Love and Joy Come to You!

This is a drawing of a young Rusty being chased around for fun by his sisters in front of his mother and father after Christmas Dinner years ago! 
I was inspired by the "Wassail Song" created long ago by an unknown writer and/or singer. I loved how Walt Kelly, of the old Pogo comic strip, did some Christmas Season cartoons involving this part of the song. I am using the words "father" and "mother" in place of the original lyrics "master" and "mistress" because those terms are out of date by modern terms. Anyway, I just though this would be a fun and cute family Christmas drawing and Merry Christmas to you all!

Ticklish Halloween Werewolf

Giselle the witch made some stocks that she wanted to have tested for strength. She asked her friend, Bullard the werewolf, if he thought that it would be strong enough to hold him, even under extreme circumstances. He didn't think it would be strong enough to hold a werewolf, just being made of wood. She said it's stronger than it looks. Bullard took this as a challenge and asked to be put into the stocks. Giselle locked him in and she asked him to pull on it as hard as he could. Bullard laughed at the thought of it knowing that he will break it into spinters, then he tugged at it as hard as he could. To his amazement he was still held firmly into the stocks. Then he tried harder and harder and the stocks wouldn't give. Giselle asked her assistant, Renaldo the goblin, to come in and help her with her testing of the new stocks. Bullard didn't see why this was necessary, but why not. Giselle whispered in Renaldo's ear. Then she told Bullard they where going to make the ultimate test of strength to the stocks because she didn't think that he was trying hard enough so she said that she was going to try something new at the count of 3 that should put the stocks to the ultimate test. This made Bullard a bit nervous, he would be surprised if they did anything to hurt him because they are his best friends. Giselle walked out to Bullard's bound feet and Renaldo walked over to under Bullard's left arm. Giselle counted "One, two, and three!" and both her and Renaldo started tickling Bullard like crazy! "No, not that Tee! Hee! HA! HA! HA! Please! HA! HA! HA! HA! I'm very TICKLISH! Wah! HA! HA! HA! HA! I can't HA! HA! HA! HA! BREAK FREE! Giselle just laughed about the situation "Of course you can't break free, it is made of wood, but I put a spell on it! Now the stocks are as strong as titanium, even your not strong enough to bust out of this one. Me and Renaldo thought it would be fun to make you laugh at your own expense after all the jokes you been playing with us lately. True, we would never hurt you, but we wouldn't mind tickling the living $#!% out of you! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!"

Yuck Face Gator

Elizabeth Forest invited both her boyfriend, Uncle Fang, and Razortooth, despite Uncle Fang's doubts, to have dinner with her. Razortooth was looking forward to something nice and meaty, but when he found out that she was serving tofu veggie loaf with brussel sprouts and mashed potatoes he said, "Ewww! Yuck!" and just showed her what he thought of the meal! Razortooth really needs to learn some manners!

Wolverine VS The Red Hulk

Both Wolverine and the Red Hulk heard that there was nuclear missiles were planted in the woods of British Columbia, Canada and aimed at various cities in the USA! When they happen to come across each other looking for the warheads, they falsely blame each other for safe guarding the missiles and they begin to fight! The whole thing was a staged setup to get them to fight by an internet troll who sent this message to both the X-Men and Thunderbolts. There's hidden cameras out there to capture the fight and show it on Youtube!

I made this drawing for a friend who requested that I draw his favorite hero, Wolverine, fight some Marvel character so I chose the Red Hulk!

The Monster Brawl on Market Street

While visiting San Francisco, Dr. Bruce Banner started crossing the street when a car ran a red light and knocked him to the ground causing him to turn into the Hulk. The Fantastic Four, also in the city,  happened to be on a national tour and the Thing, Benjamin Grimm, decided to take a walk from his nearby hotel to Market Street when he heard a loud scream and then people running away from the area in panic! The Thing noticed the Hulk, who then picked up a now abandoned streetcar to hit him with it!

Maleficent with Rocket Raccoon and Groot

Maleficent, along with her raven Diablo,  needed more capable minions to help her with her deeds as she goes out to seek Princess Aurora! Rocket Raccoon and Groot found the perfect extra rolls more suitable for them with Walt Disney studios! Just to let you know, Rocket and Groot will not really appear in Maleficent, but there does seem to be some moving trees in the film, I saw the trailer and maybe they're relatives of Groot? Anyway, I like Maleficent as a villain so I wanted to draw her and also kind of make a sequel drawing to the one where Rocket didn't feel he fit in with Snow White!

