D Eyes Are The Key To Victory!

So, I just spent the past 140 minutes on what you see above. I know it was 140 minutes because I got through two 70 minute mixtapes, the second of which was particularly brilliant. Thanks Mr Spoons for the hook-up.

You were deifinitely right about the eyes. Googly eyes should be saved for googly occasions – like spying beauty (unless you’re Johen Vasquez).  The “D”, as you put it in the comments is a great eyeshape. Note the lil dude is wearing his Don Shoes. He’s also sporting the next item of Don Wear, which I designed yesterday, and is getting printed right now…

It is called Security. Click the image above for a closer look, or check here. It will be ready in a couple of weeks. You can preorder it now if you like. It is printed on an exeedingly classy cotton shirt – an Organic, Fair Wear, Climate Neutral T-shirt, in fact, which costs a bloody fortune, but they were the only people who did the right shade of blue. They also do ladies sizes. The downside is they don’t go past XL, but I promise I’ll get you those with the next shirt.

You can preorder it now, for £14.99. Preorderers get an EXCLUSIVE  and BRAND NEW SONG called – yes – Security. It will be sent to you next week when I have mixed it’s slinky ass.

PREORDER HERE!

Let me know what you think. And what of this new cartoon? Are we getting closer? You’re right about the accessories thing – blob will make an appearance – but I can’t think of any accessories I actually have these days…

    It’s nice…gonna get me one on pay day.

    I never did get that caption prize. Maybe you could include a nice signed Don poster for me in my t shirt instead bro?

      Cheer! Actually, hopefully I'm gonna see set-dressing Tim next week, so I can get it off him!

    Yeah, that looks cool. Suppose the googley eyes make you look like a kid, googley eyes would be good for a flash back Don then.

    I like the Spiderman pose too :P Maybe put some eye brows in? or colour in the eyes? I don't know, not sure what you did in the 140 mins, you could have done all this!

    …okay, so that’s Adam then, looking right fresh! Draw a moustache and big hair over him, and he’s Akira Mk1. Maybe you’re just going through a metamorphosis moment, and you ain’t settled. Maybe it ain’t so much about outward appearance no more. I dunno. Why not hideously mutilate some random part of your anatomy, and then draw that in? On second thoughts, not my best suggestion…

    yeah, def prefer these eyes…. i just think he looks.. kinda… clean (?!)… like he doesn't have the life experience that a don should have, not sure what to suggest to change that tho… still just a little sumfing that doesnt say Zilla the way the old don toon did

    I h'agree. Draw the essence of Akira The Don, not merely it's ever changing outer shell.

  • TBK

    He looks so, MODERN! So unlike the original don style!

    It almost feels like he needs a monocle, or something, to make him more vivid, again!

    Getting there. Big-arse mutated Tetsuo arm?
