Art is like that: you spend weeks uninspired and then you get that day when you manage to sketch, digitalize, color, shade, highlight and finish something in a matter of hours.
Though I have to admit, it helps when the idea is motivating. In this case it was suggested by a good friend of mine, EnderGurl22, who told me: "Hey, why don't you put Boozey in a top hat?".
And here he is. My sweet, sometimes inappropriate, loyal, friendly boy: Instant Karma, now known to everyone as Boozedrinker. .
You can find his story in my early journals. He's a really good friend of my other OC Illy.
The hat's brand is kind of an inside joke with my friend, since we agreed that Boozey goes crazy for tomato soup. :giggle:
Hope you like my first drawing of the new decade! :la: I'm very proud of the expression, the mane and the folded ear, whereas I think the fluff on his chest and the shoulder/back anatomy could have been better. All in all, I'm satisfied.
Also, is it just me, or for some reason this portrait has a very "20's, noir movie-ish" vibe to it? I mean, it is technically the Twenties again, so that would make sense.
