Kazan has acquired plenty of practice hauling snacks from the fridge to the couch at home. So by the time the county fair starts, he's more than prepared to go around the stands tasting everything that they have to offer!
Corndogs, cotton candy, pretzels, soft serve ice cream, sugary soda, slushies, hotdogs, deep-fried Oreos, triple patty burgers, doughnuts, loaded fries, glazed doughnut-bun chicken sandwiches, funnel cake, turkey legs, caramelized butter popcorn... and that's just the start!!!
It seems like the food vendors need to dramatically increase their stock if they want to keep up with the demand!! Especially since clearly, Kazan is now well over the weight limit for even the sturdiest of rides, so the only thing left to do is to wolf down more food!!
The real question is, what will last longer: the last bite of that hotdog or the poor overstrained shorts? Odds are five to one against the shorts!! Place your bets!!

I had a ton of fun with this one. I tried different belly shapes and configurations aided by the commissioner. I decided to include a bit of whimsy in the background with that food vendor. And I was so satisfied, that it might have inspired a whole different piece by itself! It took me a while to figure out how to draw a Ferris wheel in a way where I didn't spend the next three years placing every spoke and line.
Then I did a deep (fried) dive into the world of fair food, which was far far far more profound than what I anticipated. There is an endless variety and diversity of treats out there!! I was afraid I would have to repeat to many of the foods but if anything I ran out of armspace before I could even scrape the surface!! You guys really like your fair/carnival food!!
And to top it all, as a last off-handed comment about the tarps looking too plain in the last revision of the file, I completely guided by the what-would-happen-if-I-just-put-some-paint-strokes-here principle, I ended up unintendedly discovering how to give circus tarps their texture. I'm a big advocate for using references, but I guess sometimes it is also a-okay to just lay some lines on the canvas and seeing what sticks!
Anyway... there you go! Fatty Kazan! Enjoy!
First commission of February!! Hopefully more to come!! Stay tuned!!

Hehe I love all your theme park and county fair stuff! X3
Still, imagine all the jiggling if he did ride one of the roller coasters. Excellent work!
Oh wow, I didn't realize you went through that much while you were working on this! But yes! Americans definitely know how to pig out when it comes to fair foods hehe...
And I loved the little vignette too! It really helps to set the scene in even more detail X3

I do have to say Tzin, this is amazing work. The effort you put into the background of this fair is wonderful, and the fatty Kazan carrying all of those treats is superbly well done. The creasemarks on the tents, and ferris wheel, and of course your newly beloved food vendor character, you brought this scene to life. Great work, one of your best!
Oh wow Tzin! Watching you work on this piece on stream and then seeing the finished product!!! Man, what an incredible drawing.
It's just incredible to see all the detail you put into all the food. Can't imagine the amount of reference pictures you went through.
As for the ferris wheel, I did notice a few thing here and there in regards to the perspective of it, but it's a very commendable effort. It adds to the ambience and doesn't distract from the focus of the piece.
Very good job!
