Description Yay for misleading titles!

Got a bit carried away with this one ad it sorta took a life of its own.
Little shout out to my dawg,
for this unexpected gem...


y'all spoil riki too much XDDDDD

not that i'm complaining

for whatever reason EVERY time o try drawing Jamie, something goes horribly wrong. I'm not sure exactly what it is here, but there's something off about his hair. not long enough in the back or something, but i'm tryin'.

Made the gym to look a bit like my MMA gym back home. Obviously Jay's blocking the scroll on the wall and even if he weren't, i wouldn't expect ya to know what it says...
"오른쪽 경로는 내 경로입니다"
basically, "The right path is my path"

that's what it says on the threshold of the dojo Ryu and Ken trained in as kids and since Jamie probably trained at the same place, yeah. but this here's a dojang, not a dojo. so not Hirigana would be around. XD gotta use the Hangul.

Yeah, Marc Anthony's probably in the office doing something, so i guess that makes James the assistant instructor at the moment. I miss drawing Furrball as a fighter. one day i'll do something more elaborate for that.

Guess what they're saying? i didn't have the heart to put the speech bubbles in because i spent way too much time on the background.

Jamie @
Furrball @ WB
Sparkz @ me
Sparkz' design @

i don't have the ability to type in Korean on my drawing computer so i had to use a translator to get the text and i totally botched the concept of 'right' as in the direction right instead of 'correct'. 난 바보 ㅠㅠ 미안해... OTL

i was thinking more of the song from Rocky 4.

i suppose Eye of the Tiger is more appropriate, in retrospect. I can't tell you how many times i've seen the first 4 rocky movies

d'aww you're gonna give me a big head with all those kind words

thanks so much O'Hara!!!

I hope you got to take a night off and enjoy yourself a bit. How cold is it getting there at night? We were down in the low 30's Saturday morning! Of course that was the morning we choose to hike. It was freezing, but went well. It warmed up a bit, but now lots of rain and more cool temperatures coming. Boo.

low 30's? no... no no no. it's liek in teh 50's or something here. XDDD been away from Korea too long it seems because it almost feels cold. i do not miss northern winters. stay warm!

Yay I'm glad you finally had a night off my friend. You deserve it!

Ugh right? We dropped into the 20's one night too. I think this week is back into the 40's at night. The sun is out today, but it is windy and cold. I am not liking it. I wish I could pack everything up and more someplace warm for the winter. If only it were that simple. Boo. You stay warm over there too my friend!

it went back up to like 80 so i have no idea whats going on with the weather here. i hope the weather is more consistent in Florida. this seems more like Ohio weather. ever been to Ohio? you can have four seasons in one day. ridiculous. XDDDD

i guess it's consistent over there too so at least your body gets acclimated to the climate. although i'd rather NOT be used to 20 degrees if it's all the same. XD

Back up to 80? I'm jealous. It warmed up slightly Sunday and into Monday, but we got wind and rain yesterday and the cold front came through. Ugh. I actually have been to Ohio. One of my best friends lives out there But I never stayed out there for more then a week.

My body never gets use to the cold temps. I just freeze all winter. It is sad XD I already am wearing my winter pj's and all. Must stay warm!

corrections. back in the 80's in my room. 60s or so in the town i can't really tell since i rarely see the day. XDDDD

and it's going to get a lot worse starting this week. i can't wait though because i'm overdue to making some MAD CASH soon enough. enough with this nickle and dime tutoring thing. although i love tutoring part time as well, but that's besides the point. i have about two weeks left to get the 15 sessions left of my 50 session quota to get on 'regular' status where i can start making bonuses and more money.... wish me luck! i have no idea what that had to do with the weather. i type too much when i have caffeine

your body hasn't ever gotten used to cold temperatures? oh no.

i would have thought that the weather in PA was consistently cold when it was supposed to be thus you'd acclimate? i guess that only works in certain cases.

can't WAIT to go to the closest i'll ever get to the tropics and just stay there. i won't have to "move" to Fl when i retire since i'll already be there, too!

oh I gotcha now. I like it nice and warm. My favorite. My body I guess somewhat tries to adjust to the cold weather, but seriously. I'm always cold. I still wrap up in a blanket in the summer time so imagine how bad winter is for me. haha.

