Gold star for me for thinking up the most unoriginal concepts on earth.

Will I ever tire of using the Beatles as a drawing subject? Not while I can draw Ringo as a Rhinoceros Beetle, my friends. (he has a big nose, right? And... Rhino beetles have big noses, right? I mean, it's a joke, right?)

Right, so. The Beatles as beetles, perhaps the single most unoriginal thought ever to be put to paper. (also perhaps the most satisfying to draw!) Bonus marks for colour. Everybody is obligated to agree with me that not enough dear souls draw Sgt. Pepper outfits. If I had it my way that's all we'd draw, folks. That and Yellow Submarine costumes. I'm not even remotely kidding for those of you who think I'm goofing around. (okay, maybe just a bit...)

My favorite part is that their mandibles are cleverly hidden inside their mouths (as Paul is so kindly demonstrating for us) and any compound eyes they might have are obscured by raggedy mop tops. Bonus points times a million.

Unlike my last piece this did not take me a zillion years (or layers) to complete. Progress.

Very smooth. I quite like the Beatles. Don't ever be afraid to do a work of art because you think someone else might have thought of the same idea. The way I see it, just about all the good ideas have already been thought up, so it's not so much about thinking up an original idea, but it's about representing a good idea well.
I like it, my mom is a fan of the beatles, I love some of their songs, and this fan art turned quite nice!!! good job :)

This was an awesome comment. Thank you so much for your words.
I'm not as afraid of unoriginal ideas as I'd lead a person to believe, I think. I agree that everything's been done and we're all just rehashing the rehash that was rehashed several times before it was even rehashed... But you're quite right, the best we can do is hope to put a new slant on it, or at least a nice gloss.
Sgt. Pepper outfits are my favorite things to draw... ever. Ask Jess. The amount of times I've drawn Sgt. Pepper related things in comparison to the times I've drawn anthing else is almost frightening. I'm a Sgt. Pepper uniform drawing MACHINE.
DAWHAW! *pets them!* I love the colorful suits and...everything. *squee!*
DUDE. OMG, this so makes me miss the drawing/colouring project we were working on (*cries* Why did you lose interest?!). I wanted to colour George and Ringo so baaaadly, even though Ringo's BLACK and shading black SUCKS.

...

OMG, Sgt. Pepper uniforms. I'd still do George!Beetle in an instant.

... I'm stupid with comments. Ohwell.
