Nichole – Gotcha!!?! - Commission

Jirris' adorable blue skunk Nichole in the old (pre-expansion) style.

I had always wanted to draw her so i wuz jazzed when he commissioned me...and i rushed and did some poses...and then some more...and...nope. Just not happening. I was baffled – why wasn't it working ? Then the clouds parted, horns blared and i appeared to myself in a vision saying “Because they're just 'poses' - she isn't doing anything, you shmuck!!! Tell me a story!” And then the vision of myself slapped me and disappeared.

So i went with a sort of 40's cartoon style scenario – Nichole having a picnic, trying to enjoy her pie when a pesky squirrel shows up....Here she thinks she has trapped the pest under the pie lid (not such a bright idea) and lifts it up to find him gone. Etcetcetc, Hi-jinx ensue, with everyone eventually being covered with pie.

There is a colour version that's about half done – should be up in a week or so.
