Description A flying pig in a bee costume - from a sketch done a couple of years ago, (and before I had even heard of 'UP'!) based on a personal joke between my friend and I.

Painted in photoshop and printed out as a birthday card (Happy Birthday my friend!)

EDIT: Finally got around to playing around with the print option here in dA and thought I'd try it on this image to see if its a worthwhile endeavour. The prints are a 1 to 1.5 ratio rather than the 1 to 2 ratio of the picture in the gallery.

Thanks! Pigs nostrils are ALWAYS funny, unless of course said pig has a heavy cold and no tissues handy, then they are just plain gross.

I'm still awestruck by the way you pick up different textures and lighting.

Loopydave In reply to TehBeardedOne [2009-10-25 23:48:14 +0000 UTC]

Thanks for saying that! The way different textures fold or react to light is a constant fascination to me and I'm hopefully striving to improve this in my art! Cheers man.

For all those who thought they'd never see the day... all it took was the right attitude, a great costume, and an absurdly cute balloon!


I like him.

It sounds like a good formula for standing out: attitude + sartorial selection + attention grabbing prop = hey, check me out!!
And Im glad you like him. He likes you too .

Loopydave In reply to 14-bis [2009-10-24 02:41:32 +0000 UTC]

Thanks - and the translucence comes from his natural skin pig-mentation. (sorry, couldnt help myself there!)

I can imagine him in a school theater play with that costume. His mother whining in proud in front of the stage... and I bet his pretty good in math :3

All pigs are good at math, particularly in the field of chaos, though more in terms of causing it than studying it. Its all to do with chasing that damn butterfly.

That running with scissors is a bad idea, purple and green are a surprisingly good colour combination and that even though KFC sounds like a good idea at the time you will always regret it a couple of hours later?
