 Yeah, that'll do I Think let's see Hello everyone be patient with me just one minute Hello, everyone. I'll be right back Okay, let's see here Okay, there we go Hello Eric and sparkster and breaker clutch and Matt Rubin and everybody Okay, I've got a new I have to have my own live stream up So I can see the live chat Because I can't I have I'm using my phone and I Can't I can't see the screen so hello big day Dave and Peter Aang and Leah and Cobra Island I hope everybody can hear me It's dinner time for me, so I've got to Eat but at the same time We've got to get some drawing done, so I thought it might be fun to do this together Hello painted plastic. Thank you for the help with the last video. I appreciate that Rob is working on a painting on a six by six inch canvas. That's cool Hello Rick Taylor Lance Taas nice to see you Hello, Fredericksburg, Virginia from the United States Yeah Painted plastics custom the shock and all I think was exceptional Hi, Jason and JK MC DJ AC DC Tony Jackson JLS comics. All right So oh The killer wezer I haven't heard from Kevin in quite some time, so I really don't know the answer to that I really don't know I Hope he's fine. I hope he's all right. I'm sure he is But I guess he just hasn't been an inspired to make videos lately He was always on sort of an irregular schedule anyway But he may just be taking extended time off. I really don't know But I hope he comes back Because I really enjoy his videos. Hi guys. Hi Chad Project Darkcorp nice to see you Llama for love nice to see you as well. I There I need to draw this evening a Firefly and a Tunnel rat So I'm trying to get more patreon, you know patron artwork done. Hi Sean Sorry, some folks are showing up and I'm missing you. So sorry if I miss you and don't see you Trying to say hi to everyone Daniel flying nice to see you Thank you very much. Yeah, it's just like a It's just a frozen pepperoni pizza Had to make something quick. It's been a very busy day So I didn't have a lot of time to make dinner Hi Melissa Just pizza this evening. I'm doing all right action figure expert. Thank you for asking I'm gonna have to do a little bit of sketching Because I Always have a challenge with them How to pose Firefly Because I always feel like he's sneaking around and he He should be crouched, but I think that gets a little bit old and I'd like to try to do something a little bit different on the Of course on the the card art He's shown from the back like Like that with like His backpack open and his little submachine gun That's the are you looking at my bum pose But I mean they were specifically trying to show off like the backpack features on the figure They did that a few times on the card art When they wanted to show off something special on the backpack that have the the character basically facing away and The emphasis was on the backpack when the original cover commander is excellent card art. I do like that. I have to attempt to draw Firefly Well, I should get the figure for reference. I don't have it in front of me What if What if we got firefly just sort of Standing around in his full gear like sort of ready for the mission with Let's see that said it seems really static that seems really static And this is always a challenge always a hard time with this I could do I could do The Firefly version to I could do him as the faceless master, but I'm gonna try to do a version one Maybe I can sort of have him leaping at the viewer with He's got a pistol pointed right at you like oh, he's they're gonna get me so all you have him like in a need forward leaping pose kind of Kind of like this and then kind of behind him I want to include the the submachine game because I like it Backpack kind of goes like that I'll try to do something like that just for the sake of making it a little bit more Action packed. Hey, I'll get the figure For reference and I'll try to do something like that Everybody talk amongst yourselves just for a minute. All right There is Firefly Or the the fiber fly as he was known when he got older because he was on the metamucil I Do have I have his some? little Walkie-talkie thing Sticky tax to the backpack so I don't lose it. So all right, there is Firefly use him For a reference and let's see if I can get both of these done in this live stream Although I'm not off to a very fast start lighting a cigarette with flair I think it would be funny if he tried to hold a cigarette with the In his mouth with that mask on Okay, so it was gonna be something like I can already tell I should have got my glasses Why do I do this to myself? I know I know I need the glasses To see when we kind of block this out a little bit the Right arm is gonna be up and holding a pistol. So that's gonna be at a really Sharp angle I get an elbow there and a shoulder there this kind of Move that right shoulder forward a bit and of course his head is gonna be tilted down a bit We'll see a little bit of his backpack here behind him Got the crisscross straps and all that he's got like dynamite and stuff And let's see so since this left shoulder is gonna go back a