First Faces of the FBA - Darnell Loewenby ~Rhandi-Mask

Anthro / Digital Media / Drawings

Meet Darnell Loewen, first franchise player of the Newark Pride.

Born and raised in west Philadelphia, he spent most of his days on the playground. In his youth, he rejected the idea of taking over the family restaurant (a steak and hoagie dive) and pursued a career in sports.

During a time when blowout styles were popular among lions, his short, permed mane and mutton chops gave him a distinct look that made him stand out among his fellow cats (though it probably made him stand out, regardless). That, in combination with a confident nature, amazing court sense, and the way he'd seemingly glide past his opponents (As one spectator put it, "Darnell don't run, he flies.") made him a fan favorite and netted him countless endorsements, most notably his face on a box of Meaties® breakfast bites - "Bring Out The Predator in You!"™

In the end, he ended up taking over the family business upon retirement. He regrets nothing.

Hey, Mr. Loewen! Anything you'd like to say to all the people out there?

"Real cheesesteaks come from Philly. Anything else? Maaaan, that ain't nothin' but a steak sandwich."

I am inclined to agree. East coast represent.

damn this looks awesome I love the old school look mixed with Dr.J and Bill Russell,Abdul Jabbar and Wilt Chamberlain.

It's hard to make a fro look right on an anthropomprphic character, and you did a really, really good job on that. I love his retro design along with those retro background colors.

I definitely dig the retro Kareem Abdul Jabbar/Wilt Chamberlain look.

LOOL! I love it, it looks just like some of my dad's old basketball cards! So retro. And it's a good thing he didn't get in no fights and his moms gets scared, otherwise he'd be movin' with his auntie and uncle to Bel-Air!
