the old nasties

I was looking through my old sketchbook scans for a particular drawing to maybe fool with in AI and I found this little gem instead.

I am 99% sure I drew this on the bus to or from Spümcø. That kinda tells you everything you need to know about it.

( Nasty, isn't it? )

Oh, and if anyone's wondering about the videogame whim? I tried rebuilding the swarm behavior in Unity last night and today and actually got worse performance than I had with Blitz's native 2D alpha blits. It's possible that I don't comprehend the Right Way To Code For Unity, of course - but it doesn't seem like that much less work to pick that up than to remember C(++) and wrangle OpenGL myself.

Also, I still think this is cool. But not at all foul.

This is why I was digging through my old stuff: after we watched "Brick" last night, I wanted to do something with this sketch from way back in 2003.
