Sometimes I see a goofy pose on a pulp novel cover that sets off my urge to steal it for the purpose of drawing some incredibly dumb Zerhys. (using Zer0′s bl2 design because tbh I just like it better)
This one is referenced from George Erickson’s cover to the 1960s novel “Like Wild” which is undoubtedly complete trash but dang it’s a fun stupid illustration. 

Anyways I get why people see Zer0 as kind of distant in their affection but tbh they sure seem to do a lot of over-the-top stuff for the sake of getting attention and also they’re a massive dork.
I picture them as being like that kind of asshole cat that goes from doing their own thing to NEEDING attention right now this goddamn instant, whatever you’re trying to do be damned (Zer0′s kind of extra obnoxious about it because they think it’s funny)

I might paint this later. We’ll see.
