Johnny and Ripp artwork

I made a drawing of Johnny and Ripp. It's probably been a whole year since I've really drawn anything at all, so I'm pretty proud of myself. And I've never attempted to colour a drawing in Photoshop before, so that's also a bit of an achievement (even if it's mediocre at best). I usually draw flat, black and white line drawings, but I thought I'd try some colour. So, yeah... here's another cartoon take on these guys, with a little conversation to go along with it.








Johnny: Is it really necessary to take up SO MUCH SPACE?

Ripp: MmmmmHmmmmm... sure is.

Johnny: You need new socks.

Ripp: But the air vents reduce foot odour...

Johnny: You still have foot odour.

Ripp: I said reduce, not prevent.

Johnny: It's GROSS.

Ripp: Ah, you love it.

*snerk*

Like siblings sometimes. "MOM, he's one MY SIDE!!"

Nice artwork, too. The next thing you know, you'll forget the game and it's limitations and just draw it out.

LOL. That's amazing! I think it's actually really good.

Haha, Ripp would SO have holes in his socks. It's cool to see your drawings, since it's how YOU actually see them and such.

What does Ophelia think of this?! :P

That looks really good! Even if I could draw, I wouldn't know how to color it in with photoshop.

These two are like the odd couple. But I love them so!

That's actually really cool. It's so nice to see them from your view point.

AHHH! *Flails*

Oooo I know you were talking about it, but I didn't expect it up so soon! And it's so awesome!

I love Johnny's gangly legs and spindly finger and his HAIR!!! And the eyebrows are awesome and his expression is awesome, because it's Johnny and that is his favorite face. Oh and he's all hunched over and annoyed, but only sort of and !!!!!!

And I adore Ripp's holey socks and his big ol' toe poking out and stinking up the joint. There's also his hand on Johnny's shoulder with his totally relaxed and peaceful expression and you did an awesome job with his hair.

Also, I love the coloring you did! Not sure what brush you used, but it gave it this skritchy look to it. Very textured. You can see it best in the couch and in Ripp's shirt.

But my most favorite part of all is how Ripp's got his other foot all tucked up under Johnny and probably snuggled there to keep it warm and I LOVE THIS!!!

So yeah, great job! I hope you do more and more and more and keep making the story of course, because I love the world you've created here.

<3333!

I'm impressed that Ripp's socks are even matching. XD

I absolutely love this interpretation of them. It represents their personalities so well, and while I know that you have their personalities 100% figured out, it can be hard to translate that into a drawing. You did an amazing job!

This is fantastic, I'd definitely love to see more of your drawings. Ripp looks so gloriously unkempt!

Oh wow you're really good! Great job on this. :) They look awesome. :) Love the convo too. :)

Hee, cute. Those two are such a pair.

That is positively sexy.

I wish I could draw. That's fabulous!

Awesome colouring - the shading is fantastic.
The holes in the socks, the expressions & the body language... you've portrayed them brilliantly =D

That is so awesome! I love their toes!! :D Love how Johnny's talking about holey socks when he has bare feet, lololol.

That's really cool you can draw something like this freehand! What's the medium? It's hard for me to tell but I'm guessing markers? Maybe?

Duh... just noticed you had said Photoshop, lol. I guess I didn't put two and two together on that. :D

Anyway great work!

This made my day! They're so cute and you're a great drawer (erm, I hope the word means what I meant it should mean... lol)!

Oh man, that's great. Love the conversation too. You should draw more! You're very good at it. I like expressive, cartoony stuff. :)

It's amazing! I love how his toe is out, I hate to admit it, but more often than not, my socks end up broken in the toe. (It's embarrassing when you go to the doctor's office, trust me.)
