A little something I put together for SwissYosh, a pal of mine from Twitter and Discord. We had spoken a number of times about getting something finished for him but thing after thing just prevented me from finishing it. It was a recolor/retrofit of a base I had, but I still felt a bit guilty I didn't finish it, I still desired to make sure something new was done; that's what I wanted to do more for him rather than yet another reuse of my old art.
For the most part, I'm happy with how this came out, but there are days where I feel on my game and days where I feel like I struggle to draw even when I've drawn Yoshis for so many years; it felt like the latter this time around. I also couldn't quite get the pose the way I wanted, I wanted him to hold the flag with both handpaws but could only manage the one. Maybe next time! I also wanted to make the flag a checkered one, since Swiss is very much into Mario Kart, but I didn't sketch that out previously, and didn't want to wing it freely in Paint.NET, so I took the opportunity to make it the flag of Switzerland, which is where he's from and holds in pretty high regard. He loves where he's from and I give him my respect for that. 😃
Anyway, that's about it for this one, thanks for looking!
Happy birthday! Have a wonderful time! Joyeux anniversaire! Passez un bon moment!
