Dunno why I didn't do this before. I do love having the 'file attachment' option on this board. I never bothered posting work before with the old board as I needed to have a link to another website.
Anyway, this is old stuff, most of you have seen it before. Some scans reek. They are assorted Gatch piccys and a couple of shots of my Mary Sue "Buffy". (Oy, the things one does when they are new to fandom and don't know any better. Don't worry folks, Buffy is safely retired, but she was fun to draw, so I'll include her here.)
The above piccy was Ken in SMAP Birdstyle (which I like better than the original). Jared Leto was my model for Ken (I like playing around with a less anime look most often)
Next is Jun. Christina Ricci was my model. It wasn't too bad. I sold this one during the auction at the San Diego Comic Con a couple of years back which i thought was pretty nifty.
Snirk...I'll throw this one in as a giggle. This was my response to a nasty bit of flame war ages back in which one gatch fan chose to be icky about Canada. Have you hugged your moose today?
More to be added later....my babycare provider just arrived, so it is off to work for me for now.
god, i love that moose drawing. i howled SO hard the first time i saw it, right in the middle of the Troll Fred incident.
Oh Buffy!
Its wonderful to see the moose drawing again.
I love the Jun pic too, can see why it sold 
Hey if I start making up Gatchamania t-shirts could that be one of the prints
Originally posted by Cep Hey if I start making up Gatchamania t-shirts could that be one of the printsLOL. Specific to all our favorite Moose-luvin' Canuks. I'd be happy to redraw it and take my time. That one was clearly whipped out in a hurry. Thanks guys
. I always get a giggle out of that piccy. (Of course, my sense of humor is known to be skewed).
And thanks FB, that was actually my very first attempt at Gatchaman Fanart. My goal was to give a more real look to the animation, and to find a model that looked like the cartoon character as drawn, not as intended if that makes any sense. I mean, yes, Jun is Chinese, but with those typical anime features, she doesn't look Chinese. Christina Ricci on the other hand, rather looks like an anime character LOL. Hence, my choice of Christina as the model.
Had to hunt to find this one. I got mixed up. Went downstairs to get another scan because I couldn't initially find the original, and realized THIS was the Jun piccy that sold, not the other one. My bad.
oooo. Here's something from the vaults. Someone requested a sex piccy of a sleeping condor. My sense of humor responded instead. Being a rabid Sluggy Freelance fan for years, it seemed only logical to include a stuffed version of Sluggy's homicidal mini-lop 'Bun-Bun'. (Grins and thumbs ups to fellow Sluggite, Ste-Condor who has also made similar conclusions in his endeavors. Great minds think alike.)
oh my!
BUN BUN!!!!
what fun we had rollplaying with him.
*giggles*
All we need now is the ferret, Kiki ( I think that was the name).

BunBun! Can't forget Kiki either! That comic is still great, as are the pics, Buffy!
ok I am biased I love swan pics and Eagle pics too for that matter. My all time favourite pics eagle with his swan pics (of course, like you never guessed)
I love the pics Buffy look forward to seeing more

If I'm correct, Buffy is a character created and illustrated by...Buffy.
Oh God oh God oh God please tell me there's an original of that Condor with bun pic... I COLLECT BUNNIES...
Waits with pathetic hopefulness...
To Da Gang: Thank you thank you guys. I'm glad you are enjoying them.
To Cep and Elvin: Yep...Buffy is my own character. Such as she is.
To Ninja-Sam: Uh...? Original? Well, I've got a Bun Bun stuffed doll I bought through sluggy freelance...complete with switchblade. I've also got the original sketch I did of snoozing condor.... What exactly are you asking about?
The sketch...it's wonderful! I've never seen it before and I have a desperate desire to frame it and stick it on the wall.
hehe.
Twas a fun one to do. The original is in crappy condition, but feel free to make whatever personal use you like with the scan.If it involves public display, just poke my name up there....if it involves illegal activities involving astroglide and a print out....kindly remove all evedence of my signature. 
Mwahahahahaha!!!!!!
Surreptitiously pushes astroglide out of sight under desk...
I just love it. I never thought I'd see Joe and a bunny in the same shot...
I'll hang it right next to that great pic of Joe and Ken and the pink bunny mecha...

wow your work is awesome, would love to see more if you have some
*joins in the chants of the others*
Yes more pics!!!
*grins/blush*
Thanks guys. I'll do my best to get more up as I find them/do them. It's been a long dry spell though. As I find more Gatch, I'll send it on.
*helps you rifle through your drawers, filing cabinets, under the couch, between the bed matress, in the son's playpen, behind the dogs Kennel...*
Im pretty sure you had PLENTY more Gatch sketches stashed somewhere...
Am more than happy to help you find them...and heck Ill even pay for the carrier pidgeon to send them on in here...
Ooh
I'll help too!!!!!!
And I'll set up a barbeque and make refreshments whilst you draw more piccies of anime buffy! 
Then we'll set up the mud wrestling pit and place anime Buffy with sketch Jady..
Ah to think what would happen if these two spunky characters ever met on IF...and heaven forbid if you handed them an arsenal of weapons..!

Oh, yes!!!
Uh, can Jen sit and watch? Take notes? Sparring practice? Her first mentor thinks she's ready to solo.
Grins. SD, that does indeed catch my fancy!
Now lets see if I can do a piccy eh?
I'll wait to see if Lyon is up for her portion, since I don't want to snag her character without permission, but I love the idea of a random jello match between Buffy and Jade. Grin Grin!
Looking for a commission piece Cricket? I can do one! I've already gotten a feel on how to perhaps draw Jen so that will be easier than interpreting Jade!
By all means Lyon has first dibs.
But I sure wouldn't mind a collab with you. Didn't you promise me a Katse in the future?

