I got inspired for this from some conversations on here about the nature of the relationship between Wilt and Jordan Michaels OUTSIDE of the basketball court, in which I see Wilt's role as that of an adult male mentor/father figure/role model, whatever you want to call it. That would probably have including Wilt teaching his boy about responsibilities and priorities, like how if you wanna be discovered by NBA scouts, you have to get to college, and to make it to college, you have to graduate from high school. If you want to make it to high school, you gotta get through middle school, and to get to middle school, you gotta pass the third grade, and THAT means getting your homework done, and done RIGHT, like it or not. Jordan's just not too happy at the moment that his mean ole' Imaginary Friend, whom he created to help him learn to play basketball, won't even let him near the court until that homework is done, no if's and's or but's! Of course, we know that later on, he'll really appreciate Wilt's "tough love".
I did this in cheap Rose Art markers and watercolor pencils while at work. It is my first attempt at drawing Jordan, as either a kid or an adult, and my first fanart with pre-amputee, un-broken Wilt, as he was created.
