Three Diggas and a Mallu walk into a bar. (updates)

These were three comics I had made for close friends, sometime late last year.
The humor is very colloquial. The character development posts can be read here and here.

Lost in space (since 1994 because his cars' ignition blew up on his way back from work thus causing a nano-space-time vortex which threw him out there), home-sick Fred is now battling his way back to the times.

Lateral Collateral on the App store!

Been a super good day for all American Football fans! Two of my games have been published. Lateral Collateral, a big favorite on the NFLRZ has now been ported to the Iphone. Now you can spend endless hours on that international flight lateraling the ball and getting your butt kicked by your opponents. Fast and fun game. (Click here to go to the Apple App store)



The other game which I have made that has been green-lit is "Sprint Attack". It's a take on Super Sprint, with football players pushing opponents off the tracks, picking up bonuses and dodging Big Red Blitz Bots. Its a well made game, have fun playing it here at the NFLRZ

Three Diggas and a Mallu walk into a bar..

I had always wanted to do this comic strip for my good ol' friends Jakie, Ronny, Ashwin and the rest from Bangalore. Over the week I salvaged some old photos and sketched out caricatures as a start for the comic strip tentatively named "Three Diggas and a Mallu walk into a Bar". (It was an old joke that we always played on Ashwin, a true-blue Kannadiga boy, rather the only Digga in the gang).
The strip contains a lot of inside jokes, so I'm contemplating about posting them here on the blog as the humor is very colloquial and would not make too much sense to anyone who weren't with us for the last fifteen years.

This may be one of the last installments of Car Designs that draws inspiration from one awesome indie game studio, The Behemoth. Below are three new pieces, two of them using the Behemoth Chicken logo riding a Radio Flyer and a Wooden cart (refer Castle Crashers) and the third one is the Troll Boss ride.







What's the magic formula to come up with silly designs, you ask? Simple, Nocturnal drinking of Redbull and Alcohol.

It was impolite for Emily Post to stated that there should be no color around high tea. For a pinch of reality, she should have lived on an island. Mannerism or politeness ceases to exist in solitude.

Playing with words

My friend and 3d Rigger Extraordinaire Vijay Sarathi and myself were pitching ideas across when we hit upon a funny one called "Quick Gun Poly Gun". A wild wild Polygonal character who was a clumsy draw but got his point through. While developing the character as we were discussing this other character popped up.

Francisco Varken - II



I believe that the perfect name for any PI. Francisco Varken. I just so love this character's Surname. After a lot of storyboarding, and model sheets with the previous character. I realised that he has not been designed correctly. Something is really missing from the first character. I made a rough turnaround, and he does not not look good from the other angles. So here is my second try at Francisco. and I believe this is how he should look. Goofy face, the long arms for digging out things, the very large hat to hide him while he turns the underbelly of the mean streets. and the pupil-less eyes. Yeah that's good..
Step a side Dick Tracy

Francisco Varken

I have this assignment to do for 'Storyboard and Previz.' class, where we were all give three words- an Animal, a Color and a Name. and based off that we are supposed to create a character, write a short story, do all the research based on that genre which most suited that character. So I landed up with a Purple Aardvark whose name is Francisco. And since Aardvarks arr like anteaters, they have long faces, long ears and are nocturnal things that's roam the streets at night, generally hiding under the street lamp. which means that Francisco obviously wears a cap, well... may be a hat, like a Private Eye, may be he should just be a Private eye, and that film genre is something I want to explore. May be Francisco's full name is "Francisco Varken!". Varken meaning Pig in Afrikaans/Deutsch and since he is nocturnal, may be he's a blind guy. and since he has a BIG back , I think a huge coat will go well on him. So here we have Francisco Varken, PI, works only in the night and is broke like every other PI that ever roamed those streets. But This purple dude has one disadvantage and that is he is BLIND! yeah , Blind as a Varken from any part of the world.

Now every PI needs some kinda side kick, a foil, a fall out guy, an assistant, a pretty lady who is a lot dumber than the him. who is generally the surrogate audience who Varken can talk to as he is solving the crime. Frank can also have a side kick like a cat, that lounges about his office. may be that's a better plan. keep her in the office.
So far this is all that I developed with respect to the assignment. Let me see how much more can I dig up by tomorrow night.
