Did this last night at Drink and Draw. Between drawing this and having a Los Angeles Lakers riot going on just 2 blocks from the bar, I had a pretty good time. Even when an ambulance showed up to help a poor schmuck who got hit in the face with a tear gas canister. Also it was fun listening to people who had just came off the streets with tales of douchebags trying to light shit on fire because a basketball team won something.
It really amazes me how people can be so happy or sad hours after a game that they had nothing to do with in the first place. I can understand if you had a shitload of money riding on a game, but even then, when it's over, it's over. Enjoy it, or be sad about it and move on.
I guess it's the same with people who get totally bent out of shape over things like fictional characters in books, TV shows or movies.
It's really about crossing a line between being a fan of something and just being an asshole. Or maybe I'm wrong.

I don't know why I didn't comment/fav this earlier because I saw it a few days ago and I seriously can't stop thinking about the deliciously simple but perfect color scheme and the amaaazing way you treated the skin and textures. I AM INSPIRED and now I feel a million times better since I have gotten that off my chest.
also i agree entirely with your comment on extreme fandom. seriously people get over it.
Also, individuals are intelligent - crowds are stupid. That often explains the puzzling behaviour of sports fans.
