The Seduction of a Metaphor
(bandwidth:vcl)


This is the first time I've done a finished piece with outlines in forever. You really have to have outlines to nail the Art Noveau Hair, and having strong outlines printed in a color besides black is also good for a lot of points of Noveauness.

In case you haven't noticed yet, I like raccoons. They're the only kind of critter I have more than one example of as an active character I play on a muck, unless you count the two sequential variations of a crazy butterfly. This does not mean that any girl raccoon I draw is Me, though this one has much the same arrangement of sexual characteristics I do. I have a nicer ass, though.

The sketch started out as a cheetah, for no immediately obvious reason, and got revised into a raccoon. Weird.

The background took a while to get right. It felt like I spent as much time on it as I did on the figure - though losing a bit of work in the "inking" stage, and a brief flurry of crashes related to that, made it seem like the figure took forever, a few times.

Mm. The odd thing is this: I've tried doing psychedelic-era graphics, and just can't. Maybe I don't have enough material handy; the main things I've seen from the Sixties are, well, cartoons. Sixties cartoons were resolutely apsychedelic. I have a vague glancing idea of psychedelic tropes but no real knowlege of them... I've never really tried drawing in the specific zone of Yellow Submarine's design because I'm loathe to draw "in the style of <movie>". it's such a Fannish Thing, my instincts say.

Primary colors. I've fought so hard against that tendency to go straight to the default, super-saturated palette that all the computer programs give you by default. I clear out the starter swatches, I mute my hues... maybe someday I should deliberately throw myself deep into the abyss of SCREAMING COLOR. Although I'm sure it'd still come out with a pretty limited palette.
