And the sourest guest sketch of them all, from my pal Shanth Enjeti!

Shanth is the creator of the comic, Springball as well as a sick concept painter. Check out his new work-in-progress website HERE or his older site HERE. He was recently in town for our once-a-decade-legendary DorkGeekNerdFest. So what better way to cap off his trip than by forcing him to join us in a sketch. Unfortunately for us, he accepted our challenge and showed us firsthand the real definition of "drawing". Dang.

SIX SCOOPS SWEEPSTAKES: First person who comments and figures out our lame "pattern" to how we pick our sketches, gets to choose our next SSS subject!

Six Scoops Sketch: "Nasty Knight"

Here's our suped up-sketches just to make up for all the weeks we've missed. This one has been a long time coming but as you can see, it's been a good way for us to practice on the Cintiqs! I'll admit, there's definitely something about the constraints of raw post-it sketches that I'm sure we'll revisit in the future. But till then, revel with us in our spoiled digital bliss... HOOZAH!

Blogs Your Ego Should Avoid

It's no secret that we constantly surround ourselves with people more talented than us. It stems from our belief that the closer in proximity you are to someone, the more you can steal their mutant powers. Here's a couple of our recent victi - er... friends:

ERIC WIGHT

Pros: Perfects everything that we wish we could draw.
Cons: Every time I visit his blog I have to change my desktop picture.
Creds: Batman Beyond, Buffy: Animated, The O.C., The Escapist

RHODE MONTIJO

Pros: Humility despite the fact that he has the power to destroy you with his skills.
Cons: Rhode is a closet blogger. I only found out about his blog from Jamie's site.
Creds: Cloud Boy, Pablo's Inferno, Happy Tree Friends

(And these guys blog faster than us too...)

A very "Cooly" book

When I'm not working my butt off for all things Ghostbot, I scour the Earth for cool anime items. One such coveted item I got (thanks to my good buddy Chris) is the FLCL storyboard book. It’s got 800+ pages of storyboard goodness by the wild creatives at Gainax.

FLCL has some really wild storytelling, so it’s really interesting to compare the differences between the rough board and the animation. It's a bit hard to find (Chris got mines from Ebay), but definitely worth it for the aspiring board artist.
