Fanart Friday (on a Saturday!): Sharknado!

Published in and tagged , on by Lindsay

So I’m always up for a B-level Creature Feature. It has to have very specific qualities of awkward graphics, explosions, few explanations (or really silly ones), and lotsa ridiculous creature-induced death scenes. Which is why when SyFy created their super-bizarre franchise of Sharknado a few years ago, I was hooked. It helps that sharks were also involved: sharks are such bizarre, toothy creatures that have been around for millions of years!

Last year when SyFy did their sequel to Sharknado, I made a point of ordering classy beverages and drawing various Sharknado-inspired doodles as fast as possible and filled a page of my sketchbook with some awesomely crazy shark drawings. This year, I had intentions of doing some other work, but realized I can’t resist the pull that is Sharknado. This movie did not disappoint me in the ridiculous factors (SPOILERS! Sharks were in space, you guys)

If you you haven’t seen any Sharknado movies and enjoy movies that are Just Plain Silly, I highly recommend them. The first 2 happen to still be on Netflix as of this writing, and the 3rd will surely follow eventually. But SyFy will probably be kind enough to marathon them again on an upcoming weekend (maybe even THIS UPCOMING WEEKEND?!?).

Here’s my crazy stack of Sharknado 3 inspired doodles. Some of these might have to turn into fuller illustrations or stickers of some kind. Who can resist baby sharks?

Fizzlebit’s big moving vacation break!

We bought a house! Well, we’ve mostly bought it. If you follow me on The Twitters, you might have already heard my grumblings and rumblings regarding getting a house / packing / moving / panicking about moving. My husband James and I are currently boxing up all sorts of things, while contacting movers, plotting repairs, frantically cleaning, and trying to reassure our pets that we’re not ditching them anywhere.

"Hello, human, please explain this large creature that was under the bed."

“Hello, human, please explain this large creature that was under the bed.”

We’re moving from our 3rd story, elevator-lacking apartment to a lovely house in mid-August. To make this move easier and to keep comic updates frequent/non-scribbley, I’ve decided to pause Fizzlebit comics for the entire month of August.

A figure prop I misplaced. Probably for good reason, since JJ is loosing an eyeball.

I will be making an attempt to post some fun sketches / blog items while the comic is on break in August to both keep my sanity (I can’t JUST be boxing things and cleaning….can I?) and to give the site some updates. So keep an eye out on the Fizzlebit Facebook page and my Twitter for updates! You can also take this time to re-read the archive, since we left off on SUCH A CLIFFHANGER!
