As I write this, it's Saturday morning (but this won't appear until Sunday, lest I innundate you with posts), and while I've got stuff to work on, I don't have anything I want to work on. So I thought I'd try something.
I'm a big fan for Sean "Cheeks" Galloway's stuff. He's got such a fun, animated style. It reminds me a little bit of Claire Wendling, whose stuff I also love to pieces. So, I got inspired to try the style.
I didn't know what to draw first, but I had AMC's Mad Men on while I was mulling things over. As an aside, Mad Men is an interesting show, but it's also one of those shows that I can't figure out if I like. It's a fascinating time period, the New York advertising world in the 1960's. A time when they were advertising cigarettes and Nixon and everyone smoked. It's also got some bang-up actors, including Christina Hendricks and John Slattery. I first saw Christina Hendricks on Firefly and have had the pleasure to meet her in person a couple of times. I've never met John Slattery, but he did a great job on Ed taking a character that I shouldn't like and giving him depth, and then he did the same thing on Jack and Bobby. The show also features Vincent Kartheiser, who I think was much better than people give him credit for on Angel. The character was written whiny and mopey, but look how cool he was in the last couple of episodes.
Anyway, since I had Mad Men on, I decided to do a take on Christina and John's characters. I think the initial foray into this style worked well. I jumped out of my comfort zone and worked in one line weight, rather than the brushy style that I use on Love and Capes. I also played with proportions
