"A Little R & R" ("The Island")
Ink Smudges: So, after a long summer, fighting aliens, dark Jedi, and playing football with convicts, Jake and I decided that it was time for our hero Erik to take a bit of a vacation. The ocean, sands, palm trees, and floating evil robots, ahh... vacations.
Um WHAT???
Okay, so it seems Erik is never really able to get away from it all. And it also seems that Jake was still trying to hand me pictures that have absolutely no backgrounds. I mean seriously, he gave me a picture of Erik and a bunch of robots, then had the nerve to say: "You can go ahead and draw in a tropical island, you know palm trees and such."
I tell ya people I was this close to drawing Erik fighting robots in a brothel full of nekkid Kari's. THIS close.
And then he goes and gives me the picture the same week the new Harry Potter book came out, knowing that I would be spending every bit of my free time reading that and ignoring the SBG. Well, I finished it in record time, and decided to give an afternoon or two to finishing this picture.
It is kind of odd though that we can take a relatively simple picture and turn out something cool like we did. Once again we topped the last week, and was well on our way to making this the best gallery season we've ever done. - Tony
Pencil Marks: Ha ha! Silly Tony! *lol*
See, what he 'accidentally' forgot to mention was in order to give him this picture on time, me (being carless at the time) had to get up at 6 in the morning, take three buses to reach the Mall of America (which took almost three hours total) then walk about 4 miles to his house. Oh sure, I had my own reasons for doing it too because he was suppose to have a picture for me to ink as well. But when I got there, he hadn't even STARTED on it! And when he did do one, it only had Erik and Crispie sitting on a couple of chairs with just a tiny simplistic sign in the background. I know, I know - at least he HAD a background so I shouldn't complain. And hey, it got done, right? So all I had to do now was spend another three hours on buses to get home. If there was anybody to feel sorry for about this whole ordeal, it was definately Tony because it was rude for me to interfere with his 'Harry Potter' time.
......
No. Really. I felt sorry for the guy.
......
There's a lot of pages in that book. Every minute counted.
......
We're talking Harry f#c$!n' Potter here, people! The movie wasn’t out for at least another couple of years!
......
You know, I bet if I drew him in a brothel with a bunch of nude Kari's (because that goes along with the whole plot "The Island" is thinly ripping off from "Parts: The Clonus Horror"), the dude wouldn't be complaining one iota.
......
Certain horny guys visiting this site would love it.
......
$5 says someone will do that now that I've mentioned the idea.

And people wonder why I'm on Fluoxetine. *lol* -Jake
