A Crustacean in the Stinky Lagoon

One of my most recent paintings, as you can see I am not the greatest painter in the world, it is one of the things I struggle with most. In this particular piece, I tried to give that old painting that has been under the water for years kind of look. I like it, but it is nowhere near the standards I want to put my self in. Spongebob is actually a very personal show for me. It was one of the shows that got me interested in animation. the art direction and character designs in that show take my breath away. This, in my opinion is Stephen Hillenburg's masterpiece, and when he left the show, the episodes, honestly weren't as strong, but I grew up with this show and got my creative juices flowing.
