Human O&M look kind of cute, they do look very much the same. Grownup O&M look not-cute. Good thing it's experimental :smile:

I like O&M drawn as humans. It makes them seem much less likely to encounter completely absurd stuff (like couch pirates and disappearing tables).

I've always been curious how Ozy and Millie would look like if they were drawn as humans. I like how they turned out.

Gah! Grown-up Ozy has scary eyes :shock:

Really, they're grown-up version? I saw them as "more realistic" version. And although Ozy looks weird (his hat is straid but his eyes are at an angle so it makes him looke... weird), I have to say I really like how millie turned out.

They're also both great as humans, but I'd see it more as another strip having them as minor characters as a reference or a "guest appearance" than completely changing. It's a keeper, though, has someone asked for the original yet? How much would you sell it for? (if you're selling it, of course).

It's more than just Ozy & Millie as humans. This is what they'd look like in the dimension inhabited by Florence Ambrose! ;)

I'm actually more interested in the anthromorphic images. They're captivating, especially Millie.

He had them. We just don't see them except in close-ups.

DCS said long ago that he tried making the characters human. He described Millie as "halfway decent" and Ozy as "extremely difficult" to get right. Of course, he's come a ways since. But I'm sure he wouldn't even attempt a human Llewellyn. (Why bother?)

I'm really glad these are STRICTLY experimental. Tho the realistic Millie looks nice, the humans are bleh. And Ozy's eyes are crooked in the middle drawing.

Cameron is awesome because:
-Because he has an artistic style that is both complex and minimalist. This is profound!
-He once drew me as a roadrunner. It was an actual honest to god feral roadrunner, but a roadrunner nonetheless!
-He lives in Idaho among the wilderness and stuff and I envy him for that. 3:
-He is probably one of the most personable artists on here.
-I think he's the only one of us on here who drew a fanart that made it as a guest strip on O&M. This is an accomplishment!

Zomg humans!!!!11 Cough.
Anyway the enhanced realism versions look great! Especially Millie, although she does looks slightly fierce!

I know this is all experimental but I wouldn't mind seeing renditions of the other characters in a similar style.

Whatev. This is probably my favourite sketch thus far; I've always wanted to see how David would draw O&M as hyumans, and I rather think they look quite nice \:D/

Not 'grown up', a style experimentation. Meant to be the same, just interpreted differently :P

Human Ozy and Millie seem very similar...almost like they're related. GAH! :shock: My brain's on fire with that thought!!! I need a fire extinguisher!!! :!:

The more realistic Ozy and Millie is just super! 8)
