#psychobilly style

[werifesteria-art]

So, I'm about to embark on making this big old thick t-shirt into a psychobilly style vest.

While watching The Osbournes Want To Believe.

My plan is to cut it into a vest, add a lapel, buttons, and pockets, and paint a picture on the back of it, and collect horror/halloween/spooky/B-Movie related pins and patches and basically just accessorize the living hell out of the thing.

Already got the lapel made and the buttons bought. (Visual test below)

Doing some fraying tests on a bit of the sleeve to know what I'm gonna do to the arm holes.

WISH ME LUCK DANG IT

Wario only make him rockabilly (with a pinch of psychobilly thrown in for good measure.)

One more in my series of rockabilly-inspired Mario characters. Not the best in the series, but I was contractually obligated to add him to the line-up! 😄

PSYCHOBILLY DOODLE!

Nothing's better than the way you bat your eyelashes at me❤️

I’ve been following your art for a long time and I was just wondering what do you use as inspiration for your stuff, and do you have tips for people who kind of want a cartoony stretchy and very expressive art style (sorry if this is too much to ask I just love your stuff! Also what do you use to draw your stuff)

Thank you!!! Nice to see long-time followers :3

When I was first learning how to draw cartoons I bought the book Cartoon Animation by Preston Blair. It's a really good source that covers all the basics + some animation. When I started animating as a high school freshman I copied his walk cycles before trying anything on my own

This is a very old mini guide I made for a friend on how I push poses so the art's a little outdated but the idea is the same... I think line of action is neat lol I try to make the character follow the line as much as possible with the only thing that might break the silhouette being appendages like tails etc

My personal rule for expressions is that it just has to look like an exaggerated version of a real expression a human could actually do. To me it's not as appealing when artists add wrinkles in random places with no forethought, faces stretch around the eyes and mouth and chin and that's where I usually place wrinkles

I take inspiration from a lot of shtuffs these are just the ones I can think of right now:

-Fleischer cartoons. Favorite 30s studio besides Van Beuren

-obviously 90s cartoons, for Smokey my main inspiration is Twisted Tales of Felix The Cat and Pat Ventura's shorts for Oh Yeah! Cartoons. Animation wise I try to do something similar to season 2 of Space Goofs and Cats Don't Dance

-90s 2d point and clicks. Two big favorites are Toonstruck and UFOs

-anything by Ralph Bakshi. Fully aware it's bad lol but Cool World is one of my favorite movies ever

-underground comix but specifically 80s/90s newave stuff

-music!!! I like psychobilly and ska and it helps me draw. Massive Frank Zappa fan too

I think it's good to vary what you take inspiration from. When I started drawing cartoons I didn't let my myself improve because I only took inspiration from 30s and 90s cartoons and was so bent on perfectly replicating it that I didn't develop my own style. I see a lot of cartoonists blend together because they're only influenced by ren and stimpy and looney tunes that they don't have their own voice or bring anything new to the table

I recently just switched to my relatively new ipad so I'm using Procreate and then Procreate Dreams and Toonsquid for animation. Since 2020 I had been using Firealpaca and pencil2d because they were both free. I used a screenless Gaomon tablet I got for 30-40 dollars. I do all my sketches on paper and then airdrop them to myself since my hand doesn't move as naturally when sketching on a screen

"I pretended that the sky was a sheet of music and each shooting star that fell was a single note."

Oh, Operetta. I do love her but she's always been so tumultuous with me. My Operetta headcanons seem to draw the most ire, so I'll just preemptively say, if you have a problem with her size, go touch grass.

Other than that, her style is hard for me to wrap my head around. She has a clearly identifiable style, which not all the G1 characters can boast, but I can't say rockabilly (or even psychobilly) are things I have much experience with. The things I think of have already been done for her: swing dresses, pencil skirts, cigarette pants etc.

For this look i leaned a bit more to the Phantom idea instead of being pure rockabilly. Her black and white corset with the row of buttons is supposed to bring to mind a black vest and white dickey, while the cut of the shirt underneath mimics coattails, bringing to mind popular depictions of Erik. The touches of yellow in the mask, earrings, chain and shoes are a callback to Operettas' original design. As for her birthmark, it's kind of the draw for the character, so I made it more prominent and made it go down her side and up one leg.

Overall, I feel like she's probably not as luxe or detailed as the other designs I did, but I think it suits her character.

As always, my ko-fi is linked in my bio! You're getting art for free, spare a tip if you can!

Gerard van Herk (guitar and vocals) and Tony Dewald (drums) of Déjà Voodoo onstage and backstage at the Cat's Paw, probably in fall 1982, photographed by Marla Master.

Inspired by The Cramps, the cult Montreal-based duo developed a distinctive style which they termed "sludgeabilly”, blending their primitive, swampy and minimalistic psychobilly/garage punk sound with `50s horror themes and surreal, dark humour. Struggling to find an audience, they eventually launched Og Records to promote their stuff but never managed to break into the mainstream markets, remaining under the radar till the day they split up in 1990.

Both Tony and his wife were diagnosed with cancer only months apart -both for a second time, ffs-, so here's a GoFundMe link for anyone that wishes to help: https://www.gofundme.com/f/please-help-as-we-both-battle-cancer
