So I'm super freaking excited... I finally picked up a pencil again...
See, after the Grubat Commander I kinda thought "Shit, now I've got this high expectation of myself"...
WELL I STILL FREAKING DO!
I dunno, something like a year ago I found out that my best friend from second grade is in a band, and to me that's pretty exciting. I offered to do some art of each member of So Long Davey...
PREFACE: See, this cat is kinda the reason I started drawing and writing as a kid. When we were little he would always come up with some rad new character and some art for it. He'd have a clever and witty name, backstory and powers. He made short films and stop motion animation. In like, fourth grade. I always wanted to be a part of the things he did, and I grew up trying to match up to everything he did when we were kids.
I did short films in high school, I did hand drawn animation, art, writing. Even dabbled in music (Hopefully some day I'll scream in a punk band).
And here my lazy ass is, a year later, actually drawing this stuff.
David Vaughn, best friend from second grade, lead singer of So Long Davey, and the best damned drawing I've done in some time. I hope you enjoy it. Look for the other three members of the band within the next two weeks, and hopefully a neat album cover concept I want to do with it.

This is my practice for the SLD piece. My supervillain The Gut. Close arm came out kinda funny. I always wondered why there were certain niches of villains and heroes that got the short end of the stick and became like... Comic relief.
To me, The Blob was one of those characters that could have been soooo menacing. And he was reduced to being ridiculed for his weight. I mean, the amount of body fat made him practically invincible, imagine how hard he could hit with that weight!
The Gut is intended to be a PMC experiment in Super Genetics. He possesses the ability to inflate his body fat or reduce it at will. He throws a punch, BAM! Inflates his arm and hits you like a truck. You punch him? No you don't, he has a giant gut!
Don't even mention his body slam...
His whole costume is spandexy, including the boots. The metal pieces are designed to spread apart a little bit to accommodate his cankles. I'd put more metal pieces on, but I'd rather have it simple. Keep It Simple... Silly...
