Venture Brothers Season 3 Rules

I caught the premier last week and it did not disappoint. Actually, the premier was the Sunday before last, and I'm already late with my post. Still haven't seen last night's episode, which I hope to have time to watch tonight, and will post that episodes designs next. I'm starting this post with one of my favorite designs from Shadowman 9: In the Cradle of Destiny, the notorious Betty Rage:







OK, so, I have to point out that sometimes we get to make up our own characters for parties, etc. and of the next two, Jackson HATED the Termitator (pretty much hates all things 80's, see also my rejected Early Monarch Costume), so it was NOT used in the show. But, he did like...

...Unicornelius, so he WAS used in the BG party sequence (I think).


So, I've mentioned my becoming "the car guy"on the show, and I've also mentioned how that pretty much makes me the best "car tracer", ha ha. But I've grown to love it, and this one especially. Creating the proper designs for the vehicles of the show depends entirely upon finding the right car at the right angle. Jackson usually has a specific car in mind, but I think this one had some leeway as the year was not specified. I find the right car and get approval, and then do a quick drawing on top to get things going. Then I tighten up the drawing...
And then I ink it with the path tools in Photoshop.

Wow. Unicornelius is hilarious/brilliant. If I got drunk a little too close to a tattoo parlor, that's what I would have permanently inked on my lower back. The decision would fill me with regret and amusement instead of just regret.

Everything looks fantastic. Looking forward to seeing more designs!

I absolutely love the Bettie Rage designs!! Too bad the Termitator won't be used in the show, it looks like it would've fit perfectly inside the Venture universe. I can't wait to see what you will come up with next...

those designs on the adult costumes are pretty cool! it got me inspired to make one so i could wear something to the Comic Con on august in Chicago.

I want to do Bettie Rage as a costume to wear to Dragon*Con. I'm uncertain of the colors that make up her outfit. Is the cape/tights pink or purple? and is the rest black? I would like to be as accurate as possible. :)

great luck on your costume! you'd have to go watch the episode bc i can't remember. these designs are created and then sent to the color department so they often end up with different colors than what we sketch them with.

thanks for all the kind words :D
