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.
