Description
This is a portrait of a friend of mine foolish enough to leave pics where I can get at them. Not so much a portrait as a caricature because she is a clown and if you draw a PORTRAIT of a clown you are the kind of artist that must be punched in the throat.The fixed pallette is boring me, but I was listening to Golden Brown and it seemed to fit perfectly.
I may tinker with this more, in which case I'll replace this.
Look at that wonderful wonky smile...
and if you wanna see the original look in my favorites.

That wonky smile is the best thing I have ever seen in a portrait. It reminds me so much of Gris Grimly's work... Lovely!

You have heard of Gris Grimly? I have seen their work in my town.

Their? You mean 'his'. ^^ Yes, I have heard of him.
He's the reason I'm going to art school. I adore his work and it makes me excited to become a professional illustrator.

Pretentious you have a big fat turgid issue with, but loving your own madness... no issue, right? I'm glad this is you new most favorite thing.

I've always loved my own madness. And also - turgid is a pretty disgusting word.

Not as disgusting as smegma.

smegma? forgive my ignorance, but does that relate in any way to red dwarf?
