"Vyvyan Vyvyan Vyvyan!"

"...Honestly! Any time something blows up in this house, it's always blame Vyvyan!"

It was getting all too weekly (illustrationy) in here, so I'll post some Vyv sketches to break the monotony.




Yeah, you can't believe how much exactly I love The Young Ones.

I've been watching my DVDs over and over and racking my brain over which pose I want for the maquette. Out of impatience I might settle for this one (except for the face, please ignore the face)



...Because then I can make him hold different objects in his fist -- such as the knife in the above picture, or a cricket bat, or SPG (OBVIOUSLY I'm making a tiny, orange SPG doll as well! Wouldn't be right without him!)

Like I said I'm making a caricature, not a realistic maquette, but this face was just so awesome that I had to draw it.

"This calls for a very special blend of psychology and extreme violence."

My first attempts at sketching Vyvyan from The Young Ones, for the maquette. Don't expect it anytime soon, though. There's still a lot of sketching to be done. And getting down a really characteristic pose, for one.




I just love Ade Edmondson's face, and when he's playing Vyv, the (already prominent) jaw is jutted out and the cheeks are sucked in.

I don't want to make it all realistic-like, more of a caricature. And I find it so hard to simplify people. I mean, for me it takes ages of drawing a person before I can "unearth" something that's simple but still recognisable. That's not a great way to do it, I'm pretty sure. I hope it's just lack of practise.
