[Groop] Groo Fan Art

[Conor Geoghegan]

Ahoy!

I'd definitely be up for drawing some Groo Fan Art (whether it's printed or 
not, heh heh)!
Groo and Archie comics were pretty much the only comics I read as a kid, and 
Mr. Aragones' art style (and Mr. Evanier's Groo-Grams humour) had an 
especially big influence on my mushy child-brain.

You can see some non-Groo-related images of mine at the following links (if 
you so desire). I draw cartoons for fun, and even though I do try to vary 
their 'visual style', I've been told that the Aragones-influence does tend 
to slither in to the pictures every so often, heh heh, but you can decide 
for yourself:

And here's a short comic that I recently did for a friend's comic-book 
anthology. I had to draw it in one day, so - as much as it pains me to admit 
this, I ended up using some well-known Groo staples (like the 'intro 
banners', the looseness of the line art, and I even based the look of the 
dragon on my memories of the dragons in Groo), because I simply couldn't 
think of anything better. I revile un-originality, so hopefully by admitting 
to the influences, I can 'clear some of the karma':

(and if you're wondering why it's signed "by CogNoman": I use that alias 
when I draw cartoons, partly because my real name is impossible to 
spell...."cognoman" is latin for "nickname").

So, yeah. We have 3.5 months to sketch up a little black & white piece of 
Groo Fan Art?
I think I can do that.

One question, though: What should I do with it when I finish it? Post it on 
the Dark Horse forums?

Thanks!
