Chades Challenge LXXVIII: Oscar Contenders

As always, the Chades (Character Design) Challenge is open to anyone who wants to contribute. If you have an Oscar-nominated design of your own, let me know and I'll post your art below. Otherwise, you can join in March 8th for...

Fantasy Football V: Redskins vs Buccaneers

Aye the Buccaneers fought well; but at the end of the day, tickets weren't the only thing being scalped at the Tampa Bay game.

Giants vs. Cowboys

This is why I'm not a huge football fan. When I hear "Giants vs Cowboys," I imagine something along these lines...

...in which case I'd bet on the giants every single time.

0 days...Game Time!

Rango

I borrowed Rango from my buddy Ken, and if there's anything I've learned from Arrested Development, it's to always leave a note.

This is a great film, by the way! Hats off to Gore Verbinksi for an animated film that pays homage to classic westerns yet still manages to break the mold! I hope they take home the animated film Oscar (how was Los Lobos not even nominated for their fantastic original song?).

Now if they'd only gotten Nico Marlet to design those animals...

CHADES CHALLENGE LVI: MARILYN MANTIS

You and I both know that mantids, as hemimetabolic insects, have nymph stages rather than the holometabolic pupal stage. But don't let that bug you.

I had so much fun researching Mr. Manson, that I decided to do a sketch of him in human form as well. If you haven't watched this guy in a live show, you should check it out. Much like a mantis, I could picture this guy biting his mate's head off.

In retrospect, it looks a bit more like Anthony Kiedis.

If you have any Marilyn Mantis designs, let me know and I'll post them below! As always, everyone is invited to participate. If you don't have anything this week, you're welcome to contribute to our next Character Design Challenge on August 26th. The subject will be:

CHADES CHALLENGE LV: COWBOYS & ALIENS

Today's sketch was co-drawn by the amazing Emma Coats. She started the sketch with the bucking horse, and I added the vermin.
