Yeah, you never see Shuckle smile, you know? I figured he deserved a nice day out on the beach with a cold glass of Shuckle juice! :P
I've gotten some funny reviews on it, tho. :P I love it when they ask me if it's actually made with REAL shuckles, lol!!!
And to LL: Yeah, it was a quickie. I didn't even spend thirty mins. on it. All I did to the shuckle sprite was change his face a little, and the mug didn't take too long to draw (I'm a whiz at drawing glass containers in realism art, btw, so sprite ones are even easier). The shadows weren't too bad either. The sand, I just putzed around with the curve tool, and for the lettering, I cheated and used Microsoft Word Art. :P Just pasted it in there, lol. The frame on the right was really easy. I just drew kind of a picture frame, did the border, and then for the inside, I made rectangles of gradually darkening blues toward the border, then filled 'em in. Not too hard. It was just kind of a doodler I did while I had nothing to do at work. ^_~
