SPC - 'Portals' - #4

The 'Portals' challenge continues at Self Portrait Challenge.

This is a recreation of another "The Far Side" cartoon.

Slightly less faithful to the original cartoon this time, but still crediting Larson for the inspiration.

Decided to stick with a similar 'comic book' visual style like last week.

Damned

Here's the original edit:

I considered trying to add the Satan character in, but Christy wouldn't cooperate, that little devil! :-)

SPC - 'Portals' - #3

This is a recreation of one of my favorite "The Far Side" panels.

Decided to go for that 'comic book' visual style, considering the inspiration.

I'm really happy with how this one turned out:

Midvale School for the Gifted


Here's my shot, straight out of the camera:

As you can see, the paper box there in the bottom left was just a place-holder for what would later become the sign.

Classic!

Photo Friday - 'Urban Landscape'

Supermarket

Submitted this for Photo Friday's theme last week, 'Seaside.'

I didn't post it here because you've probably seen it before.
