The Martian Queen was an original character that we created for the “Duck Dodgers” series to be Marvin’s boss. We costumed her in a vaguely Cleopatra-like outfit, to complement Marvin’s Roman style armor, and the classic look of Mars. We were delighted to have Tia Carrere join the cast to play Queen Tyr'ahnee, who quickly became a favorite of the show.

Marko, David, and Paul's earrings, with pictures from various costume/prop auctions. Marko's is a black skull with red eyes on a slight drop chain (it's now missing the hook, but it appears to have been on your average earring hook); David's is a few loops of wire-wrapping with a bit of black leather hanging from it; Paul's is a silver skull charm with a silver dagger hanging from it.

this is the only pair of Star's earrings that have been auctioned off. they're upside-down textured silver hearts with blue and red beaded dangles that end in silver star and moon charms. I'm relatively certain she wears several different pairs throughout the movie, but these are the only ones that have surfaced (and when anyone makes "Star earrings", they're these, just because we have pictures of them!)

Dwayne's earring has never shown up for auction to my knowledge, but we get a decent look at it in these photos. it's some sort of animal tooth or horn in a silver setting.

there are no good pictures of Michael's earring. I'm serious, if you have one PLEASE send it to me. it's a coin, but other than that I have no idea.

Can't afford art school?

After seeing post like this 👇

And this gem 👇

As well as countless of others from the AI generator community. Just talking about how "inaccessible art" is, I decided why not show how wrong these guys are while also helping anyone who actually wants to learn.

Here is the first one ART TEACHERS! There are plenty online and in places like youtube.

📺Here is my list:

Proko (Free, mostly teaches anatomy and how to draw people. But does have art talks and teaches the basics.)

Marc Brunet (Free but he does have other classes for a cheap price. Use to work for Blizzard and teaches you everything)

Aaron Rutten (free, tips about art, talks about art programs and the best products for digital art)

BoroCG (free, teaches a verity of art mediums from 3D modeling to digital painting. As well as some tips that can be used across styles)

Jesse J. Jones (free, talks about animating)

Jesus Conde (free, teaches digital painting and has classes in Spanish)

Mohammed Agbadi (free, he gives some advice in some videos and talks about art)

Ross Draws (free, he does have other classes for a good price. Mostly teaching character designs and simple backgrounds.)

SamDoesArts (free, gives good advice and critiques)

Drawfee Show (free, they do give some good advice and great inspiration)

The Art of Aaron Blaise ( useful tips for digital art and animation. Was an animator for Disney. Mostly nature art)

Bobby Chiu ( useful tips and interviews with artist who are in the industry or making a living as artist)

Sinix Design (has some tips on drawing people)

Winged canvas (art school for free on a verity of mediums)

Bob Ross (just a good time, learn how to paint, as well as how too relax when doing art. "there are no mistakes only happy accidents", this channel also provides tips from another artist)

Scott Christian Sava (Inspiration and provides tips and advice)

Pikat (art advice and critiques)

Drawbox (a suggested cheap online art school, made of a community of artist)

Skillshare (A cheap learning site that has art classes ranging from traditional to digital. As well as Animation and tutorials on art programs. All under one price, in the USA it's around $34 a month)

Human anatomy for artist (not a video or teacher but the site is full of awesome refs to practice and get better at anatomy)

Second part BOOKS, I have collected some books that have helped me and might help others.

📚Here is my list:

The "how to draw manga" series produced by Graphic-sha. These are for manga artist but they give great advice and information.

"Creating characters with personality" by Tom Bancroft. A great book that can help not just people who draw cartoons but also realistic ones. As it helps you with facial ques and how to make a character interesting.

"Albinus on anatomy" by Robert Beverly Hale and Terence Coyle. Great book to help someone learn basic anatomy.

"Artistic Anatomy" by Dr. Paul Richer and Robert Beverly Hale. A good book if you want to go further in-depth with anatomy.

"Directing the story" by Francis Glebas. A good book if you want to Story board or make comics.

