This is the final draft of the A-Bomb. I've never printed a digital painting for presentation so I don't think the print for class is very good. I think I should have done it on gloss paper and upped the value over all just a bit to compensate for the awesome color that you get on the screen. Cest la vie. Better next time.


Arg!! So, I don't know why the tall skinny watermelon nerd is upside down, but he is for some strange reason. Anyway, my family in law has two exchange students this year and they're both girls. I was talking with one and she told me about how now she LOVES nerds candy, but she didn't know that there were more than just the one flavor that she had already tried. I told her that there were lots of flavors; cherry, apply, watermelon... and when I said watermelon I thought she was going to lose her eyes to the carpet they bugged out so big! Apparently watermelon is her favorite flavor of all time and nerds being her new favorite candy the thought of them together was too awesome to conceive. I loved her reaction so much that I sketched some "watermelon nerds" for her viewing pleasure. She thought they were cute. And I really wish the one wasn't upside down, but that's life I guess.