bit. Let's have him like basically have the I think I'll have like the the sub machine gun on a strap like this And I'll just be kind of securing it with this left Well, it's really on the wrong side, but you know who is counting, right? We'll give him a strap there and it'll be like Like this not loving this But let's see if we can make it work. I know you can't actually see this. Sorry about that I'll I'll try to adjust and it'll be more visible once that I actually Once I actually darken it in a bit Okay, so that shoulders forward and this knee is forward And this leg is gonna be kind of trailing back Be able to see his little bit of his boot there knees bent Like so This knee is extended behind him like so He's kind of leaping forward. I don't know that's you like he's One reason why I try to block these things out Before I start doing them live is because I'm inevitably I'm just unhappy with with how they turn out but as I you know, I have my limitations as an artist I kind of have to Pick one and live with it, but I don't I don't like that way Feel like we need to be filling up a bit more of the page So let's try something else. Yeah, let's try something else. I have a different idea I do want to have this right this right shoulder down and forward But I want to have the submachine gun something like that and I'll have this Pistol up here. There we go. Ah, that's better May not be perfect, but it's better So in this level come out a bit more Something something like that. Yeah, maybe Alright Okay, I feel like I can work with that a little better But this rate only get like one of these done this evening. I'm just taking a second looking at the live stream or the live chat for a second Okay. Oh, hey, there's Brandon night. Hello, Brandon. All right What can't I find things that I'm looking for Gun Okay, professor grandpa glasses acquired now, let's see what we can do with this Let's see. There's some let's clean up these construction lines a little bit and I apologize It's it's hard for me to Keep an eye on the live chat. Well, I'm Got my eyes on the page, but I'll try to check. I'll try to look back here Periodically, it's all so hard for me to talk while I'm drawing. I don't normally talk while I'm drawing Okay, gotta shape his head a bit He's got his head tilted forward and let's get get his eyes on those lines Only detail you see on his face really is just his eyes. Their rest is covered with the mask All right. Well, let's read that up pretty well. Hang on and his nose will be about there But he's got This mask that covers almost all of his face. We'll put some camouflage on that later. Okay, so actually probably going to Like that's gonna be the barrel of the submachine gun something like that I'll be at a sharp angle Lazarus Let's see It's got the like the blocky magazine It's got like a really long grip Well, we're not gonna get a lot of details on that Submachine gun because of the angle, but that's okay That's okay. I like the dynamics, so let's get this And I I'm not breaking out the straight edges for anything to do the perspective and all that so This is just supposed to be a quick sketch so Trying to make it a quick sketch. Hello James frame Nice to see you. I don't like the shape of that head. Let's fix it a little bit. Okay Here we go. Got the Figure here. I'm just taking a quick look at it. Hello zealous. Nice to see you. Hello, James aka reface Hello, everyone. All right, so something along those lines Pretty basic. All right. I feel like this Submachine gun is gonna be a pain, so I'm trying to like Sort this out real quick. I can sort that out real quick I think the rest will be relatively easy. How are we doing? Painted plastic is popular this evening, but that's good. He deserves to be I thought you guys would like seeing what that dude does. I thought you would really enjoy Seeing what he can do with a custom Vehicle and figure his hand can be a little Bigger because he is reaching forward see a little bit of his shoulder behind that Submachine gun, but be mostly covered up. Of course. It's got like I said, it's got a Long grip. Let's see that he has like. Oh, yeah, he has like a little dagger on his on his Right wrist. Let's kind of draw that in Yes, Brandon Stalker 1.5 has gotten rather expensive. I'm really relieved that I got mine when I did But I mean even then it was not very cheap And it's mine's not in perfect condition, but at least I have one And I didn't pay an arm and a leg for it. Okay, so There's that Feel like I can live with that All right Okay, let me see backpack is like like this something along these lines Sorry, I know I'm not being very good conversationless right now, but um I'm afraid you just have to join me while I'm working Sure. Go ahead Melissa Ice cream soldier, huh? That would be entertaining. I don't believe I've ever actually drawn the ice cream soldier That would be quite amusing Okay, so let's figure this out um so is Arms coming up like this and it's also going to be stretched forward, but it's going to be up a bit And he's going to have He's going to have all right, so