I was attending a comic convention where the theme was pirates, and I originally was going to draw Captain Jack Sparrow running from a bunch of natives as seen in one of the “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies. But when I did a rough sketch, I felt I was bringing nothing to the scene. I just didn’t want to recreate the scene, I wanted to add my sense of humor to the drawing.
So, I nixed the natives in favor of characters that Johnny Depp has played on screen. Now these characters would be after Jack Sparrow. I decided on Willy Wonka, Raoul Duke, the Mad Hatter, Rango, Tonto, Edward Scissorhands, and Barnabas Collins. I added a small nod to each film by having the character holding an object pertaining to the film they were in. Except of course Edward Scissorhands who isn’t holding anything.
The final product turned out rather well in my own biased opinion.
