Passing the Rorschach Test

Published on by oddboxcomicsLeave a comment

When I meditate, I see these two colors (black and violet?) constantly morphing into various abstract shapes. I thought, “Hey. Why don’t I make something like that out here in the real world?” I made some scribbles and stared at them for a while. I saw a face in there, so I made an outline of what I saw. To me, it looks like a man in a parka peering around some rocks or bushes at nighttime on a hillside with a pine tree in the background. What could it mean? Nothing weird, I hope.

This is the same image in a lighter hue to better illuminate the outlines. This is what it looks like when viewed through ultrasonic binoculars. My one regret? I didn’t save an image of the colors before adding the outlines. If I had, I could’ve gotten your interpretation. But I didn’t know I was going to see a picture within the colors! Well…maybe next time.

Christmas in September

This is a caricature portrait of my brother Joey, his wife Jennifer, and their granddaughter, Everlee. This was a Christmas gift from Everlee’s mom, Autumn, to Joe and Jennifer.

I got back to basics when drawing these caricatures. Although my drawing tablet has its advantages, using just a primitive pencil and eraser on paper is much more enjoyable. I drew the faces with pencil, scanned them into Photoshop, and then created the rest of the portrait using the drawing tablet.

Would you like to give a caricature portrait to one of your loved ones this Christmas? Let me know what you want and I’ll quote you a price, then you will say, “yes or no”, then we dicker and haggle maybe, and then you say, “yes”. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

I have taken the next step in evolution by creating my first “talky”. I have animated my comic strip! The plan is to produce one per month. Enjoy the existential hijinks! At this time, only my followers here at Oddbox Comics get to see this. I have a little bit more work to do on this before I make it public on YouTube. I’m going to make a new thumbnail that parodies YouTube thumbnails. You know, a lot of sensationalistic bullcrap with plenty of arrows and red circles. Also, I plan to attach my animated ScribblePad ad.

I hope you enjoy this Exclusive Showing!
