I wanted to do another painting tonight, to redeem myself and all.  So I set at it.  For the subject, I had intended on doing Power Howard from Power Hower…

So I began work on the background.  The background is really the part of this painting I am most proud of.  I really like how the colors fade.  I probably spent most of my time on that.

The creature coming out of the hole was put together rather quickly.  I didn’t want it to have particularly sharp edges or a particularly smooth gradient, because I’ve already seen that.  I like how it turned out, except the space on the side of his mouth is a little too wide.

For that reason, I am referring to the subject of this painting, not as Power Howard, but Power Howard’s Angry Uncle.  See the family resemblance?

Full size.

Also note, this is the first painting I signed on the front.  What it do?

I’ve noticed that The Kevin Dolan has a particularly high bounce rate.  For those of you who don’t know, bounce rate is the percentage of people who arrive at your website, but then immediately leave within about 20 seconds.

Strategies for improving your bounce rate generally include making the site look a little more inviting.  So I decided I would add some color with these cute little critters.

You may recognize Power Howard from the Power Hower Power Hour Timer on the left.  New to the critters crew is the stoned squid in the upper-right hand corner, and also our little blue angel to the right.

So hopefully now, people will at least be interested in looking at these little guys all around the screen.  I know, I know, they’re completely irrelevant… but let’s just see!

Also, notice the awesome recursive post image?!
