HEY HOWDY HEY ALL YOU MAK ATTACKERS!
Guess what time it is?
Can't guess? well I'll give you a hint: it ain't porkchop salad time!

NO SIR! It's time for another hearty helping of sketches, by gum!

 This one's out of order, but it's the return of me drawing grotesque stuff. I imagine that this is some terrible Djinn, who torments whoever frees him from his lamp/jar/whatever

 cartoony bimbo princess and nasty, nasty looking mouths.

 Oh, this is cool. Some French archeologists found this idol of what they believe to be the earth mother from paleolithic times. I drew what the idol basically looked like, but added the tendril arms and the neon green tubing design.

 Heard of Jerry Robinson's passing. He created such a wonderful character with the joker that I thought about doing a tribute piece for him. Sadly, my schedule has not allowed me to work on it.

 More of the singing lady.

 These two are designs for a character I like to call "Owl Girl". she's borrowing heavily off the batgirl archetype, but I'm making her a comic book character in my "Devil on my Shoulder" strips. I think she'll be fun. Trying to imitate Bruce Timm's style a bit with her design.

 New singing lady! discovered a russian metal band called "Silvercast" a month ago and have been enjoying they're female vocals very much! (despite the fact that I don't understand Russian whatsoever)

 Scary scarred lady. I imagine she's like some evil high-priestess, who's gone through the ultimate sacrifice of her humanity in order to become the perfect servant to her god.

More GROSS Stuff! eh, trying to just draw one thing, then it all spiraled out of control with fangs and monsters and demons and gargoyles and shit. I think it could make a nice watercolor painting...

All right boys and girls, my dinner's burning in the oven, so I should probably douse it and order a pizza.
'Til next time-

AUDIOS!

Sketch upload for 1/13

Greetings ALL! It's Friday the 13th! and what better way to end this frightful day than with some Atrocious Artwork? THERE IS NO BETTER WAY! STRAP IN, KIDDIES! 

 More of this girl. I like drawing her. I make no excuses.

 GWEN! from my comic strip, Devil on my Shoulder! http://the-mak-attack.tumblr.com/tagged/devil-on-my-shoulder

 Gwen, Satan, and other cast members! I can't wait do some stories with 'em!

 My rendition of Killer Croc, one of my favorite Batman villains.

 Sketches of Stephanie Brown, the Spoiler! I actually took a class with one of Stephanie's creators, Tom Lyle. He's pretty cool. Other people on this page include the penguin and the mutant leader from the Dark Knight Returns Graphic Novel

 Character sketches of Spoiler's father, the Cluemaster, and Tempus Fugate, the Clock King.

 Some sketches of Clue Master and his thugs. I've been playing a lot of Batman: Arkham City, so was inspired to create a more urban and gritty feel for the thugs.


                                                     

 sketches of a character I'm developing for my Devil on my Shoulder strips. Someone else besides Gwen who can see Satan.

 Something artsy. I wanted to play with my markers and do some coloring.

THAT'S ALL FOR THIS EDITION!
TUNE IN NEXT TIME, BOYS AND GIRLS!

Sketch upload for 1/11

MORE SKETCHES!

 I like drawing this lady whenever I listen to the band Sirenia. Don't know why. At this point, I'm not going to question it.

 It's time to get it on like DONKEY KONG!

 DK's archnemesis- King K. Rool and DK's girl Pauline from the first Donkey Kong game.

 I was realizing that I was having a little difficulty drawing pauline, so I set out to draw some more ladies. Practice makes perfect, but it's also fun!

 More Adventure Time fan art. The Ice Queen.

 I think at this time I was taking my Environments and props class, so I was trying to draw more cars for practice. I like the rat-rodder stuff. I especially like the bottom one, I ought to do a colored version of that.

 uh...this page is just random crap thrown together....

 GIGAN! may favorite Godzilla Foe

 Colored sketches. Just goofing off from school work.

 More random sketches. I hate how that lady looks at the top, it's like she's got a fish face. The skull 'n flowers composition looks good, tho.

More of Sirenia listening whilst I sketch. I'm pretty sure I draw these to practice emotion and posture and how the mouth looks when it's open and making various sounds. At least that's how I'd like to rationalize it.

ANYWAY, that's it from me!
I'll see y'all in the peanut gallery next time!

Sketch upload for 1/10

Howdy kids! It's your old pal Uncle MAK with another juicy sketch upload! ...eh, maybe not juicy. They're from the last quarter of 2011...STILL, time to show you chumps what I've been holding out on!

