Heya! This Is What My Dad Looks Like.

Hey, people! What? You think this monster is what my dad looks like?
Nah, that's just an update of the character I posted last week.


My dad used to have a handlebar mustache. He looks like the guy in the bottom right. His arms may or not look like that. As a sidenote, Kaitlin and I were going through some old photos this week and we saw these guys in a parade with bells on their pants. I thought to myself, "What if there was a warrior who was so tough that he wore bells to announce his arrival- he has no fear of anyone, so why hide?" You can kind of see the bells around the character's waist, but I evidently forgot to flesh them out more. (Also, that weird fake Iron Man in the bottom left. That's pretty freakish)


The guy with the long arms? His arms really are FAR TOO LONG. But it's endearing in a freaky way, isn't it? Also, if you can't read what the wizard in the bottom left is saying, he's saying "Magic is a very magical thing. Very nice."



Yeah I'm outta here. BUT FIRST: A cool thing happened this week. The game "Towerclimb" by Davioware finally release! I was overjoyed to find a cd key in my inbox. They successfully completed the game! I purchased a beta key way back in 2012. I played for 43 minutes today, and want to play more, but school is far too busy. So I'm going to leave it up to all of you to go check it out and pick up a copy. If you like brutally difficult procedurally-generated roguelike-esque platformers with permadeath (a la Spelunky, Vagante, or Catacomb Kids [Vagante and Catacomb Kids are still in development, just a heads up]), give it a shot. It's wicked hard, and super intense! I basically need you to play it in my honor since I have way too much going on. 

Okay, I'm outta here. Have a great week, everyone!

  1. You 3d Brian look-alike is uncanny! Oooooh oh oh. You're talking about the mustache man sketch. Yeah, I guess he could pass for your dad too. Great chob, Zagrag!

    1. I wish you had seen my dad when he had a huge mustache, Kaitlin. It was very impressive, regal, majestic. I'm going to keep working on him this week. I have two art projects I want to work on. I hope I make some progress there.

  2. I had forgotten about that mustache! I used to wax it every morning with beeswax! Back in the day that 'stash was so respected at WordPerfect that my co-workers even had a name for it: "der Schnurrbart"! Sometimes I thought that they respected my 'stash more than me. BTW, I do not think I look like that monster, though sometimes I feel like that inside, especially when I am hungry or when I cannot find Mom's secret stash of dark chocolate.

    1. I didn't know your mustache had a name! A named mustache? What an honor, Father of mine! Does a well-groomed mustache garner more approval than a clean-shaven visage? Is it how you win friends and influence people? And if you look like that when you can't find chocolate, by all means, just eat chocolate all day.

  3. Dang, excellent post! It was thoroughly enjoyed! Each drawing here bests the stuff from your first year of bloggering. Like a terminator against gungans.

    1. Thomas! I'm glad it was a good'n for ya. I'm concerned this week won't match up! But I guess that's art- it's always up and down. And I think that is an apt comparison (I hope it is, anyway)- I want to blow away my old stuff!
