Ink-tober Days: Long Waits

So, I looked at the topics I had to choose from, and my bank of rough drafts in varying stages, and thought: "Hmmm, 'long'.... what could I do to demonstrate long?" The obvious answer was commercial breaks.

Okay, so it's a bit of a "stretch".

You know what the ironic thing is though? In case you can't tell from the back of his head as I can, that's Shorty. (If you catch the irony, you are awesome; you get a gold star, a hug, and a cookie.)

Anyway, this time around I decided to add a hint of color (because I don't like shading, as I mentioned here. But, who am I kidding? I've got a month of inking ahead of  me; sooner or later, I'm gonna half to shade.) Don't worry, I promise on my reputation I used colored inks. This image was not added to or taken from digitally in any way. That's my Inktober guarantee.

This particular image means a lot to me, because both the image on the TV screen and the picture on the wall are miniature reproductions of works I did in Elementary school. And that fish bears resemblance to the one my best friend in the world gave me for my birthday; like, a decade ago.

Alrighty. Remember, there's nothing wrong with taking a break once in a while. so long as you keep on keepin' on!
