Matt started starting at the girl. Why? Clearly the fact that you can solve for bound state energies and tunneling effects of a quantum system using a semi-classical approximation is of much more interest than a half-naked girl, right? Then again, experts do recommend connecting things you need to remember to things that evoke a strong mental response...

Skirts

From ref. Original stock image by expressive-stock at DA.

Skirt fiddlybits are entertaining and maddening to draw.

Eccentrica Gallumbits

More of the latest set, posted now that I have access to my scanner proper.

While neither a prostitute nor an extraterrestrial, this girl's image made the words "Eccentrica Gallumbits, the triple-breasted whore of Eroticon 6" pop into my head frequently.

St. Francis of Partia

My parents brought me along to church for the first time in ages, and we sat behind these two little twin girls working on Catholic coloring books. One of the two worked strictly by the books; finish each picture to the letter and be done with it. The other started drawing kitties and things and eventually drew a pretty rocking party hat on St. Francis. The above is my homage to that girl's masterwork.

Panties!

Always fun, always exciting: panties.

Of Thermodynamics and Japanese

A taste of my note-taking skills.

Above you see the formula for the change in Gibbs free energy, and below, a nude woman.

I intended to have a table for him to prop his leg on, but as things went on, I rather absentmindedly forgot.

It's big head office woman!

Robot Love

Because robot love is the only pure love.

Thy Nakedness

Evidently the robot covets her nakedness.

Rabbits of Deadly Persuasions

Truly a boring page. Drawn while at work, mostly.

This page is even more boring, and the girl's proportions are insanely out of whack. Just look at that foot!

Sure, at home I'll compute your commutation relations, solve portions of the hydrogen atom, and manipulate operators until the cows come home. But in class, when everyone gathers to do work, I doodle.

イアフォン

Done in Japanese. Just a sketch, but the line work was fun. The kana say "eeafon," which actually comes on iPod earbud headphone packages (eeafone = "earphone" = earbud headphones).

A Sexy One

Not new, sure, but its held its own for three years. So purdy and yet never scanned! The picture came about during a crosshatchery period.

Floating on Air

How on earth did I get from drawing pictures of superheroes as a kid, anime as a young teen, realism in my later teens, and then this indescribable whatsit?

5 years

The difference years make! The speedpaint below I probably did in a few hours. I did it to commemorate the purchasing of my Aiptek tablet, which at the time looked like it would make godly pictures because of its huge size. However, when you drew a line diagonally across the screen with a ruler guiding the pen, it wiggled back and forth. Moronically, the designers had never bothered to make sure the vertical and horizontal motion recognition worked syncronously.


As you can see, this piece made me struggle enough that even the eyes got shafted.

A year or so later, armed with a Wacom graphire, I took another go at fixing it. This one came about as a direct paintover. Probably an hour's work because all of the base "structure" existed.

Completed naught but 10 minutes ago (5 years after the original), 4 in about 1 hour and 10 minutes. Clearly the anatomy still sucks balls because I haven't done proper anatomical studies, but at least I've made some progress, right?
Drawn with a Wacom Intuos 9x12 and Blujarr's brushes.

Robots Get No Love

She just told him, "I'm sorry. I thought I could, but I just can't love a robot like that."

Scribblin' somethin' furious

The requisite "draw yourself drawing yourself" picture. Much bigger on page, but the upper half is utterly worthless.

Discus Throwers

More referenced stuff.

Anti-Harpsichord Propaganda

Drawn for Laura to decorate her wall.

Rabbit on a String

The rabbit makes up for the rest of this horrid page of sketches. The style flies all over the place, Ms. Accidental Drag Queen returns, and the officer clearly falls apart below the face (and the face doesn't hold it together at all). Sigh.

They don't know what the Jazz is all about!

My new sketchbook's cover. The tragic robot just had to get some jazz.

It's pronounced "Grand-wah-zee"

First page of my new sketchbook. Ordinarily I would draw something epic and smashing on the first page, but this set of robots, barrel monkeys, tails, ripoffs of Tonberry, "shooting" stars, cheese animals, and half naked literate women in glasses really sets the tone more properly. Grandiose subjects need not apply.

Finished!

Holy crap, I actually finished a full sized sketchbook! Woo!

3 refs and two... whatsits.

A skeleton wailing on a flying V with flames in the background and some woman on the ground around his leg. As suggested by Sarah.

Bring that Beat Back
