Legacy LD5

Hi everyone - RipRoarRex here, about to take a big art dump all over the forums with my 'June 2012' batch!



First up... Nope. Haven't gotten over Alan-a-Dale yet, folks.



This is picture one of my 'June 2012' batch, and the third time I've drawn Alan - AKA the rooster from Disney's Robin Hood - but it's the first time I've ever tried drawing him doing anything stompy. (After all, sadly it seems nobody has!)



People who follow my work will surely know that I don't generally bother with 'accidental' stomps, largely because I much prefer malicious, carefully-aimed deliberate stompage! But somehow I just felt it didn't suit Alan. For whatever reason, he just strikes me as too nice a guy to go around squashing people. Hence, I decided to try out an 'unaware' scenario.

I thought the little bug characters I used in last year's Timon crush/vore comic were rather cute and fun to draw, and they do seem to fit the Disney style rather well. As such, I decided to revive the character design in this picture. In keeping with the friendly nature of the picture though, I thought I would make them a willing victim to a figure they admire, enjoying the happy accident that has befallen them - and without all the squirtings of bright green bug juice that littered the last comic!



I didn't want to stray too far from the Disney styling but nor did I want to go overboard with detail/anatomy on this one, so hopefully I've found a happy medium, though there are a few errors here and there. But even so, I'm pretty pleased with the way it has come out.

As for the background, I had already decided that I wanted to keep it simple, so I went with 'islands' of setting on a plain white backing. It wasn't just laziness, I assure you!



Anyway, enjoy the birdy talons - and the rest of the batch!

That's the funny thing about meeting your favourite movie stars. They can leave a lasting impression on you, even if they might not realise it.

You're just the right size / to stomp the buggy guys / But you're not T-Rex / You're a chicken, Dale.
A welcome break from your run of mean-spirited giants. Nice work!

*covers eyes at Sprotchy's toony rhyme*

You've really mastered that fleshy look - the soft diffused shadows and slight sheen around the edges. You make it look effortless, damnit!

I might do the same. But I've no idea what it is because the video's just returning "An error occured during validation. (Sorry about that.)"

Lol!

But thanks anyway, Sprotch!



It certainly isn't effortless. It generally takes HOURS.



But glad it's worth it! Thanks, D!
