That's me. I really like zombie stuff, pretty much every type of video game, drawing things (It's been like six months), play music in a band, and am a geek. Very much so, in fact. Also, I drew the Maxx that I'm using in my header. It's going to stay there until I hit some inspiration for some video game artwork.

My job is to make the computers and electronics at my work rise again from the dead. It's alright, as jobs go. Of course, since I'm heavily into computers, I either have or have had every major type of personal computer known to man... so if you ever want to discuss computer things, I can probably have a lengthy conversation about it.

I live in the mostly sunny Central Florida, and have for about 16 years now. I'm pretty sure I'm too old to be playing games anymore, but I really don't see that ending any time soon and hope it never will.

I have a gaming PC (C2D E6550 2.33Ghz/8800GTS 512), PS2, Dreamcast, N64, DS, PSP, Xbox 360 and PS3, but I have owned an Odyssey2, Aquarius, ColecoVision, NES, SNES, Genesis, GameBoy (as well as Advance and SP), PS1, Xbox, and a Wii as well. They've all either been broken, sold, or have been grudgingly traded in for the "next best thing" due to lack of funds to buy them outright.

I read fanatically, and even though I have plenty of different books there are several that are read over and over again. Pretty much anything that William Gibson or Terry Pratchett have done are my favorites, but there are plenty of writers that still get my attention. To be certain, I'm happy Rhianna Pratchett is writing for videogames.

A quick sketch idea for Mr. Destructoid.
vonneuton | 8:13 PM on 11.15.2008 16 comments


So I caught a few minutes of Iron Man tonight on TV and I got to thinking about how awesome it would have been to have Mr. Destructoid instead of the Iron Man. However, it wouldn't have worked so well with his blocky nature, so I sketched out and Iron Man style helmet real quick and colored it just to see what it would look like. Don't expect much for ten minutes of sketching. Here it is:



I know it's not much, and I used some BS Photoshop effects just because I was having trouble quickly giving it any kind of texture and shading. But would anyone interested in seeing me actually spend some time reworking him completely, comic book style? This is the last thing I drew that was comic style was a few years ago, but this is to give you an idea of what kind of drawing I mean:



Thanks, everyone who responds.

@Heretic: Thank you... now I'm all sticky.

@Scrixx: Tell you the absolute truth, my friend does a lot of work with metal and I thought about it briefly. I may have him do one and then have a contest.

@Fetusmilk, Taumptytears: Hell yes. I really loved when they did the Maxx on MTV.

@Ronburgundy: If you tell me what dTunes is, sure.

@Mxyzptlk: Yes, sir! Hopefully it will take less than a week.
