Barbaric Traditionsby $y2jenn

Scraps

Okay, one last holidays related pic this year. There's only days left so I figured that was enough excuse to do as many cheesy holidays pics as possible.

This time i've completely bastardized Calvin and Hobbes. I don't think I got the characters right. However, I think that's all due to the wonderful vision we've had of them for so long. Putting them in my style (much like the Peanuts) just doesn't seem to do them justice. But it was fun giving it a go anyway.

I used a little reference. Mostly for Calvin's winter clothes and for which horrific snowman I wanted to use!

The two headed one has always been my favorite... that and the one with the icecream scoop in his back. That's just delightfully sick.

Calvin looks a lot like my little brother did at that age. It's almost creepy.

As always, if you got any crits, lemme have them! And despite what I might think I did to them, please enjoy this one last holidays pic. I truly hope you guys had a wonderful year and here's to many more to come. Thanks for lookin!

My ma sent me an email with six or seven Calvin and Hobbes snowman strips in it. All of which i've read a zillion times before.

Thanks so much! I was so scared to draw these two in my style.

Calvin and Hobbes Rules! That cartoon and it's psychotic snowmen just cracked me up

I've tried to make some of Calvin's monstrous creations...but it's much easier to draw then build. Excellent interpretation of the dynamic duo!

Yay calvin and hobbes! They inspired so many of my own deranged mutant killer snow goons, but none o mine came to life

. I love this pic, but as it sez critique encouraged, i have this to say:
#1. Hobbes' scarf????
#2. somethin about the nose and/or hair on calvin seems a lil off to me...maybe just the shape of the 1st one.
dont get me wrong, im not tryin to sound like a picky jerk here, so let me reiterate:
YAY Calvin and Hobbes!

I like it. Even though Calvin always wore black pants... [C&H has always been my favorite comic.] ^^

Ode to my Badge There's a creature in my space.
He wasn't there before.
Tiny, brown and wears a hat,
really fancies up the decor!

He brings high society to my page.
I'm under dressed and my sophistication low.
His classy presence is unfloundering,
a sparkling monocle and suit in tow.

He's cheerful and quite dapper.
And though he hasn't been here long,
there's already stories about him
beating a ninja with a sword so strong.

I suspect his power is in the hat.
There's certainly enough room in there!
Room for gadgets, snacks and energy drinks
and a mysterious cape, I do declare!

I'm unsure of how long his visit will be

Ask any artist about “emptiness&#x 201D; and they’ll tell you about the constant recurring nightmarish emptiness they must face down almost every day as a part of their vocation: the blank space that they must fill. Whether he’s a painter facing a blank canvas or she’s...
