FIG PIC: “Tony, You Son Of A Bitch”

I cheated HARD on this background., I know.Shortly after I shot the gotcha for Tiger Claw, pairing him with Tony, during editing, I realized what their forearm and hand shapes reminded me of - the infamous, infinitely-memed, Predator giant arm hand clasp.

And while I was waiting for my photo box replacement to arrive, and had already been annoyed and disappointed by my options when it came to evoking the sort of jungly bar vibe of the scene, Cathy came home from a Goodwill run with a small doll scale tiki hut complete with ceiling fan, and so I just sort of half-assed a back wall and ceiling and ran with it. And depinked all the pink plastic. I may revisit this someday to put more work into it because I do love how their hand-clasp looks, but we’ll see.
