Illustration Friday: Gluttony.

My very first thought when I read this weeks theme: Wow. Specific. There's no way in hell I'm going to do something about food, though. That's exactly what everyone else will be doing.

My second thought: Nothing with politics or a globe, either. Especially a globe being eaten.

Then I remembered something.

So off in the wilds of Alaska and Canada, there's this nasty little mountain predator called a wolverine. You've probably heard of it. But an alternate name for it, due to its repulsive hunting and eating habits, is glutton.

So this guy here, he's playing at being a glutton.

It's gluttony.

Ah. Another week, another I.F. just barely on topic.

You can view the rest of this week's entries, as usual, here.

I swear to god I considered doing a picture of a wolverine. Then I realized I'd have to research it
(unless I drew the superhero).

Your picture looks great as usual.

Okay, fixed the link. No idea what was going on, there. I guess the submission script isn't too crazy about Firefox.

Thanks, marina. And thanks for the compliments, everybody!

Did you, by chance, use ArtRage on this? Looks good.

Someday I'll pay you hundreds of dollars to paint a giant torso in my bedroom wall.

This is awesome.

Nah, it's not ArtRage. I chickened out and went with openCanvas instead because it was familiar.

It's fully digital, though. I didn't sketch it out in pencil first and then scan a guide, so I'm sorta proud of that.
