Mickey’s Mutilation

March 7, 2008

My mom contacted me awhile back looking for a new desktop image but with a twist. She wanted to play a practical joke on her boss who happens to be a huge Mickey Mouse fan. Needless to say, she asked me to use my imagination and draw a gruesome looking Mickey. So I put my thinking cap on, found some reference images and threw together a quick sketch for moms to see. She loved it.

At first I was just going to throw some blood on the sketch and make that the final image but after playing around with some colors I decided to finish it. After I sent mom the finished file she went and put it on her bosses computer which was then followed up by a nice email to me from her boss saying “Thanks, but could I get something with a little less blood!”

So, no harm done. Except to Mickey that is. – S
