I still have a soft spot in my heart for the original Poseidon’s Bouncer; he was big, green, and mean, and very effectively communicated “keep your trash out of my ocean!” But with his vibrant color and significant size, no one seemed to want to take him home, so the planned edition of 100 turned into one print and one artist’s proof (ooh, collector’s items now!) and he’s just been hanging around intimidatingly ever since.
But when a discussion about print sizes and the recurring “we need more hot guys in fantasy art” discussions on a genre artists list I frequent came around again, I decided that perhaps he needed a makeover.
Now, in a more approachable (and old-time-y feel sepia) and more manageable 8×10 size, Poseidon’s Bouncer Redux:
I have not decided for sure if he actually gets a print run or not, though, so if you have an opinion (especially of the form “I want one, and I’m going to Confluence, Foolscap, Spocon and/or believe in online orders”) let me know.
The first version still needs a t-shirt, I think, probably with some more explicitly fish-hugger text.