He's going to have uh, let's think about this here. Let's think about this Let's think about the angle of the pistol. The pistol is going to be like This and so his hand is going to be like this This is exciting. Isn't it guys? I think I enjoy the live streams more when I just kind of sit and chat with you guys Uh, I need to do that more. I like that one That's more fun. Well, I mean, that's not great, but I can live with that. That will clean up a bit, but that'll that'll work his left side he has um Whatever those things are just like some kind of rectangular things He's got things on his On his arm and let's see now. We've got to put in his Straps he's got One that goes this way And that's going to have three grenades. It's going to be a little bit tricky to get those grenades Proportioned right It's hard to judge because his hands are kind of extended One thing I try to do like if I'm drawing a grenade or something or on a figure Is um I try to imagine the figure in the drawing or the character in the drawing Wrapping his hand around the grenade and that kind of helps me Gauge about how uh, how big it should be. That's not so easy here because it is um Both arms both of his arms are kind of extended forward It's got a kind of a buckle there. I like that. That's a cool detail Let's work that in and this strap just kind of goes down here and it has like Strap to me has like dynamite or something I think it's dynamite something like that. Let's get there's like a strap that goes around it I'm gonna draw it like dynamite. So there we go No, he's got uh, there's his color details a little bit obscured because of how Far forward he's leaning. So we won't get a lot of that like a color over that strap details on his shirt and then the belt You guys can't see any of this. Can you this this uh This is why the pros are the pros And i'm not a pro All right, so he's got some pouches The pouches on the figures tended to be sculpted kind of small Like so small that you like what would you even fit in there? um I like to make them a little bit bigger So that they might actually look like they're useful for something They're basically kind of like cubes He's got a peculiar looking belt buckle Okay, uh and let's see have a lot of folds in his uh in the cloths of his uniform around this leg because That leg is extended up and he's got this is where he has his pistol I went with the pistol in the uh left hand because I just thought it would um It was it's lighter. So I thought he'd be able to handle it with his uh left hand a little better And put the submachine gun in his right hand. I have the submachine gun in his left hand that I don't think that's practical Not that any of this is realistic, but still uh, let's see Doesn't have any pockets on that shirt. Um, let's see he has I'm not going to be able to see very much of his pistol just going to kind of see the strap and then Maybe I can like um Have the pistol flare out. Yeah. No, no, no, that won't work Let's let's do it like it's on the figure. That's Let's see here It does have like a little strap over it like this And it's like that Oh, Tony Jackson sends a super chat. Thank you very much. It says, uh, hey Hoodie, can I submit a drawing for the Of the mega viper when you eventually get to him? Sure. Uh, that's fine. Uh, absolutely Um, and I don't know when I'm going to get to the mega viper, but I've I've had my eye on it And now that's not really fair to say because I've had my my eye on a lot of things for a long time And I haven't nailed that one down yet but Um, this is the year of the 90s So I have actively been trying to acquire Uh more 90s toys Uh, so that one, I mean, it's it's certainly not impossible for me to get to that one this year And I kind of like to you know Um Um, I I don't feel like This year being the year of the 90s is going to be the year of a lot of popular videos Uh, because and it's not Just because like the 90s, you know people don't like the 90s is that Just just by the numbers there were more gi joe fans in the 80s um The 80s was the decade of you know, the The most popularity so um So a lot of 80s gi joe fans just aren't gonna know about a lot of Uh, where'd I put that figure? Just aren't gonna know about a lot of this 90s stuff Um, but I you know, even though I'm not a fan of the 90s I'm gonna enjoy kind of digging into some of these Kind of obscure things these like weird Subteams and all that stuff, uh I think that's gonna be fun. I think that's gonna be fun He has a strap that goes like right across His boot like that Very odd looking boots. He also has a kind of a Thing over here Don't know what that device is, but that has a double strap around the Left leg Let's see. It's gonna be like It's up running out of room You know rob Liefeld is going to uh be drawing Snake eyes. Well, he is already drawing a snake eyes comic book so, you know Maybe maybe that's the trend and maybe I need to do some Maybe I need to do some life held uh Life held feet something like um, see how do they go? Is that Is that it did I get it? Is that a rob Liefeld foot? Something