Indeed, that is a very good drawing as we've come to expect from you. You really need to make a group picture with all them together; maybe have all them imposes that may mimic commercial art from the RGB animated series.

I would love to see the final result; or anything else from the Flip-side universe still have that yet you had not shown

Awesome! I love your take on him. The pose, the expression, the skeletal features etc are all done so well.

That is just an absolutely amazing job, man. Keep up the great work. I cant wait to see him colored.

Excellent work Baltivac! I think this one is my favorite! It's like you took the original Flipside Egon, and just twisted him ten-fold. I love how you made a little character out of his rat-tail; very fiendish. I also love how the pack resembles moreso the proton-packs, as opposed to the “slime-blowers.” The detail work is again very eye-catching, and you nailed the pose & expression. …My only critique is that the lower-torso looks a bit too cartoony. Like something from Looney Tunes. The legs are too curvy & the shoes a bit too clown-ish, although I do like the exagerration. I just would like to see more skeletal structure in the legs, & more detail in that region. Overall though, this is definitely my favorite of the four. It's like a masterful blend of the original artwork & your own imagination.

These are all really great. Any chance of putting them all into one image? That would look seriously sweet. Maybe on the street of their world, in a comparable stance to an RGB promo shot.

Not to nitpick, but that actually is a part of the character design in RGB. He has that rat tail in the cartoon.

Aye, I remember him having a sort of tentacle-esque rat-tail in the episode that squirmed about, but I don't recall the drooling fangs. Either way, it looks very cool.

More Incredible work. I cannot wait to see more. I would actually like to see your take on some of the more famous ghosts from the show, like Samhain or the BoogieMan.

Agreed, I would love to see you draw Samhuinne

Thanks for the compliments guys!

I actually thought about combining all four drawings into one image, with maybe the Firehouse in the back. When I get a few hours to spare – and a few dollars to blow on a Wacom – I'll put something together.

Someone mentioned the rattail thing – I didn't invent that, I stole it from the cartoon. I might have added the fangs. I do wish I had thrown a couple flies buzzing around his head…

Someone else mentioned the cartooniness of his legs. Yeah, his lower half is super cartoony, which is probably why I enjoyed drawing this one the most. It felt the most like something I would normally draw, like I wasn't “trying” to draw something, if that makes sense. Egon flowed really easily. I think all four of these Peoplebusters ended up being drawn in slightly different styles, and this one was definitely my own natural style. Maybe I'll tackle Janine next (though I had an idea for Slimer that I may doodle one night).

Someone else asked if I had done any of the other ghosts. I drew and posted a colored Samhain a couple months ago. A quick search of the forum ought to turn him up. I also have a drawing of Bug Eye around here somewhere and I might even have a sketch of the Boogieman… I'll scan some other stuff later and do a “Ghosts of Ghostbusters” thread.

If only I was as good at building props as I am at drawing cartoon ghosts.
