Ashwin Pande's Boobs

Another twitter sketch request! This is something I did a few weeks ago, for @ashwinpande (who always requests "BOOBS!" so...). Coloured it up in the Gimp. Since it does feature naughty naughty breasts, am keeping the full image behind a more link, so as not to, um, corrupt people? Hell, I don't know -- if you're here you're probably corrupt anyway.

Mr Savant Tries to Smile a Bit - Gimp colored

More catching up! I drew this on paper last September, on an A4 sheet using a light blue marker for the sketch, and then various black pens to lay down inks. The good thing about this method is that you can then scan the piece in grayscale mode and any amount of rough sketch lines magically disappear! (You can see this in the sketch version below)

Colored in the Gimp, of course, using a woefully-neglected graphics tablet. Actually there was a fourth figure in this, but it was so horribly drawn (a last minute add to fill up the page) that I decided to erase her from the colored version. This is what the original page looked like:

Another image I'd done early in the year also features our lovable interdimensional tourist, and involved food, of a sort. I just realised I hadn't posted it here on the site:

Savant Chicken Monster

I should really be drawing a whole lot more.

So Much for Pathos

So Much For Pathos -- a cropped banner version of the illustration
The other day I finally bothered to buy an optical mouse again. The old one had gone wonky and had been replaced, for a few months, with a ball one. While installing it I suddenly realised that the little graphics tablet attached to my work computer -- hidden beneath a pile of well-intentioned clutter -- was indeed working. Samir had fixed whatever byzantine driver issues were afflicting it, and in typical Samir fashion had now forgotten quite how he did it and when it had happened (btw, have you checked out his spiffy new blog and site?). With another hour to go before The Simpsons, I decided to give it and the new mouse a whirl.
