Such a tiny concentration of power

Dark, innit? Looked lighter on a gray background... oh well.

Random GD-ness, not much to say -- a failed experiment in the use of light, I guess?
I... I am not bold enough. ;_;

Problem with dark-on-dark... there's no silhouette. Hmm.
Fail, fail, fail, fail, fail, fail, fail, fail...

Something moody in black and white

My brain is melting. Composition is neat, due to "darn, can't fit the face there... oh well."

Fan-art, for those who know --- and most should. Quite crappy, and there's my usual anatomy problems popping up with the fingers, but let's see how well YOU draw when it's your brain that's melting! Hmph!

looks sorta Clone.Manga-ish. ( excellent artwork there, might be NSFW, depending what you're reading. )

By the way, I just discovered Invader Zim. Oh dear.

Old Stuff #9: Sometimes, women are from Mars.

Ahh... designing the Elder Senshi.
That... is probably the first take on Elder Mars... or I just named a random sketch as such. Or possibly, Ben went and said "This one looks like Mars."

...He probably didn't, considering who Mars is based on.



In any case, here's some more sketchy. Mars still doesn't have her hair here, but it's the correct length, more or less. I'm already thinking that Mars needs armor, clearly.

As a bonus, we also have Mercury here. nice and dynamic, damn the proportions, full speed ahead!

Poor Mars, her shoulder looks dislocated. Maybe that's why her face is so wide.


And here... the hair is wrong - looks like a mature Terra quite a bit - so maybe Mars always had a somewhat similar look...

Although Terra didn't have spiky hair at this point, I think! So it's Terra mimicing Mars, then!

...Well, copying others is what she does best, actually.

The costume is all wrong, but it's nice and dynamic.


Here's a view from the back. The only reason we know this is Mars, is because she has the shield and the... well, it's supposed to be a Gladius.

I think the arms are bent back a bit too much here, but all in all it's quite nice.

Really!



Yet another picture. This one looks like it has almost the right hair, and has an armored gauntlet. Different than what we went with - maybe because it isn't as obvious that it's armor. Missing the bow from back of the skirt.


And here's all we've seen of her in the line comic. I like the line down her boots.
I constantly need to self-reference for various details, and sometimes I get it wrong. However, I've explicitly denied having any consistency so it's all good! Or maybe not.

I used to habitually draw the bows in front too small, and forget the ones on the back. Maybe the Elder Inner Senshi designs just don't have them?

...Seeing as how Chibi-Saturn -- who isn't the best character to refer to, admittedly -- has one.

Extra! Extra! I'm just an Extra!

Blah hands, very flat... I liked the cleanliness of the lines so much I didn't want to put in too much shading, so it doesn't look very good. But hey, there's soem background! That's always awesome! The costume design is verymuch work-in-progress.

Oh, and SHE HAS NO NECK!

Chibi-terra would like to apologize for the lack of Arbyfish.

...Is it just me, or are all my hair styles starting to look the same?

In any case, I'm staring at the Glen Keane speech thingy and generally still in animation-mode. Haven't animated anything yet. There's this huge mental block there... Not as huge as the one blocking me from working on the comic gets from time to time, but nevertheless, at least one size category larger, so it gets +4 on grapple checks.

Doodling #5 - Requiem for a Pen

...So the pen I used for these doodles died.

I guess we'll return back to our scheduled programming shortly. That doesn't mean anything.

Majority of this is me explaining how the GD's head works. Basically the petal-spike-thingies are somewhat mobile in and as themselves, and the mouth has some... configurability, as well. I believe each fang is actually mounted on a separate leg. the "teeth" showing with it's mouth closed are actually chitinous plates and... and I'm out of thought.

That reminds me, pages 17-18 of chapter 1 show how the GD is getting smaller... it's rougly ten times larger than the space worm-thing it eats first, and afterwards it's still huge compared to the ocular spider... after which it's HEAD is still roughly the size of an oozaru, which are, as you know, not... not very small.

All this just to make it fit, somehow reasonably, into frames together with Queen Serenity, and it's still probably too small here. Oh, well.

Doodling #4 - in train on way back

...TOTAL randomness!
Not much to say. Um. I like the ^_^

Things:

• Animation - Plastic Animation Paper
• D and D - grappling rules are argh. WoW is evil waste of time, unlike DnD. So there.
• Linux - Ubuntu, of course, but I also like DSL, and Zenwalk.
  
• ReactOS is not mature
• Vista... is not completely horrible. You can change display drivers without rebooting... Which would seem to hint that it runs on a microkernel FWIW.
• Gunnerkrigg Court
• Guardians of Order Fan Forums

In the future... there are things....

doodling #3 / to be continued

Randomness...
First of all, pci=nommconf. That's kinda important, trust me.
In other news, Vista is pretty, but pointless, and ReactOS is not mature enough.
Why does 'Vista' pass spell-check, though... I'll never know.

In any case, no good reason. Five out of Nine.

Once again, I seem to be looking for something, without knowing what it is. I am finding something in the black-and-white line - it forces a discipline on me... or something. I haven't reached it, yet, though.

Perhaps it's the quality I was at, back when I posted stuff on the old forums. I liked those quite a bit, actually. This, for an example---
Which reminds me, floating PHP is scary... one can never be sure where that will point in the future.

Oh, and... I'll upload all of Something2006 after I can be sure they don't contain any more spoilers.

I'm kinda picky when it comes to spoilers. Such an annoying character trait.
