reymonkeySooo finished inking the Magneto pic. It's pretty depressing, actually, but I guess that's what I was going for. If you're not familiar with the X-Men and Magneto, it probably doesn't make as much sense.
Note to self: Never, ever, ever do inking with a brush again. It took three days. The effects are interesting, although if I really wanted to do it right I would have made copies and inked the whole picture twice, because it was a very trial and error thing. I don't have that kind of patience, and this version is good enough. I like it because it doesn't look like my usual stuff at all, I was very much trying to copy the style of the comics I remember back when I was very into X-Men. Early nineties I guess. From what I've seen, the Marvel comics have a more heavily anime influenced look to them now, which is fine and all but this was to indulge nostalgia.
Cut for us poor pitiful dial-uppers.
I'm trying to finish up coloring the Mad Hatter pic, and I'll be computer coloring the Magneto one. It's already struck me that finishing a picture of the Mad Hatter having tea with time in pastel colors and Magneto remembering the concentration camps at the same time says something very weird about me. I'm not sure what, but it's damn weird.
In other news, I'm looking over those character meme drawing things that drift around on DA. I could use a break.
WTF of the day: Today in the mail we recieved a membership renewal for the gardens, which is a waste of paper as it is since we already renewed. Along with the envelope and form and all, there's a little green piece of paper to tell you about their dedication to saving trees and how you can help them save paper by renewing online because they are all about saving trees!
They sent us five duplicate copies of this piece of paper in the one envelope.
Because they really wanted us to know how big they are on saving paper.
