In the red corner, all the way from Philadelphia, weighing in at 210lbs... The undisputed heavyweight champion of the world, the Italian Stallion himself... ROCKY BALBOA!!!

Just a little something I whipped up for my cousin's birthday since he's a massive Rocky fan, similar to what I did for me Ma on Mother's Day where I drew Mr. Miyagi from The Karate Kid series. (Everyone in my family is actually super into Rocky) Me, I was originally never really into the series until I watched the films with my mum after we finished the Karate Kid series, and I instantly fell in love with the franchise after the first film. (II was just as good as the first, III was even better. IV was goofy but I still enjoyed it. V was mid, but VI made up for it. And I'm also really enjoying what they're doing with "Creed") All I can say is that I'm so glad I got the chance to get into this series, and because of that I found myself a good role model. But anyway, that aside, happy birthday to my cousin :).

I also wanna dedicate this picture to Rocky Balboa himself and his creator; Sylvester Stallone. Thank you for giving us such an amazing character who helped inspire us and teach us to never give up on achieving our goals, and to never stop fighting. Here's to you, you absolute legend. Dance!

I put maximum effort into this. (2 days to be exact)
