Meep, Meep!

Well, an unfinished piece from me, didn't quite manage to give it the time it deserved...

Funny thing was that when i was getting some ideas for what i wanted to do i started off by drawing Wile with a jetpack on his back then thought that was too complicated for the tradition of the Looney Toons cartoons, so i simplified it down to having him sat on a rocket. So off i went, put all the linework down in illustrator, got his pose right, drew the rocket, and just needed to sort out his facial expression.

Anyway, i have a book called "the ACME catalog" which has all the contraptions Wile used to try and catch the roadrunner in, with various pictures of Wile himself. So there i was using it for reference, when what do i find in there?

A picture of Wile sat on top of a rocket......whoever says there are no original ideas left may have a point....
