THE MUPPETS

















Yikes. Tough act to follow from yesterday.

Anyway, I've been up for 24 hours or so and am also jetlagged so when I wake up in a day's time, I really hope this piece still looks okay to me. I think it came out okay, but i might also be slowly going insane. You decide.

[EDIT] Here's a more Pop-Art-ified version.

    I'd love this as a poster! Top notch work Dec. (Controversial inclusion of Pepe . . . ?)

    I needed a small character for that panel. I thought of putting in Robin, but I didn't think another frog below Kermit would work.

    Glad you like it sir.

    I like Pepe. Muppets Tonight was my first exposure to most of the Muppets characters.

    Rizzo, Shalvey! RIZZO! Pepe is certainly the most likeable of the new wave of Muppets that arrived with Muppets Tonight but we really didn't need Clifford, Andy & Randy Pig and Seymour (originally of Pepe & Seymour).

    It'll be interesting to see Jason Segel's forthcoming Muppet film with the promise of a return to focusing on the original characters albeit with one new character - 'Walter' - who, depending on what source you read is apparently going to be voiced by Paul Rudd.

    If i drew Rizzo I would have to have drawn him bigger, since he's a more prominent character. I could get way with a tiny Pepe though

    Oh, and thanks Paul.

    Y'know, to make it more of a 'Pop Art' piece, I really should have done a colour hold on all the linework.

    Damn.

    Neato. Kinda reminds me of the BLVD guy's sketchbook covers.

    This is amazing! Nice one Dec.

    I actually like seeing the black line work, but yeah, the updated colors are really "pop"art for sure.

    It's like Celebrity Squares too!
