That made me smile Levi! Agree with RetroMe, Union Jack on the pants would really finish it off, maybe a crisp packet or something in the foreground too?
Anyway, top work

London 20st 12, by LEVI C on Feb 5, 2009 14:21:59 GMT 1, Thanks guys appreciate it. Defo need to sort the pants out. A mate mentioned last night he looks like a Sumo wrestler, he's right! the ironic thing is when looking for an image to work from all I could find were Sumo's and this one wasn't! I had to draw the bottom half of him so might have got the pants a bit big. I think i'll change the hair, make the pants smaller and possibly even take out the spike behind his head, which almost looks like a sumo bun. In real life its not so bad because the spike is blue.
Anyway cheers, i'll post up the finished one asap

London 20st 12, by LEVI C on Feb 22, 2009 22:17:12 GMT 1, deffo union jack would finish it off. tres amusant! btw, if you used an alternative to the cream/brown colours in the skin tones you might be able to make him look more pasty and 'caucasian' and less like a traditional sumo. think the black pants also look like sumo belt but union jack will change that.
The blokes in black, grey and white its the no flash on the camera that makes it look that colour, i'll get a better photo when ive finished, but thanks for your input. I'll finally get working on this piece this week. Good thinking deepdownboy, i had thought of sponsors (honestly - i always admit if not) but was going to go with Macdonalds, Pizza hut. Your comment has made me think Ginsters would be a nice addition. I know macdonalds is a bit cliche, but its only a small part of this idea so don't think i'm bothered.
looking forward to finishing this piece, thanks all!

London 20st 12, by LEVI C on Mar 6, 2009 18:20:50 GMT 1, Cheers for the comments. I didn't want to post again until I had finished but i'm going to drinking tonight in the studio (so mrs using the laptop at home).
Still just a test spray so needs tidying (esp on the logos) and some detail on the feet to go, but you can see where it is going.
I'm quite glad with it because i've used macdonalds (major cliche) to put across a message i've not seen done before. Also not really seen any 'olympic' spins done either.
Appreciate comments

London 20st 12, by LEVI C on Mar 8, 2009 9:48:16 GMT 1, cheers guys. I know what you mean, I may not include the logo's on a neater version now when i have finished the bloke (or at least do them last if i think it needs them). I do think the 'sponsorship' adds another dimension to the idea.
Steve - yes, i was going to go with the US flag. I think it was the choice of 'ginsters' that swayed it. Given that the UK is a runner up regardng obesity probs, i thought it might be less confusing as the sponsors need to be the brands that made him that fat and obvsiously ginsters are only in the UK. either way, very easy changes so i'll scratch me head a bit on this one!
thanks for the input!
