Crypto Collectibles presents @ArsenicLullaby for #TrialByComics Steemit Artist Interpretations
An entry for @kommienezuspadt's Trial by Comics with this week's theme being Steemit Artist Interpretations. The rules kind of messed me up a little as they were "I want to see your interpretations of your favorite Steemit artists in your own style." and I am not sure what my style is. I find that I enjoy doing pencils a lot without finishing out in colors, and sometimes just not even finishing out drawings at all. I also enjoy parody / homage stuff related to comic books. So if this is a style, then there you go. I picked as the topic, the great comic book writer, artist, and Steemian Douglas Paszkiewicz ( @arseniclullaby ).
Douglas' uses VooDoo Joe's zombie fetus "Ike" as his avatar here on Steemit and so I used as the focus for the drawing. I had been reading my Arsenic Lullaby trade and was kind of having in mind Cthulhu throwing the car in the Action Comics #1 cover homage but decided on an Ike throwing a Hot Wheels.
You will see in the process pics below I also had other elements like VooDoo Joe there but ended up taking him out as when I proportioned him better it was just too much distraction in the background as well as stopped looking like the Action Comics cover. Fork turned to knife, I decided against any logos on the soda can and toy car. I pulled out a ruler for this drawing. Made up some font lettering. This is also the second time I have fanboy'd out over Douglas' great Arsenic Lullaby and been inspired to draw.

well done!
...those fetus eyes turned out very good, btw
Thanks! Glad you don't hate if I fan art some of your characters. This is going to sound weird and I have no idea if this was a decision you made purposely or what. But I found the spirals actually went the same way most of the time, but then I found a couple where it did not match and at that moment I felt more free to spiral any way. I wish I made the actually fetus' a little more "dumpier" body type and heads less circular (only when I look at it now, when I was done I was happy with it all).
That's a good question actually. The first time I put one on a cover I purposefully made sure they were going in two different directions, but as time went on and I started working with a brush...I just kinda said "ah the hell with it"
This is awesome!
