Description
Because balloons give you EXTRA AIR !!!My entry for ~jsrf 's august contest (and my last thing for the summer :< ). I wanted to something a bit non-canonical and balloons totally fit the bill. As far as the character, I thought only Rhyth or Yoyo was childish enough to deal with balloons. Seeing as I'm not fond of Yoyo (so sue me XP) Rhyth was the one, haha.
And I've drawn dozens of buildings, but everytime it always seems like a challenge to make them look interesting. I guess I'd like to get to a point where I don't have to look up a bunch of reference pictures of buildings to get them to look good. :/

This picture is great! Ha, it's the pedestrian in the purple outfit! I always loved those pedestrians that wore those orange (and sometimes purple) suit outfits (there was a ton of them everywhere in the residential zone) You get to close to them and they're like 'He touched my butt!' Always cracked me up.

HAR the old man with the balloons is thinking, "Those young whippersnappers oughtta go boil their heads instead of stealin' my MERCHANDISE."
She has got some awesome striped socks. To find socks like that in real life would be pure unabashed joy!

Dude, you made me curious about finding such striped socks. I found knee high socks of that color, but not up to the thigh... But then again, I didn't look too long.
