Name: Afrog

This is a perfect incarnation of Layell. Bless you.

Good thing I revamped that avatar some time ago, then. Thanks!

 

[Mova]

Afrog somehow reminds me of Sgt. Frog's first ending song, Afro Sergeant. Anime references aside, I really like how your art style resembles Western cartoons and comics more than the usual anime.

 

[Andrew]

Lol, I just happened to be listening to Bob Marley when I saw your Rastafroggry and Afrog <3

 

[BlankZero]

Bummer your comic is effing legendary status and I didn't even know it was you!

Hit me via PM sometime. I have a fun project for you if you've got the time.

PS it's for Doubles :D

 

[Bummer]

CAP entry, Fire/Water is the concept, and a boiler crap felt appropriate.

Pre-evo with oven mitts.

clean-up on my earlier frogs

You made the front page of imgur (and presumably some subreddit) today. :)

Love your cartoonish art style! <3

 

[Bummer]

Threw together a banner for US West yesterday (and by threw together I mean spend about 5 hours googling muscular men references)

You made the front page of imgur (and presumably some subreddit) today. :)

Super old reply, but yeah, that happens from time to time. I still like that strip, otherwise I just tend to feel embarrassed when my old work is on display.

 

[Pocket]

hooooly shit, Bummer that's one BAMF!

You are too good at this *0*

[MiniArchitect]

I'll never understand how you manage to crank out so many pieces per issue, all while maintaining the same incredible standard of quality and creativity every time. Great job Bummer, I always love seeing your work :)

 

[Cresselia~~]

I love your colouring and jokes a lot!
What a lovely combo!

Please do continue to do more comics~
Both my boyfriend and I are great fans of your comics.

 

[fx]

The thing I love most about your art is that it's so loose in style and yet it displays the idea of your art perfectly!
Not to mention, it ties in well with your fluid coloring and shading.
Wonderful artwork as always, can't wait to see more :]

 

[Bummer]

Please do continue to do more comics~
Both my boyfriend and I are great fans of your comics.

Thank you! The comic has been discontinued some time back, but it's still nice to hear people appreciating my old stuff.

In other news, I've been working on some fakemons, started out as sketches which then lead to fully colored versions with backgrounds and info. Some are based on older creations (two families can be seen above), others are new. Suggestions on names and apperances are welcome, if inspiration strikes you. Octopirate draw heavy inspiration from CAP's Arghonaut, and Jawful was inspired from paintseagull 's latest CAP submission (that one was Poison / Electric).

 

[Stellar]

Crabs:
Stage 1: Bubboil (bubble + boil)
Stage 2: Cansear (Cancer + sear)


Octopus:
Stage 1: Cuttlad (cuttlefish/cutlass + lad)

Shark:
Stage 1: Crookid (crook [hook/scoundrel] + kid, also pun on crooked teeth)

 

[Bummer]

[Bummer]

My two submissions in the PS Daily Draw challenge thus far

Combine a random legendary and a NFE:

Have two random pokes go on a date:

 

[Bummer]

more daily draws

draw a randpoke getting a haircut

draw a new rotom forme from a typical household item

draw Chatot saying something at a bad time

fashion a weapon out of a randpoke (got excadrill)

 

[princessofmusic]

These are all so neat. That Chatot picture took me a second... but I see what you did there. D:<

A Rotom with association towards music is a great Rotom, and I'm resisting the temptation to call this one "Rodio".

 

[Bummer]

did a few things

for the Smog #38

 

[Cerib]

Some good pieces man. :3
Keep up the quality.

 

[Bummer]

last thing I'll make for RU since they've appaently caught up with NU in terms of # matches per month

 

[MiniArchitect]

Love the "RU" built in the background there; that's a pretty clever way to make use of the background space. I'm also fond of the composition on the Victim of the Week banner, with all the mons surrounding the text in darkness. Makes them look sufficiently intimidating; kudos, sir.

Might I ask how you go about approaching some of these projects from the start? Whenever I'm starting on a logo/banner/etc, I usually have to freewrite about it to come up with a decent composition, do sketches to figure out how to draw everything in the image, and then do a final drawing by hand and reconstruct it digitally, a process which often takes roughly... 15 to 20 hours or so total? And I feel like there are more efficient ways to go about it.
