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.

Paul F said...

Oh, and nice work Dec. I love the Animal.

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.

Ha, pop-art muppets, genius Dec.

Declan Shalvey said...

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.

Declan Shalvey said...

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

Damn.

Stephen Mooney said...

Yup. do it now.

I also would've gone with blue behind Gonzo, Green behind Kermit, brown behind Fozzie etc. But sure whaddo I know....

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!

Stephen Mooney said...
