Starting to draw character art

I guess you could call me an OCRemix vet (lol 2001), and have done music most of my life, but I decided to give character art a stab for 2014, and develop a rich story and world. Here's my DA page:

I'll be posting more in the thread. There's a lot of cats in this thread so beware. I think the internet can handle them though being the official mascot of interwebtubes. The way I see it, if Disney and Warner Brothers can do it (zillions of animal characters in their catalog), I can take a stab as well. :D

Let me start off with some drunk cats, one of my first character pieces.

I'm doing some character parodies of real cats my co-worker has. This is his tuxedo cat Hendrix drawn up as a disco dancing secret agent. LOL

I did some Disney-esque redesign concepts of two of my characters. I took two expressions and poses generalizing their personality. Enzo and Daphne work together.

Enzo is Daphne's boss, slightly older, a bit shorter (and fatter), but he's a brain. Daphne however gets frustrated more easily (flying off the handle actually), and Enzo has to constantly keep her in check.

Here's my first villain Ivan, based on a Lynx, and is inspired by Ivan the Terrible. He's a dick to say the least. I made this before doing Daphne and Enzo's redesign, so it will inevitably change over time. It was my first run at the office after work. I did some line art and polish on this one for fun. :P

My first villain. I drew him in two different outfits depicting him when he was Commander (now Archer Sullivan), then being promoted to General.

For those that don't know me, I moved to Williamsburg, Brooklyn (aka NYC) for a job 3 years ago. Being from the midwest, seeing ground zero of hipster culture has been both hilarious and annoying at the same time. I decided to make this satirical piece cataloging a lot of my thoughts over the time being here. This isn't meant to offend anyone, but if it does...I'm still laughing.

Wallpaper size at 1920x1200. You'll probably want to download the full image to read the text a bit better.

I decided to create a Photoshop tutorial video regarding how I do things currently. I go through the entire line art, coloring, and shading process in 90 minutes in comfy 1080p. Feel free to check it out. :D
