The Man from E.G.G.

A place to put my time-wasting doodles, based upon the exercises outlined in the "How To Draw Animated Cartoons" book by Preston Blair.

What's A Western Part Two

 I've gone back and added a bunch of black to the backgrounds of page two:

So much black!
Then, there's more on page 3.  In contrast, I decided to try "spotting the blacks" to make things "pop" against the white background.  Only partially done and only partially successful:

Welcome to the void

I really should plan my page and panel compositions better. Maybe page four should have some actual backgrounds other than a horizontal line?  I wonder if they ever produced any comic books for the HOME MOVIES series?

The Good, The Bad, And The....Uhhhhh What's a Western?



 Mariel here. I got s couple slots from a "Western Style" episode for my fan series. The "Man From E.G.G." himself will post some more from his sketchbook later. 

OK, here's page two:


Melissa has decided to be neither "Dance Hall Girl" or "School Marm!"

Not sure what comes next, though..

More Home Movies Doodles

Following my last post, here are some more Home Movies drawings from my dad 

A drawing of Shannon the Bully (my favorite character btw)

Some Drawings of Brendon

Up next is a comic strip for a fan made series of mine called "Home Movies REVAMPED" on YouTube.


NOTE: These are from May 2020 and both of our designs for the characters have since improved. 


Craig, here: I think I've gotten somewhat better at doing these characters. And then they mutated into "my" versions of them.

Here's the gala Thanksgiving special Mariel & I collaborated on:

Daddy-Daughter Doodles: Home Movies

 

So I got into this Adult Swim show known as "Home Movies" about a year ago. During this time my dad and I have spammed our notebooks with drawings of the characters. 


Above is a Image my dad drew of the characters Brendon, Jason, and Melissa moving on from the musty old cassette tape cameras and onto smartphone devices.

I have more that I will try to fit on another post because this site now doesn't like to cooperate with me ^^;

The POTENTIAL Return of Daddy-Daughter Draws??????

HELOOOOOOOOOOOO, Internet! Jeebus has it been a long 12 years.

Now I bet those who actually would watch this page are thinking, "Hey.... This doesn't sound like Craig...." 

Well my fellow beings..... that's because you're WRONG! 


If you could PROBABLY guess, I'm Craig's daughter, Mariel. Yes the same Mariel from the dance class fiasco, yes the same Mariel who posted goofy drawings all these years ago, YES THE SAME MARIEL WHO EXISTED THIS ENTIRE TIME! 

As you could probably tell, I'm a lot older now and not the same silly 6 year old I was back when my dad and I last posted. I'm just starting 12th grade this coming August or September (I could care less....) I've committed practically 99% of my day to my YouTube channel amongst other social media platforms. 

So just a few mins ago, while talking to my dad, I said "Hey. Maybe we should start a new blog and post random stuff together?" and we kind of chatted about it for a bit while I was scrolling through the countless memories and posts on this blog while bawling with laughter.

To put it short, Daddy-Daughter draws will likely be making a return as we don't have a slow and Shi- well....you get it....

To end things off on a good note, I'm happy to say that aside from doing scripting and goofing off with my online buddies, my dad and I can post drawings and maybe some other things on here! 

Hope you can join us for the ride -Mariel
