The original inspiration for this week's theme on
drawergeeks.com was the Dr. Seuss story "The Sneetches".
But as you can see from my entry below, and the
others, people have done some other interpretations of the term "starbelly".
Now to give credit where credit is due: my design owes a ton of inspiration to artist Frank Cho, creator of the
Liberty Meadows comic books. His drawings, and specifically his
covers, of his main character Brandy are awe-inspiring. The pose in my initial sketch for my Starbelly design bore quite a resemblance to his cover for Liberty Meadows: Eden Book 1.
Ok, maybe it isn't a big mystery why, because that is the only copy of his stuff that I have, but it really wasn't an intentional imitation. Once I went to clean up my drawing, I noticed the similarity of pose and intentionally imitated his color and shading style- hey there's no shame in imitating the best is there?
