IDYS: max guy!

I DRAW YOUR SHIT: stealing ryan's thunder!!! not simply stealing for stealing's sake, but i was totally stoked on this little game and wanted to give it a kick in the ass, cuz i think ryan's been too busy to do so himself. i just hope ryan wasn't sitting on a draft or anything. regardless, i'm a bullheaded asshole and i hope i'm not being too bold!

anyway hellen's characters happened last time, so she chose lamar's character MAX GUY from his comic REMAKE which is published by adhouse books. everytime i see lamar we hug, even though we've only hung out three times. i think that's nice.

so whatever, after this lamar gets to pick the next character we draw! and so on and so forth, into infinity. attached some pictures... check out his website or find his flickr to get more! post ur drawings in the comments!

         

FROM RYAN: Awesome!!  For folks scratching their head, the original idea of these posts is spelled out in this post. the deadline to post your cover of MAX GUY is next Friday, 12/4/09. Post a link to your drawing in the comments & we'll add it to the post!\

PS: AdHouse is having a crazy sale, where all their books (including PR3) are available at mega discounts. This includes REMAKE available for a measly $5.95!!!

Heres my quick one :). Didn't want to miss out this round!
The text is from another project I'm working on, and happened to be cut out of the paper I inked. Thought it was kinda cool so left it in. No idea how this will be contextually as I've yet to read Remake?