Maleficent is set to appear in her own film titled "Maleficent" directed by Robert Stromberg on May 30, 2014 and Rocket Raccoon and Groot will appear in "Guardians of the Galaxy" directed by James Gunn on August 1, 2014!

Easter Bunny Foot Tickle

Joe and his new girlfriend, Hilda, decided to a break from hiding Easter eggs. They both sat and relaxed in the grass, then Joe laid down to relax even more and then he got the idea that he thought it would be funny to see how grossed out Hilda would be if he placed his foot on her lap! He did just that, but instead of freaking out, Hilda grabbed Joe's foot and asked "Are you ticklish Joe?" Then Joe gave a look of fright, but then he smiled "You wouldn't to that to me, it was only a joke" Then Hilda tickled Joe's foot realizing how cute his laugh was, while Joe struggled the best he could and realizing that she is much smarter and stronger than he thought she was! =:D

Raccoon in a Rain Storm

Walter's mother had a bad flu so he decided to sneak out of his house to get his mother her medicine. The power was out and he forgot to charge his phone so he couldn't call a cab or his friend Rusty to pick him up. It was raining pretty lightly when he left, but by the time he was 2/3 rds the way to the pharmacy in downtown Paw Valley, it started raining really hard! He was able to get his best friend, Rusty, who works in downtown, to drive him home.

It's in the Disney Contract Rocket Raccoon!

Now that Marvel Comics, and a great deal of their movie rights, are owned by the Walt Disney Company, The Guardians of the Galaxy film is being made there! Well, Rocket Raccoon needed a few more bucks to buy his newest Hyper Drive Laser Blast Gun so he agreed to make an appearance in Snow White 1 1/2, but he had to sign a special separate contract to appear in that film, he probably didn't pay attention to all the terms before signing and he just needs a little encouragement to get into the act by that cute little squirrel to the right! 8D

This artwork was mostly inspired by Walt Disney's Snow White and Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, which is being directed by James Gunn! Also, I've created non anthro versions of my characters Rusty, Walter, Lester, and Razortooth! 8D

Guardians of the Galaxy Super Bowl Trailer!

Everyone has been waiting patiently or otherwise for the Guardians of the Galaxy trailer, to be directed by James Gunn! Even the Guardians of the Galaxy themselves have gotten excited and, although it has been stated that there will be no such trailer for the 2014 Super Bowl, Starlord has told the rest of the Guardians otherwise and said that he could prove it! While visiting Southern California he told them that there was a secret screening location where he could show them the Super Bowl trailer before the big game! So Starlord took them on a little walk on a trail to the actual Super Bowl trailer out in some field surrounded by a few trees. It was an old boarded up, abandoned trailer home that Starlord took the liberty of spray painting the image and name of his team on along with a painted Super Bowl as part of his prank! Looking at the picture you could see the reaction of the Guardians themselves! 8D

Just to make it clear, there is not really going to be a Guardians of the Galaxy movie trailer as stated by awesome director James Gunn himself. Instead, Disney has a great deal of marketing plans coming along in the not to distant future, including a movie trailer that will blow everyone away long before the movie actually arrives!

Don't Mess with Groot!

Evil skrulls plan to attack an innocent city to expand their territory, but the Guardians of the Galaxy wont let that happen! One skrull was dumb enough to come at Groot, the tree guy, at close range so he just got captured. A number of skrulls are shooting at Groot to no effect, they're up against more than they can handle! 

I made this picture at the request of a friend from Facebook, Andrew Guevarra, during a small chat session. Also, that bright colorful thing behind Groot is a nebula, not too far from the planet that these guys are currently fighting! 8D

Year of the Raccoon

Though 2014 is the Year of the Horse in the Chinese Zodiac, it's going to be the Year of the Raccoon when it comes to the silver screen as Rocket Raccoon is to play a major roll in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy coming out on August 1, 2014 directed by awesome director James Gunn! 

I tried to make Rocket resemble Oreo Raccoon, whom Rocket's physical characteristics are modeled after,  to the best of my ability so far. The Chinese gateway in the background was pretty much modeled on the Gateway to San Francisco's Chinatown and Rocket is standing with one foot on a lucky gold coin! Gung Hay Fat Choy! 8D
