Mighty Boosh sketches and prelim

I am a huge Mighty Boosh fan, and really idolize Noel and Julian. They're an amazing creative team: Noel creates the imagery and Julian writes the music and they write the show together. They also both have really interesting, but very different faces: below is a page from my sketchbook featuring a few studies of Noel and some other random things.

Here's a bigger view of the same scan - I'm not much for caricature, but I was trying to make a sort of cartoon style by simplifying the shapes of his face.

And here's a snapshot of a work in progress - a dual portrait of Julian and Noel as their main characters from the show, Howard Moon (jazz maverick) and Vince Noir (electro ponce) in their costumes from the first series. It's vector and designed to be a large print - I plan on incorporating some graphic elements from the show as well.