oh here. I'll draw it in a little bit better His feet if he draws feet, they're like They're like that There you go. See rob Liefeld foot Thank you, Glenn Now I gotta erase that I hope I didn't draw it on there too solidly So whoever gets this picture is gonna be like, why is there a rob Liefeld foot drawn on this? That was vigorously erased Sorry Should run that on the sketch paper Okay um So, you know, basically, um, I just need to fill in the details and darken it up a little bit Let's see if we can kind of Show you the progress a little bit. I hope that works out. Okay quick kick feet Small diamond feet and very pointy. I I think it's unfair that people Criticize rob Liefeld by saying that he can't draw feet. That's not fair. He can't draw anything else either That was mean. Oh my goodness. I just said a mean thing about somebody who's a lot more successful as an artist than I am I you know, I I apologize I'm ashamed of myself Um, I will self-flagellate after this, uh video as punishment These grenades are sort of in front of things. So I'm gonna try to Do these and then work in the other details behind them So let me clean that up a little bit a lot of sketchy lines in the center there All right. I I'm sorry. I'm sorry Between me and rob Liefeld, uh, guess who's the more successful and influential artist? It's not me and never shall be So he's always got that on me. Okay. Uh, let's see. So we've got this kind of strap going here and the folds of the Shoulder of his uniform are gonna kind of come in front and then he's got the collar That comes out and then the rest of the strap kind of sneaks behind and over his back and then uh down here He's got this cool buckle thing and let's see It may seem like i'm jumping around but i'm trying to think about how things are sort of stacked on top of each other So I can kind of draw things that are Farther forward first. So I don't have to erase anything Desert storm trading cards, man. I haven't I haven't thought about those in decades I remember when those were out though I don't think I had any at least not that I recall but I remember seeing them. Okay, so that You get a little bit more sharp lines there See rob Liefeld should like this on drawing pouches Hey, one really good thing about rob Liefeld drawing snake eyes is He does have a big fan base and Uh, it will get Uh part of you know comics fandom Talking about gi joe again, and that's not a bad thing Right now. Um, yeah, we need to think about What what uh what raises the um The profile of gi joe And that that definitely helps it helps Uh the the movie that's coming out in october that should help as well And uh, I think it'll be nice to have People talking about gi joe again In a contemporary way not not just in a nostalgic way But talking about what's actually happening with it Um today So that will be cool and It's that's probably more important than whether I specifically like any of it Because I I mean that's just my particular personal taste, right? um, and I'm you know Although my personal preferences are important to me I mean they have to be important to everybody else My personal preferences are Just that just personal preferences more pouches rob More pouches now I do remember Uh comics in the 90s and I remember how Popular life held was at the time um But even back then like um, I mean I got swept away in Uh with those popular artists just like Everybody else did um But I Not so much life held I didn't Understand like I didn't understand his drawings. I didn't understand his technique and I didn't understand Like what he was trying to convey Um, and people have said that well He may not you know have gotten a lot of technical things right on his drawings But his artwork has a lot of energy, but I don't know that I agree with that because some of the problems with His arts actually take away from the energy of Uh of the drawing and of the page I I kind of always preferred And still do prefer I guess Jim Lee Who um, I felt had more solid fundamentals Um as what he had solid fundamentals, but he also had that kind of um hyper detailed style and like lots of cross hatching that was popular at the time and I say this as like Not I'm not really a current comic book fan um, I just The medium just doesn't excite me right now and um You know, I just I don't I don't feel like um Diving into What's going on? Uh, I I feel like maybe like the um A lot of the old genres that were used to maybe getting a little bit tired and old And maybe maybe not for everyone But for me, you know, I just Not a lot to excite me at the moment so So, I'd say that means what I think about uh Comic books and artists probably matters less Than someone who is actually Actively reading this stuff. I am not um, I am not who they are selling it to So I guess this is kind of like that Okay, and we had these two little doodads here Whatever they were On his left arm And So that's going to be his forearm It's kind of as okay, so let's let's give this Yeah, a little bit of an impression of Judding forward there. Okay All right. I think I can live with