Here's something I finished yesterday for a class project about Canadian history. I chose Superman because he's great and was also co-created by Canadian-born illustrator Joe Shuster!
I was inspired by 2 things:
1. This commercial they used to play all the time when I was a kid
2. I didn't want to draw something boring
It's a play on this early ultra-American Superman cover
You nailed the look! Well done! The idea of a beaver climbing up Superman's body, or him picking one up by the scruff and putting it on his shoulder, had me laughing out loud. I love it.
This blog is where I will be posting school projects, as well as pieces from the past that I still like. The images on the blog are all from the period between 2005 and the present. I love to design characters and creatures, both real and imagined, so you can expect to see your fair share of both. I do a lot of anatomical studies, so you can bet on seeing a lot of naked guys and animals with no skin, but it's all part of the learning process. We'll try to enjoy it. Together.
"Plan to Fail" comes from a popular phrase my dad told me when I was just finished high school and just wanted to play video games all day instead of getting a job. He said "Tom, if you fail to plan, you plan to fail". It hit me like a ton of bricks, and it's still part of my central out look of the world. I become more and more aware of it's truthfulness and validity all the time. Always have a plan, and if you're too stupid for that, then just set goals for yourself. Either way, always move forward, always explore, always ask questions, always think for yourself, always challenge authority, and especially, always challenge yourself.

Ah! I love it, Tom! I also enjoy your portrayal of the majestic beaver.
