Before you talk to the chief, you must party with the chief!
We haven't used this blog in over 2 years. We should change that. So, I've updated the logo, fonts, colors, etc. and here's some Adventure Time Party Pat fan art! This was for a challenge on conceptart.org to create a realistic version of an adventure time character. Enjoy!

Nightmare Creatures
Greetings Internet,
So for this post, we're showing some illustrations of nightmares. Dave and Adam created pieces for deviantArt's Mama contest judged by Guillermo del Toro [director of Pan's Labyrinth] and the directors of the aforementioned movie Mama. The contest wanted entries depicting childhood nightmares, like something from a closet, attic, basement or from under the bed, and making it as creepy as possible. Dave's piece was selected as a semi-finalist. We're still waiting to see who wins. Yusef created a tribute piece to Dream from "The Sandman" comic.
"Something is in the Basement"
"Attic Nightmare"
This is my entry for the Mama contest. The attic has always been kind of a weird mysterious place that no one ventures into willingly. There's a reason why.

Here is my submission for the MAMA contest. I have always been afraid of sweet docile things becoming evil and twisted. Also, I have always found basements to be very eerily, they still creep me out.

Ghost Town Speedpaint
Greetings!
For this challenge, I thought it'd be cool to do speed paintings, to challenge ourselves to get faster at painting while learning new techniques, trying our hands at different things, and improving in areas we aren't comfortable in. So for this one, we focused on painting a ghost town in 1 hour.

Adventure Time Game Jam
Here's some work done with a game design buddy for Fantastic Arcade 2012's 48 hour game making frenzy. We crafted a game from start to finish in 2 days with a hard stop at 48 hours. The result was Must Party Forever a game based on the "Power Animal" episode. We ended up winning second place out of 100 or so entries. We also formed an impromptu studio we call One and a Half Beards.

Cartoons
Greetings Internet!
This week Yellow House brings you our take on animated
characters. Here we bring our focus to characters with a
singular look. The idea is to take what
makes the character iconic and translate that to our own style. Get ready to see characters from realms of
animation, from Saturday mornings, to film, to anime. Stay posted for a new theme and round of art
next week!

"Finn and Jake"

Adventure time is an amazing series and
does a good job of teaching light morals while still being a consistent source
of awesome. It may not be as off-the-wall as the original pilot but in its current
form it still does a good job of having a sense of humor. I haven't seen many episodes but of the ones
I've seen so far "Mortal Folly" is my favorite. The Lich, an
absolutely terrifying villain nearly kills princess bubble gum... I mean how
often does a necromancer almost kill a main character that's made of candy in a
cartoon?
NOT TOO OFTEN SAYS I.

"Goku"
Dragon Ball Z
Graphite
Goku is the main character from the manga/anime Dragon Ball
created by Akira Toriyama. Dragon Ball
is one of my favorite shows. It’s full of action, humor, and heart. Goku is great because he can smile in the face of death and find strength in defeat. The world of Dragon Ball is a mixture of old
and new, ancient magic and futuristic technology. Goku is loosely based upon the Monkey King
from the classic Chinese novel “Journey to the West”. I wanted to make Goku modern while at the same time like something from a legend. I drew him flying on his cloud Kinto’un, armed with is staff Nyoi’bo. If you haven’t experienced Dragon Ball and you like your stories action packed, track down
the manga or the anime.

"Brendan and the Illuminators Hunt for Feathers"
Secret of the Kells
Graphite and Watercolor
The Secret of Kells" is a gorgeous film and one of my favorites. The characters and art style are incredibly unique and vibrant.
I love the beginning scene, where Brendan and the Illuminators of Kells are chasing down a goose. The group is rendered in a way that makes them move as a solid shape, and while I think that is genius, I wanted to draw them as individual pieces with individual running styles. Drawing up this idea in my own style was a fun challenge.
