The Dark Octopussycat Returns

Octopussycat, as a kitten, showed some psychokinetic powers and was taken by the government to be groomed as an assassin. Later, through the help of one of the scientists working on the project, she escaped. After exacting her revenge on those who created her, she became a vigilante in the streets of Zoopolis. This led to a series of run ins with World Wildlife Federation of Justice members such as Go-Rilla and Shaolin Monkey. Eventually they convinced her to join the team.

Powers: limited telekinesis and fear projection. Camouflage cloak. Ninja-oriented skills and octopus-related gadgets.

Since I started my new job at Atomic Cartoons I haven’t done any artwork that isn’t for them. So after work today I decided to do a sketch on the cinteq tablet I use there. Here it is – a post-apocalyptic warrior.

World Wildlife Federation of Justice: Mach Turtle

Partially inspired by Cecil Turtle of Warner Bros cartoon fame, Mach Turtle not only is fast, but he flies…like a jet! His jet stuff pops out of compartments in his shell, of course.

This is the first draft. I’m actually not great at drawing the mechanical techno-military stuff so I’m hoping to make him cooler looking in the next iteration.

What happens when you cross a troglodyte with a morlock? You get a morglodyte of course. Watch out for them in the post-apocalyptic wasteland!

Fungi #20

Thought I’d mention that I just got my contributor copy of the newest issue of Fungi magazine, now available for sale. My contribution is a single illustration of the Aztec death god Mictlantecutli that I did years ago, but apparently it still holds up!

Fungi, the Magazine of Fantasy and Weird Fiction is celebrating 25 years of intermittent publication with a spectacular issue #20 that is chock full of the wide ranging.
