Slythe

I watched  The THUNDERCATS yesterday; the original 80's cartoon. Got inspired to draw SLYTHE. I always loved this character, maybe because I like lizards and reptiles so much...or maybe I like lizards so much because of watching Slythe on this show? Hmmm. I'll have to think about that.

Ugly

That's melted ice cream meant to look like runny mascara under his eyes, and the ice cream cone on his nose...a rhino I guess? It's just plain freaky looking.

horse background...3 WAYS!

Starts off all nice and happy in the top pic. Then it starts to get a bit foreboding in the second pic. And finally it gets down right gloomy and miserable for this poor fella.

Aardman Animations

It wasn't until I finished this scene and played it back that it instantly reminded me of Aardman Animations work. The shifty, darting eyes, the mouth shapes, and the timing are all very reminiscent of Wallace and Gromit  or my personal Aardman favorite, Creature Comforts. I imagine if Aardman films were in 2D instead of Claymation or Stop-Motion, they would look something like this.
