Recently, a friend showed me a cartoon called Road Rovers by Warner Brothers. The basic principle was a scientist called upon the talents of 5 feral canines and then turns them into anthropomorphic animals or as he calls them, "cano-sapiens" to fight crime, evil, blah blah blah, you get the idea.

It only ran for one series but looked as though it had the potential for more. This is one of the characters who has become my favourite. Coincidently, he's also my friend's favourite character too.

Meet Exile, a husky from Siberia, gifted with super strength and vision. The first time you properly seem him in his 'cano-sapien' form is lifting a large piece of machinery off the floor and hefting it above his head. So, I took that idea and edited it as you can see.

I decided to do something a little different with this picture. You see, it wasn't orginally going to have this background. It would have been similar to most of the pictures in my gallery with a white background and shaded floor. But once again, I made the picture a little too big so Exile's head wouldn't fit on the page properly.

This gave me an idea. I cut out the body and weights, drew the head on a seperate piece of paper, then put it underneath the body after cutting that out. The background piece of paper holds them both together as well adds more to the picture. Finally, when I scanned it in, I cropped it and added the shadow to make the whole thing seem like one picture rather than several ones stuck together.

I wanted to do it this way because it's more interesting to do it manually rather than digitally. Plus cutting with scissors is easier than using the cutting tool with a mouse on a computer program.
