IF: Remedy


"Little Benny is off to remedy a pest problem"

Howdy,

When the theme "Remedy" for Illustration Friday came about, this came to my head.  I suppose I always had a thorough and maybe a tad bit on the overkill side when it comes to remedying certain problems.  I got bitten by bedbugs while I was in an Austrian hostel and this is exactly what I wanted to do...eradicate the nasty little creatures from the face of the planet.  This is hand drawn and then scanned into Photoshop for colouring.

I went hiking again today. Went hiking in the rain and mud in the Dandeong ranges and treated myself to scones afterwards.  Not a bad day at all.  Keeping active and having a balance between work and staying at home all the time and just trekking outdoors really helps me focus on what I need to do.

    In that case I adore that cat helmet! Also thank you for visiting my blog as well! Did you work 4 hours straight or did you stretch it out taking breaks in between?

    Thanks again :) @lilbit: that's 2 hours for concept, sketch, clean up and shade. Then break. Then 2 hours or a bit less for photoshoping :D

    This is great! Love your sense of humor and hope that you don't have to experience bedbugs again, or you really will find some way to nuke 'em huh? ;) Also, thanks for visiting my blog!
