Artist's Comments

Holy crap, I actually have a picture done in time for the said holiday!!!

I've been finally getting back into drawing all my characters, and here I present to you bouncy, quick-witted Jonathan Hemlich (I'll get into him later, incase you guys don't remember him, but you can read a brief description of him at
:thumb471222: YES I KNOW THE PICTURE IS HORRENDOUS.)

As you may or may not know, Jon here is Jewish, and the Jewish celebrate Chanukah, which actually starts today! I was just sitting there one day and I came up with this idea, and thought it would be cute. Jonathan, like most of my male characters, seems to have an aura of messing-up about him, and here he demonstrates it, as he turns an easy event of lighting the Menorah into well...well something quite disasterous! I think the Jewish culture is so interesting, so I guess thats what sparked me to draw this drawing, and to help everyone celebrate Chanukah!

Somehow, he managed to light the menorah, his dreidel, and also his yarmulkah on fire. Guess he won't be lighting the menorah next year.... :D

I thought this was a really good picture, and even though I absolutely HATE going over my lines after I colour my drawings, I think it makes my drawings look WAY better...but ARGHHH I just HATE inking!!!! And I'm rather impressed with my Menorah. See, it being an inanimate object, I find those nearly impossible to draw... but with a little time, patience, and references I managed to draw a semi-decent one. It still looks like it's inflatable, but... but it's...still okay I guess. I figured since his dad's a rabbi he should have a good menorah :D And I dunno why the dreidel has a face... I just thought it would add to the cuteness. Hee hee either way I really like how this came out... Poor Jon.. I think he better get to the fire extinquisher instead of standing there wondering what the hell is happening...

Happy Chanukah everybody! :D

Isn't it Haunnaka? Or however you spell it? I know it starts with an H.. lol!!

Aw... Poor Jonathan!! He's so clumsy, but so cute! XD
:iconcalicokatt:
I think it's spelled both ways :) When I looked up Chanukah, it came up just as well too, so I'm not really too sure, I've always spelled it like I did hee hee :)

I don't know the meaning of the word "surrender". I mean, I know it, I'm not dumb... just not in this context.

I'm a doctor, not an escalator.

LOL I thought the dreidel would add a cute-funny factor to the picture, i'm actually impressed that I actually managed to not screw it up, it being an inanimate object and all (well... kinda...) .I'm not sure what the dreidel says, I just took a picture of one and recreated it hee hee :D Thankyou so much!
