Bernie Ecclestone Character Sketch

This is actually the second version of Bernie I've drawn. I originally had him riding a bizarre scooter/giant watering can contraption, but it just looked too ridiculous - even for 'Crazy Bernie'!

I have still managed to come up with something imaginary, but this time it feels a little more in keeping with what I originally had envisaged. Plus I've inadvertently produced something which will be easy to implement into the game when this character is converted into a top-down perspective - the minimum I need do is display a white fluffy cloud moving around the scene and producing water puddles on the track. What can I say... I loved Care Bears as a kid.

This more-detailed image of Bernie will eventually end up at the front end, either as part of the game instructions or race introductory material.

I hope people like the advertising banner I've incorporated. I think its my personal grievance coming out over the fact that he took away half my BBC TV coverage and sold the rights to SKY. "Believe in Better" - Yeah I used to once, Bernie. Damn you.

Oh, just in case you were curious, here is the unfinished 'watering can' first draft. Ironically, it was canned.
