I’m a model!
I’ve had to use myself (and my partner) as reference a few times in Fenton Hud but not a full body shot as I did for page 6 of issue #3 and man, it took a good few goes to get the angle right!
The toughest thing was getting the angle of my foot right where it would lay flat. It just wasn’t possible in the limited space we had to take the photo so I ended up taking a separate photo of my shoe and then drew around that for the final picture.
As for the name R.E.A.L.L.Y?, it started with the acronym and then working crazy hard to find words that would fit. And sure, ‘Yammering’ was a bit of a stretch but it got the job done!
And an organisation that just agrees with you without giving any opposing advice? I mean, I find it hard to believe that such a place doesn’t already exist! I guess it’s the next evolutionary step for ‘yes men’.
Hmm, maybe I should trademark the concept or something..?
Anyways, more soon! Bear hugs!
P.S. The guy in the background was a composite of a bunch of pictures that I then drew over and made a few additional edits to. I assure you, I don’t own a futon (although it would be kinda cool if I did!)
