Description
I like the "creative process" on this one. It went something like this (keep in mind, this is all internal monologue):"Dude, I/you really need to do a drawing of Gonzo. He's one of my/your favorites. Ever." So I stuck him in there. "Now how am I going to work in the chickens? He could be balancing the chickens. And they could be balancing a hand grenade. NO! Hammer. Yes." In go the chickens. "What should Gonzo be balancing on? A nail? No. What then?" That's when I walked in my room, and sitting next to my X-box was my Sam Eagle action figure.
"Brilliant!"
Anyway, Gonzo really is one of my favorite characters ever invented, in any form of entertainment. I took one of those online "Which Muppet Are You?" quizzes, and it told me I was Fozzie though. Oh well. That actually fits much better.

Well thank you very much. It's a bit of an oldy for me, but I really like the way that the composition turned out.

Thank you very much. I was going for a pretty animated style. Hopefully it shows.

Thank you much man! Glad you enjoy it. I think I have one more Muppets related drawing floating around somewhere.

This truly is briliant!
The curtain in the back looks awesome, and i love Sam's expresion

Thank you! haha. Sam was a last minute addition in there, but I really think he's the one that makes the whole drawing work.

The Great GONZO! Ah, yes! With his lovely assistants Camilla, Stacey, Babara, and Sam Eagle!
"Ready Margaret? ... GREAT! Ready girls!?"
*the chickens start clucking the William Tell Overture*
... he's SO awesome like that.

haha. Exactly. Sam is definitely the brunt of this joke.

"Tonight I will perform a feat of lunatic daring!" I've always wanted a chance to say that in real life. I love Gonzo. This really made my day. Also, I think I had a crush on Sam Eagle when I was five.

I had a crush on him when I was 13 !

Holy crap. I'm ashamed of myself now for never screaming that before going off a sled jump or swinging on a rope swing.
Gonzo is my favorite! He's so off-the-wall half of the time, and then the other half of the time he's a really sympathetic character. Well, perhaps the scale is more 95/5.

haah. Thank you! He's my favorite!

Just like his name implies.

No Swedish chef?
Anyway, better to admire Gonzo, but be Fozzie. There's no need to have a phallus growing from your face. That's just silly.

I know. I had to draw the line somewhere. I'm going to just have to do a whole series of Muppet drawings.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes. Yes you do. And you must include the Swedish Chef. And Statler & Waldorf.

Oh yeah. Rowlf too. He's another of my absolute favorites. I was thinking I just need to do a portrait of Henson with all of the Muppets in the background.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes. that would be sweet.
...or...you could reproduce the fight scene from Anchorman with all the different groups of Muppets...Muppets vs Sesame Street vs Fraggle Rock.
Kermit THE frog (since he's a reporter anyway) could be Ron Burgundy and Fozzie could have a trident. You know that's an AWESOME idea.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ha ha. I think if anyone had the trident it would have to be Bouregard though.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yessss....I forgot about him!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Bouregard is one of my absolute favorites. I love his character in Great Muppet Caper as the taxi driver. I think Rizzo would have to be the Paul Rudd character, and I'd put Sweetums as Champ.

OoOo...they all seem legit. And Guy Smiley as Wes Mantooth.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ha ha. Yes! Guy Smiley as Wes Mantooth, that's GOOD! And Dr. Teeth as the Tim Robbins character.

You could just have the whole The Electric Mayhem band as one gang.

That's very true. It would have to be the PBS one, considering they are a bunch of hippies. ha ha. This is becoming the most elaborate spoof of all time.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
the best spoofs are the elaborate ones. you know you really have to do it now...it's all planned out already.....just get to drawin'!

Haha! That is wonderful! Gonzo is the best. I always look for a plush of him, but they never have them...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah. I remember as a kid how easy it always was to find Piggy, Kermit and Fozzie, but never Gonzo.

its freaking great, one of my favorite muppet too

Thank ya much. Gonzo IS fantastic!

YES! GONZO! He's my favorite of the Muppets. I actually have a stuffed version of him here at my college apartment. I like how you drew him with your style. You've truly captured the wackiness of Gonzo. And then to top it off you've got Sam the Eagle in the picture, who is also one of the best, mainly because he hates everything, but America.

I don't have a stuffed Gonzo, but I do have a couple of action figures. I think I have a stuffed Kermit somewhere at my parents house. I've had the damned thing since I was born.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Yeah he is. That's why he's the "Great" Gonzo.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Of course.. No one gets ''Great'' attached to their name without balancing three chickens and a hammer standing on top a blue bird's head first!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Exactly. I think that's in the dictionary definition.

Man that's goood matey. Brought a smile to my pale English face ...
Love the Muppets .. [link]

Excellent. Glad to hear. Unless you have the cliche English teeth. ha ha.
I wonder if Muppets bleed too. They never really tackled that subject...

Theres not enough Muppets fanart! I dig the colours & them here. Gonzo looks great as does that blue muppet dude-I recognise him, but have no idea of his name!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
His name is Sam Eagle. And I agree with you whole-heartedly. There isn't enough Muppet recognition out there.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
haha this is random and highly enjoyable! Gonzo can quite easily stand on Sam's head balancing hammer chickens and not need any explanation whatsoever
Good work
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ha ha. That's the glory of Gonzo, any ridiculous scenario is credible.

Love it! Sam the Eagle has always been one of my favorites. You captured his lack of amusement very well. I never had a favorite character, I just love the interactions between them. Whenever Kermit explodes on Piggy, I crack up. Character chemistry is everything.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I love Sam's disdain for all of the other Muppets. One think I really liked about the newer Muppets Tonight was when Sam would get stuck doing a "point-counter-point" debate with Piggy's idiot nephews. Those were excellent.
