my own attempt at fanart

[timeerkat]

well, I figured I'd join the ranks of the other great artists and post up my own fanart. It pales in comparison to the other work that's been put up, but I wanted to do *something* before the strip ended! (and Vince, I know how much you love Mikey, but he's my favorite) I'm gonna try to do some of the other characters soon (like Lisa) but I wanted to put up what I have so far.

Cute!!

How'd you get him to hold still that long?

[timeerkat]

=) thanks!

I just pounce-hugged him 'till he agreed to let me draw him! LOL

[timeerkat]

ok, i added Lisa and Tony! (i've found that my real challlenge is drawing hair, so characters like Cindy and Dani will take a bit more effort for me to do )

Cute. The pics have a sort of Rocky & Bullwinkle appeal to them. Rough and simple, and drawing their appeal from that. It actually reminds me of a children's animated show I've seen snippets of. I want to say Maisy.

I've debated drawing and posting character portraits. With the forum practically sacraficing virgins in front of little bronze effigies of Vince lately, I hate to even have the bandwagon come through my town, let alone be perceived as hopping on it, but I have toyed with the challenge of interpreting the characters in my style while keeping them on-model enough to resemble the originals. If nothing else, it'd be interesting to offer up interpretations of the characters in a different style. It's always interesting to me to see different takes on one character. Vince does cute characters a lot better than me, while mine are a bit more animalistic, I think. Like my version of Scott would have spines instead of a sail and would include an iguana's typical subtympanic scales.

I'll probably do it, then you can be the judge of where the styles diverge. I thought about a full picture.. but since I'm just thinking of doing it during my lunchbreak, I'll probably just do an assemblage of portraits.. maybe a torso here and there.

Are there any character model sheets available for TCM?

I've been toying with sketching and I could use the resource material

Thanks again!

There are teh character bio pages, but they're not full model sheets. And Vince has a YERF archive under his real name.

Kawaii! Especially Tony's little "m" nostrils...

Nope, no official model sheets, I'm afraid. Never had time. The bio pages are pretty much the closest I have...
