Tribute to Walkazo: Community Drawing (sign-ups available)

Striker Mario said:
I've had this in mind, but I think I should say it: I have plans to make a drawing commemorating Walkazo. It will be a tribute to our late bureaucrat, Walkazo. It's going to have us in the drawing gathering around and a portrait of Walkazo's personal character above us. Once I'm done, we can present it to Walkazo's family members, who are hit the hardest.

If you like to be part of the picture, then say so and please provide a good description of your character that represents you.

Not sure what the deadline will be, but I'll determine a point where I'll start drawing if enough people agree to it.

I'll give around a week or two, but if you run a bit late, don't worry.

Rough deadline: Sunday April 3 11:59 (Pacific Time), 2016.

Additional ideas are welcome.

My personal ideas
*Have a flock of common grackles, Walkazo's favorite bird, fly in the sky. Maybe put Poochy soaring through the sky as well.
*Include some wiki in-jokes like Pink Donkey Kong Jr. and Pirate Goomba among us, mourning.

Thanks everyone.

I'm very sorry and I don't mean to be rude but I don't think I've been included in the sign up list.
 
Don't sweat it; I appreciate that. My ADHD gave in and I left you out. Nice catch. The list should be adjusted accordingly.
 
That's a great idea!!

I would like to be part of it. You can draw me like Ludwig von Koopa. I will really appreciate it. :)
 
Thanks!

I just need a good reference image for Walkazo. Right now, I'm going to be working off on merely her avatar image and image in her userpage. More references will be highly appreciated!
 
Probably ninja'd freakworld but why not put Godzilla in the background. If you don't understand check FW's sig which contains said Walkazo quote about godzilla. It'd certainly fit in... I hope.

Hell, I think we should feature this in Palette Swap or somewhere in next issue of The Shroom.

I think this should be feature on the main page of the next issue. Like how it was in July 2015 (issue 100) with Satoru Iwata...
 
When's the next issue going to be released?

I figured this is going to be a lot of work once I get started, and I don't want to rush something that I want to pour my full thoughts, love, and effort into it.

Yes, I'll put Godzilla somewhere. Not sure if I should make him supernatural or not, since Walkazo's an atheist.
