Fish Surprise!
When I started doodling at the Vintage this evening, I wasn’t thinking about fish, I was thinking about my nephew Conner who turned three years old on Friday, and how quickly the year has past. I wasn’t thinking about fish, but that’s what I ended up with.
Funny how that happens.
Not at all happy with the fish surprise, and being determined as I tend to be, a trait I expect my nephew will inherit from my brother, I kept at it. After some gnashing of teeth, flexing of claws, and a little wine, I took a request from Charlie who wanted me to draw her a Where The Wild Things Are sort of creature.
Here’s the sketch, my loose and hopefully cuddly interpretation of a wild thing. I’ll paint it up some time soon. Special thanks to Maurice Sendak for breaking the mold.
Love the fish. The Wild Thing looks like some sort of wild thing/Mr. Bill hybrid.
LOL! I wasn’t happy with the fish, but thank you.
The Wild Thing was suppose to look sort of like a stuffed toy laying on the ground. Sort of like the perspective a child would have while looking down at it. …that or I suppose it could be giant and looking down at the viewer.
Hey Todd, I love all your work I have seen so far! I sent you an email yesterday… I really would like to get you designing the landscapes for the game I am working on. Email me back or give me a call.
Thank very much Joel, just sent you an email.
