Good Evening

Hello my name is Chris
I have been a fan of the site for a while and I've finally summed the courage to post on the forum. I've been working on NIMH stories and NIMH art which I've posted below.

Here's me self as a rat

Here's an idea I've been developing. Its behind the scenes artwork depicting the "filming" of The Secret Of NIMH.

Here's some trivia on the film. The "More You Know" sign is from an episode of Family Guy.

and here's some joke trivia (although this particular one might be true)

"I've noticed a tendency for this artists to get rather silly. Now I do my best to keep things moving along but I'm not having things get silly. That last drawing got very silly indeed. Now nobody likes a good laugh than I do. Except perhaps my wife and some of her friend. Oh, and Captain Johnson. Come to think of it most people enjoy a good laugh more than I do but that besides the point!"

Cool! Welcome to the forum, Chris! :)

I think you only gave part of the warning for the Secret of NIMH 2.
You forgot to mention that, if death occurs, you should turn off the TV immediately. Also, I get psychotic episodes each time I see it, which I am convinced is normal (I am perfectly safe as long as I do not have access to any chainsaws).
Anyway...have fun at the forum. And your art is really good. :)

Thank you both very much.
To Cedric: I forgot about the psychotic episodes. I'll have to make another "More You Know" poster. The public has to warned!!! :D

Here's some more of my art. Perhaps they can be included on the gallery.
Anyway, these are some hand drawings I've done. Since school is coming to an end and I'll been done with high school classes are mostly done with work. So I got myself a note book and starting drawing NIMH stuff. Now I didn't any character references with me so I had to do the best from memory. Maybe I'll get around to fully coloring them.

I did this one day when I was bored and was amazed at how well it came out.

Sad, because in the end we got Timmy to the Rescue.

I got into a video game mood today. Here's some NIMH / video game crossovers. Here's Secret of NIMH the game with the classic Nintendo menu screen. Probably look better with color.

Justin made it through the mushroom kingdom but has to solve one more problem.

I wanted to have Jon in this but I ran out of room.
Justin: Successful test.
Brutus: I guess so. I think we better spilt up.
Justin: Yeah, we can do more damage that way.

Welcome! And thanks for sharing your art, I quite enjoyed the humor and the Monty Python crossover. ::wink wink, nudge nudge::

I hadn’t gone thru all of the topics in Introductions yet, so I just found this one. Fun stuff!
I did read once that Peter Strauss named his son Justin, who was born after 1982, so I’d always wondered if he named him in homage to “our” Justin.

Nice pics ChrisS.!
