A (QUICK) PICTURE OF THE PECULIAR NICKLEBY "BLUDGER" PACKARD POSSUM:
This is "Bludger"... or at least to Buck A. Roo, who lives in the an unused chimney up in Buck A. Roo's rooftop. (ABOVE: His rather well-made, make-shift chimney apartment). His real name is Nickleby Packard Possum; apricot red tie, peachy nose, ivory fur, icy blue eyes, and with two little buck teeth at the front. Currently wearing dollar bill green overalls, and a nice, complimentary beige with mango yellow. His name is a reference to his favourite book: Charles Dicken's "Nicholas Nickleby" (which kinda relates to him). Is not actually rich-- rather 'lucky'. Previously a chimney sweeper, an odd strike of fate had him plummeting straight down Buck's chimney, almost like a present from Santa. His rather reclusive previous job makes him well known with the other poorer members of the town he lives in, with the rest. Now works with Buck at the 'Local Press' (journalism; news), though his poor grammar keeps Buck eyeing on him... a lot. Speaks lots of 50s slang. Can use modern slang, too.
Does this remind you of "The Royal Tenenbaums", in any way...?

SUB-TEXT/SYMBOLISM OF THIS PICTURE, AND NOTES + ACKNOWLEDGEMENT:
Wanted to toss this away, actually; line-art was so messy, and colors were really unrelated. Thought it was just some experiment for a new art style.
...Then I just realised there's lots of meaning to it, and a message-- just had to re-work it is all.

Originally just supposed to be showing a re-design of "Bludger" . That previous color scheme is atrocious-- didn't calibrate my monitor back then-- and didn't look anything like a possum! ...Well here's it's been worked on. But anywhoo, then there came this idea of mixing decadence, and vanity with a humble, and simplistic looking setting... which kinda reminds me of Die Antwoord's music video, Def Side"/"Beat Boy" . Actually got the idea from listening to some Lana Del Rey, and JAY-Z's "Watch The Throne" album. NOTE comma there. Design-wise, he's now a separate, entity from Crawford "Howell" Wolf, and Buck A. Roo.

The neatly-framed composition, taking place in a box-like frame, is reminiscent to vanitas, and portraiture. Storywise, it's like Buck A. Roo's ideals, and previous lifestyle are seeping into Bludger's own space. The baseball bat seems to have something to it, other than for Bludger to play baseball with, or (threaten to) smack someone, in case they break into his house 'cause he's a softie.

The name of this art, or 'portraiture' of Bludger, refers to his location, up in a rooftop, and also refers to his position-- literally high in the sky (or at least higher than others in the ground). The rooftop visible in the window (and the only thing visible, along with another chimney, and the clouds) makes reference to this in the art.

, you have my thanks and respect. Thanks for trying to watch anyway, especially when you were really busy with your own stuff. These guys-- not just great artists, but great pals, too. Check 'em out.
