Description This is some fan art for a Let's Player on youtube whom I've grown fond of. He LPs classic games for the most part and is into contact juggling which I tried to mimic with a lively pose. Didn't come out as planned, but I'm still very happy with the final piece.

I remember you showing this to me on AIM while you were working on it. :3
I thought it was awesome then, and it's still stellar now~
I love the movement and all the little game sprites in the background.

So if this is Zeta, where is his giant Wheel of Crap?

Nice use of the contact juggling ball though. :3

It's there in spirit, as all wheels of crap should be.

Nah, I actually didn't want to clutter the image with all those random colors so I tried to simulate the way the bars on the wheel look in the background.

Oooh...I see it now. :3 Heh. That's pretty well done.

Y'know, the pants crotch looks a little funky. Kind of like it's riding up a little too far. And his elbows look a tad wonky. 'Specially his left arm.

But I'm still quite impressed. Though my image of Zeta will always be a gamer holding a controller and shouting "HOOKERS!" at the top of his lungs as he loses his last life. :3

Baggy jeans be baggy. Playa's gotta play, hata's gotta hate. And so forth.

Actually that's kinda how I viewed him as well: real snarky with a touch of Homer Simpson-equse spontaneous violence, but when I asked for reference pictures of his fursona they were all calm and contemplative; it threw me off a little. Luckily he told me to just have fun with the picture and draw it however I felt inspired to, so I did. He really enjoyed the picture and I'm glad you do as well~

I guess he can be pretty G sometimes. Maybe his fursona is just more relaxed than the regular Zeta?

Or maybe he'd prefer to be more relaxed, but video games keep making him rage. D:
