Wacky Reference Wednesdays, No. 103

Tuesday, April 20, 2010


Sabretooth: Open Season #4, Cover. 2004. Oil on masonite, 16 x 24".



These photos must have been prior to my joining the gym. It doesn't look like the "ab roller" in the foreground is doing much for my midriff, either. But I know what you're really wondering: where did I get such great mouth reference for Wendigo? Well, I always use gapingmaws.com for all my open-mouth animal reference needs! I love the internet.




Wacky Reference Wednesdays No. 16 features another photo taken for this cover... still just as embarrassing.

  5. Do I sense a hint of unnecessary self-consciousness, Paolo? Tsk-tsk.

  6. Thanks so much, everybody!

    Christina, it's more than a hint, but it's necessary.
