Haven't picked up a pencil in a while, but recently got back in to it. Here's a couple of my things.

 

This first one of the cast of Jem I did when I was in high school back in 1998. FINALLY finished coloring in last night. Only took me 14 years, haha! Unfortunately, I was a dumb kid and folded it and therefore there's a permanent crease. Boo! Hiss!

 

 

This one here I did last night of the Misfits.

The animated series Jem follows the adventures of a pop star named Jem and her band, the Holograms. Determined to use their fame and fortune to help others, the group runs a home for runaway girls called Starlight House. They have a secret, however, in that lead singer Jem and the band's manager, Jerrica, are actually the same person. Jerrica's late father, a brilliant scientist, created a super computer called Synergy, into which he programmed the soul of Jerrica's late mother. Jerrica remains connected to Synergy by wearing a pair of specially designed earrings that can communicate with the computer through no more than a whisper. When she needs to don her Jem persona, she says the magic phrase "Show time, Synergy!" and through the use of holograms, she is instantly outfitted with the pink hair and outrageous outfits that make her no longer recognizable as Jerrica, even to her boyfriend, Rio. Unfortunately, the band's secret makes them vulnerable to the mean-spirited rival band the Misfits, who are always out to ruin the lives and careers of the Holograms. Jem originally ran from 1985 to 1988 and retains a cult status, especially among its original audience. The flamboyant 1980s style of the clothes and music featured on the show make it a favorite among those with a taste for all things retro.

Wow, this is amazing artwork, and I love this style; it's really reminiscent of 80's rock culture. I honestly don't see well-done retro character designs often these days, especially like this! I will be checking your stuff out on youtube!

 

Thank you for sharing! I'd like to see more art from you!

Added some text to the Misfits drawing and did a few new sketches. I've started a new "Duets" series of Jem drawings. "Duets" instead of "duo" being that Jem is musical.

no wonder why your username is Jemboy haha, I saw part of the first episode and it felt wrong, it's not a bad cartoon, I love the animation, and the characters are very realistic, it's just, it's old, like vintage old, that's not a bad thing, but to me it's weird, I don't know how to explain it though, but nonetheless I want to watch more episodes haha

 

are these from 2012 or from 1998, I have to say, that you captured the escense of the characters very well

Thanks so much to you and everyone else who have paid me such nice complements. Much appreciated.

 

These latest are from 2012. I did them within the past week or two. Most within days. The cartoon's animation and style progresses over the course of the series. You'll notice a stark contrast by episode 6 in visuals. It's a really wonderful series and one that you will get heavily invested in if you keep watching. I warn you though, you WILL fall in love with the characters and the Jem universe. Once Jem hooks ya, she never lets go.

 

Here's a sketch I did today and only a true Jem fan would appreciate it or even comprehend. Totally for the hardcore. LOL!
