I caused a game cover to change...

...what have YOU done today?

One Minute Cobain

Another one minute drawing, this time of Nirvana's Kurt Cobain. It was slightly more difficult than One Minute House, but at least I had time for the neck this time.

New ImPokédex - Grimer

Between Japanese TR Grimer's wandering eyes and Ash's Muk constantly violating Professor Oak in the anime, this is an extremely perverted evolution line. The impostor versions are slightly less so.

One Minute House

In an attempt to get back to roots of drawing, which was what this whole blog was supposed to be about in the first place, I threw myself down a challenge - to draw Dr. Gregory House in one minute. At the one minute mark, I stop drawing, then sign and upload it. (For full disclosure, the "it's not lupus" was not part of the one minute either.)

New ImPokédex - Seel

Finally, a halfway normal looking Pokémon that I don't even have to color!

Jimmy T Dancing and Pointing

Today's drawing is of Jimmy T from WarioWare, aka Disco Waluigi. I have a sticker of him from the original game's instruction manual on my Game Boy Advance SP, except with the green afro (picture to the right). Customizable afro stickers are a huge selling point when I'm in the market for a new game, but it's something they never mention in the reviews. I swear, once this "draw something every day" thing gets old, I'm changing this blog to a game review site that rates games based solely on their instruction manuals.

New ImPokédex - Doduo

It can only get better from here, right? Well, until I get to Weezing... the ImPokédex is quickly becoming my personal hell.

New ImPokédex - Farfetch'd

Well, it was a good run; 3 updates in a row without any ImPokédex entries. This is the first one without any evolved forms. While it's not the first with angry eyebrows, it's the first with an angry unibrow. Truly an update full of milestones.

Peewee's Bathroom

You'd think if I was running late on BTI it'd at least be for something good. Instead you get Peewee Herman's talking toilet. Sorry.

Obligatory Splash Woman Fanart

Ok, Mega Man 9 is out this week, and this blog tends to do a lot of video game fanart. As such, I feel it necessary to jump on the "let's all draw Splash Woman" bandwagon. On a side-note, why is she called Splash Woman if she's completely underwater at all times? It makes it a bit difficult to splash.

This Week's Comic - Wario Land: Strangle It!

So Nintendo's releasing a new game this week in which a heavy-set man in yellow runs around violently shaking everything in sight. The comic pretty much wrote itself.

New ImPokédex - Magnemite

Don't get me wrong, I like Magnemite, but I REALLY did not want to do this entry. Expect similar reluctance whenever I come across any future D/P Pokémon.

Ulala's New Gig

Why the HELL is this the first I'm hearing about Space Channel 5's Ulala being in the Wii version of Samba De Amigo? It even has Mexican Flyer as one of the songs! I guess now I have to get irrationally excited about the game now...

New ImPokédex - Slowpoke

Looks like this will be the last reasonable-looking entry in a while; I've got Magnemite and Doduo in the near future...

Does Everybody Know What Time It Is?

I always liked cartoon plaid, just because of how horrible it is. This is a tribute.

New ImPokédex - Ponyta

Nothing justifies making cats look like horses and setting them on fire. Not even Doom music.

New ImPokédex - Geodude

As the regulars to BTI know, this is the part below the drawing where I make fun of the ImPokédex entry and say what certain ones look like. Impostor Geodude looks like a really bad Minineko statue, and Impostor Golem looks like a Nyanko in a pile of rocks (not exactly the most edible one).

Video Game Enemy Chart

I was thinking today about how many video game characters follow the same dynamics. For the most part, it occurred to me that a lot of the protagonists in games have 2 enemies that follow eerily similar patterns - there's the evil mastermind antagonist, who is to be a threat to society as a whole and is fat and/or has crazy hair, and there's a slightly lesser one who seems to just mess with the protagonist for some reason, even if it's just to prove that they're better. The latter usually looks a lot like the protagonist, but dresses cooler. This is about as common as "evil clone of the protagonist," which is a chart for another day. Full chart is after the jump.

New ImPokédex - Tentacool

It's not what it looks like. Well, unless you thought Impostor Tentacool looks like Cobra Commander - then it's exactly what it looks like.

Rock Band 2 Get!

Sorry about the crappy drawing today, but as the drawing and title may imply, I got Rock Band 2 today, and will be spending a majority of the day playing it in lieu of drawing, eating, and contributing to society. My gamertag's Kyattsuai, so let me know if you also found a retailer kind enough to break street date and want to start up a band.

New ImPokédex - Bellsprout

This was a tough one, since none of these ones really have bodies, and Victreebel is upside down. Somehow I made them all cats, though.

New ImPokédex - Machop

Part of me died inside after I drew Impostor Machamp.

Hypnotized Dwight

Today's drawing is of Dwight Schrute and little bobble-headed Dwight Schrute.

New ImPokédex - Abra

Abra was the only shining Pokémon that I ever encountered in any of the games, and that was back in Silver. Sparkly bastard cleaned up the Pika Cup in Stadium 2.

New ImPokédex - Poliwag

Why do all these G/S alternate evolutions always look completely different from the rest of the family, and are green?

New ImPokédex - Growlithe

For the longest time, I thought Growlithe and Arcanine were tigers. In all fairness, I had the Blue edition, so I was never too knowledgeable about the Red-exclusive Pokémon. Of course, now we all know that Raikou is the tiger (that's right, those 3 are cats, prove me wrong).

Bears' Wearhouse

This is an intaglio print that I made earlier in the year, part of a series of four. I've since learned printmaking and learned to hate printmaking. Bears' Wearhouse represents the struggle between man and nature that continues to this day.

New ImPokédex - Mankey

It's not an evolution, Impostor Mankey is just upset to be in shackles.

Sorry about all the ImPokédex stuff lately, I've been meaning to take more pictures of those big drawings I mentioned earlier in the week, and I'm also working on a secret project I know you'll love.

New ImPokédex - Psyduck

Haha, it's Impostor Minin-Ech-o!

Laughing Zombie

It may surprise people who know the Kyattsuai who draws Mario webcomics or dresses ill-formed cats up like Pokémon that I also do drawings on more complex media than a 500 x 500 digital canvas. This is a drawing that I did earlier in the year on an approximately 2' square of wood. Like with most of my larger drawings, I throw pretty much any material I can find on it - pastels, spraypaint, colored pencil, conte crayon, gesso, and probably a few others. The pose of the dapper fellow on the left is based on one of the Heaven Smiles from Killer 7 (I figured I'd point that out before someone calls me out on it). The full picture can be seen after the jump, then click that one or the thumbnail on the left to see the huge version. There has to be a better way to do this.

New ImPokédex - Meowth

Look! It's a cat that looks like a Pokémon that looks like a cat! I'm going to capture it...

Mallow's Family Reunion

Today's drawing is not so much a reminder that Super Mario RPG is out on Virtual Console today, but rather that almost every character in that game is made out of spheres. You don't see that kind of geometry in games today, and probably with good reason.

i has a candys

Milky Way Midnight Dark is the best candy bar ever, and the only one that's even better if you eat it at night (they're not paying me to say that... yet). They're so good that I ended up eating one before I got to take this picture. 

But yeah, the store had them for 33 cents each, so that's why I have so many.
