For a severed head, he looks very chillaxed. You seen the awesome "Garfield without Garfield" strips online? Or "realistic Garfield"? It made me laugh. A LOT. As did this.
Good stuff! WHERE'S YOUR LASAGNE NOW, GARFIELD?

Garfield is a great cat; so much apathy and disdain.

Very Nice! One question: I have trouble with doing lines with acrylic, they turn so bad that I usually use posca pens insted... any tips on how to do good line work with a brush and acrylic?

Thanks Burnay!
It usually takes about 3 or 4 coats of acrylic. It sucks because it takes so long, but it's worth it for the crispness.
I lay it all down in a thin layer first to flesh out the image, and then I just keep going over it and over it with paint until it's thick enough.
Working on canvas or canvas paper sucks, it takes a lot longer, it's more resistant to the paint. Using a nice wateroclour paper speeds up the process, it sinks into the paper slightly.
I'll have to try and write a guide one day.
