I hate this show, and I hate this character. Yet, despite that, I found myself recreating this assholish Border Collie thing's head. I decided to roll with it, and figured that I would do one of two things. Either I would stylize it as a shooting range target, complete with the bulls-eye set between Mr. Pickles' eyes, or I would have the entity's head mounted and bleeding on a pike. I mean, hey, what better way would there be to emphasize how much this series disgusted me when I tried to watch it, only to immediately regret it?

But then I remembered. A while ago, I pledged to stop making hate art-in this case, art that portrayed characters (or sometimes businesses) in a negative light to reflect my contempt for them. I felt it was pointless to spend time and effort on artwork of characters I don't like, when I could instead channel that energy into stuff I do like, or into making what I hate better. Here, though, there's nothing I really could do to make Mr. Pickles better. But, remembering this pledge, I decided to just leave it as a basic fanart piece. I mean, it's not the first time I've MS Painted characters I'm not a fan of. So, for those who are fans of this character and this show, here's a piece of fanart for you.

Weird what artwork of characters you hate can sometimes make you consider.

Meh, I don't really have as much hate for this show as I did, then. It's still in that same style of adult, offensive-for-the-sake-of-offensive animated series I find annoying and pitiful, but I don't really give two craps about it, now. If it works for you, kudos. It just doesn't work for me.
