Description I guess I can get away with posting this now. This was a piece commisioned for a possible Terminator cartoon which never happened and seems to be now dead in the water. I haven't been able to post any new art lately because it is all commisioned so hopefully this piece won't cause any problems.

Man, i used to love the Terminator comics, was it Dark Horse that used to print them? They were really cool. Anyway, your art on them kick ass.

Thanks! This was actually art for a cartoon pitch believe it or not. I wish the cartoon happened but like most projects, it fell through.

A Terminator cartoon? Wouldn't this be a little intense for kids? I know they sell Term. toys and such, but a cartoon?

sideshowmonkey In reply to leighyoung [2005-11-06 17:20:30 +0000 UTC]

It was more of a straight to video kind of thing. More for adults like the animatrix thing.

A Terminater cartoon sounds better than another movie.
Hay there was one for Men in balck and Jumanji.
Those holywood producers dont know shit.

I worked on a lot of those franchise cartoons. I did storyboards on Men in BLack, Extreme Ghostbusters and directed some episodes of Godzilla and Starship Troopers. Its funny to see how more R-rated movies turn into cartoons than PG ones.

agentfox In reply to sideshowmonkey [2005-11-06 19:06:07 +0000 UTC]

i loved the twisted deformed style those cartoons had. especialy Jemanje.
Was it you who did that epasode of extreme ghostbusters about the horror writer whos stories come to life?
the creatures made of the deformed and mutelated victims gave me nightmares.
Its a shame how origenal kids cartoons and stories have been dumbed down. the eighties where bad but in the 90s there where some realy cool dark cartoons for kids like extreme ghostbusters and the origonal Batman animated series.
Now like the 80s the whole cartoon business is about mony making and upsetting as fiew people as possible to prevent a lawsute.
sigh
Well maybe in another ten years someone will have the balls to create a good dark scary cartoon for kids.

Yea, I agree, I was happy where cartoons were going for a bit and then they got all silly again. I sold a cartoon to Sony that has a lot of cool elements to it, I hope it gets going.

I worked on that Extreme Ghostbusters episode as a storyboard artist. It was a lot of fun to draw those guys.

they creeped me out. but what i loved is that they couldent save the old people and they died!
nobody is brave enough to show that to children anymore. KIDS WANT TO BE SCARED nomater what their parents say.

I don't think you should have any problems. It technically could fall under fanart... but since it was commission for a possible piece of the franchise, you could probably call it canon! I love the dynamic enviroment, how you've got all those endoskeletons in the foreground, the highway, erupting in action above, and the dude in the back poppin' some t-800 brains. A lot of nice movement... had the series come to fruition and takin' a cue from this style, it would have rocked, so long as it had ample action scenes like this! I love the way you handle the endoskeletons, a nice caricature of them!
