Right, so I pulled out of the previous GFX round due to not being able to finish on time. Since then I've been working on the image on-and-off and now it's finished only about a week late.

The picture shown below is half the size, the fullsize one can be found by clicking on the picture.

The full resolution pic (1280xs1024) is low quality...the high quality version is 1.1Mb and doesn't fit on photobucket xD Lame. Except I feel justified with the size...this was hand-drawn from start to finish.

I should have tidied up the sketchlines more, but wasn't actually intending to spend this much effort on it. Meh.

I could be and just not telling :P

Anyway, I got permission to post the next couple of portraits. They're quite different, though in the same style.

As usual click the image for more information.

For the props: Rocky has been a bad boy and is either in a serious timeout or is brownnosing for a promotion? HUMmmmm...
Rocky is brown-nosing Bullwinkle for a promotion because, Bullwinkle has his profile folder and both are on their was to Bullwinkle's office.

Oh, Strop, the portrate of the pregnant lady is beautiful!
I rofl'd at the caricature of the AFL coach that looks like a women's face with lipstick but she's got a broken razor 'cause the legs look BAD. ROFC(rying)

lol actually I had Rocky facing away, because the cartoon face would have been awkward next to the real one, but I guess it's pretty hard to tell isn't it.

Also, I take it you don't exactly see many Asian people where you live? I was expecting a range of responses, but that one takes the cake! ...it's a he.

Strop are you saying that Asians can look either gender?

Yes, the pregnant woman is beautiful - is she your girlfriend?

And...Wooo Rocky and Bullwinkle!

Please excuse repost of image, it seems the DA cache isn't clearing properly...

As you can see now Rocky's hands are facing the right way.

Strop are you saying that Asians can look either gender?


To a white person living in a predominantly white country, all Asians, male and female, look the same.

The converse of this happens to be true. However since I'm an Asian living in a multicultural community, I don't suffer this phenomenon.

Love the drawing. At first glance I thought the face was an actual picture.

Teaser while I fiddle with the brush settings in SAI... I can't quite emulate a pencil no matter how hard I try.

Orlestat headbutt is not at all intimidating. Must be a bad hare day. Or maybe he's just on a diet.

This one looks better than the first one I saw. I can't remember where that one is.

It's the "chop off a limb" weight-loss tactic. That right wing isn't just "not drawn yet", it's "not going to be drawn in".

This one looks better than the first one I saw.


Actually on a more serious note this will be a real attempt at getting the right feel for him as a character. I also think it will look better than all previous versions.

No right wing? Wouldn't that seriously inhibit flying? And how'd he lose it?
