New Character Expressions

New Character Expressions published on

Lake Tuberville is about to meet a new BugPudding cast member. He is an opinionated earth worm appropriately named Splunker. He should be a lot of fun for me to draw. Like all of my characters I like to start to get to know them by doing a series of facial expressions. I’ve been working on Splunker for a while and I’m starting to get more comfortable with this character.

This expression model sheet gives me the opportunity to explore the character through a range of emotions and to let him come to life.

Heroes Con 2010 Promotion

Heroes Con 2010 Promotion published on

Unfortunately due to other commitments, I was not able to attend Heroes Con in Charlotte N.C. this year. It’s one of my favorite conventions and I hope to be there in person next year. But thanks to some good friends like Angela and Nick Mizgala of  ThinkWeasel, BugPudding was able to be there in the form of our 2010 Promo Card.

Just for fun, I tweeted during the convention that anyone who would have their photo taken holding the Promo Card and post the picture to Twitter would receive a special art prize.

The winners are John and Pat Nacinovich. Thanks for being such good sports and posing in and posting this picture. Your special BugPudding Art Prize will soon be in the mail.

Hang on to those Promo Cards because you never know when I’ll have an impromptu contest and you too can win free art work.
