I had the pleasure of knowing über manga-jock, Mitch Lacroix,
for a short time. Mitch's idea of an evening's entertainment
was sitting at the kitchen table with a stack of blank 8.5 x 11's,
asking people what to draw. Made-up Creature, for
example. Mitch asked for something challenging so I said:
“A horse, crossed with a bee.” His girlfriend added:
“And a dragon.” Mitch looked off for about thirty
seconds, picked up his mechanical pencil, and produced the
finished sketch in less than five minutes.
I so fell in love with Mitch's sketches that I got his
permission to go at a few of them with
the GIMP.
These are the results.
