The Lost Episode of Ask PC

I didn't think I'd ever end up letting this see the light of day. Despite having some jokes that I consider my best work, the animation was just terrible (especially in the car ride scene, it looks like a 2001 flash cartoon!), and the voice acting for the Hitchhiker was even worse.

The big reason I gave up on the cartoon was the ending I had planned out was just not going to happen because the concept was really lousy, frankly. It was originally a mean spirited parody of The Mourner by charlie zero, in which Vic and Sean would basically pull a bugs bunny on the guy. I finally decided to make it less and less about the mourner, but the more I messed with the plot from the inside out the more confounded it became. It went out of control like a panicked cat and I had no choice but to drop it.

My last attempt to salvage this can be noted in the final scene (after the cheese-it joke). It's really quality work and it shows some of the techniques I applied to future cartoons like Ico Parody and BBB, but it wasn't enough to save the project. Instead of that last scene saving AskPC3, it got taken down with it.

But since you guys are used to seeing my scraps, You probably won't mind this being so unfinished. (BTW Mockarina of time Master Quest was about 5 times as broken as this was):

Opening:


Scene1


Scene2


Scene3


(I used Photobucket instead of Youtube, because I don't really want this movie getting out too much)

I think this was a joke I was going to shoehorn into it somewhere. The reference is already obscure after only 2 years.

PC Month Part6: A tale of Two Sean's

There's probably a word for when a person's character falls so far from his own context (Almost ALWAYS because of abusively breaking the 4th wall) that he splits into two characters entirely. It's Probably called creative Mitosis or something. Whatever the word for it is, it happened to Sean, and to Vic as well.

I didn't notice it for a long time, because I was using the Ask PC versions of those two to develop the character of their original selves. However the changes grew too different to ignore and I suppose it finally dawned on me when I had decided to do the unthinkable... to take away Sean's goofy one sleeved sweatshirt.
Wearing the same sweatshirt everyday, especially when your in a war, and especially when one of the sleeves is torn off, was way too silly for Sean's character. So I gave him a Plated vest (or something along those lines) and for the sake of tradition I covered up his right arm with a unique cape. I even gave the Cape a little background: It's a weapon cloak of the Theaklin people who used to use it as a way of concealing their weapons just before a duel to surprise the opponent. Sean wears it mainly for tradition as he always uses a spear.

Now this weapon cloak worked great for the more serious Sean, but I couldn't get myself to add it to the other Sean, as fans had already identified with the odd sweatshirt. and that's when I realized there WAS another Sean. And my work became just a little easier

And so On January 31st, I brought back Sean and Vic from Ask PC by making them apart of the Meow productions opening. and shortly after that, they stared in their first cartoon in 2 years "Not the Puppy."
And the original Sean Would later Make an appearance of his own in "Heeeey Terrene." Even though it was a humorous little flash, it was all in canon to his own world and it never broke the fourth wall.

And that's the Story of Sean and how he turned from an extra in the background to main character, to lead role, comedic, and finally to two different people entirely.

Tomorrow I've got a really big treat for everyone. You won't want to miss this.

PC Month Part5: Sean's Curroption Courtasy of ASK PC

The Ask PC comic ran for a good year and a half, but unfortunate events happened in fall of 2003 that caused the tragic cancellation of the comic. The first thing that happened was the website I used as an outlet couldn't afford keep itself free and I couldn't afford to keep all my pictures there anymore. Luckily I was able to save all of my work on a CD, but...
The second thing that happened was the CD corrupted and all my archives were gone. It didn't devastate me but not having the archives of the Ask PC comic any more (save for the few that were on the hard drive) made continuing the comic rather pointless, and I was running thin as it was.

Sean and Vic didn't die that day, but they were homeless (especially after I was kicked off the site for getting on the bad side of a Uruguayan moderator who was a bit too into beyblades and Sailor moon). Luckily I had discovered Newgrounds.com earlier that year (I had been spending the whole year with grand dreams of creating the next Eskimo Bob, or Arrogancy) and my older brother had recently got his hands on Flash 7 which he was happy to let me use. Now I was going to wait a year to get used to flash before I brought Ask PC back in the game, but like my first entry, a little experimenting suddenly became a full cartoon and AskPC: Explosions are Fun was created, as well as an immediate Sequel which was uploaded on April of 2004 (the second PC month).
In hindsight, Waiting a year would have been good. With limited knowledge of things tween easings and an overuse of symbles and mask layers, This cartoon did not age well.

