Detail from a comic page featuring some NPC critters: what likes like a squirrel, tall bird and rhinoceros beetle.
Comic commission of MegaMan (RockMan) & Roll playing in a battle of the bands against MetalMan (get it?) - 1 band vs 8 bands! Who would do this?? Anyway everyone is shredding until Rock & Roll release a dual pronged sonic attack of screaming vocals and majesty shredding that renders MetalMan's musical ass fully smoked. The winning band is thus equipped with MetalMan's metal blade guitar.
A photo of Kermit and Fozzie singing "Movin' Right Along"
Research sketches from my sketch book (for my first MG OGN!). Mostly classifications of different parasitic mushrooms, sketches of pests operating as construction and contracting. What does it ???? Who knows??
Black and white commission for the Red Dwarf crew - from l. to r. we got Rimmer, Holly, Cat and Lister playing poker with two scutters assisting. Cat is cleaning up the game. And Kryten is cleaning up after the boys from the Dwarf with his vacuum attachment.
Cartoony illustration of Wesley Snipes as Blade from the Blade movies He’s got fangs, a sword and it’s raining blood
Ink and marker sketch of a cattle dog witch holding a broom. A crow sits on the broom wearing glasses. The crow is kinda beardy, sorta. The dog is Rocko. The crow is Max, his familiar, aka Me.
Ink and marker drawing of a Mothman type fellow complete with a buzzed mullet, beard, one of those moth nose spiral things, antennae, batwings and a cut-off jean jacket - 80s metal style. One hand is holding a blood soaked VHS tape. The other hand is dripping with blood. They is happy.
Marker and ink sketch of a hairy orange monster shaving their chest. Underneath is a tattoo (?) that reads: "Shave Them Off" with two little checked checkboxes. The monster is holding an electric razor and is seems pleased with themselves.

Artwork of... On the left of panel: Rockman shredding on guitar with his helmet off and hair flowing. Dude's got an E Tank tattoo. Rock's guitar looks like a Mega Buster and has stickers of the Dr. Right logo and a Met or Metall. He's also got a tatt of Beat in the style of the Judas Priest falcon on his forearm. Behind him ROLL is doing her best PARAMORE impression on the mic. On the right of panel: METAL MAN from MEGA MAN 2 is also shredding a solo on his METAL BLADE guitar that is actively spinning against his face sending sparks everywhere. METAL MAN is decked out like MEGADETH's mascot VIC RATTLEHEAD complete with chains and blinded/muted skull face. Rock on!
Digital sketch of Locke from Final Fantasy 6. Looking his usual smug and overconfident self holding some item he stole.
Detail of Mega Man 2 inspired poster - art by me (Max Bare) Rock & Roll are in a band, shredding guitar and screaming vocals respectively. Above Rock, his Helmet is in mid-zoom about to meet his cranium, Mega Man 2 opener style. Behind them looms a giant Metal Man kinda skeletoned out a la Rattlehead from Megadeth. Why not?
Detail of illustrated poster featuring MegaMan. The important thing is this is a depiction of Doug, Jerry and Ty from King's X circa Faith Hope Love tour.
Black & White drawing of Wood Man from Mega Man 2. Dude's done up in heavy metal attire - big leaf beard, leaf shield flying V guitar, antlers and roses on his head - why? Because I was listening to Mastodon album "Blood Mountain" at the time.
Pen and marker sketch of Cut Man - a robot with giant scissors on his head.
Comic panel from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Mirage) no. 22, art/story by Mark Martin. Four ninja turtles near or on a disheveled couch.
snapshot detail of a comic page - a slug makes their way to a semi truck - they a truck driver.
Illustration of the Gym Ratz: Two baddies. One is Big Galoot, a muscular boxer with boxing gloves, tribal-ish tattoos, and a wild mohawk punching the viewer in the face! The other is B-Quick; she is sporting two tight long braids, spiky headphones, spiky knee pads, spiky cleats and a sword with a kettle bell on the end, kinda like a mace bell? Anyway she is also running at the viewer.
Ink drawing of Bebop and Rocksteady from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (cartoon show (from the 90's)) playing Ninja Turtles 2: Arcade Game on the NES (specifically level 4 boss fight with Tora, the punker polar bear). Both Bebop and Rocksteady are in their undies, gross feet exposed, pizza boxes everywhere, living like slobs (no judgement). Bebop rests his keister on a dead tortoise. Two dorky birds wearing bandanas (like TMNT get it?) rest on Rocksteady. Why? Because he's a flipping a rhino dude! Bogus!
Screen shot of gameplay from One Must Fall - two identical robots square off in some kinda pit of death.
Color page 1 of the first Galaxy-Hero comic. In this splash page Galaxy-Hero is having his hop head squeezed by a giant claw of Dr. Skunk's krang-like skunk-shaped robot suit. A skunk-sized skunk with glasses madly controls the robot from basically inside the crotch of the robot. Text reads: "This guy's trying to kill me!" "How the hell did I wind up here?" "Ok, Ok. Calm down..." Art by Max Bare & Melissa Sue Stanley, Story by David Schneider Galaxy-Hero is beer and brand character of Revolution Brewing.
Same comic page as previous post but in be-a-u-tiful color.
