I bunked with this flea-ridden mutt recently while doing some time (don’t ask, please). Dude was snickering as he came in, that smug, dull gaze told me he had just sparked some reeeal heavy shit. We hit it off right away, if you can even call having a smoke induced back-and-forth rambling “hitting it off”. Somewhere down the line, one of us made the excellent point that we had to figure out how to keep the sober away with our stash confiscated. I do recall that he was the first to present his paws to me, caked with grunge from however long it had been since he last showered.
Needless to say, that did the trick.
Little sketch for my friend Savaj on twitter, based on an older appearance of one of his retired characters, Paradox. Dude was one of the earlier inspirations when I was redesigning Diego, and I still dig his look here, even if it's outdated (I was going off of THIS drawing specifically).