Tragically, though, when I finally realized how flawed my process was, I was already half way complete with AskPC three and Mockarina of time Master Quest. Both projects were simply unsalvageable, no matter how much I tried.

I put Sean and Vic back into Incubation, until I could figure out how to continue ask PC. But There was a bigger conflict in me that I hadn't even realized until today.
When Vic and Sean were first created, they were the heroes. They were fighters in a complicated world full of villains and war and monkeys.
But everytime I presented them online, they were less and less Canon to their own story. When Sean was Revived, if you remember, he was revived because of a chibi drawing of himself, and in the way that's what he still was at that point.

But I still was not sure if the world that they left behind was worth returning too. After all, the Same attitude that created their world was what created the god awful spiked hair of Sean's. In the back of my mind was the thought that After six years of working on that project it had amounted to nothing; It was just the overthought fairy tale on the foundation of a preteens fanfics. If I was going to go anywhere with that story, I had to start fast.

Vic and Sean had two paths ahead of them:
1) Throw Their world away, and Continue Ask PC with Sean and Vic as my mascots and not as heroes.
2) Or abandon Ask PC and Bring them into a world they may not have a place in anymore.

You may not understand what I mean when I say this but... I left this choice up to them. When you develop a character enough, their able to make their own choices, and Vic and Sean were able to make theirs. When I got an answer, I realized something I should have noticed in 2002 (and didn't understand until today).


Tune in tomorrow for a dramatic conclusion. As always, Feel free to ask Questions.

Garde' knows what it takes to be cool!

It's odd: I watched the series when it first came out, and for the past few years I've had it on in the background quite often. I own a few of the branch off games, and as you all know I've made almost an hour's worth of films starring Ash Ketchem. I'm even one of the very few people who actually bought Drill Dozer, and yet I've never played one of the main series pokemon games.

Well I just picked up Diamond today and I'm going to see how this stuff is firsthand. I'm trying to connect with Barrytoon soon and try out the online in it. I'll post up the damn friend code soon enough.
Anyway, To celebrate, I've made this little sketch.

Yes it's the pimped out Gardevoir... well kinda, She just has some Shades, a short cut skirt, and a gold embroidered whatever the hell that thing is...

I don't think I should have gone with this pose, and the rest of the sketch is off in so many ways- mostly in the torso area because of the left arm the that other thing.
I'd work on it more, but I ran out of time.

None the less, that is one stylish Saanaito.

(PC month part 5 tomorrow)

PC Month Part4: Sean's Return from Pergatory

On October 23rd of 2001, I made my debut to the online world uploading my fun little doodles to a fanart site. Most of the Pictures uploaded were of Vic in which he would do wacky things like fight armies of pencils get eaten by a hippo and... run facing profile in a random background. I had also uploaded at least one picture of every character from Vic and Sean's Story except of course for Sean because of his terminal case of carnivorous hair.

Well One day in the winter of 02, I decided to just go ahead and draw him anyway. I decided to Draw a chibi version of Him, because I had recently done a series of chibi versions of all the other characters (I know it's dorky, but I was 14, lay off).

So I made this Chibi of Sean. He has the standard superdeformed body with simpler detail- I even began drawing a simpler version of his hair. But as I drew the hair I began (FINALLY) fleshing out a much much better hair design for the character. It looked much more like hair and hair that followed the laws of physics. Now it still needed more work before it became the Sean that all of you know, but it was pretty good compared to my other work at the time, and it also trickled down to the rest of Sean's Details: His face and personality became oh so much more Smug (which was a godsend compared to that bugeyed village idiot look) and while you can't really see it in this chibi version here, his build became a lot sleeker which is helpful for his clothing style.
Sean was not just Saved by this new design, he was reborn, even his role in the project he originated from changed drastically from this. Before he was an inexperienced moma's boy who was eager to prove himself and after this he became an arrogant conflicted warrior who was mourning his dead mother (he did not kill his mother).

But I'm Digressing now. I now had a presentable design for sean and I was ready to share it with the people who were following my work (I think there were 2 followers). And since this character who was so important had been neglected for so long up until this point, I decided to make an event out of it. That event was PC Month.

Every Picture I uploaded to the web on that month had Sean in it, Even if I had to just nudge in a small version of him like here:Oh Hey look, It's Malloy again. Why does he keep coming back on this blog... Anyway to top off PC month I made a ten part comic series in Which Vic and Sean would answer questions from the reader (whether they be made up or someone who actually read it. Seriously the comic had an average of 15 views). The comic was of course Ask PC. And it wound up going on for another 35 comics.

