Quones/Jam-Wah bean people thread...

[JamieRoberts]

Rather than a thread for each new piece of art, I'm gonna condense the lot into one thread from now on.

First up, Mr. Creed at the office...

[Grant Perkins]

Your work leaves me harder than a judo trained bodybuilder in a tank of cement.

[JamieRoberts]

Ummm... thanks?!

[JamieRoberts]

Yeah, yeah, I know I started a new thread for this pic, but I forgot about this thread.

[The Anti-crest]

I always love your work. Good job.

[JamieRoberts]

Cheers, dude. Always nice to be appreciated!

[JamieRoberts]

A little FF wallpaper for ya!

If your work got any cooler, Bobby Drake would sue for likeness rights.

[SIN 78]

I like the Fist the best he looks cool.

[RandallFlagg]

Speaking of Fists, I'd love to see you take on an Iron Fist! That would kick so much tail.

These are totally awesome, by the way! Thanks for the new wallpaper!

[JamieRoberts]

Oh My God, I love this! If I could, I would lock you in a basement and force you to draw every single comic character I could think of!

This is the BEES KNEES!! Love it! Love all your work. :banana:

[JamieRoberts]

Thanks guys! I really appreciate the support. Although now I'm gonna crap myself every time the doorbell sounds in case it's a kidnap attempt!

[jedipencil]

Quones, your work is just beautiful...I didn't really think computer based stuff could be quite like this! Beautiful design and colors... :thumbs: :thumbs:

[JamieRoberts]

Thanks jedipencil!

Slight change of style, here. Really quick, sketchy TMNT inspired by masked_ramen's thread. Doesn't hold a candle, but what the hell.

http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h183/jam-wah/loresraph.jpg

[Mike225]

Same crit as masked ramen got: Finish it! You're missing three turtles!

[JamieRoberts]

Yeah, but I got the best one! Ooooo... controversial!

[Mike225]

Aw snap! You dissin my homey, man!

I always love your work, Jamie. There's always so much charm there.

[danedawg99]

holy sweet mother of crap that FOJ is teh awesomeness, Jamie!

[JamieRoberts]

Sending out submissions to magazines this weekend, so I'm gonna diversify a little from comic book characters. Already got a few music celebrities down, so time for film stars...

http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h183/jam-wah/loressmalljack.jpg

[deanne]

Fantabulouso!!!!
I must say, I love your TMNT!!! (you did pick the best one! ;) )

Good luck with the submissions!!! :)

Jack is the man! Nice Jamie!

Yeah, Raphael is cool. But crude, so I hear.

Most of you probably won't know this guy. He's a Brit 'comedian' (I use the term loosely since I'm as amused by him as I am by ritual suicide), by the name of Russell Brand. Another for the submission pack.

http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h183/jam-wah/loresrussellsmall.jpg

Here's the real thing. I want to hit him (as in punch, not the other kind of hit).

[dano]

The famous people portraits in your style is a frickin' GREAT idea!!! Good luck with your submissions! Don't forget political figures. Over here, Hillary Clinton, Barak Obama and Rudy Guiliani are popular news fodder.

[JamieRoberts]

Nice idea! Got another movie star, here. I'm cranking these beasts out today!

OMG that's so great! They all are actually
Break a leg for luck on the pack attack.

I love this thread!!! :thumbs:

[Row]

ARRRGGGHH, Russell Brand....He should be dragged through the streets of Britain and we should all be allowed to take a very long run up and kick seven shades of shit outta him!!!! He's about as funny as an attack of diarrohia on a trampaline ( well actually that would be quite funny to see at the olympics)

Quones, your stuff give me the biggest smile whenever I see it, I love it.

Good luck with the mag subs, with quality work like this, you deserve to get snapped up for work by any magazine.

All the best

Row

[ChrisMcJunkin]

Man, quones, that Jack Nicholson one is on the money! And I love the expression on the Gladiator pic. He's kinda' got an "Awwwww, man...what the crap?!?" look on his face.

[VOGLER/ART]

:) Like the Russel crowe pic

[JamieRoberts]

Cheers, everyone!

[JamieRoberts]

So, I got a little deadline extension and I got the hankering to do a li'l Spidey. It's a quick one, about 20 minutes. Yeah, I know there's no webbing. I think it'd make the pic look like crap, frankly. Anyway, lunchtime.

...and now you must be destroyed...

[JamieRoberts]

Why, thank you Grendel! Coming from you, dude...

And Dis, can I be destroyed after the weekend? I'm crazy busy.

[Fresco]

:laugh: amazing and spectacular!

edit: ...and "web of..."

keep hope alive mom ami, keep hope alive!!! :)

[JamieRoberts]

I was hoping for 'web of', but I guess you can't have everything...

[JamieRoberts]

Hey guys, just thought I'd post my Darthfest entry on here, plus a couple of links to the wallpapers. Enjoy!

