BEST most unhinged Mike interview just dropped

Correct answer ngl. James is tough and would pulverize you into the next century. And he'd be smiling the entire time as he did it. I'm avoiding a fight with James LaBrie at all costs because I value being alive

Couldn't get this idea out of my head tho so I drew it: Mike refusing to fight the James LaBrie duck

also tons of other great quotes

they bewildered my boy

and ofc:

which prompted this meme:

full interview here: [ x ]

this joke went way too fucking far but now we're here

The main TLDR of it all is I just wanted to make my friends laugh. But I am unfortunately incapable of halfassing shit. I committed fully to the bit and this went too fucking far. It took me like 3 days

Here's my fucking problem

There's a running joke in the friend group that John Petrucci relentlessly brings a sort of sweet, wholesome energy to the function that the cold harsh world don't like. And he's never not talking about Disney in every interview. So eventually it landed him the nickname Long Island Shred Princess John Petrucci

We've been calling him that every time he does something particularly wholesome. We goof on him because we love him. So I thought it'd be funny to draw him as a pretty princess so there'd be a reaction image for the occasion

I figured there's that style of those anime princesses with the flowers that would be really funny

And there's this one photo of him from the 90s that already like... pretty much looks 90% of the way there

So I thought this would be quick n easy. Bang bang done

My fucking problem is 1) I've never seen an anime in my life and I've NEVER drawn in this style before and 2) I don't draw people!! Cuz it's fucking scary!! You're constantly on the precipice of the uncanny valley

And my third problem is 3) I can't do shit normally, so I had the absolute inability to half ass this. Unfortunately I could not let shit go so I brought my whole ass to the occasion

I had to look up a bajillion reference images to get it right and go back and forth for ages on the face stuff

This took me fucking forever, and I committed to the bit way too hard, but it's Fucking. Done.

Enjoy this fucking image, I'm going to go lay the fuck down forever

Fuck me I am so burnt out. I'm gonna go lay in my fucking bed and listen to the entire 2 hour Mike Portnoy Similitude audio commentary as a big big treat
