I love your bold chunky colors so much

lol thats cute
that cover is horrible

Man, I love the mix of higher rendering mixed with the areas of laid down flat color. It's really attractive. It looks especially cool on Gerik.

Loving this Bremen project, by the way.

This is really quite fantastic, plus I really like The Mamas & The Papa's.

Why can't it be snowing yet?

the atmosphere and colors. as always, impeccable.

oh! I used to rock out to Hi-Standard CDs back in my punk-bar-scene days... good times that..

i've really been adoring this series invovling these characters. This is awesome dude.

What i'm really liking the colors you do for this. It really gives the whole series a unified feeling. The fact that you keep them involved in backgrounds ( though this is common in most of your work) really helps flesh them out as people rather than just neat character designs. I love the personality in all of your work. The series and this picture especially proves my point :3

Gerik is lookin so fly. There is a great conflict of behaviors here.
Frost on the windows, feathers in the wind

Miah is just frickin' cold.

I love this group. It's absolutely amazing. :P I can't wait to see more of them.

Every time you draw these guys I get more and more sucked in to the story. It's lovely!

Me too :) I think that's a good thing

I think you've created a wonderful modern adaptation of the classic. I love following this.

I don't know how you do it, but your image composition skills really are impressive. :>

i use pairing a lot, almost every individual element is paired with something similar, this activates the space between these connections as the viewer's eye is aware of both things together at the same time. The two windows, two lines of type, two figural groups (left and right) and even pairs within pairs (Miah and Gerik), the two flares of her scarf. the clump of feet and her sole extended foot. Warren's two shoes. Gerik's two prominent tail feathers. His two spurs. The double humps of snow, and the near/far snow banks make a double swelling negative shape between them. Gerik's shed feathers are in pairs and then pairs of pairs.

Working in double tend to echo and vibrate around the periphery, making interconnections that hold the image together. If you have an image full of singular, unrelated elements, it will look choatic, which is fine if that's what you want. I try to pair up large and small scale shapes for cohesion.

HE'S SO EXCITED~ What a fun pic~ His energy just fills the whole piece and fills in the two sulky ones ahead~ Haha~

I like the tambourine man ... *tries to wear a triangle necklace and chokes*

This is an awesome scene.
Love the chicken

He seem to be.... quite an.... interesting character. A great drug connection, if nothing else....

My favorite part is when I can zoom in and look at all the pretty details

Guh, I love the atmosphere of all of your artwork. I know it's yours before I even see the name below the thumbnail. The difference in movement and appearance and personality, here, is fabulous.

And I'm a huge, huge fan of Miah. <3

Poor Miah, one of the obvious disadvantages to being a Sphinx is evident here. Also, Gerick has that "coolest motherf*cker on the planet" vibe going on, and comb piercing=win. And I love Warren in this pic so much, I can just imagine asking him anything and he'd respond right now with "I like tuttles!" XD

DRUMMERS.

LOVE.

the tambourine collar! i love it. i love that he's too souped up on energy to care that it's snowing.

Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

"i was told it was catnip"

o wait

wait

I love how much character these guys have. :)

California is full of grit, cockleburs, crazies, and exploding neighborhoods.

I'd rather live in Chicago in deepest Winter.

I adore the colours you use, as well as the lineless style.

Still loving the dog character, too!

thanks for introducing me to hi standard

Miah is in desperate need of a tail scarf. Also Gerik is so _little_. I love it!

he is :) but she's also a little leggy/tall, too. but yeah, short chicken is short.

♫ I'll be safe and warm...

Ahaha, the tambourine collar, LOVE IT

I also love how Warren is topless while Miah looks absolutely miserable. Poor thing needs some pointier earmuffs and a tail sock.

I think Miah might want to get a breast binder?

lol lovin the cat and the rooster...the cat must be frrrrreeezzzing and the rooster is so chilled :D

Tamborine as a collar idea.
awesome.

Why is Warren all shirtless all the time? It's like you're saying that dogs like being naked 24/7 or something and that is slanderous! :seriousface:

no, just this one. i know somebody like this :)

dogs are extremely varied folks, i understand <3

That cover sounds so wrong, but Warren looks so right. I love the Curious George's "Man in the Yellow Hat" yellow shorts. They are spectacular.

thanks

*wishes ham sandwiches were banned*

i wish ham sandwiches were in my mouth.

all of them.

bacon, ham and pulled pork sandwich!

<---- PUT HERE, OPEN FOR BUSINESS.

With a side fries and a dill pickle spear, that will be $5.50

"fine you eclectic crew of motley mutts! Play three sets and its on the house"

also I have to watch you on my other "clean" account. I feel bad faving this stuff on this one :P

I love this one, it reminds me of some times back in Michigan. During which I really wanted to move out to California, hoo boy have there been second thoughts about that.

And that's a great cover! I can see why the dog would like it.

I'm soooo enjoying Warren's personality.

Aww she has to bundle up more cause shes hairless

"Winter, what winter? I've got lots of fur and endless energy!"

I get a bit of a little drummer boy vibe from him, for some reason.

And yeah, Miah's ski mask and scarf and earwarmers make perfect sense for someone with no fur and big ears.

I keep going back to this ... this piece is really growing on me. The contrast between Gerik and Miah's demeanor on one side, and Warren on the other is just great. I'm loving it more and more.

Thanks :)

OMFG!! Japanese thrash!!! Sorry, it's just....LAUGH!!!!

Anyway...Great widescreen effect, just like a still from a movie. Snow effect is spot-on, too. And Warren!!! SILLY DOGGIE!! Hee heee, he's bouncing around, catching snowflakes on his tongue while the other two are like "........ftt...yeah, whatev...it's fuckin' cold..."

This has a lot of feeling in it! And it's fun!

Me First and the Gimme Gimmes covered it better :)

Man I loved the mixed media look.

Heh, everyone's saying Miah's bundled up cause she's hairless. I just thought it was cause she's from the South.

GRITS are love yes :)

I'm thinking something midwest though, but yeah, basically the same thing.

Warren is wearing nothing but shorts and shoes in the middle of winter with a tamborine collar while he jumps around for the sheer joy of it.
...He is gonna be fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun!

Oh man... that song (the one by hi-standard) brings back memories of my punk days <3
I never thought I'd hear that song again XD

i looove this .... but god damn that hi-standard whatever band ... jesus fuck hoooooooorrrrrid and i fucking love punk music :C

I looked at this while listening to the cover and...it's kind of perfect. XD
I crave MOAR of this project. It is wonderful
