Illustration Friday - Red
Blast off for adventure on the Red Planet with … these little guys!
I inked these sciuridae with the brush pen, and then colored the line and inside the line with Photoshop. I “painted” the background in P-Shop too, returning to that scatter brush I used in “Buzz.” The original pencil sketch was about 8X6″, a little too small for the brush pen. Next time I’ll blow the sketch up larger before I ink it.
(Trevor - well, I hope you’re happy. I’m a link-fiend now, thanks to your shenanigans.)

It’s like Pinky and the Brain meets Chip and Dale’s Rescue Rangers meets Buzz Lightyear. But they’re squirrels!
I really like it. Well done illustration.
It is lovely !
Rhythmical movement of your picture is very attractive.

Nice action! I like that little guy’s confidence with his ray gun.His purple suit reminds me of the awesome Wonder Twins. Maybe he’s a distant relative of Zan and Jayna?
I can’t stress how friggin’ cool these characters are! I can’t wait to put your plans in motion! I’m gonna start hording nuts to prepare for the role.
