Story: Withnail & I

Two out-of-work actors in the 60s get tired of their having no food, no heat, no jobs, ect, and decide to go on holiday in the country, which turns out to be an utter gong show. One of the funniest movies I've seen in a very long time and I heartily recommend it, especially now that the Criterion Collection has released a snazzy version of it.

This is Withnail & I sitting around in their run-down flat, dishes piling up and supporting fledgling ecosystems. Marwood (AKA & I - character on the couch) is also suffering through an overdose and pondering how Withnail is driving him crazy.

Acrylic ink, colors adjusted slightly in photoshop. I love this story, I had fun with the drawings, so I guess I'm extra dissapointed that the finished piece was such a hack rush-job. I plan on redoing these over the summer.

"How DARE you call ME inhumane! Right, you f*cker, I'm going to do the washing up!"

This is my favourite movie under the SUN.
You definitely captured the utter squalor of their existence.

Your Withnail seems...un-Withnail-ish to me. That said, Marwood is bloody well spot on, and the overall composition and style is utterly fantastic.

This is so great. I love how you do your lineart, and the colors are amazing!
Plus Withnail & I is kind of the best movie ever.

I especially like Withnail with his "Shakespeare-Hamlet-Skull"

I love the different sides of your style. This reminds me a little of what Hans from A class has been doing. He's hahahans if you're interested in checking him out.

ya, trying to experiment with some different stuff and see what works... the teachers this year have really been challenging us to try new stuff. This assignment though was a bit of a gong show... I want to come back to these this summer and do a better job.

I'll have to check out hans' stuff.

That's good! I'm excited for next year, especially the comic book project.
