Quick sketch for this month!


Quick partially colored rough line art sketch I did for this month, featuring Questo and Mickey Houndfair, Jr. from my Questo's World comics.

Been a while since I've really post anything, I've just been real busy is all.

Miss drawing these characters a WHOLE LOT!!! I believe this sketch says a lot about most "adults"!

A drawing of Mickey Houndfair


Did a quick drawing of Mickey Houndfair holding a big record, because I missed drawing this character and love his oddball old-timey characteristics.

Happy National Burger Day!

Quick illustration I did celebrating a national day dedicated to one of my all-time favorite foods! 🍔 

Try the MaDog Burger at Mickey's Dog Bowl! 🐕

Another beautiful portrait featuring the main cast of Questo's World


Did this illustration. One of the most difficult drawings to do, to date! I love the way this turned out.

I don't know, I love this pose, but I've never been sure what in god's name it was called. This is directly inspired by a pose common in Hollywood back in the day.

Here are some examples:

The Marx Brothers

The Boswell Sisters
The Andrew Sisters
The McGuire Sisters

Again, I don't know. I just love these poses. Hopefully, these will become a thing later in the 21st century.

Illustration of the day


Some quick, simple little drawings I did of Mickey Houndfair's dad, Mickey Houndfair Sr. serving an ice cold ice cream soda back in his day, in black-and-white, directly inspired by this photo on the bottom.

I'll probably do more of these next time.

Doing my own animation cel

I finally got much of items I needed to do what I've been desired for quite a while; making my own animation cel. I've been thinking for a while: how would my characters look like in cel animation, as well as other animated shows that were initially digitally animated. 

I still wish this technique was still in use today, getting to nice feeling of that the animation done by human hands rather than technology, especially with the rise of A.I. supposedly taking over. 

Did the pencil sketch of the Questo's World characters; Questo, Mickey Houndfair, Ms. Amor and Candy Cottontail.
Partially finished inking of the characters


This is my first time doing something like this. It's, of course, very difficult when compared to digital ink-and-paint.

Obviously, the inking is pretty rough, but it'll be cleaned up once I do the painting.

Got me some:
*Speedball Ink Pen 
*Different color ink 
*Acrylic paint 
*Blank stencil sheets 

Next post will include the finalization of the cel, and likely compare the colors and overall look to digital ink-and-paint.

Questo's World title


A title I did in my spare time. It's been a couple of weeks since I've done some comics, so here's a nice color drawing of the cast Questo's World. I will say, I don't have any ideas for a Christmas comic, but more Sunday comics and Daily comics will be on the way.

Here's the pencil sketch of it too.

The first drawing of Mickey Houndfair!

The first ever drawing of one my favorite characters to write for in Questo's World, Mickey Houndfair Jr., then known as Mickey Goldstein, because he's a Golden-Retriever. His name Mickey was inspired by eateries I either visited or observed with names like Rickey's, Nicky's or Dickey's. I was looking for a name that sounded friendly to add more irony to the concept of his character, Mickey came to mind. 

Early on, his character was actually supposed to be loyal, but later, I decided it would be stronger and deciably more interesting to be the total opposite of the loyalty generally found in canines to go along with the satirical commentary and humor of the Questo's World concept. I was under the impression that not many people understood his character. It was also better that his character was more of an anti-hero rather than a straight up antagonist, (same thing with Ms. Amor) making it less one-sided. I like Mickey because of the backstories revolving around his father, Mickey Houndfair Sr.

His character definitely took some time to get to where he is today. Let me know what are your thoughts are on Mickey Houndfair. Any questions are welcome too!
