- Braite, with a can of mountain-dew-like soda! yahoo!
- Dulce et decorum est - Happy Armistice Day.
- Drawn from the actual thing. Gee...either this has been happening too often in my neighborhood or I was dreadfully ignorant of what went on here before having to walk to work.
- Killing time, waiting for paint to dry on a big commission... so I mouse-coloured this pen-and-ink drawing in Photoshop while I wait. A greyhound palace guard, in a different sort of style for me.
- Practice with a #2 pencil and a smudge stick. Reducing the file size also reduced an obscene amount of the detail, even though this file is still rather large. I'm not entirely sure of her species... a deer/mountain sheep morph, perhaps?
- Raide Siane, Rad... my favorite Utahraptor running off with the last piece of turkey... even after she ate all the rest! Paint marker on acetate for a wallpaper and calendar print. :)
- nothing more to say.
- Is it better to rein in Hell then serve in Heaven? Is there any point to rule if it serves no purpose? Is there any joy in serving a mind that is never your own?
- An abstraction in figure/form/line- experimentation with such things tend to heighten the artistic senses: I recommend many try it- the end result does not have to look like anything so long as the piece speaks to you.
- I returned to the old pencil techniques just to get something out of my system. 2H pencil with 2B dark accents on medium texture drawing paper. Originally- the pose was upside-down; if you can't guess why I turned it up like this- don't ask.
