Cheese Pirate drawings and doodles and such

[CheesePirate]

Hullo, and thank you for looking at my thread! I hope you'll like some of what you see here - I'll be posting drawings and doodles and little animations that I have made. Let me start by introducing one of my characters.

Meet Grok:

Spoiler

This is Grok. Grok is a gobl...orc. Yeah, a goblorc. Grok loves potatoes.

Here's a sketch of Grok from my cleric's journal:

That's... actually pretty good. (Especially the last one. The second one being the weakest link.)

[CheesePirate]

Thank you for the kind response, Domochevsky! The second one is from a fictional journal by a fictional character, which is why it differs in style from the others. I definitely prefer Grok in stick figure form as well.

Here are some of the forum signatures I have made for friends and random strangers over the last few years years...first, Star Wars: The Old Republic:

i love them all. lol'ed my butt off. they look great and the comics are pretty funny.

[The Succubus]

These are absolutely adorable and the strips are of a very high quality. How long did your webcomic run for?

I'm worried about what happened to Grok's friends after being tied up by the big spider.

Thank you! I still add new strips every now and then.

Here's what happened next...

[Elemental]

Yay! He got his hat and his potato back!
As well as saving the day!

Could a victory be more complete?


Also, these are all really good.

[CheesePirate]

Thank you, Elemental!

Some people in this thread asked for pirate avatars for the upcoming pirate week, and I decided to give some of the requests a try.

Grimbold wanted his avatar to have a pirate hat and maybe an earring:

Fredaintdead wanted an avatar version of a specific picture:

Dusk Eclipse wanted his existing avatar to have a specific pirate flag in the background and also an eyepatch and maybe a tricorn:

Time will show if they are happy with my attempts.

[The Succubus]

I've been wracking my brains since I first saw your comic strip as to what it reminded me off and it's just clicked. It reminds me a lot of the graphical style of Machinarium (the 2D adventure game with the little robot). Both are really delightful. ^_^

[Mrgone]

i love your comics. they crack me up. you made my day thank you.

[CheesePirate]

Thank you, guys!

Here are some facebook cover pictures I did.

I would like that, yes please,
really any cheesy scrap would do,
stinky, smelly, runny-yummy cheese,
dry and mouldy - that works too.
And if I had a real piece,
'stead of doodles scattered on the floor,
it would really put my mind at ease,
my tummy wouldn't rumble anymore.

[The Succubus]

Very rushed but the whole "being chained to a wall in a cheeseless dungeon being forced to draw for an evil feline mistress"-thing was really bugging me:

[Kurien]

I just wanted to stick my head in here to say that CheesePirate, your art is very charming --your hand drawn style is reminiscent of old childrens' picture books I might have read as a child.

[CheesePirate]

For the weekly challenge - Scandinavian theme this time: coastal Norway.

Thank you, Kurien!

So much love! Dear Succubus, thank you for cheering me up!

I finished another pirate avatar:

By which I mean, the hat(and general pirate get-up, if possible), the sword and the pistol. Bonus points for parrot, but it's neccessary or anything.

One pretty important details, which you can probably spot on my current avatar are the blue lines on her face. Those represent her dragonmark. I don't expect you to draw it in ful, just ad a line here and there on her face, like Kris did, so it's obvious.

Edit: Here's a bigger version that Mordokai just requested, it doesn't quite look like the smaller one since I did a lot of touching up and a few bigger changes after shrinking it - this big version has been through some quick and dirty edits to add major changes made to the finished avatar:

CheesePirate, your art is incredibly cute.

Someone who knows Machinarium! Yay!

[Zar Peter]

I absolutely adore this art! Great.

Is there a link to the webcomic or isn't it for free? I already love Grok and his adventures.

[CheesePirate]

Thank you both!

It's for free, and can be found here: http://cheesepirate.com/comics/index.html - it started out as an "Everquest II" (an MMORPG by SOE) comic some years ago but hopefully those of you who haven't played that game can still get some entertainment out of most of the strips.

I've been away from my computer for a few days, but I made some pen and paper drawings for my youngest niece, who is almost 5 and likes to colour in the things I draw:

These are absolutely lovely. I especially love the small interactions in the last two drawings. Composition and movement are pretty great, too.

Read; moah! Moah!

[CheesePirate]

Thank you Glass Mouse!

Here's a drawing for the challenge - The Hunt:

Spoiler

(Might add some colour here and there when I'm back home)

[Elemental]

Upon seeing that, my mind started wondering what you'd bait a trap with in order to catch cheese...
I mean... If you could trick it into falling into a hole in the ground, it wouldn't be able to escape!

In other words, that's a really fun picture.

[CheesePirate]

Thank you Elemental! If one of my drawings makes someone's mind wander off and spend some time exploring silly places, nothing makes me happier!

It needed some colour, I think:

Spoiler

...ok, make that one colour.
