I first drew Roy back around 1995. I was sitting at work, bored out of my skull, and started doodling. A few minutes later, this came out. I have no idea where it came from; it's probably best if none of us ever know.
Don't ask Roy how he goes to the bathroom. He will begin sobbing quietly and walk away.
I've sketched Roy a few times over the years, but this is the first time I've ever rendered him in color. I never had to think about how the transition from human to poodle should look until now.
There's a couple things I need to fine tune. For example, I think the poodles need to be foaming at the mouth more.
If you had a couple of poodle hand puppets, a gym teacher uniform and a whistle, you could dress as Roy for Halloween!
Drawn in Photoshop on the graphic tablet.
Here's the digital sketch of Roy.
And here's the original sketch I did of him some 10 or 12 years ago. Not sure why it took me so long to get around to drawing him up proper.