that Not real happy with the detail on those grenades. Oh, what's happening? Did I miss anything? um Hello jit. Hello Jay Shelly Bubble wrap for memories. I'm recently single too. I I'm sorry. I know the feeling I know the feeling sorry about that Seems to be the way life is going right now for a lot of people including me but um I'm actually getting through it a lot better than I thought I would Uh, mainly, um, you know with the help of friends and family but also with the help of um This community here that that has kind of um That's done a lot. Uh, and a lot of people have reached out and that's uh It's been very helpful. It really it shows me that people care and that That actually means a lot and I I care about all of you guys too um I don't think I would keep doing this if I didn't care um That's the main reason that I had kept it the channel going when at some points it was quite difficult um, but I just I I just love coming to uh to you, you know every week and um I love getting together. I love the interactions and I just I just love the people And you know, that's been the surprise like I just started. I wanted to talk about gi joe but um I think I just I love the people that I've met and the people that I've become friends with more than More than gi joe So now you guys are talking about all the comic book people you've met Who out there has met larry hama? I've met him a couple of times Oh, and uh in iowa, I met uh ron wagner And ron wagner uh was one of my absolute favorite, uh gi joe artists And I had him um draw A stalker for me Uh, that was just gorgeous and um, so and ron wagner is really cool Um, I I actually got to talk to him for a few minutes and that was really awesome I got a photo with him That was really amazing. I never in my life thought I would actually meet ron wagner And by the way, you know, it must be all the clean living but You know ron wagner has got to be at least, you know, 15 years older than me at least and yet he looks about the same age that I do So congratulations ron wagner uh on the clean living That has uh kept you uh youthful Oh, yeah jason. Yeah, um That I just thought that was really amazing That was a great experience And you know if you want to see some good gi joe artwork, uh go look at the issues that were drawn by uh ron wagner and he has like His style has It's more loose than uh rod wiggum um But it had a lot of the uh like really precise um toy accurate vehicle artwork vehicle drawings uh that we got from um rod wiggum so he's like um His our style was like rod wiggum, but like with more um I don't know The energy is not quite the right word, but it was it was more loose and it uh, it felt more um realistic I guess you can say and I was I was a fan of rod wiggum. I still am rod wiggum was one of the early gi joe artists that actually tried to uh To make the figures or make the characters in the vehicles look right um, and we could compare his work to like um Uh, what's his name springer? um I mean sometimes there just wasn't even any effort to make them look right um, but rod wiggum really tried and we got some more toy accurate, um uh comic books during rod wiggum's tenure And ron lander was able to do that too um but also add like the the extra life that um that maybe some of the um looser artists um were able to do um Erdio doesn't like mike fosberg Mike I have actually have talked with mike fosberg a couple of times And he's a really nice guy and he is uh an excellent artist um At the time he was drawing gi joe. He was That was very early in his career. Um And uh He might have done things a little differently, you know, if he were a bit more experienced I'm sure he would do things differently now um, but um I I I understand like that he was he was doing the best he could at the time um, and the impression that I got is that he wasn't getting a lot of feedback um, so yeah, he was um Uh, it it was You know, it was it it was what it was Rio wants to know why everyone is wrong I don't know. Um, so I gotta put some camouflage on it. Um Um But I think that's gonna be our firefly what's oh, hey, it's like eight o'clock. See I told you I was only gonna get one of these done um Let's get um I'll add some camouflage and then I will uh close the uh The live stream. Thanks everyone for showing up. I am sorry uh for not being able to get to the uh live chat very much uh, but it's very difficult for me to um To draw and talk at the same time and you know, um Yeah, I'm sorry about that. I wasn't able to uh Chat as much as I normally like to so We will not do the same thing next week. The next week. We'll just we'll do something where we can just sort of uh We can chat a bit, you know, we we can just talk You know just talk. All right. I'm drawing some squiggly camouflage lines wrap it up Probably gonna have to have some more pizza. Where's that? Where's the figure? That has like uh, uh, that's really weird. It's got like uh, really weird. Okay. Okay. Um, let's see Get some squiggly camouflage lines And we're gonna call it good Yeah, next time next time we'll just kind of sit and chat.
