again was a bit of a gamble since again I haven't drawn much from YGO in a while, but I am proud of the final result... (I do with Atem's eye was bigger to match Yugi's though.)

~MrJrC

 

Sonic and Tails Doodles

 It's been a while since I've drawn Sonic and especially Tails, so I felt like sketching out some doodles of the duo (I should really use a scanner or be in a better area in order to take photos of my sketches.)

~MrJrC

Robo-Girl Concept art

No Robo-Girl isn't her actual name, her real name is Boa! I've been wanting to redesign an old character of mine for a while, and finally got around to it, decided to make her more human than replicating how I used to draw Robots (aka how I drew my robot persona)

~MrJrC
 

Happy Birthday PuzzylPiece!

Today is my friend PuzzylPiece/Puz's birthday so I wanted to do something special for 'em so I decided to reference the Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix box art, but replaced the KH/Mickey Mouse cast with some of Puz's creatures, Really proud of how this came out! and I'm glad Puz loved it ^^

~MrJrC

Doodle of Link

So earlier today I saw a tweet showing off some cool concept art of Link from A Link to The Past, and felt like redrawing one of the sketches, that being Link lounging on some rocks tired. Simple but I really like how this came out, I kinda miss Link's pointy nose honestly.

 ~MrJrC

Tobi Politely Sitting

Wanted to draw Tobi again after not drawing him for a while (I'm busy working on a review for my YouTube Channel) So I wanted to try drawing him but a bit more.. different, I've been sorta changing the way I handle the outlines which explains why the thicker outlines blended in, along with making his shoes and bowtie a deeper shade of blue, to contrast with the black outline :D

The pose is from this piece of Sonic the Hedgehog stock art

 ~MrJrC

Sketches of Zero

 If there's one thing I've been meaning to draw, It would be something Mega Man related, last time I drew something from that franchise was in May, mostly in part of an Art Trade with a friend. So I felt like drawing a particular favorite of mine, Zero! I haven't played any of the Mega Man X games in a while (I blame you Kingdom Hearts.) I decided to go for a limited palette, I was gonna use just red but I felt like using sky blue and light green.

~MrJrC
 

Collection of Kris

[Originally drawn on July 17th] I'm not the biggest Deltarune fan but I do have a sorta soft spot for it, and I know a few friends of mine who like the game, so I decided to draw a couple doodles of the main character Kris! I've been meaning to draw them (and most of the cast) for a while, plus I have a friend who looks like Kris so I wanted to draw this just to mess with them ;)

~MrJrC
 

Khan enjoying some rice

 Haven't animated in a while, so I made a quick little animation of my monkey dude Khan having some rice after some training with Kai, Like most shonen protags! Animation's mostly based off of a segment from the opening of the 70's anime The Gutsy Frog, animated by Tokyo Movie Shinsha (aka TMS) One of my favorite Japanese Animation studios, next to Gainax/Trigger of course ;) Because the animation is short, I decided to make it a GIF instead of an MP4

~MrJrC

Charlie the Cat

So earlier today I was looking at my catalog of original characters and noticed one of them needed some freshening up, specifically my old cat character Charlie! Mostly after I sketch up a quick sketch of Her with Evan (her boyfriend and a friend's own character)

I used to have a comic staring her but I kinda decided to scrap it once I started work on Tobi the Alien, I'm not sure when I'll get back into making more whenever I probably get a second writer to help me with it (I'm not the best at writing women ^^;)

 ~MrJrC

Flaming Monkey

It's been a while since I've drawn Khan's super form so I drew up a quick sketch of him staring you down >:) Also because I haven't colored any of my sketches I decided to use only really one color (red) for his fur and scarf.

~MrJrC
 

Art Fight Day 5 and 6

ATOM: DAMAGED REDUX

So I've been browsing a few of my older art pieces I've posted on my Newgrounds (which you can find here ;)) and found an old piece of Astro Boy damaged after a serious battle, which I'm still very proud of.. but I can do better haha so for comparison sake..

 

Here's the original from last year...

 

 AND HERE'S THE NEW AND IMPROVED FROM TODAY!!

Lemme know which one is better ;)

 

 ~MrJrC 

Tobi #6

Welcome back Tobi! It's almost like you never left.. oh yeah hi Lizzie. Had a ton of fun experimenting with this comic, you can kinda tell with the 8th panel haha, And I'm glad I finally got around to making a new comic after not making one for a while (Blame burnout and me getting constantly distracted) 

Be sure to read the rest on comicfury!
