3 illustrations on the theme of 'Worst 1st Dates'......

[Beastie]

These were all done for a student publication .........

haha, excellent!
You really show no pity for your characters, and that is what makes your illustrations have a really unique flavor: yours.

So are they bad dates for the girl or the guys? from were I sit it could go both ways.

[Jaguar Wong]

LOL, the billiards one is awesome. Is that a bolt sticking out of that dude's neck?

[Dri]

You do trashy so well Dean. I will remember not to journey
your part of Ingerlund. ;-)

Sorry if that's not your intended aim but you do seem to enjoy
mocking your own culture. Or should I say parody. Love it nevertheless.

[Beastie]

Jel: Thanks!

ArmstrongArts: In these 3 pics - they're bad dates for the girls. That said, the girls in the last pic are so 'vile' that it couldn't be too enjoyable for the guys either....

Jaguar Wong: No, thats not a bolt. Its the neck of the bottle being held by the guy in the background. It just happened to appear there -- in a bolt-like fashion

Dri: I DEFINITELY intend to mock. 95% of the population is horrific - and I like to show that

The guy's face in the second picture is really funny. Your style amazes me.

All three are great, Dean!

To offer one minor crit on the second illustration: Even though the guy's feet cross each and the girl's feet are somewhat apart, from a design standpoint, it might be a little better if both the guy and girl's feet didn't mirror each other so much. Both seem to have feet pointing in exactly the same directions, which is a little odd. It's a minor thing to point out for sure, but it's something worth consider and think about for the future perhaps.

Also regarding the third illo: If the television is casting enough light to give the beer bottles on the floor such long shadows, you might want to consider having the couch cast a bit more shadow on the floor towards the right of the couch, etc. I do understand that objects closer to the television would have the longest shadows, but a little more shadow stretching outward to the right of the drawing might add a little extra credibility and consistency. Another minor crit. It's really difficult to offer you anything in the way of a major criticism, Dean. Heh.

I'm really liking the flesh tones a lot. Looks like you've really figured out the right balance of blush, etc.

Really cool stuff, man!

[ENTITY]

All the work I've seen from you is endlessly entertaining, these are no exception! Consider me exceptionally jealous.

[Wild&Uncouth]

You've got some great illustration skills.
