IF "Fat"

The next Illustration Friday theme will likely be "Ugly" and then "Yo Mama". For now it's "Fat". I was stumped for a bit. I mean, "Fat". How many directions can you take that and still be amusing yet potentially disgusting? For me there was really only one way.

Accuracy be damned. Also, both sets of eyes are exactly the same – I just copied the layer and rotated it – yet the top eyes seem so much smaller. Funny how that works.

AND, as long as I'm posting stuff of an arty and weekly nature, here's my entry for the Photoshop Challenge that Trisha runs:



I spent very little time on this one, so that's why it's not that awesome. Still, I look forward to the next challenge.
