Man, was I ever sick last week. Coughing, flu-like symptoms and sore throat. Combined that left me voiceless for the entire week. You'll never imagine how hard (and funny) it was to try to do my job as an engineering consultant without my voice. Well, most of the week I managed a very raspy sound so that was the funny bit. I swear, you could do standup solely on the basis of a raspy voice. Anyway, I didn't do any uploading because the week was pretty filled with sickness and I was generally groggy from the lozenges I was choking down. It's amazing how some have anasthetic in them that leaves the mouth a numb. I'll file that bit of knowledge somewhere so I can figure out how it's done later. It could become useful.Nevertheless, I did have a backlog of pictures that I had done previously or one or two I did while I was sickly. I was waiting for some photos from a friend so I could do his commission but he was a bit slow so I'll just get these up first. There's more, but I'll get to that later.
Not much I want to say about these pics. The first is a tribute to the gorgeous artist who does Dresden Codak (http://dresdencodak.com/). Unbelievable artwork spanning a huge page that seems to delve into philosophical and scientific ideas that just flies right over my head. It's like Cat and Girl (http://catandgirl.com/) with insanely good art... and a little bit more science. The second and third... I probably did out of boredom trying to actually have something worth uploading. The last was something that came to me about trying to put a little bit more humanity to some of my characters. That means having those little spontaneous poses every now and then and really, it's really quite refreshing to see a girl push her hair back. Hard to explain... sort of makes them more real rather than just standing stiff. It's quite hard to do and I definitely need to work on it.
Anyway there's another post coming up. In it I describe the new era that I shall be embarking on with regards to sketching...
