Good work everyone!
Complexfruit: I love the faces in your illustration!
Eskema: Very detailed! Looks like you're really pushing yourself!seeing al your work really wants me to work on mine, I'll probably scan it in tonight - maybe I'll start coloring it and post it here.

- Eskema, I estimate that you will need to put aside a further 14 years to complete this. It looks like my wolf of the other day. Took FOREVER.Spookytim
- I'm estimating the end of the week if I'm not too busy at work... but I will not give up. no sir. I will finish what I startedESKEMA
- Is the texture all digital eskema?Complexfruit

I just wish I could find time to draw more instead of keep getting commissioned to do computer-based stuff that I hate.
Have I said this before?
Its just that I had this enormous easel built for my studio last year and everytime I walk towards it the phone rings and a nasal voice says "Can you do us a bit of bling please for a bag of money" and I go... Oh, oaky dokey then.
Its like the mythical Tantalus reborn as an easel. Its there for me, enticing me to play with it, but when I reach for it, it retracts beyond my reach. A bit like my penis.
Did I type that last bit, or just think it... ?

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.

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.

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.

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
