iWolf and fanart in progress

[exatron]

I put together an icon based on the latest iso pages, and started some Suburban Jungle fanart while playing with Inkscape 0.44.


First, the icon.


It has a couple of stray pixels, but it was fun putting it together.

Next, the Suburban Jungle fanart I started while playing with the newest version of Inkscape.

Half-finished Tiffany

My plan was to use the program's calligraphy tool to draw Tiffany's hair; unfortunately, that didn't work and I'm kind of stuck on how to proceed.

If anybody wants to see the image in its original format, go here. However, you'll need Adobe's SVG Plugin, Mozilla Firefox, or Inkscape to view the file.

Other than the jump to the first pose, it looks reasonably well choreographed that way :-)

Hmmmmmmmm...you could give Tiff a big afro! That'd be easy ^ ^;;;

Yeah, the jump does look a bit odd, but I try to not to alter the art too much when I'm animating stuff.

Easy, but wrong, especially since I was trying to draw hair.

The speed at which you can churn those icons out is scary!

And yeah, Tifanny definately needs hair! She looks a little androgynous as she is! I can't wait to see the finished result!

It only looks fast because the source is practically designed to move. All I do is some copying, pasting, and erasing and stuff the result into a .gif file. One of these days I'm going to remember to take some screenshots to show people how I do it.

Once I find the right technique for drawing hair, the work should go quickly.

And how have you been doing in California? I know you're busy with your job, but I like hearing from you.

Had a rough couple of days but I'm fine. Felt like going home but I'm settling back in. Thanks for your interest! How are things your end? ^__^

[exatron.livejournal.com]

Sorry to hear that, but at least you're feeling better now. And you're welcome for the interest. I'm really regretting that I didn't track you down sooner at AC.

Last week was a bit rough for me because of impending deadlines and an anal retentive boss, but the stuff I'm working on is going through validation sessions so I won't have as much work until that's done.

I also had a coworker discover my personal AIM address (I made one a while ago for work, but don't remember what it is), and I'm not quite sure how since I try to keep work and personal stuff as far apart as possible.

Me too, it's a shame we only had one afternoon to hang out - but there'll be other cons ^__^

It's always ups and downs, isn't it? With out the rushes, though, you can't appreciate the easy times!

Oh dear, that could get a little, um, furry! Goold luck ^__^;;

[exatron.livejournal.com]

True, and I wouldn't mind seeing you outside a con setting either.

I wouldn't mind the ups and downs so much if they were less extreme. Going from nothing to OMGTHISISDUETOMORROWANDWEJUSTSTARTED! is a huge strain, especially since the trip to and from work is an hour each way.

None of my coworkers know that I'm gay either, and I'm pretty sure at least one of them couldn't handle it.

If I happen to swing by Detroit, I'll let you know ^__^

Commutes. Suck. Period.

Really? Is it that you're not comfortable with them knowing, you don't want it to define you, or it simple never came up in conversation?

[exatron.livejournal.com]

Excellent.

I found that it depends. When I was driving ot Lansing for about two months, the commute wasn't that bad. It took an hour to get there too, but the trip was almost entirely on the freeway.

It hasn't come up, and I've learned that a couple of them wouldn't approve.
