HAHA when you were working on it at our apartment I was just thinking "that is the most random thing for her to draw..." He looks AWESOOOOOME in your style though!
but really! what got your interest in this character? that was really really random. XD
Inspiration can arrive in fleeting moments. When I first saw the trailer, that single shot where he's chuckling and you see a glimpse of his silver teeth in the dim light...I knew I wanted to recreate that mysterious creepiness that he exudes there.
It's partially his appearance (though all the details he has KILLS me), but also the actor who plays him. Mickey Rourke is a bit...rough himself, but it's nice to see that he, like RDJ, is starting to make a comeback in more well-known roles (he was heartbreaking in The Wrestler). He also insisted Whiplash to have a pet cockatoo to argue with while drunk. DEAL = SEALED.
Now he just needs to be as awesome in the movie as he is in my mind! :p
My style is rather crude, so it's suitable for a crude character! I didn't even know he was supposed to be Russian when I started drawing this...and...HE ONLY GETS COOLER AND COOLER! Plus, he supposedly has a pet cockatoo that he argues with drunkenly. WHAT A TOTAL SWEETHEART!
I actually plan on doing more, now that I found pictures of that crazy, detailed Hot Toys figure! I can't wait to draw him playing jump-rope with his electro-whips. DERP
