"Duet"

This was for last week's Illustration Friday topic, "duet."

One of the first things I thought of when I saw the topic was symbiotic animal relationships, like those little birds who pick the little bits of meat out of crocodile's teeth... Then I remembered the Honeyguide Bird, and the Honey Badger. The bird is really good at finding beehives, but not capable of cracking them open. The badger is strong enough to break open hives, but not good at finding them. So they work together, making up for each other's weaknesses and reaping the rewards. A beautiful "duet."

Nothing but a Hound Dog

Drawing some sad, wrinkly dogs for an upcoming illustration....

Inked

So I haven't posted in a long while... mostly because I've been busy doing ink drawings for clients (and for myself), and I rarely remember to scan 'em. Here's a few though.

Skull Mask

 

I just realized that I forgot to upload the finished piece.

I created it to go with my Voodoo Witch costume for Halloween this year.

Illustration Friday: Spooky
