Recently i’ve been itching to do portraits. Mainly to test myself with likeness. I also listen to a podcast called The Grandmas Virginity Podcast, which is somewhat of a variety show, nothing to do with Virgin Grandmothers. I see it in my minds eye as a radio Pee-wee's Playhouse for adults...with a lot of farts.
Anyways, they use episode art for each show they release so i decided to take a shot at it. Especially considering how much production goes into each episode and they release it for free.
I started out with some quick little composition doodles. I already had an idea of what i wanted to draw. The creator of the podcast, Justin, who is a cartoonist, and voice actor (Adventure Time, Fish Hooks). The show always ends up in hilarious cul-de-sac’s with really strange characters and ideas.
I knew how i wanted the logo to look, but I had to study the structure of the other two hosts of the show Writer Jackie Buscarino and Writer Ryan Ridley .
The best part about this was imagining and creating what the characters Justin creates would look like. These are “people" who i’ve only heard the voice of. I wanted to do every re-occuring character but i settled on my favourites, including:
-The farting sound effects, They're always funny
-Dr. Wattinski, guest Rob Schrab’s doctor (bassed on Watto)
-Mario, a really pathetic, shell of what he used to be
...and my all time favourite:
-Psychic Abilities. A psychic rapper who stumbles over his words and psychic readings.
The result was this:
I thought Smith Harrison deserved to be included because he’s the only guest to be on every episode so far.
I wish the speech bubbles thing worked better and was more dynamic. Other then that I’m very happy with the result.
Thanks for reading!
