Joey "The Mutant" Calzone

 

Bronski burst into Chief O'Leary's office.

"Chief!" said Bronski, "I just got the news from a patrol car. There's been another mob hit over by the old toxic waste dump!"

O'Leary moaned. "Not another one! Well, you know what to do. Round up the usual suspects. Let's see, there's Jimmy "Two Heads" Morton, Murray "Shark Lips" Nelson, Eddie "Tentacles" Malone, Paulie "Stiletto Heels (literally)" Gambini and Sonny "Acid Pores" Grubowski."

Bronski jotted down the names on a notepad and headed for the door. "I'll get right on it, Chief!"

"Wait a minute, Bronski!" shouted O'Leary. "Don't forget Joey "The Mutant" Calzone!"

Joey was drawn in Photoshop on the graphic tablet. I'm kind of getting stuck on these yellowish-gold backgrounds. I know I need to try some different colors, but I just like the way the gold looks.

 

Here's the original pen & ink sketch of Joey. Why do people always say "pen & ink?" A little redundant, isn't it? Shouldn't it be "pen & paper?" Anyway, Joey started out as sort of an alien in a jumpsuit.

 

Here's the digital sketch I did of him. By now he was a mutated mob hit man, dressed in a double-breasted suit.
