REQUEST: Small Marvin the Martian

· 5 messages · 6 May 1994 - 14 May 1994
I'm a big fan of Marvin the Martian (tm) and was wondering if anyone
had a slightly smaller picture (maybe .sig sized?) of him than the one
that was posted here recently? Thanx much.
Christ died for our sins. Dare we make his martyrdom meaningless by
not committing them.? Jules Pfeiffer

Thanx much. Small is hard.

That they are. That's why we have so much respect for Normand, Row, and
the other exceptional artists here. But on to my point, I'm really
impressed with the head. Please finish him! (Just a little encouragement
to spur you on.)
And let that be a note to all you passive readers, if you like something,
mail the person and thank them. I don't mean mail every single person
whose ever posted here, but note the exceptional stuff you see. Hopefully
it will encourage that person to do more and share it with us.

Hmm. I wasn't planning on adding a body, mainly because I already
made one attempt and failed :). But I took another look at it, and
this is what I've managed to do.

The results aren't great, but I don't think I can do much better at
this size. It's easy to spend days fiddling with small pictures like
this, trying to make tiny improvements. I think it's time for me to
move on to something else...
If anyone can figure out what to do with the left hand so it doesn't
interfere with the skirt, feel free. And that thing he's holding in
his right hand could use some work. (Is it a power drill or a hair
dryer? :)
