Thus revealed, the creature buried its nose in the tire-tilled soil...

Because I said I would…!
Category: Art … Blog

Okay, here are drawings of two people that I promised to draw like over a year ago and have just now completed. See if you can guess who they are just by looking at the pictures without looking at the image titles! Running your cursor over the images and looking at the status bar (or clicking the images and reading the filenames) will let you know if you're right. Click the display picture(s) below for the larger and/or undithered images.

The Shake Shack is in the background.

I'd like to say that I hope it was worth the wait, but there's no way that it could be because being drawn all goofy-like by me is in no way an exciting or memorable or life-changing experience. Still, in a feeble attempt to try and make up for the delay, I've also created individual pics with some additional details that will hopefully amuse today's models:

Remember this place?

I think the keeper of the peanut butter cups looks more like the Wolfman than a dog, but I tried! This was actually my second shot at drawing him -- you should see how the first turned out.

The squirrel appears to be winning...

I don't care what you say, madam -- soap that looks and smells like food should be destroyed, not purchased. It is an abomination.

And finally, here is another picture from the camera image folder that I mined for inspiration and backgrounds (this one's for you, Sarah).

It may take me a while, but never say I don't come through in the end! :D

Wow, that's awesome, Wes! It was well worth the wait, esp. with having the boys drawn in with me:) I'm going to have to link it from my page. I appreciate you drawing me much skinnier than I really am. hehe.

You think? I mean, this style definitely has its limitations as far as physical approximation goes, but I was trying to be fairly accurate in terms of size. I've always thought your comments about your size were bull, though! ;P

Lori: Glad you like the pic -- but how could you forget about the squirrel-pigeon grudge match? It was only The Battle of the Century. ;)

Sarah: The hook things are negligible -- it's the teeth you have to watch out for...