It sounds like you are getting close to meeting your quota for the tutoring. It sounds like you will be bringing in more money soon which is always good. You will need that caffeine to keep you going

So you are moving more South to Florida? When is the plan for that to happen. I'll come visit all winter XD haha

Always love it when you do detailed backgrounds like this, my friend! You just get better and better every time you draw them.

Sparkz learning how to sword fight with one arm is similarly awesome, never mind learning from Jamie. As is Furrball on the punching bag in the bg. All in all, awesome!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

8OV In reply to GuiMontag [2012-10-11 20:59:56 +0000 UTC]

hhahhhhahahahat first i was like, "Furrba...wha-?" and then i remembered i changed the sketch at the last minute. originally it was of Sylvester punching and i changed it, trying to imagine what Tres would look like, thus the closed eye and kinda failed to come up with anything unique and just ended up changing it all the way to Furrball in the end. besides, i doubt Milo would be caught dead in a gym run by dogs, anyway.

i really like this background for the most part (for once) it reminds me of my gym, sans hideous green mat.

Jamie was teaching Sparkz "The Sword's Prayer" (see "Full Metal Jacket", 'this is my rifle...')



That bag in the back, by the way... that's exactly the sorta bag i intend to buy in Florida. i think it turned out okay too.

thanks bro. this picture was brought to you by kindness from buddies like you who never gave up on a bum like me (Rocky reference)

GuiMontag In reply to 8OV [2012-10-12 03:47:04 +0000 UTC]

That reminds me, you should definitely draw Milo/Tres one of these days...you've already drawn Chafe after all, no need to stop now!

You're no bum, bro! But regardless, I'm just as grateful that I didn't give up on you as I am that you didn't...these past two years have been a true blessing, with more many to come.

8OV In reply to GuiMontag [2012-10-12 13:46:48 +0000 UTC]

will definitely draw some Tres, along with Chafe and Sparkz soon as i can figure out what Tres looks like... will have to read his dialogue again... i don't think he really fits the Che Guevara vibe i initially got from him.

yeah... i've already made it my mission to ensure it will have been worth your time, knowing me.

GuiMontag In reply to 8OV [2012-10-13 00:20:00 +0000 UTC]

All I know is he's supposed to be teal...that's right, I remembered that detail as well! You've already got Chafe's look down perfectly that I know you'll do just as good a job with Tres.^^

It has been worth every second of my time ever since it began two years ago, believe it bro.

8OV In reply to GuiMontag [2012-10-13 00:34:41 +0000 UTC]

hahahahah wow. you DO remember. i HAVE technically sketched Tres in photoshop before, but that was a year or so ago and completely generic to the point that i want to forget it ever happened.

although i do believe Eggy's got Chafe down substantially better than i...

i just need to draw him more, i guess.

That more realistic version of Chafe (and Sparkz!) looks great, but you captured the Tiny Toons look perfectly for him.

Still can't wait to see your first public pic of Tres when you get around to it.^^

You make me all and more with your messages, so it's the least I can do to return the favor, my awesome friend.

8OV In reply to GuiMontag [2012-10-14 03:30:09 +0000 UTC]

Ugh. i made Tres fat. i have no idea why that happened. i just drew the 3 of them as teenagers... kinda Gui (normal proportions) style. i dunno if it's conducive to my style, but i guess we'll see how it translates to photoshop.

no matter how hard i try to be as cool as gui, it never seems to work.

Given that I know you're a lot harder on yourself than anyone else is, I'm sure it'll end up looking fine. Can't wait to see it!

CHaRBini In reply to 8OV [2012-10-11 21:27:18 +0000 UTC]

Whaaaat, nooooooo, it's nooooooot. Or not at least in my opinion.

