king of the vulture people

i'm guessing cnn is still trying to think of the most tactful way possible of firing a well-known, experienced, trusted reporter just for becoming a crazy old man.

it's larry king, for this month's wittygraphy contest. the real challenge here was to come up with something that didn't look just like a hundred of the other entries. no offense meant to the other artists, there are a lot of really good entries. but it's honestly hard to tell a lot of them apart. there are a bunch of them that all from the same reference photo, all done with photorealistic rendering. i wanted to think of a more unique approach. so i went with this 3/4 angle and tried for a more cartoonish render.

losty-lost-lost

malcolm david kelley as walt:


nestor carbonell as richard (those of you who aren't "lost" fans but are still geeks may recognize him better as the mayor from "the dark knight" or batmanuel from the live action version of "the tick"):

what the--- that guys' not from "lost"!

harry shearer, for this week's "caricaturama showdown 3000" competition.

eeexcellent...

hey, look! LOST!

okay, some changes:

first, i took the suggestions offered on a couple of the message boards i frequent, on juliet, and made some minor changes of my own, and i think they really saved the caricature, so thanks for the help, guys.



i also took some advice on jacob, and i'm still not sure. why am i having such a hard time with this guy?!



and finally, my sister, who goes in for all that romantic stuff, said that the only thing wrong with my drawing of desmond was that he wasn't with penny (sonya walger), so here's an update on him:

more lost caricatures (by which i mean not that the caricatures were ever lost, but rather... well, you probably get it.

elizabeth mitchell as juliet (once gain, after multiple attempts, this is the closest i could come, but i'm still not completely satisfied with it. i can't figure out what's not right about it, and would appreciate any input):



mark pellegrino as jacob (once gain, after multiple attempts, this is the closest i could come, but i'm still not completely satisfied with it. i can't figure out what's not right about it, and would appreciate any input):



and harold perrineau as michael (this one, if i may say so, i am fully satisfied with):

blue. period.

i've had this idea in my brain for at least a year now, and have just recently discovered another internet caricature contest that gave me an excuse to put it down. caricaturama showdown 3000 on facebook is a weekly ([i]weekly![/i]) caricature contest. this week, the subject is pablo picasso. i do plan on doing this up as a finished piece, hopefully this summer, but in the meantime, here's the digital sketch:
