Scotty Newton - All Round Entertainer

History           January 31st, 1996 was the date that Dragonball Z disappeared from TV screens, leaving fans with a Spirit Bomb hole in their hearts that the ill-received, semi-sequel series Dragonball GT and its pink monkey shenanigans couldn't fill.  With the franchise on the rise in popularity thanks to the hugely successful lines of video games, as well as re runs of the show,  two new short specials were created, 2008's Yo! Son Goku and His Friends Return! and 2012's Episode of Bardock , although neither reached the highs or the audiences of the series. Dragonball is better when stretched out over a long series as it's the only way to get its ludicrously epic scales across. For the 25th anniversary came Dragonball Kai , a 'revised', remastered and recut version of Dragonball Z , cutting out on filler and giving us glorious HD, but no new content or sagas. After seeing the success of Kai, Dragonball Z: Battle of Gods the movie was rel...

This is it folks! Here's the entries to Round 1 of the 4th Character Battle Royale Tournament! A quick recap on how it works.... Every artist picks ONE character. This character stays with them. They are paired up against another artist and their character. Each artist must show a battle between the 2 characters. If you look at my blog post from about 2 entries ago, you'll see that I chose Goku from Dragonall and my opponent chose Cucumber from Cucumber Quest. Well my opponent from what I can tell is a very experienced comic artist with loooooads of experience in full colour comic strips and a day job (ithink in animation) that involves drawing every day. I needed to up my game. What do you think? Click to view full size Here's what my opponent delivered Wow those are some serious colours and such a quirky style going in there. I'll updated with the results, but at the moment I'm 24-11 up in votes :)

So Round 1 of my latest art competition has been drawn up. The 4th Character Battle Royale, hosted over at Outcast Studios The Competition: Every artist picks one character and said character stays with them for the duration of the tournament. I chose Goku from Dragonball Z. Goku in standard and Super Saiyan forms Each artist is then paired up against someone else and both have to draw a fictional fight between their 2 characters. We had around 50 artists enter this time, the biggest ever in a CBR tournament! Round 1: I was drawn up against animatrix1490 who had chosen Cucumber from Cucumber Quest, a webcomic I think. Cucumber This artist has an extremely impressive portfolio of work and this'll sure be one heck of a fight! Just how do you make one of the most powerful warriors in the universe, capable of levelling planets and supernatural abilities, fight a little bunny rabbit?! Well I had 6 overall ideas and sketched them all up (I'll post them ...

Project 250 is my goal to do 250 daily sketch challenges this year, at least. Time to improve by doing, not talking about it. Goal is to get 5 of Outcast Studios' DSCs per week with drawings taking anywhere between 10 mins and an hour a day, Monday to Friday. Also I'm going to mix things up with digital/traditional, full bodies/headshots, color/black and white. If I can do more, this will become PROJECT 300. This is what I do and this is where it starts. Enjoy, week 2 will be up soon. Monday Spider-man Tuesday Deathlocket Wednesday Dr. Lazarus Thursday Po Friday Batmobile Already Week 2's looking better. Remember to enquire about any commissions, of any type of art/media.

A stunningly, captivatingly innovative and original new feature for you, my lucky, faithful followers! (Stan Lee eat your heart out!) That's right, from now on you're getting a weekly does of me, each Saturday, summarising my adventurous and crazy exploits. I mean, my weeks are just so exciting that it makes the characters I'm drawing seem boring. As most people who know me personally know that I do a lot more than what I post up and that I haven't been giving the blog as much time as it deserves so your weekly wondrous Super Saturday Round Up will show features that you wouldn't usually be seeing, albeit in a slightly shortened manner. What can you expect in your succulent, stylish and sexy Super Saturday Round Ups? A heads up on anything I'm working on/finished Any quick movie reviews that I don't have time to post in full Anywhere nice I've been What career I'm pursuing that day Competitions (stay tuned) Oh you get the idea, it...

*By the way, this fight is a week or two old and my piece was completed on my old tablet and not my new shiny Intuos!* It's time for the third Character Battle Royale Tournament over at Outcast Studios! The tagline is 'evil shall rise' this time and the theme is villains. No more tag teams, this is every man for himself! The idea is for each participant to choose a villain. They are then teamed up with someone else in a one on one fight to the death. Each artist will draw BOTH characters locked in mortal combat. Pretty much this guy but about 300000x bigger My chosen warrior is..... Galactus , the devourer of worlds! (from Fantastic Four) Why? I just thought it would be interseting to see how everyone would approach a one on one fight when one of the participants is bigger than a planet. So yeah in Round One I got paired off with the consistently great Rachael Wells. She chose Loki (from Thor) meaning both of us would have to draw Galactus vs. Loki ...

So over at Outcast Studios there's a new 30 day drawing challenge on. A new subject each day for a 30 minute drawing.  Today's subject was a sketch of yourself Hated the first one I did so did a second from a couple of old photos Eugh.... but at least this is only day 1
