doodles: why I should avoid Photoshop.

[egypturnash]

Two weird scribbles with story behind them of sorts. Both quickly tarted up in Photoshop instead of the usual Illustrator treatment, though I might do AI on one or both. Contains boobs, you're warned.


Four Moving One Seen and her pet/toy/apprentice Pretty Fifth Gem Whom Wiles Have Conquered.

Four Moving One Seen is a Trickster, a vixen, a seductress, and far too cunning for her own good. Pretty Fifth Gem Whom Wiles Have Conquered is... maybe going to get to be a vixen someday too, if she plays her cards right and obeys the right orders and breaks the right ones.

Some of the tails are imaginary.


Meanwhile, Rikal gets a ride on the back of a friendly rocket-spider. This may be a sign of insanity on xir part, but it's fun. Even if they're going a couple hundred miles an hour just off the ground.

Looking at that reading list makes me sigh. I've wanted to try to see what’s up on puzzlebox, but I've been on completely the wrong track. I've got piles of books in my room, and none of them are on the list. I can't even walk between the door and my bed for all the books and ... also laundry, but that’s another story. Why did I spend those month's reading Heinlen when I hated him from the beginning? Did anyone else feel like punching him about a third of the way into "Stranger in a Strange Land"?

Wait a minuet, why the hell do I have a pile of Heinlen and Rand? If I took a picture of it someone might mistake me for a rugged individualist! I think I’ll re-position those behind the Star Wars professional fan fiction novels from Jr. High.

Well. The reading list is just part of it. Those are some of the things that inspired the setting and the characters, that put all the ideas of "post-scarcity" in the various brains involved...

But hell. More than you think of this stuff might be in the library, or a used book store. SGet what you can find; explore. You'll find some interesting new things lingering in your head... and you might look at something in Puzzlebox and say "oh, I know where she swiped that from now!".