And here's the rest of Sean's Drawings before I moved on to flash. I'm not going to go into story.

So All that's left to talk about is how sean has adapted to the grand world of flash (and I may include a pretty special surprise).
Still, All the old artwork is probably wearing you guys out. So I might have some newer sketches for friday.

The Cast of Luik: part 4, The Hero (alive)

First of all, his name isn't Luik. His name was not Luik when I started this project, and though it may have been his name sometime during the production, his name is not Luik now.
I'll reveal who Luik is in the cast of Luik Part 6, but for now, we talk about the (currently) nameless hero.

For those of you familiar with the Legend of Luik, you will notice that this picture here is from before his home was destroyed.
His earliest memory was that of his Grandfather being gone. He could never remember his grandfather, but he remembered when he was gone: he remembered his father telling him that his grandfather was dead. Much of his idle time as a young child was thinking about the what dead was, and this was tricky because he had never encounter someone dieing in his life, only them no longer being around after their death. He decided for himself that Death meant a person could no longer be a part of his life.
In his Eyes only people other than himself could be dead. After all, he thought, how could he be separated from himself? This is what comforted him, for he was all too scared of what happened to those who died. At this time he was six years of age and a young girl had made a habit out of watching him; his fate was sealed.

When Luik was chosen by Katharina, the girl's father made it a point that this boy would become the strongest man in their village. Having the very leader of the village as a mentor was an honor, but between the daily endurance training and the constant nuisance following him around he began to wonder if after death was so scary after all.
But he eventually grew fond of the Girls company, and he became more interesting in progressing his training himself.
As he grew more fond of Katharina he began to worry about her own death. A time could come when she would no longer be a part of his life. This would not be a problem much longer as he would soon learn with his own eyes what death really was. His Village was under attack, and the force was so desperate that there was no way they could have survived. His eyes became clouded in the chaos and all of his training was useless. ...

The next thing he knew everyone around him was as cold as the earth and their bodies were destroyed. Nothing of what his village had been was left; his home, his village, and his life were gone. He now knew what happen to those after they died. He no longer feared it, and without fear of death, and with his eyes still clouded with chaos, the now dead Luik could see one thing and one thing alone. Katharina was not among the bodies... he had nothing to lose from pursuing the ones who took her.


And that's the Story of the hero's Life, Next Month, we'll take a look at what he considers his death, although at that time a full version of Legend of Luik will finally be available (and because of Deviantart's Licensing regulation this preview will only be available on the blog).

Tune in tomorrow for part 4 of PC month. Did I ever fix Sean's Atrocious hair? Find out tomorrow!

PC Month Part3: The attack of Sean's Hair

Warning, this Blogpost contains some of WORST art I have ever made, but please understand that this is all apart of how the Ask PC comics came to be. Every story has it's villain, and this story's villain is Sean's hair.

Now the project that Both Vic and Sean came from had their initial inspiration from 2 games: FlashBack: a quest for identity, and Wild Arms 2. When I was thinking up Sean's hair I decided to take inspiration from this character here, WA2's Ashley "Girly name" Winchester.
I should point out that in this picture there is a strong gust that is sticking his hair out in that direction.
When I was 13 I DIDN'T KNOW THAT (stupid stupid stupid me). This resulted in Sean's look being being based entirely on being frozen in time as the wind was blowing. The result was a monstrosity like this picture here:
But that wasn't good enough for me, I decided that Seans hair was too spikey... and my solution was to reduce the number of spikes... and increase their size...
Do your very best not to scream, my friends. You may never look at Sean the same way again.

At some point between February of 2001 and March of 2002... Sean had this hair...
I can't defend myself here. This is the worst work I have ever done, regardless of my age (13 at that time). It's like his head was being eaten by mutant orange slices... He's got a Cowlick that's as tall as his head! And I KNEW how bad this was when I drew it, but "it couldn't possible because of their hair," so I overcompensated by adding as much detail as I possibly could, which made it worse because I was terrible at such detail as well: mosaic eyeballs, over contrasted noses, horribly darkened shading, and a very very big jaw that makes him look like a farm animal... Wait a minute, where did that scarf come from? I don't even remember drawing that.This picture here is the worst of them all. You can click on it to get the full view, but I ask that those of you with weak stomachs not click on that.

