New Year's Greetings for my Friends

Some really quick art for my friend's company.

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.

The power of the decoder.


The trip to Gokarna.



Ashwin's Birthday

Damn Barbarians..

Weird Heads and Big Heads

The God Collective

I had this series of Hindu Gods for Moytoy Community but never got about coloring the characters.

Left 4 Dead | 'Smoker!"

I love killing the 'Smoker'. Sweet gratification on seeing that cloud of tar-filled smoke puffing away when he explodes.
For all you 'Smoker' lovers, read this article

Airport Authority

Working on some concept boards with a friend. It's a short story on Link (Ref: ゼルダの伝説). Poses from the boards.. enjoy!

Character Turnarounds!

Decided to just stick to the 3/4th of the character for simplicity. If the strip required specific poses, I shall scratch them out on a napkin and throw it in the bin, cause I dont want to be so anal in my approach for this personal project.

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.

Made this for a colleague.

Futurama's Head in a Jar

Good news, everybody. I have just finished watching 3 seasons of Futurama and got only one more to go. This is all thanks to you, Sean McKenzie

Just like a Bollywood Movie.

This is just a satire...

Started work on a project called "Arab in America". Directed by Nabil Abou-Harb, a SCAD film student, this film is a satire on all the stereotypes and fears circulating in America right now. (Want to know more?)
One of the scenes required a though bubble for a paranoid cop. Here are the elements that go in there.

caricatures of the famous-behind-the-scenes.

One for my Inventor Brother, Anand Karat

Thanks to my buddy, Ashwin U G for making me realise that I had not posted any reference snaps to any of these caricatures!

Something from the comments....

My Friend Krishna, is a talented Digital Comic Artist and his works and style is very inspiring. But most of all his passion and never-say-die attitude is shown all over his online tech-comic PC Weenies (since late 1998!) Crossing one of his posts from the Sketchbook Diary's Step-by-Step Toon Creation process, here is my part of the fun.

Hopefully the Last Caricature for the year

Srikanth Kapali

I have got a lot of requests this year to draw caricature and has that been fun or what?! I'm glad people are really amused with the style. Realising that I am still not really good at drawing caricatures of the opposite sex. I'm gonna make it a point to work on that a lot more on that the coming month.
