“He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man” ~ Dr. Samuel Johnson
Here it is. A little different. Same basic idea. Hopefully it was worth the effort. To see the original design click on the following link: One of God’s Own Prototypes. Also yesterday there was a post where I had a pretty loose sketch that was heading in the direction of this Dr. Gonzo character design. There were also plenty of concept thumbnail drawings in that post. You can see Dr. Gonzo has come a long way from my first Fear and Loathing posts: Hitchhiking a Ride to Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and The Fear and Loathing of a back seat Hitchhiker. Feel free to explore any of those links if you want to take in the the making of this character, Dr. Gonzo.
Below are my rough designs for the character and composition for today’s sketch. Check it out….
Nice … I like the Flag curtain with the sun shining through .. but still the 4:3 television .. gonzo has got to get into the digital age!
Absolutely loving these character designs. I’m pretty sure Dr. Gonzo is my favorite of the bunch, a great silhouette.
I haven’t watched it yet, but maybe we can think about a parallelism between the messy room behind him and messy thoughts in his mind. Another great drawing by Zuck.