At least he looked okay when it was raining

And there we are. If you have any Questions I am prepared to answer for my horrible mistake.
PC Month will continue on Thursday with Sean's Rebirth as a decent Looking character, the creation of PC month, and Why PC month was created. Wednesday will be featuring a new "The cast of Luik"

PC Month Part2: That funny Sweater.

Now that Sean was finally created, he needed a look. I wasn't too much for designing characters at the time, and by "giving Sean a look," what I really meant was "have a shirt that none of the other characters wear."

Yes Sean's First Major characteristic was his one sleeved sweatshirt. I had a grey sweatshirt at that time that his outfit was based on (even that lighter grey stripe on his chest). However the reason he only has one sleeve and sags over it's right hand has a deeper story to it.

See in summer/fall of 2000 Cartoon Network's Toonami was airing "Tenchi In Tokyo." I wasn't too happy with this cartoon, and I liked it less and less the more I thought about it, but I used to watch the good Tenchi series when PBS aired it, so I gave the show a chance. It was a really terrible cartoon, though, you haven't seen it, don't waste your time.

In one of the episodes, there's a guy who had this jacket with one long sleeve that he concealed a blade in. I had thought the Concept was interesting enough and applied it to Sean. In retrospect the character was kind of Feminine and not at all right for Sean's character, but Sean's outfit was effected by this guy none the less. and so our green haired hero got the sweat shirt he has today.

The picture above is actually from about January of 2001, I don't have any pics of him before this point left, besides the one where he gets electrocuted. And on that note I should point out that I also had his electrocuting as the reason his left arm sleeve got ripped off.

As an interesting way to end this part: Sean does not even have this sweater anymore at all. In the recently released flashtoon Hey Terrene, his look was changed to be more practical.


So there is your history of Sean for the day, but be forewarned: the next part will not be pretty. We'll be looking at the terrible hair that Sean had over the year 2001 (this is going to get ugly, I'm almost afraid to show the next sketches).

April is PC month

At least it was... back in 2002 and 2004. Anyway, I've decided to bring it back.

PC month was originally a month where all my work featured Sean (back when I called him PC for stupid reasons). I figured that since I've got this blog started, and since I've been a little nostalgic about the old Ask PC comic, I'm going to use most of the rest of April to tell the story of how Sean was created both as a character (in a story that you've never heard of), and in his look.

So basically how he turned...

from this:________To this:

And there's the latest version of Sean, looking at his older selves being electrocuted...

I'm not sure if Sean still gets electrocuted Maybe I should keep it in just so I can wipe that smug look off his non electrocuted face!

There is, of course, a reason Sean is being Electrocuted in those pictures, and it just so happens to be how this story begins

Part one: "Sean"s Creation
Vic and Sean weren't always the Dynamic Duo that we know and love today- Killing Pies and puppies, and interviewing angry Alberts. Up until July of 2000, it was all about Vic (and a standard cast). Sean first appeared as nothing but a name; a random name in a little script on a small notepad. For the next few months, Sean was just an extra in the story with no real characteristics.
But then a lack of something happened. The first arc of Vic's epic tale you've never heard of ran pretty thin. So I added an event that involved Sean getting captured by the enemy, and his father being one of the main villains. For very stupid Reasons, this event concluded with Sean getting electrocuted and joining with Vic's group.

So there you have it. The violent Electrocution was what made Sean a Key Player in both my work, and the story he was first created in.


But what really made Sean such an important character to the point that you see him more often than Vic now was making one of the key villains his dad. Giving him a father with a significant role meant he now had a family history that needed to be shoe horned into an already developed plot. Sean's history developed rapidly and connected to so many elements of the story that today he's become the central focus of it all.
Sean is technically one of my greatest mistakes. I was way to inexperienced to know that back then.

Tomorrow, we learn how Sean's look began to develope (trust me, this one gets far more awkward).

Brian Green's storyboard sketches

Here are some of the first production Sketches for Brian in BBB2. As you can see it's Insanely different from how she looked from the first cartoon last year.
Her Pupils are a lot smaller (as are her eyes in general), The hair isn't all that difference, but everything has a much difference look without using pure vector art (Which I will probably not be going back to).
The head and body sizes have changed as well, although sizes changed all the time in last cartoon so the only difference here is consistency.

