Mostly Harmless — Description
Arthur: What? Harmless? Is that all it's got to say? Harmless? One word!
Ford: Well there are a hundred million stars in the Galaxy, and only a limited amount of space in the book's microprocessors, and no one knew much about the Earth, of course.
Arthur: Well for God's sake, I hope you managed to rectify that a bit.
Ford: Oh yes, well, I managed to transmit a new entry off to the editor. He had to trim it a bit, but it's still an improvement.
Arthur: And what does it say now?
Ford: Mostly Harmless.

So I really like the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...I mean REALLY like it.
So much so in fact that were I able to pick up a copy for myself, that being the real Guide from the Ursa Minor B Publishing Corporation, I could [and would] die a very happy, and knowledgable man.

Hell I even write my own guide entries, which seems to go over well with the people I write them for...
If you're interested let me know, I'd be happy to let you skim over them, or even write one for you...Seriously I have 29 written.

Regardless, this is my interpretation of Arthur Dent and Ford Prefect. Notwithstanding that I quite love their film counterparts [especially Mos Def], I wanted to go for my own designs, and I think I succeeded, especially with Ford there.
I showed this to a friend earlier and he told me, and I agree with him, that Ford's expression is the best thing about the drawing.
Its got one of those, "Hey, shit Happens. Try some of this food that may not settle with your physiology!" looks on his face.
And well that just seems like something ford would say, doesn't it?
Yes I think so.

I may expand on this later...I was considering putting a Vogon, or even Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz in there...but who knows...it may mess up the flow...

Please enjoy.
