Ajax Has A Lolli by @jessratte (Jessica Ratté)

I've just decided to give up on my scanner ever being able to produce a half decent scan. Well, I'm actually convinced that all my pictures that I actually like, my scanner will not produce a good scan of them.
looks left...then right.... whispers I'm actually just saying that out loud so that my scanner will think that I've given up and that it has won...
But you just wait. You just wait Scanner. THE END IS NEAR.
picks up a paper clip and an elastic band, and prepares for her McGuyver plot to destroy her scanner...
Anyway.
So one day, I said to Self, I said, Self, Imma gonna draw Ajax. And then Self was like, "IMMA REALLY HAPPY FOR YOU, AND IMMA GONNA LET YOU FINISH, BUT YOU HAVE THE MOST FAILS OF ALL TIME! OF ALL TIME!"
/Kanye West is a Douchebag reference
So off I went, deciding that I was going to draw yet another "epic" drawing that is sure to just BLOW YOU AWAY with epicness. blows on you, pretending to be blowing you away with epicness. So anyway. I felt like drawing Ajax because he's a fun character to draw and usually takes, like, five seconds and he's quick and easy and stuff. Just like Shake and Bake. Or something. Shake and Bake Ajax. HURRRR!! :icondurrhurrplz:
Why do you have to type out everything you are thinking Jess?
WHY DO YOU HAVE TO TYPE OUT EVERYTHING YOU'RE THINKING BRAIN???
Anyway. So I was just looking at this picture of Rihanna, out of all people, and I got the idea for this picture. For some really bizarre reason, my best male-character pictures come from looking at females for pose ideas. I really have no idea why. Maybe its because whenever I look at males in Vogue or whatever they are always really boring. Heaven forbid men pose excitingly. Anyway, Rihanna had a lollipop, and for some reason I felt like I wanted to give Ajax a lolli too.
Which doesn't really look like a lolli anymore, since we are to assume that he devoured it already, but it could also be a pen. Perhaps one of those Popeye Cigarette things. Maybe a chop stick. Perhaps he does what I do when I'm eating sushi and just jabs the stick into the food and eats it as such (when no one is looking of course.) Anyway. The initial idea was that it was supposed to be a lollipop. But as always, everythings open for interpretation. I guess. I dunno what the hell I'm saying anymore.
Anyway, so here he is. I'm pretty happy with how it came out :D I love his sweet little innocent AWWWW look he has about him. And I love his little swagger he has. And once again I destroyed his jeans because I love destroyed jeans. And for the record, his boxers are supposed to be AC*insert lightning bolt here*DC boxers. You are probably wondering why I always draw him with ACDC stuff. Well, he likes the band, and two, I'm actually too lazy to draw any other metal bands irritatingly complex band logo tshirts and such. ACDC is nice and simple and fits. And I'm pretty sure that's a popped collah he's got goin on. Go get 'em, Tiger.
(Just not in Tiger Woods fashion, of course.)
Anyway, the background was done with simple watercolours, nothing too fancy as per usual, but I do like how the colours came out :D I always like how watercolours turn out. Sometimes I never get the effect I want with watercolour pencils, but watercolour paints always paint nicer. If that makes any sense. It probably doesn't, because it's me, but whatever.
I really like his hand too. I actually am surprised my hands are turning out these days. Perhaps I am...GASPS...NOT AS FAIL AS I THOUGHT I WAS! :icongaspplz:
I think not, Jess.
And of course, as per usual, my scan of this one is absolutely hideous. Once again my scanner spewed out ectoplasmic like crap all over the picture, making it really blurry and screwing up all my colours and making crap all over my picture. At first I thought my scanner did this because watercolours make my pictures rumply, but it really just does this with everything I draw, so I just can't win. It's almost like all my old scanners that screwed up my pictures in the past have been reincarnated into this one and have come back to take revenge on me. Even tho I've never done anything to my scanners. That's okay. I'll, like, come back as like...the light in the scanner that goes WEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOO and stuff when it's scanning pictures and blind my scanners so they never do anything to harm us again.
- Yeah, that makes sense. :iconblankstareplz: *
I know. That's like my best plot to destroy my scanner EVAR.
- :iconblankstareplz: *
Anyway. Just a doodly of Ajax! Aw, he's so much fun. You know, since I've decided that Dominique was going to be his best gal-pal, he's been dressing a lot nicer these days. Cute. And I know the arm that is to your left might look a little weird. Drawing arms in that fashion are really hard. Just pretend he's got stretchy arms or something.
Stretchy arms would be sweet. Then I'd just stretch my arms really long to get things so I'd like, never have to get up. EVER.
Anyway. So yes, just Ajax, being Ajax. If this was Mac, he'd probably say he has another lollipop for you, in his pants. But because Ajax just might have a little bit more of a brain then Mac, he'll spare you the penis references.
So yes, Ajax here is © to Jess Ratte :D
I give you props for the clothing folds. Those came out really well. :D
