Row of Bravado

One of my favorite Rotten School spreads was this scene with Bernie Bridges bringing his very pathetic football squad into a huddle. It was fun assigning specific numbers that had hidden meaning to the players (for Jennifer Ecch - in another scene, she was a weight-reflective 125 - as in lbs.). One such number in particular was the bench-warming character "Nosebleed," who always gets nosebleeds. We gave him the number "O+." As in O positive... I also love how Feenman's helmet is never on the correct way - facing forward!

Watercolor for these was always done in Painter with a variety of spatter water brushes, colored pencils for touch-ups, and simple air brush tips.
