But the dragon was probably one of the best ones of the bunch. The odd floating mask is not part of the picture, but it was there and couldn't quite be cropped out. I guess I could have erased it, but nah.<br />
<br />
I'm going to put some links below to some artists whose stuff I've been looking at lately. You can look at them if you like, I'm just doing it so I have somewhere to keep them. They are all tremendous fantasy illustrators whose work I first noticed on Magic cards, but then I used the power of the internet to find more of their stuff.<br />

I wasn't supposed to be drawing, certainly. On the other hand, those occasions when drawing was what I was supposed to be doing have been very few and far between. On the other other hand, on those few and far between occasions when I was supposed to be drawing, I was usually drawing something other than what I was supposed to be drawing. Or sleeping.<br />

It can also be fun to share observations that will only be relevant to a small number of people. For example, I've started getting into chess recently, and I've found that the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirc_Defence" target="_blank">Pirc Defence</a> led to a careful but ultimately successful game, whereas the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruy_Lopez" target="_blank">Spanish Opening</a> led to a total bloodbath. I mean, I'd read about them, but putting them into action really makes the point come home. I guess most things are like that, with the difference between theory and practice and all.<br />
<br />
Lastly, although I'm not usually in the habit of sharing quotes, this one from Berkeley's Three Dialogues really struck me today: "Truth and beauty are in this alike, that the strictest survey sets them both off to advantage; while the false lustre of error and disguise cannot endure being reviewed, or too nearly inspected."<br />
<br />
That's all the varied and unrelated things I have to share today. Go share some of your own stuff.<br />

The first one I roughed with the marker and then tightened up the drawing with the black ink. The second one was the more traditional pencil, then ink, erase the pencil, photocopy the ink, then marker. Looking at them side by side, I note the pitfall of the "default pose". I mean, they're not identical, but they're close enough that I'm smelling formula. <br />

Some on post it notes, some on legal, some from honest-to-jeebus sketch books. The marker is fun, it's a prismacolor, cloud blue or sky blue or tears-of-a-clown blue or something.<br />
<br />
Things are going pretty well, thanks for asking. My wife is watching "Suits", which is a show starring attractive, intense, driven people doing attractive, intense, driven things. I can relate. I'm doing a blog post after two scotches and a beer. Basically the same thing.<br />
<br />
I'm in a play. My lines are a good deal of political exposition. I talk a lot about legislation and Victorian economics and other things I don't understand. I plan on growing some very large side burns, I think that will sell it.<br />
<br />
Running a short Dungeons and Dragon's campaign. I'm finding that my group seems to get a bit bored with the fighty stuff, they like the social encounters. I threw an insane kobold guide into the mix last session, really seemed to perk things up. Maybe I'm just more entertaining doing funny kobold voices than I am describing graphic violence.<br />
<br />
Lastly, I just noticed that last December marked ten years that I've been on blogger, if you don't count the bit where I took an almost year long break. So happy Bloggiversary to me, I suppose.<br />

I drew it, but I dunno, it kinda feels like clip art to me. Does this seem like clip art? That kind of soul-less drawing that people just stick on newsletters and stuff? I mean, it's pretty empty. But it's supposed to be one of those background things that you stick the characters on to.<br />
<br />

I dachshund is a dog, right? It falls under the general heading. If I don't mention that <i>specific</i> breed, are the dachshund owners gonna get worked up? Actually, there are probably a few out there who would, I suppose. They'll think I'm playing favorites with the spaniel people.<br />
<br />
The argument seems to start earlier every show season, too.<br />

Very well. To business, such as it is.<br />

Drawing big and then reducing it can make the art look more detailed, with the added benefit of making medium mistakes look small and smaller mistake disappear.<br />
<br />
However, I've found it's just as rewarding and sometimes more more fun to go the other way, which is to say drawing something quite small and then blowing it up big.<br />
<br />

<br />
Rather than making your mistakes less noticeable, it instead makes them seem almost intentional, as though the drawing is organized by some weird principle. The accidental textures and variations add subtleties and complexities that usually commercial art tries to hide. Makes it more expressive and less slick.<br />
<br />
As I said, fun.<br />

I guess it won't be long now before he fakes his death and comes back as his own son, as he's done so many times before.<br />
<br />
By way of tribute, here's Warren Strong (we all love Warren, right?) Chris Sprouse did fantastic work on Tom Strong, but I never felt he quite captured the funnybook feel that Warren should have had. Too much anatomy or something. So I figured, why not more or less directly rip off Preston Blair? That oughtta do it. After all, we animators have been doing it for generations.<br />

Not sure how I feel about Moore's retirement. He's been one of my favorites since I started reading comics, and he was a big part of defining and re-defining what the medium meant and what it could do during this terrifying 20th to 21st century rollover we've been enjoying the past few decades. On the other hand, he expressed concern in his announcement that his contributions to comics had run their course and he didn't want to end up re-treading old ground.<br />
<br />
It's never fun to see that happen to someone you admire, to watch them become a parody of themselves. It's good when someone has the self-knowledge and the grace to do bow out before they overstay their welcome, but when it happens I always wonder, "Yeah, but what if you stay? What if your next thing will be the best thing you've ever done, but now it won't be because you're not going to do it?" But I guess that's the essence of the whole "Leave 'em wanting more" thing.<br />
<br />
Ha, "Leave 'em wanting Moore". Good one.Seanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16269391121667999651noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37961751.post-36358010950883548172016-08-30T19:09:00.000-04:002016-08-30T19:09:18.820-04:00FillerAugust, amirite folks?<br />

At first I figure "Check it, Russians dig me," but then I look it up and the internet tells me it's all bots, and it's very bad that the bots are doing that. When I try try to determine exactly why it's bad, the explanations very quickly become incomprehensible gibberish.<br />
<br />
<span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="ru"><span class="">So, like most of my problems that I don't understand, I figure it's best if I just ignore it. If you're actually a Russian person viewing this blog, then </span></span><span class="gt-baf-back">Добро пожаловать! If you're a bot then I dunno, keep on keepin' on, I guess.</span><br />
<span class="gt-baf-back"><br /></span>

These pretty much have nothing to do with each other except that they were all done by me when I likely should have been doing something else. Actually, why don't we go ahead and make that the definition of Art in general? "Things that people make when they probably should have been being productive." Works as well as any other definition I've ever read.<br /><span class="gt-baf-back"><br /></span>Seanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16269391121667999651noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37961751.post-52388138544438299152016-06-22T18:35:00.000-04:002016-06-22T18:37:03.606-04:00Less Talk, Mor-lock.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

the stone at Dhorn with the all the force of his petulant temper. Slow as
Dhorn's intellect was, it didn't apply to his body or reflexes. He ducked

five yards from them, squinting and blinking at the light although the day was
still dark and overcast. It stood about four feet tall with long pale limbs
that had an unpleasant rubberiness about them, as though they were
underdeveloped in some way. It had a shock of white hair on top of its head
that splayed in all directions, and it was dressed in soiled off-white rags. It
peered at them with black and sunken eyes, in stark contrast to its puffy,
loathsomely shiny white face. </span></i></div>

structure beside it.</span></span></span></i>Seanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16269391121667999651noreply@blogger.com0
