I had a case of the "Ye-Gods-I'm-stupid" yesterday. I realised that - get this - when drawing someone else's character in your own style, you don't have to reference every single button he had in the original. Especially when drawing a character that was originally a blue blob of a few pixels and a stupid red nose, the possibilities of what he really looks like are endless. (Alright, I knew this, but I kinda re-realised it.)

This happened while I was looking at someone's drawing of the ghost pirate LeChuck and of course, I just had to redraw LeChuck and embrace that red nose I've always hated as my starting point!

However, I've already drawn the ghost version before (TWICE) fragile-yet-cunning.deviantart… (...and both times I left out the nose ), so I decided to go with my favourite version of LeChuck - the dreaded zombie pirate. (Who incidentally shouldn't have a nose.)
