Dirt
The subject of this episode of Barefoot Kraken is dirt. (Brought to you by Nat, who enjoys coming up with evil topics whenever possible.)
I was tempted to just draw a pile of it, but that was a little too boring, even for revenge. And anyway, how could I pass up any opportunity to draw a creepy kid?
Rats!
After a bit of a hiatus, Barefoot Kraken returns—with the subject of rats. And so I give you a glimpse of that verminous animal in its natural state: preparing to maul your ankles off.
(Please note: The above description unfortunately perpetuates a false stereotype for the purposes of humor. In actuality, rats are much more likely to go for your eyes first.)
Nose
This week’s Barefoot Kraken features that most helpful of organs, the nose. (Rachel’s, here ›)
Anyway, as I’m going to be off vacationizing for the next week and a half, don’t go all crazy and stab yourself in the armpit if the site goes without an update for a while. Consider yourself properly warned.
Mascot
So here’s this week’s Barefoot Kraken, regarding that all-important team-spirit building device, the mascot.
Now I realize that for some of you, this whole mascot fad may be a bit confusing, so I’ve done some research and developed a guide for anyone wanting to get in on it, as the kids say.
Uncle Nathan’s Guide to Mascots and the Creation Thereof
Step one: Pick an animal. For the least confusion, this should be either a cougar, eagle, or tiger. That way if you move from one school to another, there will be an 82% chance that you won’t have to buy new merchandise.
Step two: Draw your animal snarling in rage with claws extended, because nothing says team spirit like “I’m going to rip out your jugular and strangle you with it.”
Step three: If your animal lacks the appropriate features to instill a decent amount of fear while growling, you may opt for giving it huge biceps instead. Because it obviously works out. Even though it’s just a bird.
Step four: Take your muscle-bound, fang-baring mascot and create a costume that might possibly be the same animal, but could pass for a cuddly polar bear if need be. Then tell someone to put it on and dance around the court like a psychotic easter bunny. Because that’ll show the other team you mean business.
Exasperation
Don’t you just hate it when that happens?
Anyway, here’s the second installment of the official Nathan and Rachel Simultaneousish Illustration of the Week, or, as it should probably be called, Barefoot Kraken. And yes, I’m sure you noticed that last week was slightly without it… but that’s only because of the impertinent lack of submitted material. I shall expect a better showing from you people this time. <scowls menacingly>
Moth
Okay, so Rachel and I are starting a new project. Every week we’ll both post a drawing based on the same topic, which is hopefully provided by you people.
This week’s is moth, obviously, and was suggested by Rosemary. If you have any ideas for next week’s topic, let us know in the comments!
