Thought I'd try a different more cartoonish style. 17th of October 2012.

The names Mary and Poppin were half jokingly suggested by my brother. It's a combination of Mary Poppins and Merry and Pippin, with a bit of Popeye mixed in. I imagined Mary to be Poppin's (grand)daughter or niece while drawing this. I think I like the granddaughter idea most.

I had Poppin almost finished (color and shading and all) when I started sketching Mary, because I felt like drawing a teenage girl with modern equipment to contrast the old bulky man with his trusted shovel. At first I made the jackhammer bright red, but I thought a hard pink would be funnier.

The sketches I made for this are found in blue in this sketch dump . I only used a few reference pics, all pictures of jackhammers from Wikimedia for inspiration for the jackhammer's design.
