jasonturner is the winner of the impromptu "Make Skinner draw something" contest. Thanks also to tedprior and zombichicken for playing - you guys were basically correct but Jason was more accurate. It's a character from Asterix the Gladiator: Gaius Nesenius, the prefect of Gaul who captures the Cacofonix the bard and presents him to Julius Caesar as a gift.
I was hoping Alexandre would comment so as to positively identify who this was a caricature of. He thinks it was of Rene Goscinny himself - Wikipedia seems to support this.
So, the plan is for the drawing either today or tomorrow to be Jason's request - depending on when I get it..
EDIT: Blaaaaargh! Why you guys gotta come up with right answers after I post the winner?! It makes me feel all bad inside. wilburonline just commented with a more exact answer than Jason.
*sigh* Fine. Jason gets first request, Wilbur gets second request. Both will be completed. (Hey, at least I'm drawing!) But as of now that's it. Maybe next week I'll throw another one out for the fun of it.
