Chaos Chameleon

This is one of those "non villain" entries. I figured I would end the week with Chaos Chameleon. His comic is meant to be derivative and cliche' filled. Chaos himself is a bit of a mystery and oddball. He fights crime because it's there (and there isn't much else going on in the town of Dry Gulp, his stomping grounds).

The Animator

"The Animator" is another villain from the Chaos Chameleon comic book universe. The idea of The Animator was to define types of resentment in the animation industry into one villainous personality. This resentment stems from work sent to cheaper overseas jobs and the enamored feelings by companies toward emerging technologies based in 3D techniques. The Animator watched as his skill set was no longer a good fit for his job and "somehow" ended up in the Chaos Chameleon dimension.

Upon arrival The Animator discovers he can animate real life objects if he simultaneously animates them on paper. Due to his bitter nature he turns to a life of crime creating headaches for Chaos Chameleon.

War Hog

"War Hog" is a villain for the online comic "Chaos Chameleon" that I started with my friend Eric Studer a couple of years ago. War Hog(s) run across the landscape in groups giving Chaos Chameleon more than his share of headaches. I've been meaning to get back to this project but the technical needs of actually building the website have been getting in the way. Sometimes I tend to want to do things "perfect" which obstruct from actually doing something. I'm sure this tendency is felt with creative folk across the spectrum. Once Thudian and Mundoose episode 2 is close to completion and episode 3 is underway I'd like to bring attention back to Chaos Chameleon.


I'll probably be digging into the archives for the next few days since I won't have consistent access to internet and won't have time to sketch a lot. I also received some sad family news so my sketching aura will be underpowered for a period of time.

Mediocre Fortune Inserter Hag

Yesterday I decided to get thai food for lunch. The yellow curry was great. If you happen to be in Burbank California and you want to recover any sickness from a live taping of Jay Leno you should visit "Original Thai Restaurant".

Anyways, I got my fortune cookie and I was excited! I couldn't wait to find out my grand fortune for the future! I gingerly opened it (didn't want to rip my future riches message) and this is what I got:






....A safety tip??? Along with using the wrong form of the word "thing"?

Unbelievable! Fortunes have been getting really lame lately. It would have been nice to see "You will find five bucks under your couch...perhaps" as an alternative.

As I thought about this I slowly realized what has been going on. Mediocre Fortune Inserter Hag has been getting bolder. She takes the good fortunes of unsuspecting victims and replaces them with mediocre fortunes slowly building her personal wealth. I need to be more vigilant.

Ale Demanding Rhino Medieval Version

He wanders the medieval landscape from pub to pub. Wielding an empty mug he demands ale. If his mug is not filled he punishes with his mighty axe. An empty mug makes him grumpy indeed.

Many pubs have been closed because of his consumption or retribution. It is a lose lose if he enters your town. Can anyone stop the Ale Demanding Rhino?

Crummy Customer Service Creep

Yesterday I thought it would be a good idea to upgrade my ram to my computer. I called fry's electronics because they have computer stuff. When I called some customer service girl answered. I chronicled the event in the above cartoon. I never got a good look at the villain, the cartoon is based on intuition.

The Repo Cow

Sometimes when I have a hankerin' I'll pour myself a bowl of Capn' Crunch. I hear the musical sounds of the Capn's sweet goodness tickle the bowl. "What a wonderful day!" I usually exclaim with excitement. Then I open my fridge to a disaster. No milk.

"Curse you Repo Cow!" I yell to the heavens with clenched fist.

You see, Repo Cow walks the land reclaiming milk she believes was stolen from her. She goes from home to home taking what is "rightfully" hers. I get hit quite often.

Bully The Elephant

He picks on the other animal kids at school because he wishes he could fly.


He can't.



I was working on a Thudian and Mundoose drawing and it made me grumpy. Bully the Elephant was the result of "animation frustration". At least it rhymes.

Son of The Chalkboarder

Like father like son. He runs from classroom to classroom scratching in chalkboards with his fingernails. At least his father had the decency to use chalk. Kids these days....

The Chalkboarder

He runs around with a mobile chalkboard annoying people. Jerk.

Upgraded Villain: Heliraptor

This villain is the first in an ongoing series of my "Upgraded Villains" line.

Raptors are scary but even scarier with helicopter packs. I introduce you to.... Heliraptor.

My-Friend's-Abandoned-Email-Has-Been-Taken-Over-By-Spam-Beast

I open my emails once in awhile and I get emails from my friend Chris. The problem is he doesn't use that email anymore... at least I think. However, I still get emails from his address pitching erectile dysfunction medication.

CHRIS, STOP EMAILING ME INFO ON VIAGRA, REMOVE THE SPAM BEAST!

Franny Frootbat

Franny Frootbat torments the citizens of Frootbotopolois. Citizens of Frootbotopolis equip themselves with frootbot armor to fend off the likes of Franny. Unfortunately, the bot armor does very little. This was the last sighting of Paula Pineapplebot. A sad day indeed.

The Stare Master

Imagine - you need to get somewhere fast and the elevator is taking forever. There is no choice. You take the creepy stairs. You go through a side door marked "stairs" and make your journey.

Then you feel it. A pair of eyes staring at you from the top of the stairs. You have met The Stare Master.

He waits at the tops of unsuspecting staircase doorways forcing his victims into the deadly art of the staring contest. Whatever you do, Don't Blink.

Haunted Sappy Tree

The Haunted Sappy Tree lives at the edge of the generic haunted forest. Don't fall prey to his sappy gifts or you might be visiting for a little longer than expected.

Socially Awkward Vampire: Matilda of Drac

Matilda is as blind as a bat. However, she takes her sight deficiency and makes the best of it running personal modeling shows. She insists she has an eye for fashion.

Who am I to argue? Have you seen the way I dress?

Socially Awkward Vampire: Barbara of the Nosferat

Barbara is the most popular girl in school. She goes to all the dances. She is still going through that awkward stage all vampire teeny boppers go through. She has not mastered transforming and walks the halls with bat wings for arms. All the boys think she's "sooooooo hot". I don't get it.

(This sketch was inspired from the Bugs Bunny cartoon "Transylvania 6-5000" during the magic phrase duel. One of my all-time favorites)

Socially Awkward Vampire: Hank Vigée-Lebrun of The Mountain Ash

Hank can't bite anybody. He loves the game Mass Effect.

Socially Awkward Vampire: Francis Lodemai of The Pouch

Francis loves his fanny pack. It is full of cheese biscuits.

Socially Awkward Vampire: "Ashford The Ashamed of Moldovia"

Ashford walks the halls in school depressed and sad. He hates being good looking. He hates being charming. He hates getting all the boys and sometimes girls. He asks himself constantly "why me?". He hides his fangs in shame. Life is too easy and that really sucks.

Socially Awkward Vampires

Let me be Frank.

(scene missing)

Ok, that was fun.

Now, Let me be clear. I hate vampires. They are the stupidest, lamest, and most entitled creatures of lore. They get all the girls, men, and/or love interests. They are handsome and pretty. They are intelligent and manipulative. They live forever and stay pretty forever. They pick on werewolves. The list goes on and on.

In fact, I hate them so much that I have beaten Castlevania numerous times in a fit of rage. Yes, I hate vampires....well, except for one. Count Orlok, Nosferatu. He just looks....weird.

To deal with that twilight "movie" opening this weekend I have decided to provide balance to the empty husks presented on the silver screen with my own take on the genre. Nosferatu definitely was an influence. I'll highlight each one below randomly this weekend. I present to you: Socially Awkward Vampires.