Today is a good day. I finished my huge project last night, and I decided to do nothing today except buy and read comics. But, it feels weird not to be creating, so I did this Hulk pic. Took about 10 minutes, but it was a fun exercise.
http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h183/jam-wah/hulk.jpg

[Mike225]

Yay! I like the Hulk picture, but I'm glad to hear you got the big project finished!

[JamieRoberts]

Thanks for the yay! Yeah, I'm really glad not to be busting my ass every night, but I'm sure up for more of the same very soon.

A quick Cap.

http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h183/jam-wah/classic%20characters/cap.jpg

I cry foul!!!! These aren't beans!

[JamieRoberts]

This is kinda beany... again, a quick one, for fun.

my favorite thread..

[JamieRoberts]

my favorite thread..
Awwww! Stop! No, you stop! No, you stop!

I watched Doctor Who today, and with a couple of new sci-fi Mags launched recently in the UK, I thought the time was right to work up a pic of the good Doctor (you know, in case they like beans).

http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h183/jam-wah/classic%20characters/drwho.jpg

[JamieRoberts]

It's been a loooong time, but I did another bean. Shep's alphabet thread prompted me to kinda cheat and do F for Fisk, rather than K for Kingpin. Ah, well.

Hope you likey.

[L Jamal]

About freaking time ... slacker :D

[JamieRoberts]

You know, when I was working on this image, I thought to myself "Even if everyone hates it, at least Jamal will be happy!"

[L Jamal]

are you saying I'm easy?

[JamieRoberts]

Like Sunday morning.

[Grant Perkins]

Good art AND a good song.

Best thread ever!

[Premature Inker]

Looks Great!!!...good design and composition.Reminds me of the art that would be of celebrity's in Entertainment weekly articles...that is good.



J.

[JamieRoberts]

Ha! Cheers, G.

PI (or J), that was the plan a while ago, to submit to those kinda things. Happily, fate stepped in and gave me work before I got the chance!

[JamieRoberts]

Another quickie.

http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h183/jam-wah/classic%20characters/greengoblin.jpg

[L Jamal]

bah ... you're just trying to get more attention! :D

You should do a Savage dragon short and send it to Larsen. He runs all kinds of Dragon stuff in his comic.

[Fresco]

Another quickie.

http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h183/jam-wah/classic%20characters/greengoblin.jpg

That's like totally Goblinlicious--



Another fine addition to the jammwahh jammfest, QUONES. :kewl:

[JamieRoberts]

I declare this thread alive once more! Rejoice, and dance with a terrier or something.

So, although I've mentioned it before many times, here's what's been happening with the beans.

First off, we've got Doxy Proxy, the comic I went insane trying to complete on time (almost losing a lung through forgetting to breathe). It's published by Image as part of Popgun, volume 1. It's a huge book, but it's really cheap for its size. It's about Jesus and the Antichrist fighting crime.

http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h183/jam-wah/doxycoversmallerwithbanner.jpg

I'm also doing some stuff I can't talk about. That's not handy right now, so I'll show you one of the many collaborations I've worked on with good ol' Doctor Doxx (not a real doctor). This one is the latest. It's going with me to the Birmingham con.

http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h183/jam-wah/classic%20characters/sinister6lores.jpg

[JamieRoberts]

And after a few suggestions, here it is in an amped-up form. Far better, I think.

http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h183/jam-wah/classic%20characters/sinister63lores.jpg

[JamieRoberts]

A couple of wallpapers based on my entry for Blitz Draw-Off 14.

http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h183/jam-wah/vampirewall2.jpg
http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h183/jam-wah/vampirewall.jpg

A slightly older Buck Rogers redesign (might have posted this before).

http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h183/jam-wah/classic%20characters/buckrogers.jpg

[Nitecrawlah2]

Mad points on Jesus' hands :laugh: . Looks like a fun project man, I'll pick it up if it has more stuff like this (First I've heard of this Popgun project from Image). The updated Sinister Six looks friggin' sweet!

[JamieRoberts]

Cheers! Although I'm attached to the project and therefore ever so slightly biased, I can tell you that Popgun is looking friggin' hot. The sheer number of stories and creators involved is insane, and it's so varied. I can't wait to read it!

[JamieRoberts]

Hullo. Turns out I got shunted from volume 1 of Popgun to volume 2, but no biggie. It's out just in time for San Diego 2008!

Still cranking out the work, but here's a little relaxant I drew up. Jesse Custer from Preacher, half-beaned. Oh, it's part of Draw-Off Blitz 24(?), too. Just saying.

http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h183/jam-wah/classic%20characters/preacherlores.jpg

And after a few suggestions, here it is in an amped-up form. Far better, I think.

http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h183/jam-wah/classic%20characters/sinister63lores.jpg


Yeah I think this one is better. The shadowing and lighting makes it better. (if that was some of the suggestions, they were right)

[JamieRoberts]

Yeah I think this one is better. The shadowing and lighting makes it better. (if that was some of the suggestions, they were right)
That was pretty much the jist. Thanks for the comment!

