So um ...

I'm thinkin' we'll just be on hiatus until after BlizzCon and silliness, and we can get caught up with the ones we have missed. Post 'em as you complete 'em. :)

Week 5 Art Challenge: Weight Watchers Anonymous

Artists, for the most part, adhere to their cultural definitions of "beauty" when drawing human or anthropomorphic figures -- mostly, that means we draw slender people, because slender people are pretty, and we all like to look at pretty people.

This week's challenge to to cast off your cultural shackles and draw figures to tip the scales in the other direction! No rules other than to draw fat; it can be full body sketches, studies of rolls in particular areas, fully rendered and finished work, or speedpaints of fabulous flab. We'll make this another two-week special, since that seems to be easier on our schedules; that makes it due on Wednesday, September 22.

Apologies for posting a day late. Totally spaced out that yesterday was Wednesday.

Week 3 at last!

ZOMG I finally got a shirt design! This was not the original one I had in mind (and I still want that one, but perspective drawing a tank still boggles my brain), but I'd wear it! Dave at work teases me about being a Bolo Tech, so that's partly where this design comes from. The "LMR-2593" on the back would be the Bolo to whose team this tech is assigned. In this case, the designation is itself a tribute to Keith Laumer (1925-1993), who first wrote about Bolos.

This could in theory be printed on any color combination, but for simplicity and an echo of some Army shirt designs, my preference is white on heather grey. I would totally buy this shirt ... and might just have to print one somehow. >.> Still needs some touchups, that's a real quick cutout job on the Bolo, but its good enough for screen res. :)
