What is the 100 Bastards Project?

It is, quite simply, a self assigned sketch project intended to bring some much needed life to my blog, as well as continue to encourage me to sketch as much as I can in my free time. I will, over the next couple of weeks/probably months, sketch 100 bastards.

Why Bastards?

Because they are one of my favorite subjects to draw/write about/watch. And keep in mind here, I am using the word ‘bastard’ in its slang connotation; which according to Dictionary.com is: a. a vicious, despicable, or thoroughly disliked person: Some bastard slashed the tires on my car. b.a person, esp. a man: The poor bastard broke his leg. For this project however, I will be heavily leaning towards definition “a”. Also, I am in no way intending to offend anyone here. This is supposed to be silly.

Any resemblance to real people or fictional characters is purely coincidental. And while I may be influenced by real people or fictional characters, I will not be looking at reference photos whatsoever.

The word ‘bastard’ can be taken in a wide variety of directions, enough I hope at least to come up with 100 of then.

Some Self Guidelines

These are just sketches, ones that I should not be spending anymore than 30 minutes on a piece. No inking, no color. Just sketchin’.

The sketches may be portrait or figure oriented, but probably will end up more on the portrait side of things knowing me.

I would love to do be able to post one a day, but I can’t promise that. However, I will make an effort to post one as much as I can.

The End Result

In the end, I may even do more than 100; we’ll see how it goes. If things go well, I may polish up the better 100 of the drawings (or leave them as is) and bind them together in a small zine/sketch promo book to pass around for probably no profit whatsoever.

Irregardless if that happens or not, I at least hope it will be a fun project to do, and a fun project for people to follow.
