I've done a bit of line work on my "Sauce" piece. Her face isn;t right at all - I need to make her eyes bigger and less squinty with more voluptuous lashes and eyeliner, but that's all to come. This is a very basic start on keylining it, I'm not sure ultimately what I'll do with this drawing. Part of me wants to make it weird as hell somehow, and another part of me says "Its a straight up cartoon, just do it and let it be what it is without adding any weird to it"
Hmmm.
- i'd not go too weird with this one, since the showing of her panties is "weird" enoughneverblink
- I'm actually wondering whether to bother going any further with it actually. Might abandon it and start something else.Spookytim
- something with a little more...
fur?neverblink - haha, maybee!!>!>!>!Spookytim

Its just possible that I may be drawing a Harbinger for this round.
- neverblink0
just set up a photobucket.com account..
I think I'm gonna steal Spooky's lady-friend (see above) and give her a nice big moustache for this round..
- That could look pretty cool. Sort of double-take 'wtf' kind of quality to it.Spookytim
- haha.. so you don't mind? wait, I'll give her some colour and put her up in twenty min. or so.neverblink
- The image is on blogger...wonder why she won't link properly?misterhow
- neverblink0
in response to note: so, is that a good thing?
ontopic: I have made a new sketch, inked it, but it will take some time before I get it scanned and colored.. but it's on it's way

I don't know really... ha! ... it wasn't a bad thing in any sense that I was horrified to see a piece of my work defiled or anything like that, not at all, but it was really werid to see a piece of work re-interpreted and handed back looking so familar and yet, just so trippy and unfamilar.
I didn't necessarily 'like' the end result though I don't know quite why, but like I say it didn't offend me to see it.
In a way it highlights what I see as something bad in my own ongoing aesthetic sense. There is a way of drawing, a slant to what I do that is borne of certain elements of myself, my experiences and my upbringing. All of my work, always, is a struggle to rid myself of those inbuilt influences/ control elements and I just can't do it. My work always looks like my work. If I deliberately and wilfully approach my work with the absolute determination to create soemthing (for example) so completely free and wild and loose, it will end up looking like my studied attempt at being free and wild and loose, using the same brain to control the same hands as always. So I am trapped, and I can't escape.
You have interpreted and played this piece back to me as something unfamiliar and not done by my hand at all, and yet within it is the very aesthetic that I fight so hopelessly to remove from my work.
Probably more in-depth than you expected, but there's my answer! I feel like I might throw myself into my favourite canal again once I've finished here.

Oh, and ontopic... I haven't even begun and at this point its doubtful I will I'm sorry to say. I have a mental schedule on at the moment.

Tim, thanks for the write-up.
I can relate to everything you said about having an own aestethic, which can be both enemy and friend at the same time. I've actually fought for a long time against that familiar path my brain likes to take when drawing/designing - trying to not come up with the same thing over and over again - eventually I lost that fight. But looking back I still gained some more freedom in my drawings/designs.
Looking at the differences between our styles, you are much more detailed, where I'm kinda lazy in putting in details and often just go for a big guesture. Differences are good, that's what makes people interesting.
