The creepy red robot

Shave and a Haircut…

Dr. Hans Reinhardt

The Right Arm of Voltron

Red Lion

Piloted by Lance, the second-in-command of the Lion Voltron Force.

"Dude…Seriously…Lame."

Cartman

Well, I've started it up again—for real. After taking the Summer (and part of the Fall) off from my blog, I think it's time I get back to my goal and promise.
I'm about 2/3 the way through the color category of red, so in exactly one month I'll be halfway through the journey—even though I technically started this blog a year ago. I think Cartman's expression says it all: "Dude. You can't leave it like this…seriously."
Cartman, not only has a red jacket but also sports a furious angry streak leaving him blood red in the face. The pathetic sprawl of drawing utensils abandoned in front of him is enough motivation for me to keep going.

Whoop, whoop, whoop…

I can't forget about Dr. Zoidberg—the reddest character on Futurama. Talk to the claw…

Hhhhmmm. Slurm.

Yes! Futurama is back on the air with brand new episodes. Good to see you and your red hair again Fry.

Beware the Dark Side

When pictures of the villain from the first Star Wars prequel the Phantom Menace were released I was blown away by the design and presence of the character. Too bad I wasn't as blown away by the movie. Quite an iconic character though.

The Fury of Firestorm

This nuclear powered hero sports integrated dual-identities of High school student Ronald Raymond and physicist Martin Stein. Originally debuted in Firestorm, The Nuclear Man #1 (March 1978).

Imperial Guards

The Emperor's Royal Guards, an elite group cloaked in red and armed with force pikes move in from the shadows to defend their master.

The Red Tornado

This android created by super villain T.O. Morrow first appeared in Justice League of America #64 (1968).

The Golden Age Starman

Ted Knight was Starman and a member of the Justice Society of America. First appeared in Adventure Comics #61 (1941).

Red Superman

Probably one of the worst mistakes of DC Comics history was the revamp of their cornerstone character Superman in 1999. Here's a tip of the hat…

Adam Strange

Kinda like Buck Rodgers and Flash Gordon, Adam Strange first appeared in Showcase #17 (November 1958).

The Scarlet Speedster

The Golden Age Flash premiered in Flash Comics #1 (January, 1940).

Goombas

Look out Mario! They're really slow but devious.

Red Robin

Tim Drake, the third ward of millionaire Bruce Wayne became Robin after his parents were kidnapped. He was later adopted by Bruce when his parents died. Then after Bruce died he went on to become Red Robin. Drama…

A Noid.

For some reason I loved this character. I think he's the reason for my Dominos brand loyalty.

Freddie the Freeloader

As played by Red Skelton. This one is for my Grandpa.

Jinx

She's from G.I. Joe and I believe there's some relation to Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Web-slinger

Spider-Man. I think I could have done this one better—'nuff said.

The Scarlet Witch

I picked up a Marvel Masterworks copy of the Avengers Volume 2 at the library the other day and was inspired to create an updated take on the Scarlet Witch.

Shazam!

a.k.a. Captain Marvel

The Assassin

Elektra "The Greek" in her red outfit—ready to take on Daredevil

The Man Without Fear

Giant Man

Dr. Henry Pym, (a.k.a., Giant Man, Ant-Man, Goliath and Yellowjacket) storms through an urban environment with The Avengers to defeat an enemy that threatens humanity.

V For Vendetta

Well, he wears all black but he creates a lot of red.

Cynical and Sardonic

The red M&M who goes by the name "Red".

Clifford

I love this concept of the the big red dog. It was really intriguing as a kid.

Blinky has got his eyes on The Pac

The first video game I ever got into—Pac-Man. I guess the real name of the red ghost (in American Pac-Man) is Shadow, but his nickname is "Blinky".

Huey and Louie

Duck Tales was one of my favorite cartoons growing up. Huey is featured in the foreground because of his red shirt and hat. I decided to include Louie in the background seeing as I had forgotten him during the green period of this blog.

2008's Red State Man

"So, kiss a little longer, stay close a little longer…"

"…Hold tight a little longer—longer with Big Red!" It always tasted really good for the first few seconds. I'm not a big fan of cinnamon gum but Big Red is the exception.

"Alright you Decepti-creeps…"

Cliffjumper has yet to make a film debut in the Transformers, but was always one of my favorite characters in the cartoon series. He was voiced by Casey Kasem. He was also one of the only Transformer toys I had as a kid.

Transform and Rollout

Leader of the Autobots, Optimus Prime, stands ready for action!

Flash! Oh-oh…Savior of the Universe.

I've been inspired and influenced by the work of Alex Raymond and later Al Williamson on the comic strip Flash Gordon. Fantastic!

Floating Fat Man

A Beast Harkonnen

Glossu "The Beast" Rabban, nephew to the Baron Harhonnen and older brother to Feyd Rautha from DUNE—Earned the nickname from killing his own father. He had red hair.

Deadpool

He kinda looks like Snake-Eyes from G.I. Joe but he's actually Deadpool, assassin from the world of the X-Men

Carnage

I was expecting some carnage yesterday.

Alviiinnn!

I missed Theodore in the 'green' phase, so I snuck him into Alvin's picture.

Mystery of the Red Hood

The criminal that became The Joker.

Strawberry Shortcake

Is this what she looks like?

Grandma, what big teeth you have…

What a strange story. 'Nuff said.

His Name is Gossamer

In case you were wondering (like I was). Anyway, I really liked the way his arms would disappear when they weren't outstretched. They just blend into his body. Genius!

He's Flexible.

I don't know. Something funny to me about Plastic Man carrying cash.

Yia Yia's Jell-O

I have been having cravings for Jell-O lately. My grandmother used to make me red Jell-O all the time— from ages 0-25. I haven't had any in a long while.

RED

I had a lot of fun drawing this one. I couldn't remember if Hellboy had "human" ears or if he had any fangs so I asked LaVonne to look it up and give me a hint. I had to render him in the likeness of the Mike Mignola style though I did put in some of my own styling.

It was recently brought to my attention that it wasn't clear that the drawings on this blog are rendered from memory (I only used a reference for a few of them). Now that I've gotten through almost a third of the project, I've started to notice (looking back) that my rendering of characters is based upon the style of the original and not my own interpretation.

La, la, la-la-la-la…La, la, la-la

My sister used to hog the t.v. for Saturday morning cartoons (even though she denies it!) and she'd subject me to the Smurfs. Here's Papa Smurf.

The Incredible "Rulk"

Red-Hulk introduced in January 2008 adds yet another shade to the Hulk spectrum. Soon there will be a war of the Rainbow Hulks.
