Crumbs
August 2007
Wacom Intuos 9x12

This piece was commissioned by Replay with his UMMDC reward money. Going by when I started (according to the Snipe Board's Shout Box) it looks like it took me about three hours to finish, which means I got paid... twenty divided by three... ah well, I think I still managed to beat minimum wage.

Crumbs here is a gangster, so instead of his usual tommy gun, I thought I'd try to give him some modern gangster accoutrements - namely, bitches and money. I was going for the traditional Jersey gangster, always hanging out by the pool, although eschewing gold chains for gumdrops and icing in this instance. I also tried to make him look crumb-y, but not diseased.

There are lots of little details that didn't quite get shown all the way, two of which are his cigar brand - Phat Stogie - and the money's dollar amount, which is covered by the paper band and unfocused. However, it was to read "Hell Of Ducats" as its amount.
