Description

Companion piece to Gaz's Ice Queen, and finding the song for this one probably ripped part of my heart out in the process.

Unlike Gaz, I don't really like drawing Dib when he's older, as there is way too much room for error. It's too tempting to take a young character and overdo their appearance when they age, so I can't. So whenever I end up drawing Dib older, I tend to skip right past teenage and straight to adulthood, like here. As his hair gets more extreme as he ages, so I applied it to the rest of his hair instead of just his spike. If Dib's hair was spiky before, now its like a bed of thorns.
Also the idea of Dib with a melee weapon was laughable, so he gets guns.

By the way, I highly recommend listening to the song referenced here. Its actually quite sad and fits him very well. It also featured into the video game, Red Dead Redemption.

Do not own character or song obviously.

And I just noticed that Dib is crying.

CURSE YOU FEELS, CURSE YOUUUUUUUUUU!

(Now I want to cry...)
