Okay, so. Pretty much I'm done with finals, and today we successfully moved my grandmother into her new living space. So to celebrate, I finished up this weird as all get-out picture I had sitting in my WIP folder.

It's, um, hard to explain, but basically a few months ago I was being all pretentious and metaphorical and allegorical and decided to draw these weird super-symbolical pictures of the Silver Beat lads. And then I colored this one.

So. Saul--the Prince, the Buck, the Fool.

Obviously this is not a fair representation of what he wears on a regular basis.

The symbolic stuff becomes irredeemably stupid if I try to explain it. Honestly, the whole piece is somewhat irredeemably stupid, but it has a certain je ne sais quois that compelled me to finish it up. Might try to finish the others, as well. They are equally ridiculous.

The quote scribbled on the image is from a passage I wrote a while ago for inclusion in a later story.

Oh, and I think the hand-holding-heart imagery was inspired by a piece by ~otherwise

p.s. now months later I hate his calves augh why did I make them so stick-like. This is what happens when you put off coloring an image.

8( Nothing with antlers can every be in the category of stupid. THE WOLFY HAS SPOKEN.

I think it's a very interesting piece! I also find it's kind of cool that he's barefoot. Congrats on finishing your finals and getting your gramma moved in!

Leslie. Leslie, this is ridiculous. So, so, so, so so so ridiculous. <3

I will say this, though: Saul works it well.

I am digging the skin tones here. And also the hairiness as we are all agreed upon. Niftiful composition as well!

Haha, well, this is true. ANTLERS ARE PRETTY MUCH INSTANT WIN.

Heh, thanks! I like drawing bare feet, although I don't often get the chance.

I REGRET NOTHING

Well, almost nothing. It's incredibly goofy but IT SURE WAS FUN. And yes Saul is clearly enjoying himself to the full here.

Thanks! The skin tones were a total blast to do--secretly, skin is always my favourite thing to render and I do it first thing on every piece.

FORWARD THE HAIRY REVOLUTION

Or words to that effect.

Thanks! I like drawing feet, but don't get enough excuse. These turned out surprisingly well.
