swell

I guess this bear felt that a taste of honey was worth a face full of swelling stings.  I don't know if I feel the same.  Needless to say, I was inspired by Winnie the Pooh, but I wanted to take a more realistic approach of what would happen if you started poking into bee hives.

I've been busy preparing for a week of conferences and conventions, so I had to do this week's illustration pretty quickly.  That's why the style is a little more rough.  It's going to be crazy busy for the next couple of weeks -- but definitely a good kind of crazy.  Don't know when my next post will be, but I promise it shall be soon!

    I love his expression, and if it is your "rough" style, it's a very good rough!! :) The idea is super nice... he just wont give up!!! Lovely character.

    Aw, it looks like he could use a shot of anti-histimine! Cute style.

    I appreciate the "no pain no gain" theme. Which conferences/conventions are you heading out to this month?

    Thanks for the comments everyone! I'm really enjoying experimenting with this more painterly style :)

    @Cynthia: Both the conference and the convention are about Disney content. One is called the D23 Expo and it's going to be cah-razy!
