lol, yeah, that's it. XD That and where it's been raining so much this week, it's been very humid, and humid+cold really starts getting under your skin quick. 0__0

Ah I see. Kind of like in Phoenix where it'd be 120 degrees outside and you'd be shivering inside. Overcompensation.

Where are you that it is that cold already? I am still parking under trees to try to keep my car from being an oven!

They keep it really cold at the Royal Pacific. Lately I've been working there (caricatures, stay with me now) more than the other resorts, and I'm right across from the gift shop. My 'uniform' is technically black-on-black, business casual- but nobody's going to give me a hard time for wearing something of a different color, as long as it has the logo of whichever hotel I'm working. And last night I found out that I get a sweet 35% discount at the gift shop. Which very conveniently made a $43 hoodie less than $30. Thus. BTW. Apparently sometime in the last three weeks I learned to draw people. 0_o

More wrinkles on McCain I'd say - crows feet at the eyes, more cheeks (he has thick cheeks). Maybe some forehead wrinkles? Might help him look older. If you could capture that right brow-lift thing he does that'd be identifying: http://www.uncorrelated.com/images/John%20McCain.jpg http://a.abcnews.com/images/Politics/ap_john_mccain_070425_ms.jpg http://www.donkeydish.com/images/gallery/john-mccain-is-insane.jpg This person seemed to also notice the great big cheeks and right brow lift: http://adamsmith.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/john-mccain710734.jpg You could work that in easy with the elephant combo. http://members.tripod.com/~mickimouse/elephant.gif As for Obama, I think maybe his eyebrows are a bit rounder, and his lower face more symmetrical. Most of the images of him smiling only his top teeth are showing (as opposed to the slightly open smile), but that's just a suggestion for the sake of recognition. http://www.openentrance.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/barack-obama-and-oprah-winfrey.jpg http://images.publicradio.org/content/2008/06/03/20080603_obama1_33.jpg The squinty eyes are definitely spot-on though - I definitely recognized him in the previous post. Big grin, high cheeks and squinting eyes (which occur even in pics where he's not smiling)

Another/update. Very concerned I'm losing likenesses. Suggestions/Critique appreciated!

I already put these in my LJ, and I'll probably put the final in my new 'caricatures' gallery when it's done, but I thought these sketches of Obama and McCain (For a freelance client...ish thing... T-Shirts!) would interest those of you who watch the sketch book threads. Obama was actually a lot harder to caricature than McCain, but I also think I'm happier with it. I have to put an elephant trunk on McCain. It makes me sad because I think his nose is my favorite part. E:<

Those badges are awesome. Thornwolf's icon is great. Catches my eye every time I see it.

Oh man I totally missed those buttons since I was out of town when you posted them! I LOVE that toad! Hee hee! And the dodo. And that open-mouthed tiger and the cheetah I agree is awesome on page 1 and the penguin is cute - but oh man those cephalopods are AWESOME!!!! MORE PLZ!

Acidiica again. After looking at the other one a few times, I decided I could still do better. =3 The eyes are a bit off, but then, uber cartoony eyes are definitely not my forte, and the character's owner specifically requested them. =/

Niko (thornwolf) commissioned a mac/graphic design icon... This is the version I'm not quite so happy with. I don't mind it at this size, but it didn't shrink to icon size well. =/ The version without the text will be going in my normal gallery. http://nevar.artspots.com/image/20999/niko-icon

Trying to win an unofficial contest on pokeplushies. Will probably try this one again, this sketch is pretty lame. XD

And the non-buttoned drawings for all of them. XD

Last but not least, Reginald the Dodo, based on the dodo plush I got at AC. Another favorite.

Black cat. Another one of my favorites from this set of one-offs.
