Poodles are either the goofiest dogs ever, or the creepiest. Maybe a combination of both.
But mostly just creepy.

Over time the story became somewhat cloudy and muddled (sometimes it wasn’t a squirrel, but a rat), but the smith ever after maintained that it was the most stunning revelation he’d ever had. “If that vermin hadn’t decided to relax on the sun-warmed hull of my latest creation,” he told his chair (he was pushing 80), “I’d never have realized what I’d been missing all these years.”
And medieval war-fashion was never the same.

How I managed to get a copy of this image I shall not say, for I do not want to expose any of my trusted spies as they go about their surreptiotios business throughout the inner workings of the video game industry’s sewer pipes and coat closets. Anyway, it’s quite obviously a bit of concept art for LucasArts’ Monkey Island 5: The Force of Monkey Island.
Personally, I think this looks like a good start, and seems to point toward a good deal of simian-Jedi action, battling the minions of LeChuck The Ghost Zombie Demon Colossus Sith Pirate.

Excerpt from the diary of Hedgewold von Bufhousen
July 15, 1992
Dear Eloise,
This may come as a shock to you, but I was right all along. That creepy bear from the Wellinghouse Foundation’s annual Donation Drive and Chariot Race hates me.
I woke up from a deep, and what would have been rejuvenating, sleep around three o’clock in the morning to see it standing in my doorway, an eggbeater gripped in its villainously-stuffed paws. I was so startled, that I believe I fainted quite away. Upon rising in the morning, I found my entire shoelace collection a horrendous mess of frayed tangles – as if someone had taken an eggbeater to it. I believe this is more than mere coincidence.
From now on, I shall take a can of Raid to bed with me.

Well, here’s a quick portrait of the crazy parrot herself. (At the moment deciding whether or not she really wants to trust that I haven’t booby-trapped the new perch I just installed.)

Well, at least he’s having fun, I guess.
Now that I think about it, he does seem to be into rather extreme sports, doesn’t he? I wonder what he’ll do next then…
Bungy jumping? Skydiving?
Maybe he and his good pal Renfield will go whaling…
Any ideas?
As Rachel was quick to point out regarding the problem with drawing trees (in the previous post), “Dead and/or leafless trees are easier and more interesting.” This is quite true, of course.
However, it also works as a general rule of thumb for other subjects. Cats, for instance.


This one’s just to make sure you guys don’t think I’m going soft since I haven’t really posted any disturbing pictures lately.
So here, folks, you can see what would probably work best as a bit of concept art for Revenge of the Velveteen Rabbit.

Besides being the perfect title for a children’s book, this also demonstrates that the only somewhat-appropriately named flying dragons are not the only lizards capable of a gliding flight. Tokay geckos are also known to indulge in the sport from time to time.
