Dr. Teeth Illustration

[Reevz1977]

Hi Folks,
I'm currently working on a MASSIVE muppet project (just for the **** of it!) featuring ALL of the Muppets from the Muppet Show. Here is an early glimpse at Dr Teeth. This is very much a work in progress and nowhere near finished - I just wanted to see what you guys thought.

...That is... GORGEOUS! I can't even... WOW! That is, quite honestly, one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. I cannot WAIT to see the completed project if just your Dr. Teeth looks like THAT! Incredible! ! !

He looks amazing!

What tips do you have on creating the Muppet hair? I've never seen it replicated so nicely. The facial texture is also spot-on.

I can hardly believe that's a drawing! EXCELLENT work!

Wow....
That is absolutely Brilligliciously amazing. What Skill, What Grace, What Carpal Tunnel from the mouse...

It looks like you should be making a Muppets video game :3

That is quiet an impressive picture. At first glance, I thought it was a photo but then I noticed that edges and realized that it was an illustration.

I have to commend you on this, it is amazing.

Thanks for all the kind words Folks, it is genuinely encouraging that people on this forum like it. I am quietly optimistic that the final piece could go down well with fellow fans. Currently near complete characters are:

Kermit
Scooter
Rizzo
Lew Zealand
Bunsen & Beaker
Animal
A random Muppet Rabbit
Swedish Chef (who has turned out to be my favourite so far!)
Gonzo
and Statler.

One thing I must stress is I could not have done this without the help of a certain Frogboy! Speaking of which...

What tips do you have on creating the Muppet hair? I've never seen it replicated so nicely. The facial texture is also spot-on.

Hey Jamie, the secret to that is a wacom tablet and a heck of a lot of patience! I tend to pick about 6 shades of a color and do LOADS of hair on seperate layers and just build it up from there.

Wow, fantastic work!
