Welcome to the NEW BLOBlog!!

You guys, loyal fans and followers. Old is new again, so now I'm necro-ing the old HeroBlog and respawning it! That's really the theme of the whole blog, and in large part of my superhero art stuff in general: what's old is worthwhile, so why not re-examine it, revamp it, recreate it anew?

So here we'll go, with a new blog full of new stuff and what it has to do with old stuff. We're just past the 17th anniversary of my creation of Cloudman, world's greatest hero and maker of clouds. Hero BLOB (née BLOB) came mere months later. I've created content for these fellows, their friends, and their worlds ever since, and there's a lot to look at!

I'll be posting either new art with descriptions of the old stuff it's drawn from or old art with descriptions of the new stuff I have planned based on it! What could be better or more self-indulgent? So hang on and stay for the ride, people. This is the stuff I create and care about, the world I live in. This is the NEW BLOBlog!

Please see my NEW BLOG from now on!

Dear Friends,

I'm switching from this blog to a new one-- www.schedel.tumblr.com . Follow the link for all of your favourite old posts and all forthcoming new posts concerning BLOB and Schedel!!

BLOBniverse 2012 Preview Time!

Evil Baby - 2012



DAI-BLOB - 2012


Dear BLOBites,

It's a busy weekend for BLOBniverse stuff! I've just scanned in the (as yet uncolored/uncoloured) previews for two upcoming Schedel Luitjen works! Both of these won't be around 'till 2012, so these are just here to drum up your interest!

Evil Baby tells the story of a criminal mastermind who becomes a child (for reasons revealed only in the story), while DAI-BLOB is the ultimate team-up of every BLOB ever to exist (so far) in one giant battle against the force of nature known as DAI-BLOB.

For continuity pundits out there, DAI-BLOB takes place after BLOB 12: Sinners in the Hands of an Angry BLOB. That's why BLOB has his nose back (OOPS SPOILERS). Look forward to them!

Ciao

Hero BLOB vs Obakemono!

Dear Friends,
A special Saturday-night (or early Sunday, in some time zones) present for you is ready! It's an oldie (but a goodie), a story written in either 2006 or 2007 (I think 2006) and originally presented on a now-defunct BLOB fan page! That's right, it's the legendary, the unthinkably rare, the virtually unread 'Hero BLOB vs. Obakemono'!!!

I'd almost forgotten this story existed, until I was drawing the Cavalcade of Villainy drawing the other day. Now, I've dug it out and re-edited it (taking away the neuter pronoun for Obakemono and dulling down his curse words a bit to squeeze him more tightly into BLOB continuity), and I'm releasing it here for you!!!

I'm pretty sure this is the first crossover of BLOB with a non-created-by-Schedel character, in this instance 'Obakemono', a character created and owned by Nicolas Nadeau, my oftimes crimefighting and writing/acting partner.

Obakemono has a long history of crossing over with Cloudman, creating a humorous dynamic contrast between Obakemono's serious, down-to-earth darkness and Cloudman's hilarious, fun-loving light! But now, it's a whole other deal to deal with BLOB. Check it out! It's a short story, only 7 pages long.

Download it HERE!! (I uploaded it to MegaUpload, and I tested it to make sure it's correct)

Love and BLOBbiness!

Schedel

Hero BLOB's Cavalcade of Villainy

Well, would you look at this... for a special Friday treat, it's the entire Cavalcade of Villainy, the whole range of BLOB villains still alive or at large. Feast your eyes, get excited, because this is just a shade of what's to come still this year for BLOB fans! Don't recognize them all? That's understandable, really. One of them is from the old BLOB vs. Obakemono story, so almost nobody has seen him before. Anyway, enjoy!

Hero BLOB for President 2 in color/colour!!

Feast your eyes and eat your ears; the new, color/colour version of Hero BLOB for President is here! In episode 2, BLOB asks that age-old question: WHERE IS IT? WHERE'S THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE???

Enjoy! I'm thinking Friday will be a good day for new releases. Any thoughts?

Ciao

Hero BLOB for President... now in COLOR/COLOUR!!!

Maybe you have been hoping to see a bit more colorful interpretation of Hero BLOB's adventures? Well, here's your chance: BLOB for President part 1 in COLOR or COLOUR !!!!!!

Enjoy this adventure of Hero BLOB as he takes on the race for President! You saw it here first!!

CLOUDMAN in color/colour!!

Dear Folks,

Here's a very quickly colored/coloured Cloudman illustration, as previously shared on this very same page! Basic coloration like this is really not too hard, but making it look better would be much more difficult. Any advice? Compared, say, to the Hero BLOB Christmas illustration below, would you prefer this style or the other? I'm still experimenting here.

Anyway, I did some very fun new drawings in the last couple of days, which I may share soon. Some of them are currently top-secret, though, as they concern upcoming radio play projects!!

Also, the word of the month is:

GBLEAHBLEAHBLEAH

Thanks for keeping an eye on this space!

Merry BLOBmas!

Yo, Weirdos!

Sorry it's been so long! I've been away, translating Latin for a new job!! Hooray!!!

But don't think I've let the BLOBniverse down here-- I'm still working on A LOT of stuff for you!

Here's a little thing I finished today: it's the BLOB as Santa Claus illustration from the first BLOB Christmas Special, only now it's in color/colour!! I used a new software I got for free, called 'GIMP', to colorize it! Now I can make all my BLOB illustrations look like ClipArt! HOORAY!! Hope you like it!!!!!!!

Geblablabla,

Schedel L.

STRIX Update! Plus Illustration!!

Dear Goons and Goonettes,

So I'm still working on my dissertation. Probably will be until midday Friday, when it's due. But I thought I'd share with you the illustration I'm including in my (100-page long) Supplement to the Dissertation. It's a title page for my edition of Gianfrancesco Pico della Mirandola's STRIX!!! Enjoy!

FATMAN.

This is one of my favorite illustrations ever of Fatman. Just a little gift to you; I was looking at it to make myself feel better about life in this stormy time of dissertation and personal psychic/lunatic problems. Hopefully, he'll bring you a little joy too.

With uncharacteristic sincerity,

Schedel

DISSERTATION TIME

Ugh. It's 5:35 and I'm nowhere near going to bed. I've had to do and re-do this work over and over again, and it's only supplemental. I hope it's appreciated. I feel like my head is exploding. But here's something for yu all anyway, while I work and work and work and work...