It's funny how I suddenly started calling you with your name. It's like... At first I didn't do that, but now I do it often. But it can't be too odd, right? You know, I should think of a good nickname for you, but I'm very bad when it comes to nicknames. I'll just keep on using 'Riki', until I possibly think of some name. It would be odd if you called me Ansku, since you usually call me CHaRB. Or no, it wouldn't be too odd, since just about everyone calls me that. But to be honest, I like 'CHaRB' more than 'Ansku'.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

8OV In reply to CHaRBini [2012-10-11 22:32:35 +0000 UTC]

for me, it's actually relatively rare that i'll use a name, and when i say that, i mean by WHOM i'm speaking to. Like, with Gui, at first we never called each other ANYTHING for at least a year, which is odd, but that was because we didn't know what to call one another. i, for one wouldn't want to be called "Insomniazzz" on a regular basis and i'm pretty sure he wouldn't wanna be called "GuiMontag" every time he was referred to. eventually it got weird and i just started calling him Gui and he started calling my riki.

and then there's O'Hara which i have no choice but to call O'Hara for something of an inside joke. XD

and then Eggy, because for whatever reason i had to call her something and that was one of her nicknames that just worked for me... as for you, i didn't call you anything at first either. i mean, same issue i had with Gui... do i call you "Crippled" or "Hand"? eventually i just settled on CHaRB because of obvious reasons, and it sounds sorta like "cherub" and you are kinda the angel of art so yeah. XDDDD

but yeah, pretty much everyone else i talk to i don't use any names whatsoever unless their usernames are actual names, if that makes sense. XD

and yeah, it's best if you call me riki since that actually IS my nickname. XDDDDD and i'd rather not be turned into a rare citrus fruit. if you started calling me "Dragonfruit" for whatever reason i'd be confused.

dragonfruit is a real fruit, too. maybe it's also the name of lil' Jack's long lost bro.

hahahaha and besides we settled on CHaRB (and you and i are the only ones that get the "CHaRB" right instead of that "Charb") before i knew your middle name after all and since i can't pronounce "Ansku" i hafta call ya CHaRB

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

CHaRBini In reply to 8OV [2012-10-12 08:47:47 +0000 UTC]

Hehehe, and now I prefer 'CHaRB'... Before this nickname, I never really had any nickname. Or yes, a few, but they were the kind that I wouldn't use as my username anywhere, but CHaRB(ini) is a good name so I like using it. And whaaaaat, 'angel of art'? D'aawwwwkggldsjhsdjhhkfjhgh oh please, you're making me blush because that's a sweet thing to say and and and akdlg

'Riki' is a good nickname, too. It's easy to remember and easy to pronounce. Of course, I pronounce it like a Finn, which is like... Uhh, it's hard to explain... But it sounds boring-ish when I pronounce it, but it's mostly because I say everything in a bored tone.
... Lil' Jack's long lost brother? That sounds fun, but imagine what it would be like... What if that long lost bro would be like Jack? That would kinda be like two Jacks and that means... Mischief and trouble. A lot of it.

And it's okay when you call me CHaRB, because it's an awesome nickname!

at least you don't squeak when you talk.

i thought by now that'd have gone, but no, i still squeak sometimes and my voice often cracks. it's probably because i rarely talk when i'm not getting paid to do so. XDDDDD

heheheheheh XD cherub, CHaRB... XD you're just super kind in a cold world, so it wasn't hard to make that comparison. maybe you're not in person, as you keep claiming, but i just think that can't be the case and it's more of a reflection of your environment. like the place i live in right now makes me anxious, angry and violent. thus, it's clear that this is NOT the place i was meant to be in. XDDD when i leave, i believe the place i will be going to will make it much easier for me to be... nice and stuff.

dunno if that even makes any sense.

hahahah Dragonfruit would be the total opposite of Jackfruit ORRRRRRRRRRRRR he could be 1000 times worse than her, making lil' Jack seem like a saint.

CHaRBini In reply to 8OV [2012-10-12 14:37:36 +0000 UTC]

Maybe, but I still sound so bored and tired and I can't pronounce words right and aagggghhh

It's funny that I kinda know that I can be a nice person and most likely I try my best to be nice, and yet I always manage to think that I'm a meanie...

And yes, that makes sense. It kinda reminds me of how I want to move away from hereeeee. Away from Finland, it's such a nice thought. ... Is it a good thing if I don't want to live here?

Both of those ideas sound so great! But making Jack seem like a saint? That doesn't sound too promising! But if Jack would have a long lost brother, Dragonfruit... What would he look like? Why would he be a long lost brother? Why am I asking questions?