[Grant Perkins]

And what a jist it was!

[JamieRoberts]

As jists go, it was a doozy. Some might say "jist-tastic".

[Paul Sanderson]

Art's looking fantastic, Jamie. Keep up the great work :thumbs:

[JamieRoberts]

I decided today that I've strayed quite a way from the bean men style. Got a couple of deadlines out of the way, and finished up this little number. I sketched it well before Heath Ledger's unfortunate demise, but now I think it's my tribute to the guy. It's obviously based on the publicity shot for The Dark Knight, but with a beany spin.

Good to be back.

http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h183/jam-wah/classic%20characters/joker.jpg

[Grant Perkins]

Dude.

You make my pants wet.

[Mike225]

I want your autograph!

[JamieRoberts]

You sure Mike? I have a habit of spilling ink all over people's pants. Just ask Doxx.

[Mike225]

You'd have to throw it quite a ways to spill it on my pants, homey.

[JamieRoberts]

I read that as 'honey' the first time. 'Pants honey' is a very different thing.

[L Jamal]

Beans rock!

[JamieRoberts]

Cheers, Jamal! Only took me a month to reply...

Well, following the Ghostbusters pic (which is gonna develop into a full team pic, and will be a lot of fun!), I'm working on Star Wars beans! Every magazine puts those guys in there once in a while, so it can't hurt, eh? Han's on the way, but I thought I'd kick off with Yoda wasting time on Dagobah. 20 years is a loooong time...

http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h183/jam-wah/classic%20characters/yoda.jpg

[Grant Perkins]

Well endowed I am, yes.

[JamieRoberts]

Oh hell.

Oh God.

I see it! I SEEEEEEE IIIIIIITTTTT!!!

[Gav Heryng]

Ha!

I see your shwartz is as big as mine...

Cool work, Jim.

Dis

[Nitecrawlah2]

Yes, my favorite thread resurrected! Keep 'em comin! :banana:

[JamieRoberts]

Hey guys,

I'm not really doing the forum thing at the moment for a number of reasons, but as a result I've been working a lot more, and I thought maybe you'd be interested in the latest bean men. I'm pretty much doing these as warm-ups now, they take between 1 and 2 hours each and I love creating them!

Incidentally, I really appreciate all the comments I get on this thread, even though I tend to forget to reply half of the time. You guys are the reason I'm still doing this.

Anyway, without further ado, may I present... Gambit!

http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h183/jam-wah/classic%20characters/gambitweb.jpg

and Thor (classic stylee)!

http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h183/jam-wah/classic%20characters/thorloresdw-size.jpg

[jimmybott]

oh man that Thor is cool. love it. But you should have lit him with blue light, give it some drama :)

[The Anti-crest]

I always love your work. Good job.


I've been trying to think of something awesome to say every time I look at the art in this thread but I said it best on page one.

[mikeexner3]

Really fantastic work, as always, Jamie. I love this bean people thread. I'm forced to peruse the entire thing every time you post since you go so long between updates. My only question is whether Thor is missing an eyebrow on purpose or not? I absolutely must (must!) commission you to do a bean version of one of my characters someday.

[JamieRoberts]

Guess what? I decided not to go to bed early tonight, and instead did my first bean man in months. I really enjoyed it, I'd forgotten how satisfying it can be to do these guys. This one was 70 mins, start to finish.

How the hell I thought tackling a character who's known for his nose would be a good idea, but I think it worked.

http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h183/jam-wah/classic%20characters/penguin.jpg

Wallpaper version (only 1024 x 768) (http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h183/jam-wah/classic%20characters/penguinwallpaper.jpg)

[JamieRoberts]

Again, it's been a while. December was not a month I'll be sad to see go. I got almost zero illustrating done, and just felt indifferent towards the whole thing. It's taken a lot of effort to sit back down at the PC and do something today. It's not work, just something to ease me back into it. Hence, the simplicity of this pic. I'm aiming for getting back into the swing of things by the weekend.

So anyway, I may as well show this off. I sketched bean men of the Thunderbolts on my lunch break about a month ago, so here's Venom.

http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h183/jam-wah/classic%20characters/venomwallpaper.jpg

I've done a couple of wallpapers for family in place of birthday cards recently, so I'll share those in a while. It's been long enough that I feel okay to show them.

[JamieRoberts]

Okay, here they are.

I'm much, much happier with Cap than Aragorn. I rushed the background on that one and frankly, Sauron looks totally awful.

sin city bean?

hm?

[stahss]

These make me happy. I love your colors.

[Gav Heryng]

Ah, back on form, Jamie. Good effort!

That's you wearing the Captain America suit though, isn't it? Admit it!

Dis

[jimmybott]

That Cap is awesome :)

[Mike225]

I like 'em all!
