Description I don't know what was so fun about this. It looks exactly like everything else I draw.

I don't consider this a particularly amazing piece of work. It's just a quick sketch of a guy I named !xobile. In the bushman's language it would be pronounced "(CLICK)-bil-eh".

I think I had so much fun with this because I layered a messed up picture to the original sketch. In the special version, I messed around with the hue and saturation, until it looked like rasta colours, and then gave it a gaussian blur, then layered it in with the original at about 50%. I was so pleased that the result looked so realistically coloured, considering the colours were morphed from nothing. It's like the computer just knew, with some direction.

I used to have dreads like that when I was eighteen.

!xobile is mine.

Stupid title restrictions.

edit: that is a really wimpily-drawn arm. Apologies to forearm lovers.

sexy. I wish he was real he looks like quite the character, and the dreds looks as if they have a life of their own.

Oh how awful of me, I totally forgot that these dreads were inspired by Bob Marley's beautiful mane. In fact most of this guy was inspired by Bob Marley, I have a 7+ year old cartoonier sketch of Bob Marley that would fit this character completely, goatee and all.

Indeed, he's sort of a spawn of many different characteristics I've seen in real people, all rolled into one. Actually, a guy at school has blonde dreads exactly like this. Some of the nicest I've ever seen.

Was the name inspired by a Russell Peters sketch, perchance?

Loving that hair.

"He has a click, in his NAME!" Yes indeed, I was youtubing Russell Peters last night and sorts just wrote the name subconsciously, then drew the picture afterward.

Gee you're clever!

Thanks. Me too. ^_^
