It says "This is not a deviation"
So then what is it? Oooh makes ya think.

So wow another picture where I crammed a bunch of stuff on a piece of paper, how original is that -_-, it's bloody original I say! This picture is a throwback to stuff I used to draw in my giant collage-esque pics like bunnies, sunflowers, puking rainbows and combines it with stuff I like now like...dilapidated buildings...and parodies of things.

While I have several gripes with this picture: I hate the composition, the anatomy sucks, the coloring could've been better, some parts are really sloppy, my biggest gripe is there could've been more junk everywhere! I mean I wanted detail up the wazoo (whatever that is). And frankly this is more detailed and cooler than the SSBB: LET'S FIGHTING LOVE picture.

It was really annoying to draw this (besides the 10 hours it took to do it) because I kept erasing and changing my ideas around. And every time I erased, there was a giant white spot in the midst of gray so I was also like "Holy Crothfield! My paper's white!!" It also looked a lot more detailed in pencil than when it was actually finished strangely.

And when I was coloring I didn't realize there were so many colors I never used like Mint Cream, Deco Orange, Heinna, and also realized some colors look exactly the same as other colors or don't look like the color it is suppose to be. Kind of how like Forest Green and Emerald look exactly the same and Mahogany Red, Tuscan Red, and Heinna look the same even thought the marker wrapper says differently. And the worst one was Brittany Blue which I thought was a smoky blue color but instead was some weird purple blue. EPH!

Random references and trivia about this pic:

-It took three days to do because of taxes, work, problems with my con junk, so in elapsed time, roughly 24 hours and 26 minutes
-The kimono designs were based :iconapricot8585: designs
-Don't remember where the paint grapes came from but it was probably a poster I say
-Lichtenstein styled characters
-"Imagination" is a reference to [link]
-Campbell's Soup is a Warhol reference
-The parody of Kanda's (raven-haired fellow) kimono has a sumi-e style painting in it
-Watch with flies is a Dali reference
-Bunny with the hat is :iconcircus-usagi: 's mascot...thing
-Bunny with the yellow teeth is a reference to the Killer Rabbit
-The pink robot is a reference to Big Daddy (BioShock) and Flaming Lip's Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots
-The two speech bubbles on the top are references to T-Shirts I saw (the Breastfeed one is a parody of "Obey Gravity, it's the LAW), the other was literally that shirt.
-The person barfing is me without my glasses on
-Running mushroom is a reference to an enemy of Kirby's in that one N64 game
-System 3 is the paint I use
-The title is a parody of the painting "Ceci N'est Pas Une Pipe"
-Colored with 75 markers (because I have no life, I keep count)
-Waldo is hidden in the picture...or at least his face is.

Read the article that inspi(red) this: [link]

And for lazy people who don't want to read the stuff above: this deviation (that's not really a deviation) is an homage to stuff I like or liked...or don't really know about drawn in my bizarre fascination of cramming junk on a 8.5x11 piece of paper and trying to topple it a few weeks later with an even more detailed picture

First five people to find Waldo, note me and win a prize of of one request of art...YAY! It's over...but you can still look anyway
People with mad Waldo searching skills...and someone I felt sorry for

If a Crotchfield monster barged in my house, bit me, and made me explode in an orgy of ketchup packets, I'd be glad I played Brawl for five minutes.
