King Hippo<\/em>
\nDecember 2011
\nWacom Intuos 9×12, Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The pink-fisted ruler of the mysterious Hippo Island comes to us via commission from Casey Fett. I hoped to capture all the raw power of his Punch Out!<\/em> incarnation, with some of the villainous swagger of his Captain N<\/em> character (minus the blue skin and giant nipples).<\/p>\n

This was the last of many sketch variations where I tried to have him roaring in an exultant, bestial manner. In the end, I think he looks like he’s gotten knocked a bit silly (presumably by Disco Kid) but has the manner of a monarch who is thinking “Of course I won – what else did you expect?”<\/p>\n