Sure you want to tackle drawing her again? After the Hell I put you through last time? I've finally admitted it, she's a Mary Sue in many, many ways.
Gotta love the Mary Sues.
Having said that, I'd love to see what you come up with, and promise to very sternly tell that part of me that is her that this is your interpretation, and, being fictional and without a shred of drawing talent herself, she will just have to accept it. That version and tree analogy again.
Snirk snirk snirk.
I have it in writing.
In the meantime.
Here's some little jems I found.
For you longtime MSN chatroom RPers...you know the sacred "Coffee Cup" is the only way to guard your character from mistreatment when you step away from the keyboard for any length of time....
Here are early examples of what happened to Buffy when I forgot the coffee cup one day.....
And yet another...(sheesh what WAS it with these Gatch-nobs and body casts??)
Buffy never caught Ken....
But she did gain access to the G-1.....
Hmmm...
Not attaching...
Lets try this file attachment again shall we?
Edit. Okay. It doesn't want to upload this one.
Size? 57K Check
File Type? JPG Check
Correct Button Hit? Check
Fark if I know.... *shrug*
Edit again...Okay...I shrunk the bastard down to 19 k...and that took. Makes no sense to me. Anyway....for what it's worth...pull out a magnifying glass and enjoy!

I'm just pondering the significance of Ken shouting "Banana" whilst running. *snicker* Ya'll are crazy. Course, that's to be expected, so...
*squints at plane*
*saves picture and fiddles with it*
*squints some more*
Still not working. Buffy, if ya want, you could try uploading it to the Gallery.
*points to button at top of screen*
It allows for up to 100 KB. Maybe that'd work.
Good idea, but I just tried it in the gallery and is says I have to make it 320 pixels X 320 pixels (or something close to that).
I reduced it to that size and got something similar in size to what I already put up....
It swears it is only 57 k large....
But apparently my resolution on that particular picture is too much for the board to handle. Dunno how it differs from the other bits, but ah well. I had similar fits with my avatar. I just don't have the expertise to know how to fiddle with required pixels and still retain resolution apparently.
As for what it says, what else? "Mystery Machine" and "I break for scooby snacks"
Heheheee
Last Attempt.
Okay...this is the redneck approach to technology. I uploaded the pic onto a site that automatically resizes photos to managable deminsions without sacrificing too much quality, then saved it from the site.
If this doesn't work, I do indeed give up and will assume a bug in the machine.
Crosses fingers....
Edit: deleting redundant attachment here too.

I just checked the last pic I uploaded and that was well over 100k. How very odd... Was that 57k the actual file size in explorer or the size your graphics program claimed?
I only checked the graphics program at first...
(goes to look at the different versions in explorer)....
Both say the same thing. No differece. Well, other than it was /47/ k instead of 57 k. Dysfunctional reading moment.
Hang on...
(Buffy Switches browsers to see if it is another glich with this site and her modzilla)
And voila....the glitch is with this site and my modzilla.
Which doesn't make sense as I uploaded all the other pictures in modzilla...it was just this last one that was having kittens.
Mystery solved.

yeah, i'm wondering too, quite frankly. i think Buffy dropped her pencil and can't bend over that far to pick it up again.
hmmm...that was close to four months ago...Reckon that pencil's been found in that time? Surely something was done by now eh?

With new and impending members coming Imi maybe Buffy has been as busy as Yuki?
Aye tiny, lil iddy biddy ones yet to be converted to Gatch, we cant wait 
"yet to be converted to Gatch?"
Dont you mean yet to be corrupted to Gatch?
The baby said "Bird go" yesterday. I'm sure of it.

Buffy, You ABSOFREAKINGLUTELY ROCK...you know that?!!!
Your Ken pic has already featured in a few members' dreams, sparked in impromptu chat with cloned nekkid Kens as Christmas pressies, and had us discussing whether it was those blue eyes or that sultry lazy smile that did it for us with your drawing!
If Lyon's upside on your head inspired such hot pics of Ken and Jun...surely it taking a wok or rubber mallet to you, might challenge you enough to make Ryu, the new Pinup boy?
Youve worked wonders on Ken , Joe, Jun as well as other characters throughout the years, reckon you can beef up the Owl, and give him the same sex appeal??
mind reader.... 
Though, Ryu is on the backburner. I've had a Christmas request for Joe from Ninja-Sam that I'm playing with. Doubt it'll be done in time though....
Been fighting body parts all morning. Grunt! You know how hard it is to do a man-body in lowlight???

I think Stars are considered public domain, so as long as it's not slanderous or libelous, it can be published without reprisals. However I do recall a caricature artist who was threatened with lawsuit by Tiger Woods for using Tiger's image at his booth to help sell his caricaturing skill.
Cartoon characters are considered intellectual property and cannot be reproduced without permission until the property goes public after so many years (50?). Some companies are more sharky about it than others. I know Disney has had a huge reputation for going after even the little guys back before the Internet. I recall a day care being threatened with a lawsuit if they didn't immediately paint over a Disney themed mural one of the employees had put up for the kids. Now if I were to change the costume scheme to a certain percentage, then it is considered fair game for profit.
I only have a basic understanding, and the details as I've posted them are very shakey, but I think that's close enough of an understanding for my layman purposes until I do get serious about it. Then I'll look up the specific copywrite laws.
Fansites such as this tend to avoid lawsuits because they fly under the radar profitwise, and they actually provide free advertising for the creators, so the creators leave them alone, though thare are completely in their rights to ask the fans to shut down the works.
As far as I am aware as long as you can list at least 8 differences between your version and the original then it does not infringe copyright.

I expect that most of the action figures actually don't look like the actors who played the heros or villians. I think it's something to do with those copyright laws as well.
