The Day the Music Died

I'm not sure what this is or why.
All I know is that that's no trumpet.

Ken Chandler said...: Another great sketch Shane! Love his expression! Reminds me of the High School Football half-time show... only more evil! Tube socks! When was the last time I wore those? 1979? Terrific illustration Shane.; June 16, 2006 11:14 AM

The trumpet gun is also very cool.

Something funny here... and, out.; June 16, 2006 2:00 PM
Seth Hippen said...: You forgot the trigger. Just kidding. I've never seen a trumpet-gun, so who am I to know what the trigger looks like? I love the alien. He/she kinda reminds me of a cross between a frog and a flea. Maybe it's a flog. Good job not going with the obvious slime coated exoskeleton alien. My alien (if I ever finish it) is slimey, I sheepishly admit. On top of that, I have that "Bye-bye Miss American Pie" song stuck in my head, but I blame the flog, not you.; June 16, 2006 4:47 PM

Lewis said...: You make a color layer and an outline layer in Photoshop, then you erase everything from the outline layer except for the outline, and you lock it so only the existing pixels can be colored. That probably doesn't make sense, but it's the best I can explain it. Let me know if you want a better explanation.; June 19, 2006 12:40 PM
Jed Henry said...: I like this dude. Like he's from a planet dedicated to John Phillip Sousa. That's kind of a funny idea, actually...; June 19, 2006 5:49 PM
