Description
Theodore: Isn't it great? It's our first day of middle school!Alvin: Ah yes, I just hated summer break Theodore...
Theodore: Well then, why are you so upset to be back in school then?
Alvin: It was sarcasm!
Theodore: Well, it will be a little more peaceful, the last two summers were crazy.
Simon: Besides, you should be thankful that Dave got us new clothes this year. Not to speak so strongly against out old clothes, but we did need new ones. We were getting too big for the sweaters!
Alvin: [Grumbles profusely to himself.]
____________________________________________________________
What I lack in quanitity I make up in quality.
Holy hell this was a difficult sketch. But a scrapped Simon later and five hours sleep since then, I've created this monstrosity.
I'm sure there's tons of imperfections, but I knew that was going to happen, because the line art was done 99.9% by hand. The only digital line art you see in this picture, is the gold lining on the floor tiles in the lower half of the picture, and the number "218." Everything else was done with pencil, paper, and a ruler.
I could have easily done this digitally, but I wanted to really put some effort into this drawing. Originally, the drawing was for a contest. And even though it was canceled, I did it exactly like I was going to enter it in. It's easier to make a background digitally like I did in "Happy Birthday Fritzie," but I wanted it to be raw.
I'll be honest, I think their teenager clothing should be when they are teenagers, not eleven like in this picture. It's their first day of sixth grade, so they're still kind of small. I found this the perfect time though to unveil their teenager clothing. Cody and Fritzie will come whenever the muse pops up to do it.
Oh, and I'm sure one of you will notice that I signed the picture in full. It's a more official piece, so I signed it accordingly.

Nice job of prediction of what the "Squeakuel" will be when it premieres on Christmas of 2009 featuring The Chipettes. 5/5

Lol, actually this picture has nothing to do with the Squeakuel. :sweat: This was for a contest that was cancelled on me before I could finish. Appreciate the kind feedback though.

Oy, how awkward would that be?
"Class, I'd like you to meet some new students."
the class just stares.
"Uh...They are, um, chipmunks."
Reminds me a little of "Teacher's Pet."

Yeah, I can certainly imagine that. Anyone who didn't go to school with them previously would probably be like, "... what the hell is that thing?"
And actually, now that I think about it, you're right. It kind of does remind me of that.

Thanks, I liked Theodore's outfit the most myself, though it looks better on him when Theodore actually is a teenager. XD
And no, I don't mind the watch at all. That would be biting the hand that feeds!

I'm not as good with the chipettes. I'd certainly like to draw them, but right now, I'm kind of in a haitus. I been having tons of problems with my home life and I'm trying to get them sorted out, although pieces are starting to fall back into place. If improvements keep up, I might lift the haitus soon.

I think this is great, Tal. One thing, though, Alvin's head looks kinda small.

Hehe, well, no point in it now, unless you want to do another chipmunk drawing.
I had to do a bit of editing to Alvin's head. Yes, it's a bit small, but in the original, his head was way way too big, so I fixed it up a little bit by moving some of it around.

Hehe, it was just so hard to get that gesture down! I still think I messed up his right hand, but I'm not about to tear up another four pages trying to get that movement right.
Thanks though.