"Animal Anatomy for Artists" by Eliot Goldfinger. A good book for if you want to draw animals or creatures.

"Constructive Anatomy: with almost 500 illustrations" by George B. Bridgman. A great book to help you block out shadows in your figures and see them in a more 3 diamantine way.

"Dynamic Anatomy: Revised and expand" by Burne Hogarth. A book that shows how to block out shapes and easily understand what you are looking out. When it comes to human subjects.

"An Atlas of animal anatomy for artist" by W. Ellenberger and H. Dittrich and H. Baum. This is another good one for people who want to draw animals or creatures.

Etherington Brothers, they make books and have a free blog with art tips.

📝As for Supplies, I recommend starting out cheap, buying Pencils and art paper at dollar tree or 5 below. If you want to go fancy Michaels is always a good place for traditional supplies. They also get in some good sales and discounts. For digital art, I recommend not starting with a screen art drawing tablet as they are usually more expensive.

For the Best art Tablet I recommend either Xp-pen, Bamboo or Huion. Some can range from about 40$ to the thousands.

💻As for art programs here is a list of Free to pay.

Clip Studio paint ( you can choose to pay once or sub and get updates. Galaxy, Windows, macOS, iPad, iPhone, Android, or Chromebook device. )

Procreate ( pay once for $9.99 usd, IPAD & IPHONE ONLY)

Blender (for 3D modules/sculpting, animation and more. Free)

PaintTool SAI (pay but has a 31 day free trail)

Krita (Free)

mypaint (free)

FireAlpaca (free)

Aseprite ($19.99 usd but has a free trail, for pixel art Windows & macOS)

Drawpile (free and for if you want to draw with others)

IbisPaint (free, phone app ONLY)

Medibang (free, IPAD, Android and PC)

NOTE: Some of these can work on almost any computer like Clip and Sai but others will require a bit stronger computer like Blender. Please check their sites for if your computer is compatible.

So do with this information as you will but as you can tell there are ways to learn how to become an artist, without breaking the bank. The only thing that might be stopping YOU from using any of these things, is YOU.

I have made time to learn to draw and many artist have too. Either in-between working two jobs or taking care of your family and a job or regular school and chores. YOU just have to take the time or use some time management, it really doesn't take long to practice for like an hour or less. YOU also don't have to do it every day, just once or three times a week is fine.

Hope this was helpful and have a great day.

cobigail's is the least detailed because i had to ummm make that shit up from various 1940s tractors but i was looking at a chrysler so we can all pretend its red <3

During a career of more than 50 years, [Paul] Bacon designed covers for more than 6,500 books, including “Slaughterhouse-Five” by Kurt Vonnegut, “Ragtime” by E. L. Doctorow, “The Power Broker” by Robert Caro, “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” by Ken Kesey, “The Andromeda Strain” by Michael Crichton, “Jaws” by Peter Benchley and “Shogun,” by James Clavell. He is widely credited with pioneering what is known in the industry as the “Big Book Look” — typically a bold, minimalist design featuring prominent lettering and a small conceptual image. He did all of his designs, including the lettering, by hand.

One of his earliest and most imitated cover designs, for Meyer Levin’s 1956 novel, “Compulsion,” is composed of mostly gray blank space, with two small red figures running on the horizon, and a prominent title in ragged hand-drawn lettering.

“That jacket is almost 60 years old, and if you saw it on a shelf now it would jump right out at you,” said Peter Mendelsund, a book cover designer and associate art director for Alfred A. Knopf, who counts Mr. Bacon among his influences. “He directs your eye and shows you where to look. He shows you what’s important.”

Robert Gottlieb, a former editor in chief at Simon & Schuster and later at Knopf, said Mr. Bacon displayed more creative flexibility than many other artists and designers.

“He didn’t see himself as a sensitive artist; he was there to serve,” said Mr. Gottlieb, who worked with Mr. Bacon for many years. “If you rejected the first one, he was happy to do a 10th one. We worked and worked until it was right.”

