Aye up.

Taking in to context that:
I was going for a cartoony feel with some seriousness in the main character.
I used my laptop touch pad (Not that that makes a difference as I'm used to it).
And, I don't like dongs.
I came up with this fiesty fellow...

..The Colour Theif.
There's a story behind this guy, which his eyes won't tell you. Only I will.

Back when he was a kid, you see, he was a colourful fellow. He was lovin' it, livin' life large. He was so colourful rainbows would drop by to see what was right and wrong in the world of colourology.
As he got older (By about 5 days) his body began to change. The colour had given him power, power to walk. Being a large plant, as you'll soon see, people were scared of him and his colourful exterior. On the inside it was all black and white, but on the outside it was like a pixie rave.
The city he was living in got sick of his colourful attitude and stole his colours away whilst he was sleeping. They then threw him out of town.

He woke up to see he was all black and white in the middle of nowhere.
Shit. His blood began to boil, and he set out to make everything dull. But, he had no magical powers, so he just tried killing himself.
Failing to do so, he was visited by Archie, the oversized worm. Archie had wanted things to be dull too, sure, he had a red tie, but that's the only colour he liked.
After talking to each other about how they wanted the world to be black and white, they decided they'd do something about it. Archie had a bottle his father had given to him as a kid to stop the Pixies from tearing him apart, it drained the colour from them and allowed Archie to crawl inside them and eat 'em from the inside out.
AMAZING!

Archie and our Colourless fellow got together and traveled around draining the colour out of everything they passed. YAY!
On their travels, they came to his home town. Shits gon' go down!

That's where they are now.

Really nothing special, took me about 30 minutes. Don't point out the fact the clouds look like grey turds.
I may start doing more now I have rendered my life boring for the next 6 weeks.

Enjoy.

i think you should carry on the story, and it made me feel quite sad, the abscence of colour :( very good art work, especially for a laptop touchpad. keep it up :)

you spelled "thief" incorrectly.

besides that, I think it's a pretty neat picture.
the only reason I'm pointing out that you spelled it wrong is because I specifically hate when that word is spelled wrong.

Thank you. I just did it to pass time. I may add some more to it if I can be bothered.

More comments please?
I know it's nothing serious of mine, but it's the first thing I've done in a while and it'd be nice for some comments.
