Random things: Angry animals

Finally, I drew something from the list.  Here are my angry animals, which were the second suggestion on the list.

Angry Animals

I actually draw the first suggestion about a lazy robot, but I can’t seem to find that file.  I may have accidentally deleted it.  It seems strange that I would have done such a thing, but I can’t find it anywhere on my hard drive.  Therefore, I must have deleted it.  Oh well, I can always draw it again.  And I never intended to draw things from the list in order.

So my angry animals are arguing.  Originally, it was supposed to be a zebra and a lion arguing.  I figured they would have stuff to argue about.  But then I got lazy and I didn’t actually want to draw the stripe pattern on the zebra.  If you don’t get the pattern right, a zebra ends up looking like a horse or donkey that’s trying too hard.  And I didn’t want that.  So I made the zebra a donkey.  Or maybe it’s a horse.  The ears are kind of small for a donkey.  But that tail is definitely not a horse tail.  Well, maybe it’s a zebra who decided to get spray tanned…gray.

I like the lion’s fro.

Random things: Grizzlicorn

The other day, I drew a this:

Grizzlicorn!

Grizzlicorn!

This isn’t from the list of 100 things to draw when you’re bored, in case you’re looking for it.  I ended up drawing a grizzlicorn because one of my coworkers asked for it.

Perhaps you are asking why would he ask for such a thing.  It’s because he saw me doodling during a meeting one time but he couldn’t quite see what I was drawing.  I was drawing a shark (of course).  For some reason, he thought I was drawing a butterfly.  And when it came out that he thought I was drawing a butterfly, he was ridiculed by our other coworkers and me.  He obviously doesn’t know me terribly well.

Later that day, I decided to draw him a shark with butterfly wings instead of fins.  And I did so.  On a post it.  Which is why I didn’t post it (hehehehe) first.  I have a photo of it, but I gave the post it to him so I can’t scan it.  Maybe I’ll draw a shark with butterfly wings some other time and post it (hahahahaha).

Now then, my coworker rather liked the shark with butterfly wings and asked if I could draw a grizzly with a unicorn horn.  He thought it would be ridiculous because grizzlies are fearsome animals and it would be funny to put a unicorn horn on one of them.  Little did he know that I was thinking more of a derpy grizzly as opposed to a fierce grizzly.

As for the name of this thing, my coworker kept calling it a grizzly-unicorn, which I thought was unwieldy.  So I shorted it to grizzlicorn, which he liked.  But later, a friend pointed out to me that a grizzlicorn would be something right out of one of my favorite indie comics, Axe Cop.  And then I realized that a unigrizzly would also fit in pretty well in Bearmaggedon, another one of my favorite indie comics.  OMG!  I NEED TO ASK IF MY COWORKER READS AXE COP AND BEARMAGGEDON!!
