BANSHEEEEE!


Continuing our week long paddy day thematic posts. Here's Banshee. Apparently an Irish X-Man. You can tell because he's got ginger hair. And sideburns. (And to help you further, just imagine he's singing 'When Irish Eyes are Smiling' while drinking a tiny guinnes. In his giant hands. With his giant head.)

I apologise for the awfulness of this image. I can only hope you're all still drunk when you see it.

Also: you should be following me on twitter, if you aren't already ... www.twitter.com/pauljholden

Still drunk here and it looks great. He could do with some of those wunnerful drunk bubbles over his head. I'm so out of touch, I never knew there was an Irish x-man. Now that I think about it wasn't, Galactus from Leitrim?

Also Banshee is the only Irishman who could theoretically kill a lot of people by singing ' when Irish eyes are smiling'. Nice piece PJ, the brown colouring gives it a real olde timey look.

This is great. The blog NEEDS more sideburns, dammit.
Also, I love brown.

Another hit PJ. Should get more X-folk up on this here blog.

Really like the pencil rendering, overall brown and light highlights. Nice touch, sir.

I think Galactus was from Sligo, actually.

I was imagining him singing "Toora-loora-loora (that's an Irish Lullaby)" myself.
