I suppose you stupid heroes want some sort of funny story here. Well, you ain't getting one. That's right. Get back to your dumb game. Maybe one day you will get off your butt and find the real world. Like I care. Go away.Yup, he's a mean one. When I was approaching the idea of creating three new power cards for Christmas, I had to think outside the norm. We already had so many cheery cards for the season, I felt we needed to pay tribute to one of Christmas's most notorious villains....the Grinch. Now, I didn't want to just draw The Grinch, that would be lazy....and we might infringe on some small copyrights....so I decided to blend two infamous grinchy characters. Grumpy Cat became Grinchy Cat. And, mixing the two was not a good idea. Whereas the Grinch grows a bigger heart at just the right moment, Grumpy Cats grumpiness canceled that out. Not only does he throw away the toys, he steps all over several of the Holiday's most favorite fluffy stories. Why is this a defensive card? You know how grouchy people keep others away, well the same principle. His supreme grinchiness makes even the most dastardly villains keep their distance.
About the art. I've already touched on the inspirations. I took Grumpy Cat and turned him into The Grinch. It was rather easy. The grump of the cat gave me all the facial expression I needed. Coloration was the hardest part. For this piece I went with a cartoony look to pay homage to the cartoon background of The Grinch. That pretty much sums it up.
Now, I hope you enjoy the card, if you didn't....he doesn't care.
