IDYS: Ting & Terng!!

This is the first installation of a new weekly (?) series of posts... I DRAW YOUR SHIT. The original idea is in this post, but the premise is simple.

Each week we pick a character from a member of the EAZ crew's work (comic, paintings, video games, etc) and then everyone else who wants in draws their own take on the character. Post a link to your drawing in the comments, I'll collect them in a gallery at the end!

ROUND 1: Draw the conjoined twins Ting & Terng from Hellen Jo's Jin & Jam #1
see these pics for reference:

     

[If you have a better scan of Ting & Terng please post it]

OKAY CREW, DO YOUR DRAWING BY NEXT WEDNESDAY, 11/11

BRING ON THE DRAAAWINGS!!!!!!!

It's a huge honor that their names are "based" on my sister and me, sorta. So I decided to try to draw T&T like my sister and me.

UPDATE (from Hellen):
Christ, dudes, I'm honored and surprised that so many of you would give enough of a shit to draw Ting & Terng. These all look so good! I wanted to draw one too but I've been struggling to finish a painting that was supposed to be in Germany by Friday. I should just print these out and send them over to the Deutsch.

Hellen, you got any color guides for these two? I'm gonna participate!
Nov 06, 2009
Hellen said...
no color guides, but they're Chinese girls with bleached and/or dyed hair, probably in the AZN orange/red/not quite blonde style. Their conjoined skin is a slightly blushing color.
