Rogues Gallery

I did this little watercolor as a concept sketch for some new handmade plush I am working on. Most of the characters and stories I do are pretty nice but these guys are a bit grittier. I am sure I will refine this group but I am really enjoying the mean little egg with the eye patch, I think his name is going to be Jake.

Hey, Jake the mean egg is cool! He's a bad egg, if you will...

Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho.

The old surly lemon always kind of scared me, so if he's the good one and this is his evil twin, I don't know if I can handle it.

Just kidding.

The bad egg is cute -- what happened to his eye? Speaking of damage to eggs, I've been reading a biography of Winston Churchill, and when he was Lord Admiral at the time of WWI, he said that you musn't think of a fight between battleships as two men in armor fighting with swords, but as two eggshells fighting with hammers. YIKES!

But I'm sure Joe could take Jake in a fight, because good always defeats evil.
