What a great first entry! I love that his occupation is "hero". Great expression, great colors.
Welcome to the TC!
Very funny Ken. I love the bemused expression on your hero's face. And the list of his attributes adds to the fun. I like your nice clean design as well.
Nice Ken!
He's so powerful! So I'm guessing he just decided to go ahead and get the logo tattooed to his chest? Sure, it looks great now - but it's just going to be saggy and weird about 60 years down the road (or "200 miles" at his incredible pace... if he never stops for a nap or a meal).
It's great, Ken... as could be expected. Nice work.
I went to your own blog, and I really like your style. Well done.
Adrian, Mark, & Guy,
Many thanks! I had a lot of fun with it, perhaps that made a difference. Something about slugs is either gross or funny depending on your experience with them. I think they're funny.
Shane, Actually the sign on his chest is a refrigerator magnet. Y'see he was screaming along (late for a date with destiny) and didn't see the staple on the road in front of him. Before he knew what had hit him he'd run over the staple which was instantly embedded in his chest, then, because he was going so fast (for a slug) he skidded into a half a dozen trash cans and their contents were dumped. An 'S' shaped refrigerator magnet in the garbage stuck to the staple. The Slug was born and destiny was fulfilled.
Thanks Joe, I aim to please. This is a really great topic!
What a great club!
Hey Ken,
Glad to see you aboard. Awesome work. I love the blank expression, and you've made him cuddley enough to where I could actually see a slug as a plush toy. Well done!
Thanks Peter. Isn't if funny how as a kid that stuff was sooo cool, but looking back on it, we blush at our 'uncoolness'. Weird how life does that to us. Darned maturity!
Seth, Many thanks! Cuddly slugs... plush toys... Hmmm. You might be onto something there. I'll invite you up to the mansion when your idea makes me rich beyond my wildest dreams. Thanks guys, for making me feel welcome. This really is a great club. I'm excited about the new topic Seth, it's a keeper!
