GUS THE MUSKRAT
GUS THE MUSKRAT by @sum02

Threw this together about a month back. It was an experiment to see just how inefficient I could be. I pen'd the line art for the guy, did the scenery line art, inked out a shading layer AND a highlight layer, all on separate pieces of paper. I then pieced everything together on Photoshop (with a background photo I took) and finally did a bit of digital painting to polish it off. I feel the need to add that I did this at 3AM, shivering & shirtless, curled up in a ball in a cold room blasting Sugar Ray the whole time through shitty broken headphones. Really paints a vivid picture, huh? Let my suffering bring you joy.

I'm laughing so fucking hard. I must be missing something or another, like did you really just mix up Sugar Ray with fuckin Primus? You gotta be yankin my chain... You have to know, they're the ones who go like: IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHHH JUST WANT TO FLLLLYYYYYYHH... Shit, I at least don't think that one was on pork soda!

My god the perspective on this one is perfect . So soulful. Have you ever drawn a field hospital before? Oddly specific, but I wonder how that would look in your style.

That actually sounds like a pretty neat idea. An infinitely better request then the usual "hey stranger, draw this random ass character from some childish franchise I've been obsessing over since I was ten doing this incredibly specific action so I can get my rocks off... nobody else will do it for me ok thanks I'll see it finished next week" comments I get. No shame lol. Anyways, I don't really like war or suffering related things, but I definitely got some ideas brewing up. I'll warn you right now though, pictures of full scenes take me forever to construct and finish. Last request I did took me nearly a full year to complete. But yeah, I'll keep it in the back of my mind. You'll see it when you do. Don't be surprised if the final result turns out a little bit unexpected or strange too... I follow the term "request" very loosly lol.

@sum02: haha, I only request childish characters if I feel like the person would appreciate them or they're from the same fandom. I am admittedly guilty of that.

I'm excited to see what you do! And you should have fun and deviate with requests, they are requests, after all. I think of them as suggestions. I'll check back in. If I'm not posting regularly on here by then you also need to uppercut me, I've been real slack (although I have been studying instead)

I wish most people on the internet had that level of awareness. Thanks for not requesting me to draw Bakugan Sex like this one past dude did.

Awe man, that's kind of you! I'll def have my fun with it. No way in hell I'll "uppercut" you though lol. I'm a master procrastinator, and even when I'm actively drawing, it still takes me forever to get my lines where I want them to be. Adding inking on that too? Hours man, hours... Here's to hoping you can finish up your book work some time and get back to the fun stuff. Drawin' time for all!
