All That Was Left of Him Was His Yellow Hat

All That Was Left of Him Was His Yellow Hat by Steven Novak

All That Was Left of Him Was His Yellow Hat

Sure, the bird was interesting, but he really should have paid more attention to what was coming up behind him. Unfortunately for Willie “The Birdman” Whiters, it would be the last mistake he would ever make.

I just finished this one up last night. Overall, I’m fairly pleased with it.

All That Was Left of Him Was His Yellow Hat belongs to the following groups:

Art and Stories Made For Children, Cartoon Paddock, Happy Haven, Humour Captured, Nerds Unite, Parallel Dimensions, The Birds and Vibrant and Vivid Color

    great work .. and i think this image (and your words beside) are a true metaphor for life .. being one tracked in vision .. that sort of thing ..

    You certainly should be pleased with this Steven. It displays your artistic talents wonderfully … and also your sense of humour, which adds so much to your work. The bird looks as though he is trying to decide whether or not to alert the man to the danger behind him. With the right publicity you could be BIG … and I mean that.

    The bird is a private sort of guy – hates being watched. He doesn’t necessarily WANT the old guy to be eaten, but he isn’t too upset about it either. ;)

    Thanks! Wouldn’t you be grumpy if some old man was watching you through a pair of binoculars constantly? Of course. You would also call the police. ;)

    Thanks Dave! Plus, I’m already “BIG.” Bigger than I should be in fact. Working in front of a desk day in and day out will do that to you. ;)

    The dinosaur gets most of him, the crabby bird gets what is left on the bones. ;)

  • Steven Novak

    Steven Novak in reply to Jan Piller’s comment, 2 months ago

    Thanks Jan! The bird is sick of the old guy, doesn’t understand the point of what he’s doing…won’t be sad to see him go. ;)

    Much appreciated Seth! I do think I got the characters expressions right on this one, even if the piece has a few technical glitches.

    I won’t criticise you for being “big” as I suffer from expanding stomach syndrome myself; otherwise known as overeating :) I still think you could be big in a more constructive way though …. as an illustrator.

    Steven this has made my day, the guy looks as though he is aware of the extra heavy hand on his shoulder, wondering ‘what is that?” you have a sense of humour which is good in this day and age.
