I've been wanting to do Calvin and Hobbes themed nails for a while now. I bought several Calvin and Hobbes comic books at an amazingly inexpensive bookstore in Toronto, and they quickly became my favourite thing to read for a quick pick-me-up. Makes me think how much less boring it would be being an adult if I just had a stuffed tiger.
The hard part was making a design that would show their friendship; something the comics express so plainly. I settled on this simple design with a simple message in mind: where some may see a stuffed tiger, Calvin sees his best friend.

I love how these turned out and I get happy when I look down at my fingers. These are probably not the last Calvin and Hobbes themed nails from me. Hoped you enjoyed this!
Love it :)
ReplyDeleteWoohoo!! Calvin and Hobbes!!! One of my favourites to read as well! So glad you attempted this. I can see why you feel that way, even I too would just smile seeing these on my nails. Haha!! They are such a good pair! The artist made Hobbes so lively that sometimes I'd forget Hobbes is actually a stuffed animal. And Calvin always have fun imaginations ! :D
ReplyDeleteAhaha thank you, I'm happy you liked this! I like to believe that Hobbes is actually real, but only Calvin can see his real form xD I totally agree, you can't help but be carried away along with Calvin's imagination haha!
