Holy moley, I finished it! Sooo, it didn't turn out exactly how I'd planned (when does it ever?) but I'm still pretty pleased with it.
I had originally planned NOT to use black outlines, but when I started pencilling in all the little pi-rats, well, they were just too small to work without the outlining. I suppose if this piece was much, much larger, or maybe in a different medium, I could figure it out. But in the end, I decided "screw it", because otherwise I was just fiddling and experimenting and afraid to actually commit anything to paper. I finally decided that it was better to do the best I could, even if it wasn't *exactly perfect*, rather than just never finish it at all. And since I'm about to move again, I wanted to finish this before the move or else I was afraid I wouldn't touch it again for a long, long time.

This was inspired by a Disneyland ride that never happened (alas and woe), featuring a described scene similar to this. This piece is an attempt to mimic the look of retro sci-fi movie posters. I'm reasonably pleased with how close I got, considering it's my first attempt, and despite the black outlines (which give it more of a comic book feel, I think).
Rizzo turned out too dark, but I'm pretty happy with the lighting on the pigs' faces. The scanning is questionable - this piece looks better in person. Plus, I had to scan it in 4 pieces and put it back together in Photoshop.

This is 100% hand done (including the lettering, which was either totally hand-drawn or else traced by hand from a computer print-out) in Copic marker on 14 x 17 inch smooth bristol board.

Final version came out great! Very retro and yet chic. Love their guns and the shine on Miss Piggy's boob. Very fun piece.

Wow! Fantastic! Hey, that's why ships have things called ratlines...

I love the whole retro look, from the pigs' spacesuits to the lettering and layout! Tres pulp!
