Description For those that don't read my journal:

I just came back from a weekend in Denmark. There was a train accident, and the night train was cancelled. After waiting for 2 hours in the snow, we were picked up by a bus, that drove us to the next connected train station, which was Hamburg.

I can't sleep in busses, but it was dark outside, so I couldn't see anything either - so I decided to draw something, which was a challenge. It's almost impossible to draw a straight line when sitting in a moving bus, it was very dark, and so this picture is a very "scrappy" scrap and still needs A LOT of improvement, but I thought the idea was interesting.

I didn't have any specific idea when I started the drawing, I was just freezing, and there was snow everywhere outside, so I thought, why not draw Megamind in a winter outfit...

With a gun? Well yes, first I had no idea what it could be. Then I thought, maybe a "defrost gun" (chuckle) - oh that would be great for cleaning the freezer, right?

Anyway, I had another 10 hours sitting on wet corridors of German trains and 2 hours freezing at Frankfurt train station, decided to get some Schnaps against the cold, and thanks to that I came up with this:

Maybe Megamind created a freeze ray to freeze Metro Man, but of course this went wrong, and he ended up freezing the whole city, including the lair, so he had to do something against that - who likes freezing?

And that's where my story telling creativity ends.

I like the fur cape and the ray gun! I wonder if the ray will be too strong and send the poor Megamind landing in snow!

Will you finish it?

I think I will finish it one day. But I'm really busy with other projects at the moment.

...My mind has pretty much gone blank, except for that little voice in the back screaming AWWWWWESOME!
I agree with you, little voice. I agree.
Can't wait to see the final picture!

Thanks.

Yes, since I actually like the idea I might finish this picture (also because it is a winter picture), but first after I am done with a commission - I will also have to draw this again from scratch, since the paper is damaged (it got wet).

Considering you drew this on a moving bus, it's very good

And that plot idea sound like fun xD