As for the face, I finally got the right kind of look out of her. As I said, I was trying to get more of Erica Henderson's style into Brian's Look and the result is exactly what I had in mind. It's Slightly realistic, but in a zany kind of way. And the Best Part of all is that I managed it without adding a nose on her (The day Brian Green has a visible nose is the day I see hell freeze over!)
...
...
...
MAN ALIVE! Is this me talking like that? I've only been taking my drawing remotely seriously for less than 10 months, and Now I'm like this? Sheesh, I might just take some legit' art classes and see how far that'll take me- but general education comes first... general ed'... OH SHOOT my history paper!

SHE'S ALIVE!

Here's a little animation of Lily Waking up after being knocked out in "Legend of Luik" (it's a GIF so click on it).
Originally I had intend on killing off both Enrique and Lily to show just how far the Hero had fallen, but this was before I had really developed their characters. I had thought of adding to the end that, by some miracle, both Lily and her Father are brought back to life after the Hero and Katharina are gone. This was too contrived, though, and so I just left Lily spared to pick up the pieces.

As it is now, Lily wakes up at dawn to find the Hero and Katharina gone. Her father is still dead, but has been positioned on his back with his arms crossed and his face covered.

So, Lily Waking up. This is the first sequence of the last chorus for Legend of Luik. I'm oh so close.

Politics and humor... use with caution

There is 2 forms of political humor: The kind that MOCKS of political tensions, and the kind that USES political Tensions.

The first kind of humor makes fun of not the issue itself, but how worked up people get over it.

The second kind of humor makes fun of only one side of the issue, which causes the audience to be polarized between those that agreed with the joke and those that did not. Thus the Quality of the joke doesn't matter, it could be unimaginative and droll but still hide behind it's ultimatum fallacy (I'm looking at you, Ebolaworld!)

I'm not the Biggest fan of the second kind, in case you didn't know. Mainly because it's Manipulative and doesn't have to rely on humor, which defeats the purpose of it's existence in the first place. It's essentially just an attention getter.


My humor is almost never political... even (especially) when I TRY to make it political:

The O'Ridley Factor
"The Screw attack Stops Here"
(Midna Malkin is filling in for Bill O'Ridley who was killed by Samus again)

This is how much I suck at Political humor. Here I think up an idea for a parody of the O'Reily Factor of all things, and all the jokes are just puns on peoples names.
Still, the "Most Ridiculous Item" joke is almost too good to pass up. If I actually put some real effort into this (maybe add the "Chevron eats a baby" story to it), I just might get somewhere.
The Spinner really was a very silly item, wasn't it?

BBB3 plot ideas

First off, this was supposed to be posted a good 10 hours ago, but something was keeping me from uploading the sketch, so I had to wait for it to fix. I'll post again later today to compensate.

So once I made the suggestion to myself to put some of the Ask PC characters (The Bandanna Bounty Hunters, and the Cap Sisters) into Bridgette Brian and the Bunny 3, a lot of ideas started moving and I'm now certain that adding these guys into BBB canon will only help cartoon.

Right now BBB is all humor and random, but where it's heading will have a lot more plot to it, and I need to make sure I buffer this as much as I can. One of those ways could be to introduce more important characters in a foreshadowing light (ie: They don't reveal anything about themselves, but you know they will eventually). This is where those four Ask PC characters come in: they're all bounty hunters, which means they need a bounty to hunt and they need someone to put up the bounty.

So I introduce some major characters by having them put up a Bounty for Bridgette and Brian, this brings these characters into the picture and it also sets up the wacky events of episode 3 involving the Ask PC characters.

With that in mind, I'd better learn to draw some of those characters fast, Which brings us to the sketch, Brian Black:
She is a robot like Brian Green (the one in the first blog post), so I tried making the skin color look unnatural, but I might need to tinker with that a bit. The clothing is pretty arbitrary, it just needs to be droopy and Submissive, so I felt the Kimono would fit that pretty well.
I got the face exactly how I wanted it, but the body isn't right at all; It's disproportioned in places and it also is to old (she's supposed to be at least 5 years younger than Brian Green). I would blame that on the odd pose she's in, but that's what makes the face work so well.

New blog extras

Sorry there isn't a new sketch today, but I did add a little something to the Blog's Title so... consider that todays sketch.
I also entered a hit counter... mainly out of boredom.

Anyway, I've got my hands tied tomorrow too, but I'll try to update anyway.

A look into the past

I've gotten really nostalgic this weekend as I get more and more serious with BBB2 and Legend of Luik, and I started to think back on my first big online project, Ask PC.Of course it's hard for me to look back on it, as my archives of the comic are lost forever, So I just did a little group shot of all the characters of the Ask PC show... that I could remember.
I tried to draw this in as close to the style (and quality) of the original as I could, I even added the badly done shading technique I used on that comic...
in fact I used that technique on everything I did when I was 14...
...
Come to think of it, Don't I STILL use this shading for Bridgette and Brian?
Well there we go, Ask PC lives on in those 2... at least in that way.


