After 2 years of preproduction work of the Disney XD show "The Avengers: Earths Mightiest Heroes", I figured I would share some samples from my portfolio from some of the episodes that have aired thus far.

Here is poor Tony Stark, The Iron Man, as he was gamma mutated by The Leader in the Avengers EMH - Episode 13 - Gamma World part 2.

Portfolio: Avengers EMH crew Gift Poster...

Hey Folks. This is a crew poster I did for the folks I worked with on "The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes" upon the completion of my duties when we wrapped preproduction on episode 52. Sort of a "What If" scenario that was never addressed in the show. I had a good time working on that production and so I drew this for my friends with whom I enjoyed working.

Cheers.

Portfolio: Ben 10's Kevin 11 Partial Turn....

Here is a bit of vintage portfolio work of mine from the OG Ben 10 days back when I had the great pleasure to work with the mighty mighty Dave Johnson.I like how the turn came out, but the Kevin's asymmetry made this assignment a bit of a bear. Fun nonetheless, though.

Cheers

Here is a bit of vintage portfolio work. Back in 2003 I was working on the first 26 episodes of Tutenstein with my mentor, Fil Barlow. That was a fun gig. THese are samples of some of the underworld denizens to be had on that show set to vex Tut in his efforts.

Avengers EMH Portfolio work....

After two years, I have recently wrapped up my duties for preproduction on the Disney XD show "The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes". These are a few portfolio samples from my stint on that series. These are from episodes "459" and the "Gamma World" two-parter that aired in the past number of months on the Disney XD Channel. If you enjoy old school Marvel Comics goodness, I suggest you go over and check them out. I hope you enjoy the show.

Among these samples there are a bevy oy Gamma Mutated S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents, development for The U-Foes (yay evil Fantastic Four clones!), and 2 versions of Captain Marvel ( the first version is derived from the development by the Talented Ciro Nieli, who developed the show).

A little something I am working on...

Hey FOLKS,

As it aired over Thanksgiving weekend, I figure that now I can post to my portfolio a little of my design work for the Kaiju beasts therein. This was a really enjoyable gig. I have a deep love of giant monsters...

Cheers.

MAjor Spoilers Comics: The Giant Sized Holidanger Issue

A return to the Major Spoilers Comics continuity.... Happy Holidays, guys!!! As I work designing for the various examples of the Saturday Morning Goodness that occupy my working week, I like to listen to various podcasts and the like. One of my all time favorites is the much lauded Major Spoilers Podcast (as seen at http://www.majorspoilers.com/). It appeals mightily to the comicbook geek in me. If you folks out there dig Comics, Animation, and the like, go over and check them out. Their podcast is sharp, well produced and a lot of fun.

For kicks I decided to do a second novelty comicbook cover for them. Here be the results... I hope they dig it as well. The first cover can be seen here: http://tnperkins.deviantart.com/art/Major-Spoilers-Comics-77-153073535
and the second can be seen here:

Portfolio: Avengers EMH work...

Hey folks,
Now that my dayjob has hit the airwaves, here be a sample of my work from the origin episode of Captain America from "Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes". Some Hydra smiting going on...

A bit o' the Fandom: The Wrath in the Brave and the Bold style...

Here be a bit of the Fan Art for my love of the cartoon "Batman: Brave and the Bold" featuring a character that shall never in fact appear, I would bet. I did this as I took a break over the weekend from working on "The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes" Cheers.

My new Lunch Bag Blog!

Hey Folks!

I just started a new blog. It is called Thomas Perkins Lunch Bag Blog (http://lunchbagblog.blogspot.com/). Therein you shall you find my daily excursion to amuse my three children by decorating their lunch bags. As an animation designer I draw everyday, working to bring the Saturday Morning Goodness to the masses... but each day begins my doodling for my three munchkins in the endeavor to give them a grin throughout their day at school. Take a gander. Mayhap something here will amuse you too.

Cheers!

Random Fandom: Mystery in Space # 106 featuring Ultra the Multi-Alien....

Here be another bit o' the fan art. This is my homage / remake of the cover to Mystery in Space # 106 featuring Ultra the Multi-Alien. I love the old goonie characters. Everything in comics these days is so "serious".... I miss comics that were fun and adventurous without needing to resort to over the top dysfunctional sturm and drang...

Hey kids, it's KAIJU time!

Last year I had the extreme pleasure to get an opportunity to work on an animated adaptation of a comicbook I enjoy very much. It is Phil Hester and Andy Kuhn's "Firebreather". This upcoming week it is slated to be released in primetime on Cartoon Network as a Cartoon Network original movie on November 24th.

This adventure was directed by the illustrious Peter Chung. A fine and talented team of folks worked like mad to bring this film to fruition. As for my part in it, I got to design monsters for this fine adventure. It was a lot of fun to be sure. I hope you folks enjoy.

My Covered Blog Entry: Mimic the X-Man Issue No. 29...

Hey Folks, if you are looking for a fun website, I highly reccomend browsing the extensive comic book goodness found at Robert Goodin's Covered Blog (http://coveredblog.blogspot.com/) wherein he hosts submissions of a multitude of artists who take their own spin on comic book covers in their own unique way.

Here be my submission to that illustrious blog. As a life long fan of The X-Men and there occasional guest star, The Mimic. I always thought a good brawl would be The Mimic versus The Super Adaptoid. Thusly... here be the results. My own spin on a Marvel that never truly was in this reimaginig of X-Men #29. Hope you dig.

App Preview : " Thomas Perkins: A Collection of Odd Folk"...

Fandom Moment: The Super Adaptoid.....

As a life long comics fan, there are many odd characters I have read about, but this villain is one of my all time favorite weird folk. I love the Super Adaptoid. Best fiight ever... Super Adaptoid Versus The Mimic! I figure over a couple of Lunchbreaks to indulge my inner fanboy and do a Super Adaptoid sketch the way I would like to draw him. Cheers....

Fandom Strikes again.....

A bit of the FF Tribute for Evan Shaner, a friend of mine who requested this a loooooong time ago. Time to make good.

Return of the Late Night Sketchamathingie 10-1-10....

My Labors have come to fruition! The release of "Thomas Perkins: A Collection of Odd Folk"....

At last! My Iphone / Ipad artbook app is OUT! HUZZAH!! For any curious to get a gander at it, it is called "Thomas Perkins: A Collection of Odd Folk" up at the Itunes Store. Here is one of the reasons I have not been posting as much of late. I have been a busy lad working on this.

http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/thomas-perkins-a-collection/id392205277?mt=8

Here be the blurb for it up omn the Itunes:
"A digital artbook filled with the odd denizens skating across the cerebellum of Thomas N. Perkins IV, a character designer for animation whose credits include Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot, The Batman, Ben 10, and TMNT to name a few. This book includes never-before-seen samples of the strange places and people that the flash across the mind's eye of the artist. Please take a moment to enjoy this collection of odd folk!"

And now you know why I was curious as to the Iphone / Ipad usage among the DA denizens. Have a good day folks.

Lunchtime scribbling....

Just A bit of Lunchtime Scribbling.... a bit of Tokusatsu Ant Themed Man, if you will. I loves me the Inazuman, Kamen Rider, and their ilk. Marvel and DC could use a bit of proper tokusatsu goodness.

Had I designed Spider Man India revisited...

Another brief jaunt into fan art dorkiness as I revisit an old idea I was playing with....

Back when I working on "Spectacular Spider-Man" I was chatting with my co-workers and we were speculating on other potential directions for the art from the comicbook "Spider-Man India". Here is my rough scribble of what I would have done given a chance.

Well, an amusing lunch time diversion, anyway...
