Ha! I remember the times when I drew under the influence. I really miss those days!

But really really great characters with varying styles. That's the way I set up my universe: comic-style enemies vs. Disneyesque characters with a sci-fi inclined black metal soundtrack to go with it!

I really like the Native American dude as well as the crackley-faced portrait. Your stuff never fails to let down!!

Great sketches again!
The Standing Bear's character is really fantastic!

Jacobo said...

I love this post. I enjoy with your cartoon style ( the man with swords on his back) and the great pose of the medieval knight (like a ´Templario´). I have a question, can you stop the hand still anytime??? I think that you are drawing even slept... All the best!

S.T. Lewis said...

Great stuff, as usual, Mel! I like the kneeling guy with the sword the best, I think, but that balding lion is right in there as far as "excellent" goes. I love your sketches, man!

Adrian Lubbers said...

Amazing...but then I expect nothing less!

Dillon Thompson said...

Get better. Turn your head and cough. Do you need me to take your temprature?

Are you ever coming back from Cali...
BOOHYAH

Ken Chandler said...

You drew these sick? You are the man Mel! Bar-none! Can I get your autograph so I can sell it and live off the interest? :)
Everything you do is golden!
