Description It's not often I do art trades. It's even lees often I spend more time on them than my usual artwork, but here was have it.

So gives me two options for my half of our trade-off:

"[link]

How about the Navi that looks like a detective, in an office, with Professor Fandango offering to buy his services as a private eye for something unorthodox, such as to find a missing pair of keys? Or maybe Fandango could be missing his pants, wearing boxers with hearts on them, and hiring him to find his pants?"

Well in actuality, looking for a set of keys IS pretty orthodox when it comes to cartoons but either way, as soon as I read the second option I was SOLD. That Gren certainly has some comedic ideas.
While it's certain that Fandango wears boxers with something on them, I couldn't think of anything appropriate at the time so I pulled that one out of the suggestion.

I also intended to have something in the empty frame on the left, probably a picture of Mana.EXE but wasn't able to secure the proper permissions and I couldn't muster anything else so it's clearly waiting for a future headline.

The point is, I'm very pleased with the outcome (which is juct as well considering the time and effort I put into it)

EDIT: I also forgot to mention the terrible ergonomic arrangement of the office which was unintentional, the door was supposed to be on the left but I ran out of room so put it at the back, making the desk side-on which is pretty stupid. Sorry folks!

Couldn't help but laugh when I saw it. They both look so serious about it but it's such a ridiculous idea. XD Very good piece. I don't mind if others draw my Mana.EXE character, as long as people know where she came from. I also need to start watching you too, I keep forgetting the add you.

*giggle* His pants done got stole!

On another note, Fandango's neon frames look REALLY funny in a dimly-lit scene.

You'll be pleased to learn they my very own boots are similar to those, and with purple flames on the toes and heels.
Unfortunately they don't have steel toecaps, though.

IggyHazard In reply to professorfandango [2005-08-22 18:43:11 +0000 UTC]

Would they happen to be New Rock or perhaps Underground? Underground makes bo0ts with external steel toe caps like the ones Kaptain H has.

They are, in fact, New Rock. Good eye.

IggyHazard In reply to professorfandango [2005-08-22 20:48:45 +0000 UTC]

Thanks. And g0od taste, by the way. I wasn't for sure if they were New Rocks since they were a drawing.

I know fo0tgear almost as well as I know guns. My long shank engineer clodhoppers are 16" Carolinas of demented do0m (with Jamin' Leather chain harnesses strapped to them).

Great lighting and atmosphere in this pic, really adds to that film noir look. Plus those boxers are just so darned cute!

Wow, a realistic and detailed office themed background! I really like the layout. And I didn't really get the impression that the desk was floating in the middle of the room, I saw it as being up against an invisible wall of some sort.

professorfandango In reply to ChemicalAlia [2005-08-22 16:59:24 +0000 UTC]

Well I meant it shouldn't be perpendicular to the door whilst being right in front of it, you usually have the desk facing the door.
