faces of meth.jpg

I get a lot of questions about what Frank would look like if he were “normal,” and while I’m not exactly sure what that means, I’m assuming maybe they want to know what he would look like if he was like…healthy? I’d say “not a crystal meth addict,” but I think a lot of Frank’s…Franky-ness has more to do with his upbringing and general family and genetic history than drugs, although being a tweaker probably doesn’t help.

Anyway, I’ve tried drawing a “normal” dogfrank, but he still ends up looking weird because he’s still a giant hairless wrinkly dogthing. But here is a “normal” humanfrank. Even healthy, he’s still not a great looking dude. With a healthier skin tone his piebald features are more obvious, and without his sunken cheeks and premature face wrinkles he kinda looks like he’s 12 due to his weak chin. I thought about giving him a five o’clock shadow to make him look older, but let’s be honest - Frank probably can’t grow more than a wispy pedostache. Not sure why I changed his haircut, I guess I just wanted to see what he’d look like without the mohawk.

here is another one of these things

I like the way Frank’s design looks here, although I think he looks a little too cartoony in comparison to the other characters

usually I try to avoid giving my characters overly animal-like mannerisms and try to keep the animal traits limited to physical appearance, but with some characters certain things just kind of work.

Like Marty. I imagine that when Marty is working, he wraps his little possum tail around the leg of the stool so that he can lean further forward without falling off, seeing as he’s a little dude and his feet don’t touch the ground when he’s sitting. He probably also uses it to hang from trees and do other hillbilly possum things.
