Description Ever noticed how people with headphones on can be completely oblivious to what's going on around them?


I got sick of needing references for every drawing I was working on, making scribbling at uni somewhat difficult. So I drew something that would require no references at all...
...I don't think any of those Japanese characters are correct

Pencil, paper and pens, cleaned up around the frame with photoshop (mostly to remove the marks where I dropped a corned beef and pickle sandwich on it... ah such are the dangers of lunchtime drawing).


Crits, comments and chocolate as always appreciated.

Haha, pretty much... I think this was definately a case where I was going for a general feel rather than pinpoint accuracy

Cheers mate.

Mister Smeal (Dojang) was absolutely right. Your skills for backgrounds and, quite simply, artistic feats of genius proportions are numerous and admirable.
You've a fantastic gallery and I would encourage you to keep at it. It will take you far.

Best wishes, my friend.

You're rather humble for creating such masterpieces.
I wish you only the best, friend!
Thank you.

No, thank you
Well I've got no reason not to be humble... everytime I finish a piece there's always something I'm not 100% happy with, and I guess that the day I am completely happy with a piece will be the day I kick my clogs

"Kick my clogs?"
Hee hee.
I suppose that's a reasonable way to look at it.

Team mate of mine at work had headphones and din't realize that the bus she was on was being robbed until it was her turn to give up her stuff... so yeah, pretty oblivious

Awesome work as always... that robot on the right reminds me of the one in Dexter Laboratory

That "Hell Yeah!" guy looks scarily like Midget... am I right?

Anyways. Good layout and cool action in the background, I like how you draw focus to what you want us to be focusing it (in this case, Ms. Oblivious). Nice work!

HOLY crap-in-my-pants, that's amazing! See, what I can't draw are backgrounds. I really need to work on that. HAH, I love the entire layout in this. And the headphones comment is totally true. Hell, my brother is like that just when he's playing an online game WITHOUT the headphones! It's so annoying!

I dunno mate, you seem to do pretty damn well to me.

I find that a bit of 2x4 is pretty good for getting peoples' attention

I tend to keep one ear free except when i'm at home- i am a total music nutter- and proud of it... except if i was that girl(wearing jeans instead- jeans rule!!!) then I'd probably stick on some seriously heavy rock on and leg it.

Damn it!! I wanted to call the 'F yeah!' guy!!!!

Heh, I know what you mean... I may as well have the MP3 player permanently wired into my brain. Luckily my cans are open so I can leave them on and still hear people

You know... I've never actually owned a set of jeans? Weird... really should do something about that.

Man that little f'yeah bloke's getting popular

wraith11 In reply to Akkiran [2007-08-31 13:57:10 +0000 UTC]

Heh, I prefer these semi-casual cotton slack things. Loose enough to be cargos but well enough cut to make it in most company. Got 'em from Mountain Designs, so they're pretty well suited to our climate over here. That's the major thing I find wrong with jeans over here: denim's a bit warm in summer.

Heh, that movie was awesome.

I know, I know... what can I say, I'm a weird kinda person No, seriously: I have refused to wear shorts since, well, primary school... and denim isn't really all that suited to our summers over here, so I tend to find cotton slacks are a better option for general wear.
