I'm unsure about that text. I may make it less textured. Replaced the text.

Okay, I probably sounded really dumb, I should've phrased the question a little better. I meant how did you get the separated pieces to line up so well? Did you draw the figure all in one piece and then cut and slide the segments sideways?

Nope! It was drawn and inked exactly the way you see it. : D

Could I turn this into a poster for my walls? They need this now.

This is great! It kind reminds me Cowboy Bebop, Aenflux, an album cover that The Hives could have had and David Hemmings in Blow Up.

Ah, thank you. I love the look of Cowboy Bebop.

Wow. I didn't know that song. I do now, and I love it ! I'm gonna get obsessed as well.
I love your drawing too, disturbing and catchy, it got me interested in hearing the song after all.
I guess what I wanna say is thank you

this is straight-up gorgeous. i love the idea... and the execution is stellar. it's really so cool on so many levels! but like, even though it looks like the awkward pose is thoroughly intentional, i can't help but feel it could've been a more... beautifully awkward, like a model does. right now the whole body looks really cool, then the shoulder make him look like he's doing the fonzi shrug. but damn if that limp hand doesn't look beautiful

Hee I did a whole school project on this style! Wonderful!

Is this a 'style'? Neat.

Personally, it reminds me of some movie posters from the 50s, e.g [link]
But I guess that might just be me

It's really cool to hear that, because the color palette was inspired by Robert McGinnis' work.

Awesome, his work is fantastic.

Wow, I just, really really like this. The composition and the way you colored it and...everything is really cool. c:

oh man, see in my Tumblr rant about composition this is the kinda stuff i wish i could do
crazy cool!!
I love how you've showed bob's awkward body language
also he has gorgeous hands
he should consider hand modelling if his whole shebang doesn't work out
Also also, if you're having trouble with the typeface go for something a little smaller and edgier. It seems a little punk rock in comparison to the sophisticated design elsewhere.
Absolutely wonderful work darling

I missed the LS! D: But I really enjoyed seeing you sketch !
I really love this. I think the closest word I know for this is... organic. I don't know. I think it's quite different. And pretty. And it's Bob.
This is purely a subjective suggestion but maybe adding a "pop" colour to the shoe? Bob seems a little unbalanced to me (like all dark at the bottom and dark/light on top). I'm not sure if I've made any sense. Exams are killing my social and communicative brain cells! XD
tl;dr I think Bob is really cool and I rambled.

Thank you. I appreciate it!
I thought about going in and doing more detail work on things like the shoes and belt, but I thought it might be sort of distracting. I liked the idea of all the eye-catching stuff being up at the top of his figure, and was concerned that putting more attention-grabby stuff at the bottom (when there's already text down there) might prevent the eye from traveling upward.

My eyes seem to just "jump" from Bob's face and torso to the text.

And I do love that new text.

Agreed about the text. Perhaps a more blocky, fragmented style would work out better.
I do like the sliced-up feeling the man has, though!

Nice red thar. On HGTV they would put it on the fringe of a pillow and call that an "accent" that really "pops."
I agree about the text, I don't like the roundness of it, sort of clashes with the angles in the rest of the pic.

i would like to make out with his hands
Also this palette is fuckin' bangin'.

THANK YOU I was worried about the palette. And hands.

man I dig the willingness to experiment
you've got a lot of cool stuff going on

Thanks. I'm tired of having my work not be representative of my taste.

I agree with you about the text, but you have already had my thoughts.
I really like this! I feel like there is a lot of you in it, like a calling card kind of thing. Defining stuff. Maybe we are getting closer to a place where we can say what a Tish do.

Ah, I'm so glad to hear that - except about the text thing, of course, but that's easy to fix. I'll go ahead and fix that now.
Maybe there is hope yet~

I'm short-term obsessed with that song. f;alksdgha;sdlfkgh
And thank you so much! I've been deep in some pretty serious art block, and I'm trying to claw my way back out of it and get back down to bidness.

If two months and counting can qualify as "short-term obsessed" then so am I. I'm actually obsessed with a bunch of songs right now and I listen to the same playlist over and over when I travel to my internship. I dunno if I'll ever get sick of them. XD
And good luck with getting back down to bidness! I've missed your art!