Anyway, The characters shown in the first picture are (From Left to Right) The Meow Productions cat, who would make recurring appearances in the comic; The Bandanna Bounty hunters, who were hired to kidnap Sean and were also Really big fans of the Comic (also their stick figures); Sean and Vic; Sarah Shafer is in between those two, Sarah joined the comic when Sean went on a trip and she basically took over the show and also constantly flirted with Vic (she then came back as the comics censor); last is Handi-Cap and Re-Cap who were once apart of the Bandanna Bounty hunters, but later had a surgery that changed them "from Stick Figure Girls to Girls with Stick Figures." also, they're wearing overalls, not dresses

It was a silly comic, and was very poorly adapted into flash. After writing this blog, I just might try to bring it back into flash, but I should not be distracting myself with that right now, I have other cartoons to do... I'll see If I can't put the Cap sisters into BBB3 or something.


In other Nostalgia News, I decided to Google my Name the other day and I found my old profile to the very fanart/fanfic site that I uploaded Ask PC to. All the fanart was deleted by moderators back in 2003, but for some reason all the writings I uploaded are still there. The writing is absolutely terrible, but your welcome to read it: Crap and More Crap

Legend of Luik Progress

I am now 46 frames away from the end of The Bridge* in Legend of Luik, that's less than 2 seconds, and only one more shot.
I've been stuck on the animation for the Bridge of this song for months, I spent a huge amount of time on it, then got stuck, cut my losses and then redid the sequence all over again and now I'm almost done.
After this I'll just have to animate the Final Chorus and, while there were still be more to work on, I'll have a version of Legend of Luik that Actually goes from Beginning to end.
*The Bridge I'm referring to is the bridge of the song I'm using for the Legend of Luik Animation. The song is Sleepless Sun by Nightwish.

To Celebrate, Here's a happy Picture of Lily:
I don't do many pictures of Lily Happy. Anyway, I'll work hard to Finish Luik.

Mini Models

So Perhaps you guys remember posable figurine of Master Chief that I used in "Ash Versus the Two Towers" and if you don't go here.
Anyway I figured since I'm trying to take my drawing seriously now, I should try out using a little sketch manikin as a drawing reference. Of course the Halo Figurine is a far cry from the real deal, I think I could get some use out of it.
So, Here's the result.
Not terribly bad, Let's see how it is compared to the real thing
Hmm... looks Like I made a mistake with the Depth of the chest, and it threw off the left limbs. Still the overall frame is good. Let's put some decent use to it though shall we. What should I do with it...There we go, I added a door to justify the weird position the fingers are in. The character here is a guy I used to name Malloy. I haven't drawn this guy in over four years... though I'm starting to see why. I should really give this guy's clothes a once over.
Hmm... not to mention the bulk of the Space suit messed things up here and there. Well that was fun.
See you guys next time

Drinking water

If theres one thing I have going for me, It's that I keep myself hydrated. People are supposed to drink something around one ounce of water for every 2 pounds they weigh (and even more if they take caffeine), and I do that by keeping a huge supply of water at my desk at all times. I usually use 2 liter bottles to hold them, but right now I'm using a collectors cup from the local movie theater. Even though their plastic and meant to last a while, it still gets used far beyond its original intention, the top is now worn and beaten and it's soul has been crushed by overuse:Which brings us to todays sketch. There's that movie theater cup, now turned water glass begging to be thrown out or recycled. What I did with the coloring in this was I set the paint brush in FLA to "paint behind" which allows me to scrawl accross the whole thing and not draw over the outline. It's good for a messy sketch effect in the backgrounds, or hair (when used carefully) and it's also good when your so god damn lazy you can't move the pen half way across the screen to the Fill tool.

Not a good start...

I've secured a sketchblog now. I'll still be plenty active on the other sites, but now at least I have a site that provides links to all the other sites entirely so we can straiten things out.

First big problem though is that once again, "TX2" has already been taken on this site. Is that name just popular or is this a bizarre coincidence?

I'll post a real update soon enough, for now here's another Brian Sketch...Her look is finally solidifying. 5 1/2 heads tall; legs are 2 1/2 heads long; chest is 3/4 as big as the head
