HEADLOCK







The theme of this month for the contest is: Celebrity who passed away.






I decided to draw Steve Irwin, the crazy guy who loved having fun wresteling with aligators or constrictor snakes that could have taken his life many times but never did.






Unfortunately for Steve, Manta has no sense of humour and one of them decided to put an end to his life by stabbing him straight to the heart...cruel for the animal lover steve was...but i guess he took it fare as he lived by the rules of the "wild" and knew the price to pay if you mess with it.






though he must have laughed a lot thinking about the irony of his death, as he was used to jeopardize his life with much more dangerous species but didn't see this one coming.






R.I.P steve.

  2. thanks for the compliments Derek.
    I wasn't sure who would be the best challenger to wrestle with steve but i picked death over the usual giant crocodile to add a bit more of humor to the situation i just hope japanese people knew the guy cuz my wife wasn't sure that this guy was famous in japan.
    anyway i gave it a shot cuz i really wanted to draw him.
    good luck on your new challenge trying miki's style i dig her work and even tried few attempts but yet unsuccessfull cuz too abstract i was lacking references to make my drawing accurate with just few lines cuz it has to be the perfect line and i always had difficulty to pick which was the one...anyway gambate
    be good