The graphic designer Chip Kidd said that Mr. Bacon’s visual take on “Jaws” — a stark black cover with the outline of a massive shark rising from the bottom and a female swimmer floating above — was an especially powerful influence on his own work. He noted that it shows “just how much you can entice the reader on the content by using minimal form.”

Would you be possibly able to do a costume breakdown for either (or both, if you have time!) the original CB played by Michael Staniforth, or the Bochum 1992-93 era CB?

Let's have a look at London CB! I want to take a look at the few glimpses we get of CB later in the run too, if you don't mind, they're pretty rare to see!

So what are we looking at for the very first Caboose? Well, compared to later versions, we're leaning more into the American classic baseball vibes - this guy at Casey's Corner in Disneyworld is showing us so many of the same elements! John Napier wove together strands of "train" and recognisable archetypes from normal life to create costumes that tell us so much about the characters - CB is giving us All-American Wholesomeness! the moustache may seem like an interesting choice to us now, but it's absolutely in keeping with the source.

One of the things I love about him is that he's brick-red, a dusty red. We know it's not that the photos have faded, look at him next to Electra, even the candy-apple red wheel on his belt contrasts his dusty jacket! He definitely feels more like an older, sun-bleached freight, compared to the glossy Electrics. You can believe this caboose has been around a while...

On thing to remember is that most of the good pics we have are from the press call before the show opened, and before he got any shoulder boxes at all. It's more apparent in some other characters that their costumes were unfinished- I mean, the Pearl saga for example... but it's also relevant here. The photo above is from once the show opened, and while it's not the full realisation of the design, he's got SOMETHING going on with his shoulders as intended! Of course they needed photos ready before the press night, but it's a shame they didn't save the full show photography until after the costumes were finalised.

Yes, but practically, how does this costume go together? Oddly! So he basically just consists of a jacket and the leggings (plus hat, belt, gloves, kneepads...) Michael Staniforth had elaborate, padded leggings with the stripes enhanced with foam. Bobby Collins, Paul Reeves, everyone else seems to have had more simple leggings without the raised detail. That level of detail is common in the German costumes, not so much London, especially early on.

Michael Staniforth also appears to have had two belts? In the photo of him with Electra and Volta, with the jacket untucked over the belt, his belt has silver trim, matching the German version. All the other photos show plain black with the central red wheel.

His jacket is, apparently, just the one piece, which I would love to know the logic behind. The body is padded, there's a front zip hidden under the front panel - then there's excess fabric to try to tuck under the belt and hold it in place! It's meant to be three dimensional and bold, but they clearly hadn't come up with an effective way to layer the costume pieces yet. Similarly his arms are meant to appear to be short sleeves like the baseball player, over fitted black sleeves, yet they chose not to actually make the costume in two layers and the short sleeves, black under-sleeve, and details that appear to be the gauntlet of the gloves are all one piece. Was it simpler to make that way? I can't imagine it was much easier to wear and dress than if the actor had been wearing a unitard with grey body and legs and black arms, and the gloves had the gauntlets attached. And as we see in a couple of these pics including the press photo - it didn't stay in place.

Later years... the shoulders get a bit weird. What started for Michael Staniforth as a black seam between shoulder and body that would have included a gusset for more movement, and anchorage for the shoulder pads, became a full on separation of the arms from the body.

This press photo shows a really nice clean version of the costume, with the strong diagonal on the front panel. We got a couple of pics on the wiki of covers wearing this version in 1991-1992, but nothing more on this particular version!

There's this one costume worn by William Adams in 1991 for sure, where the front panel is much more prominent, and the sleeves aren't really related to the jacket at all! But we also have William wearing a costume much more in keeping with earlier versions - major armpit gussets, but a square front there.

I'm not aware of any confirmed "Final Farewell CB and Belle" footage or images, so I don't know for sure, but I assume that William Adams' bold front version was the last CB costume worn in London. I hope there was some sort of aknowledgement the last time those roles were played, before the new show took over completely!
