Brainfreeze 2

Brainfreeze (2)
January-August 2010
Wacom Intuos 9x12, Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0

I started this picture in January, didn't touch it for eight months, and finished it in August. I guess I just needed to charge up for it!

Brainfreeze's basic face here is based on that of Christopher Titus. It was a toss-up between him and Jake Busey, both of whom would have been in the running to play a live-action Brainfreeze if this was ten years ago and I was in the business of making movies.

While I was coming up with the basic idea of a block wall background, Booyah saw it and asked "Alley, or interrogation room?" With that in mind, I liked it enough to keep it.

Brainfreeze looks a little bit dead-eyed here (think Jack Nicholson at the end of The Shining), but if you analyze his mouth beneath his ice-jaw, you'll see that he's smirking. He's up to something!
