I was wondering the same thing, good to know, Toon, maybe you may prolong it.

Okay, ummm... yeeeeesh! Quite a few of these didn't turn out all that well. Some of this, however, is not entirely my fault. See, when I was tracing with marker, my marker started losing its ink. Slowly but surely. You can look at Cleese's hair and see the final struggle for life, valiant little marker that it was. So, anyway, since I'm poor, I didn't go out and get a new pen; instead I found one that I use for filling in large areas (like Cher's hair) and tried tracing with that. The result is Cleese's nose and moustache, and Giamatti's hair, among other things. So, that's my excuse for that. I have no excuse for Joe Pesci, however; I just couldn't draw him. Sorry. So, here we go: You're the Star! We have Buffy, Angel, and me as Spike. By the way, watch Buffy. It's off the air, but get the DVDs or something; it's such a great show! Man & Beast we have Paul Giamatti as a penguin. Okay, this didn't turn out great, but here's how it happened. There was an episode of Will & Grace where Jack didn't know how to draw a penguin, so Will said, "Oh, it's easy. Just start by drawing Paul Giamatti, and then... stop." I found that funny, so here we have it. John Cleese Joe Pesci (I'm sorry) And finally, Cher. And yes, she has red eyes, because the flash on the camera decided she should. Hope you enjoyed these. Oh, and Don: thank you for the kudos. Don and Horate: according to the beginning of the challenge, the challenge ends on February 1st. By the way, I'd love this challenge to continue past the first, but maybe just for fun. Some weeks have been tough getting finished on time, so it would be nice to have this weekly challenge, but have it be optional, and maybe more people on this forum would join in *hint, hint* -- Eric

Eric, I think these are great. Love the Buffy scene.
As I stated a few weeks ago, anyone is welcome to join in on these for fun. I thought someone would take me up on the offer, but I guess not. I had also thought about turning these into a boot camp type of thing were you start at week 1 and try to get all the way through them. Doesn't look like there would be much interest though.

Alas, I think you're right. Just expressing my interest, though. Thanks for the comments.

Thank you Horate. Yes, maybe digital coloring would be better, except that I'm really bad at it. Even worse, if you can imagine, than with non-digital.
Oh! And "kudos" just basically means accolades or congratulations.
