Description A silly little character study done in Painter, as part of some preliminary work for a beer ad campaign that unfortunately never quite took off. Bad punning rules again.

Glad you like it BUBIMIR-39. Thanks. Anything to do with bad punning and word play and You're talking my language.

Thanks colbalt0700. When I see that phrase it immediately takes my mind to a Stewart Francis joke we saw him tell recently at a gig.

'I tend to fart in lifts full of people. It's wrong on so many levels.'
Bad puns really do rule.

I don't know the story beside this picture, but I don't really like the fish form jack strap but I love the look of this character

Cheers CVTeam. Just as well they withdrew this particular model from mainstream sports shops then . . .!

This is so awesome! You do a wonderful job keeping a traditional feel to your digital works!

Nickillus In reply to ThomasKain [2010-07-24 16:25:19 +0000 UTC]

Many thanks Thomas Kain. Maybe that's down to the fact that I approach the digital in the same way I approached traditional media? Although inefficient and old-fashioned is probably the accurate phrase.

hehehe, that's too funny. If someone tried to hit him there I'm not sure whether it would actually protect him or not XD

Nickillus In reply to FleareHuce [2010-07-24 16:23:18 +0000 UTC]

Thanks FleureHuce. My thinking was that he was such a twisted character he probably didn't need much protecting and didn't really care much.

Haha that fish head is awesome!
Perhaps you could have added more to the outfit? I don't know.. it still works, it just reminds me of PJs, unless that's intended, then it's even funnier

Nickillus In reply to Loath-some [2010-07-24 16:21:54 +0000 UTC]

Thanks loathsome. I was intent on pushing the awful pun so avoided the temptation to add more.

I just love the quirkiness of this character! The colors are also very smooth and I actually thought it was one of your paintings ^^

Nickillus In reply to rasu-chi [2010-07-24 16:21:06 +0000 UTC]

Thanks, Rusty. It's actually the watercolours in Painter. Because it was so small a piece, I got away with using them without pulling all my hair out in frustration at the lag for a change.
