Description I feel this is quite dull since it's not in color. Maybe I'll ink it someday...

Roger actually just started out as a sketch I made for my sophomore year art class. I have it on my old account somewhere; the final product is even better, actually. I was going to make this meme fanart, but I wanted to experiment with making my own characters. I've always had them in mind, but never produced them on paper all that much. I felt this meme gave me that opportunity somewhat.

Also, for the surreal...I have no idea what I was thinking. O_o The stripes, the cane, the pale skin = milk...I don't know. I guess that was the point of that box.

The other style I used in the bottom right corner was maint to be a mock-up of John Byrne's style from old comics he used to draw when he was active. I don't think I was successful in copying it though.

The one in the upper left corner looks like Carl Fredrickson!

(BTW, the more I looked at Up, the more I realized Carl looked like Robert Ebert).

Great job!

He really does look like Carl, especially with the big round nose. I usually draw Roger's hair to be curlier, but if he was a little shorter and had brown hair, he'd undoubtedly look like Carl.

I got a laugh out the "surreal" one. But anyway, I really like the variety of expressions you did for this. The face is certainly a big strength of this as well.

Thanks. "Surreal" was actually my favorite. I think because it took me longer to think of something more harebrained than usual.

I was pretty surprised with how the expressions came out. I hope to experiment with the face a lot more with this character.
