Name: Jimmy Jones
Weapon: Raw fists of fury!
This is my submission for the Scott Pilgrim 8th Evil Ex contest. I painted this specifically for this contest.
Meduim: acrylic paints
Size: 9x12
Time: probably 5-6 hours
Okay, so a little on why I designed the character the way that I did:
After looking through the headshots of the 7 evil exes, I noticed that most major ethnicities and even both sexes were represented, except that there wasn't an African American person. Therefore, ta-da!
I also decided to paint only a headshot since in the contest ad they showed only headshots (movie version) of the other evil exes; thus, I wanted there to be congruency between what was already created and what I created.
I suppose I should mention that since the other exes are all played by several recognizable actors, I did not think it would be taboo to use for my character a base off of a famous person's features.
And I named him Jimmy Jones because it sounds like a kid's name, so it sounds ironic in light of a huge man about to beat the crap out of a scrawney boy.
One last note: the scanner wouldn't scan all of it, so some of the image on the left and on the bottom got cut off. It isn't much, but I still kinda fear that it may have thrown off the composition a little bit... But hey, just sayin' ;D
Well, well, I hope you all like it, as I worked really hard on it.
Enjoy!

Sta.sh
skin tones are done very well and the scowl suits the theme.
Haha, but I'd have to give credit of the smile to Mr. T - he was my inspiration for this piece xD
Good luck on the contest.
lol j/k
But yeah, I resisted very hard not saying 'I pity the fool' somewhere in the descirption, lol
I just hope they won't take away points, so to speak, for not using a completely origianl character - but hey, they advertised all the characters with actors and not as the comics, so... yeah.
Thanks!!
