Description The title is supposed to be "Ned McDodd is a Little Bit Odd" but apparently I am not free to express my Seussical rhythmaticness so I had to shorten it a wee bit. I hope it still works okay.

This is my first attempt at drawing my favorite character from the movie, Horton Hears A Who. I formerly believed his name was Ned O'Malley, however, when I saw the movie yesterday, I noticed that the narrator said his name was "McDodd" when Ned walked out to get the paper and inadvertently spill his coffee. Ned and Steve Carell (his voice) are both awesome and this movie was/is surprisingly amazing. So if you haven't seen it already... What're you waitin' for?! I drew this with a regular HB pencil... yup that's about it. I am peeved that my scanner cut off the tips of his fingers because I was really proud of his hands... oh well it's still dandy. I also really like how his mayoral pin turned out, I was worried the detail would get all skewed when I scanned it.

Okay a story for y'all: Last night when I was ushering for this fundraiser we had at our town theatre, I was introduced to the auctioneer for the evening. His last name was Wolter and he had a gold pin on his suit jacket with a "W" on it. If I hadn't been worried that he would think I was insane, I probably would have said something like, "I'mtalkingtotheMAYOR!!!!" reminiscent of Horton's line, or something else like that. I just thought that was so cool. I bet he could sell it on eBay if he wanted to.

"Hey, hon, did you ever get the feeling that you were being watched... and that maybe that thing watching you is... uhhhhaahhhhuuhhhhmmmmmaaa... Giant Elephant?"

Wowzers! Thank you ever so much. I truly wish you the best of luck in your Ned endeavors! He is really quite fun to draw. My favorite scene is the quite long bit from the Dentist office all the way until Ned gets home and is trying to warn Sally about the impending doom of having your world being carried by an elephant. I am very thankful for your comments and I hope you find your own fun in drawing the amazing character that is Ned McDodd! >'.'< miau Jess

Will do. He's adorable, ain't he? My favourite part would have to be... hmm. Perhaps from when he's going "...Oooooh-kay, THAT happened," when the house builds itself, to the part his voice goes all squeaky when the committee is all staring down at him. xD Squee...

VERY VERY WELL Done!! I have a HUGE Crush on Steve Carell and he's a VERY Talented Actor.. I've always wanted to hear his voice in an animated film, and I couldn't be more pleased with the character he voices in Horton Hears A Who! Yes.. I Kelly.. a 20 year old woman ADORE this film and I have a HUGE Crush on Ned.. He's sexy looking and sounding.. what can I say? His son isn't that bad either (hehe) Great angles, Shading and lighting! I am blown away by this picture.. it's the best Fan-art pic I've seen of him so far! *LOVE*

Goodness... *blushes* Thank you ever so much. I drew this at my Aunt's house and I think she was starting to worry, cuz this movie was all I talked about when I got there, and then, dun dun dun, I whipped out the old drawing tackle box. (I keep my pencils, erasers, and blendy thingies separated in a tackle box cuz I believe I have OCD a little... ^^) Watching Dan in Real Life (Steve Carell *Squeee* and an awesome movie as far as movies go, by the way) later probably didn't help matters much. I'm super glad you like this and I thank you for all of the sweet comments. >'.'< miau
