Happy St. Patrick’s Day! ☘️ 🇮🇪💚🤍🧡
This year I drew jolly ol’ Arthur wheeling a wheelbarrow full of lucky shamrocks. Drew him in his old farm clothes before he was forced into the army. His favorite part of farming was gardening. He would of been glad to give anyone gardening tips.😁
Here’s some drawings that I did a while back of my OC, Arthur McBride. The cartoon with his name as the title was the first cartoon that I stuck with for years. My style for these characters used to be different years ago, but I think this midcentury modern one was an improvement.
Anyway, this series was based on an actual Irish folk song about a man named Arthur McBride and his cousin who are confronted by a Sergeant of The British Army who ended up trying to force them to enlist. The song ended with a cliffhanger, but I thought hey, what if The Sergeant did end up forcing them into the Army and then Arthur tries to get The Sergeant to boot him out by driving him insane.😆 I then ended up adding a couple more friends for him, a rival, and added more to the stories as well. I originally had them in an all cartoon animal universe, but then I changed it, and now there are humans in the universe as well.