 Yeah, I dunno. I drew these guys after I hadn't sketched in a while. Pretty sure I just wanted to draw something nasty and then draw a caveman. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

 This one has a little backstory to it: around the summer of '08, I came up with this awesome name for a Metal Band called "Zombie Priest". As I went digging through old sketchbooks I found the original sketch and thought "Huh, I could make that WAAAAYYY uglier than it is now!" And so I did. The babe at the bottom of the page is an evil nun that'd be the band's groupie. Inspired by the Battle Nuns of Brutal Legend \m/

 Random crap, mainly focusing on the "Darkness Inside Us All..." I oughta copyright that and make it a clothing brand. I'm sure the angsty Teens would EAT IT UP

 More Adventure Time Sketchy-fan art. Yes, I love the gender bender episode, I covered this already. I think I was planning on doing some fan art and uploading it while gushing my feelings about the episode to the adventure time confessions tumblr. Didn't happen, tho. oh well.

 The bottom is a crappy, crappy, CRAPPY environment I tried to make...the top is an AWESOME fanged mouth with vorpal poetry. It cuts you like a cold knife.

 ORKS! one a bad cartoon and the other somewhat realistic.NEXT!

 More environment tryouts. I think kickass Skull Mountain is where I'll take my next vacation. Lots of open fields with surrounding woods ideal for painting. The local tavern makes their own spirits. And let's not forget the Undead Heavy Metal Band that plays all weekend long!

 more environment, plus a freaky monster at the bottom of the page. I think I draw those monsters cause they make me feel happy inside.

 Cartoon Boxers, re-invisioned tattoo design, and the queen of clubs...and tits. Why does everyone ignore the queen of clubs? they always tart up the queen of hearts and spades and diamonds...clubs need love, too...

This is cool. I was trying to make a monster that had the properties of a LAVA LAMP. It's teeth that has no definite form and talks in a horrible tone.

There's me, creating the Voice of Brutality out of nothing. and then some girl sketch, cause you always need to practice drawing pretty girls.

AND THAT'S IT FROM ME!
Tune in next time when we assault you again with things that should never have been thought of or conceived.

First update of the new year!

HOLE-EEE-SHIT I meant to update this thing two weeks ago.
In my defense, I got sick after christmas and didn't feel like doing nothing, and last week I was out of town for short excursions to Oklahoma City and Tulsa for family fun.

ANYWAYS, let's get to what y'all are here for: Artwork of what I did for my family this Xmas (if you're not here for that, tough shit. finish reading this post, sucker)

Here's the first one: the wedding Illustration for my brother and sister-in-law, Storm Daley and Kelly Carafiol.

 This one is for my mom: I've done an angel for her everytime I've done a holiday Illustration for her. The birds represent her kids (me, Hannah and Ian). I choose sparrows since they're tiny frames make a nice contrast to the elegant and giant swan wings I give the angel.

 This one was done for my dad and step-mother, Scott Kephart and Kim Hobbs Kephart. Out on their back patio, enjoying each others company on a summer night with the fireflies dancing around.

This watercolor illustration was commissioned by my uncle and given to my dad for xmas. It's a depiction of my father at his job- debugging crap for NVidia. I was told this is an apt expression of his at certain moments of the day.


that's it for this installment of my Atrocious Artwork blog! I'll be updating daily this week in order to clear out all the files in my sketchbook folder so I can wring in the new year with new sketches!


CHOW FOR NOW, KIDDOS!

Merry Christmas

I'll upload art after I've given everyone their christmas gifts.

'til then, have a happy holidays, guys.


Ho fucking Ho

MAK

Sketch upload for 12/15

Hey! I uploaded in less than a week! Good for me!

 Uh...Geez, I dunno what I was thinking when I drew this...oh, wait, yes I do, I was trying out new designs for dragons in a highly stylized manner.

 color, the Ugly Hed comix mascot...

 and the pretty blonde dame that all the cartoon monsters lust after.
Kinda like Holly Wood from "Cool World"...except with more hair...

 Random sketch page.
Confession Time: I'm a fan of that Adventure Time episode where the characters are genderbent.
The lady in the rabbit hat is the lead male as a girl.
It's a weird cartoon, don't ask me about it, mom...

 Monsters, Monsters,Monsters,Monsters....

 Playing with inks, colors, and monsters. Nothing too spectacular about this page, although I turned the vampire soul thing into a full blown water-color illustration: http://the-mak-attack.tumblr.com/post/11972376643/vampire-soul

 For some reason I draw this woman singing when I listen to the Metal Band "Sirenia". It's got beautiful female vocals, and awesome guitars.

I came up with a concept about the Death Chicken: The cock that'll fuck you up!
...along with boxing gloves made from Demon and Dragon Heads...

Huh, that's it?
I thought I'd have more to say.
Guess not!

LATER!
