It’s Marty! I’m probably one of those rare folks who actually loves the Madagascar films, including the character designs. Since I fail at drawing my favorite character, King Julian, I took a stab at Marty instead and was pleasantly surprised to find that he was a blast to draw!
I absolutely love your artwork, Mitch. You have advanced in leaps and bounds in your artistic skills!
I have to say - I’m pretty much in love with Jester. Dang, I wish I could make up a character that cool! I immediately picked up the correlation between him and the Joker when I saw him.
And you’re not the only Madagascar fan… I am usually doubled over laughing whenever I watch that movie, and my favorite characters are definitely the penguins and King Julian. Your renditions of Marty are so well-drawn. Your unique style always comes through in your artwork. Keep working at it - I’m always anxious to see what you’re going to draw next!!!
red - Man, you guys are so sweet. Thank you very much for all of the nice compliments. I sincerely appreciate them.
You too?
Curse me for falling in love with my own character, but I can’t draw the Joker yet, sooo… (heh)
I’m glad I’m not the only Madagascar fan! The gags are quite humorous and, yep, the penguins and the lemurs are hilarious. (I watched the second installation of the film for King Julian alone.)
Don’t apologize, I mean, I have a whole bunch of characters that I’ve made up that I just can’t get over because I think they’re so amazing (no pride here, haha). I hope you draw some more sketches of him - I love the way you draw rats, by the way.
The Star Swordsman - If all goes well, I’ll be posting up some life drawings next. I plan to go on an excursion to a local shopping district in my area next Monday so as I may sketch some children at a playground there. Artistically, drawing humans is not one of my strong points, but I may as well practice early.
Hannahmation - Actually, I haven’t even given it to him yet. (I’m late like that when it comes to birthdays, unfortunately.) I’m sure he’ll like it, though! (snigger)
My apologies for the double post, but I thought that you guys might like to see some of my sister’s sketches. She tends to go through occasional infatuations concerning various cartoon characters, and the Scarecrow from the Batman: The Animated Series television show is the latest on her list of favorites.
The first sketch is her depiction/interpretation of the Scarecrow as a fox, and the second is a close-up shot of the same character. (She used a reference for the latter of the two sketches.)
I’m sorry that the images are so freakin’ huge, by the way. I may size them down later.
