Description "The neighbors are a showy lot, what with their burning house and their hoarse screams for help. Show some decorum, people."(JV)

This is for a contest held by the infamous Jhonen Vasquez. The task was to take a line from his twitter account and illustrate it. This particular quote made me giggle and has been festering in my mind from even before the contest.

I expect to do to the competition what Belinda here has done to her neighbors.

Oh yeah, Goodbye Blue Monday is a reference to Vonnegut's Breakfast of Champions. In the book it's a sales slogan that was at one time painted on a WW2 missile. How delightfully satirical and appropriate.

Wowza, I knew it would look good colored, but this certainly exceeds what I expected. :0
I have to say, the blue lips caught my attention first. Love 'em.
Of course I also like the shoes. I still wants me a pair of them shewz. I like the contrast of the blue items against the warm background/other colors. Pretty rad, if I may say so.
I also like the clouds of smoke a lot and how they were colored, especially with the reflection of the flames and whatnot on them. I thought that was pretty awesome too.
The way you color skin is great, as well as how the gun was colored. :0 So yeah, good luck with your contest once again.

I'm not really a fan of Vasquez though. ;x Rawr.

Well thank you. If only the job industry would have as much enthusiasm for my work as you do.



and....not....not a fan of Vasquez? You fool. Why, when I was your age I lived for Johnny the Homicidal Maniac. I drew and entire page of fan art once just to get it out of my system (I don't do fan art a lot, but when I really like something I have to draw it to get it out of my head, then I'll never draw it again. Weird, i know).
Blood, gore, aliens, piggies.... general hilarity.... what's not to like?

Ech, I just really don't like his artwork style. It bothers me. A lot of people like JTHM and I've had like 2 people try to get me into it, but nope. I'm not interested at all. Guess I'm just very odd that way. *shrug* Either that or just stubborn, hah.
