Image Of The Day: Frendo Preston

CLICK FOR TRENCHCOAT FUN! (21k)

This was another quick flight of whimsey. Frendo Preston was an RPG character of mine from way back (>12 years). The RPG was either TSR's Marvel Super Heroes or Teenagers From Outer Space... but you would swear it was from Paladium's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles based on how I drew the character... Hey, TMNT smacked me over the head in the late 80's as I dug back in time into the source material for the cartoon. It was bound to influence my style!

Frendo has always been a favorite doodle of mine because I love trenchcoats. Since the dawn of time I've always wanted one, but I resolved myself to the idea that I would never find one that fit me (one of the main disadvantages to being 6'7" is looking like your mother even gave up dressing you). And of course, now it's all passe to wear trenchcoats so the point is moot.

You'll notice in this drawing my two biggest weaknesses... guns and shoes. I can't draw either realistically. But hey, if Rob Liefeld could make a carreer out of Toaster Cannons and pointy little feet, then I can get away with my automatic cigar box!
