Parker

Been busy, but I haven't been doing stuff I'm ready to show here. I'm starting a new project that requires a skill set I haven't completely mastered, so I've been doing some self-instructions. It's getting there, but it's not ready for prime time.

One thing I have managed to put together is a picture of Parker - the character from a series of books by Richard Stark (aka Donald Westlake). Over at the Almost Darwyn Cooke blog, there's a contest to win an advance copy of Darwyn Cooke's adaptation of the Parker novel, The Hunter. All you need to do is submit your take on Parker. My original plan was to do something more in the style of the MODOK I did a while ago, but I started doing some sketching based on a photo and I got a bit wrapped up in it. I think if I can find some more minutes I'll do another (because I really want that book - I've been on a huge Darwyn Cooke kick of late).
