...BUT NO EFFIN' CIGAR! Haha!
So Eric's away (yes...again!) for the beginning of the New Year and while I wasn't worried about winning our bet, my heart did skip a beat when an e-mail came at the 13th hour from the reclusive bastard which had these attachments to it! Then, because I can count at least up to 21 (which was the final image deficit after the ten he's put up since the inception of our wager) , I realized that the man came up four...count 'em...FOUR images short! Whoo-hoo! Whew! Er...I mean, I knew he couldn't do it! Guess who's $40.00 richer and a future "ROCKSTAR"?! You got it:
ME!
All kidding aside, with Enter The Mandarin , the holidays and...um...another bit of planning he's doing, I'm surprised and amazed he came this close. But unless we're playing horseshoes, close doesn't count for much and I'm still the big winner!
Anyway, here's what the loser had to say:
"Hey, man. Yeah, yeah, yeah...I know. So I'm short a couple of images. But I mean, can you really blame me? What would *you* rather do: go fishing or draw? You see my conundrum. Haha! Put these up on the blog for me and ask people to please not be too disappointed for not giving them thirty one images total. I know I let 'em down. Dammit. Oh, also...post a 'Happy New Year' too. I swear I'll make it up when I get home on Tuesday? And I guess we can go shopping for your damn video game then too - you lucky bastard! Hope your New Year's eve is going well and that you don't have too many questionable women in my house. I'll see you soon.
Oh, yeah. Hey, you...yeah, YOU. You are so cool."
No, Eric...not *too* many questionable women. Just the right amount. Heh.
Like the man said folks, here's hoping the best to you and yours in the upcoming year. Thanks for reading along and hopefully I can bamboozle him into another bet like this one. Oh, and enjoy the images!
Now, what to do with $40.00? Hmm....

DAMN - that was worth the wait!
Happy New Year!
Thanx for posting all that. Your designs rules. Good luck for the project, looks amazing.
*clap* *clap* *clap* BRAVO Eric! With December as busy as it usually is for most people to get even one a week done is an amazing feat. You rock even if you're 4 short. What an inspiring way to bring in the new year.
WOW ! A lot of good drawings ! that i like ! :)
An embarrassment of riches to start off the new year.
My favorites, in no particular order are
Gravedigger, The little girl in the window, and snakecharmer
Wowzers! Each piece was a winner! What a way to start the new year. Thank you!
Dude, you rock! Each one is really well done and four short is very good, also you have something to improve upon for next year. :)
Happy New Year!
Rockin stuff hon, so loving the snake charmer, and the duckies!!
well, i was going to do a list of the ones i liked like brian but when i went back over them i could see that i liked the majority so... i'll say this:
YOU are so cool :)
...and jon too
happy new year jon and eric!
Intense! Here I was wondering if Eric would win the bet - though I knida figured it was a REALLY tall order - but DAMN! He got so close!
Each of these pieces are excellent!
Well done, Eric!
Congrats, Jon!
Happy new year to you both.
hmm... what to do with $40...well, i think you should go buy some rockstar sunglasses and an 80's metal shirt so when you play rockstar, you can look the part...oh yeah..and then buy some Rockstar energy drinks. you'll need em. that game is fucking hella fun!!!
eric~ on the art: HOT DAMN! this is some of your best stuff, innovative, BEAUTIFUL, im so fricken inspired right now (not to mention jealous of your mad, MAD skillz!)! you are one amazing person, to have these all in your head and manage to get them down on paper in such realization!!! WOW. fucking WOWOWOWOWOWOW!!!! O_O*
Wow, what a great set of drawings! I would love to see you work on some kind of fantasy story.
Thanks for sharing, Happy New Year, hope it's a safe, healthy, productive one!
Great stuff. I particularly like the snake woman. As they say up north, "ooh, nips like a cobbler's thumbs".
See also: Kate Moss.
Fantastic! Sorry to hear Eric did'nt reach the desired number, but it's still a win for any fortunate enough to see these images.

YUP!
Wow!
Those are some sweeeeeeeeet drawings.
The hell with (supposedly) lacking for 4; you *could* have cheapened a few of those and busted out another sketchier 4, but you opted to kick ass instead.
Well done.
Looking forward to being wowed by you some more in “2008”.

wow-o-wow-o-WOW!
These are sensational!
Were these done for a specific purpose, or are they commissions?
Maybe done just for this blog of yours? Based on what I read of 'the bet', I guess so?
In ANY case... can I have one?
;)-
Seriously, are these for sale?
Oh, and 'Hi comikxguy!'
Thanx for all the artzy, comic goodness, Eric!!
Best,
Eric
