sketchbook (1/5)
Jan. 1st, 2007 04:38 pmWe went over by Bill and Evan's for the New Year. As I tend to end up doing instead of talking, I drew.
On my mind was the theme of "spider girls". I'd had a crazy whim earlier in the day of doing enough pieces of Crazy Asteroid Spiders to fill a small exhibition - or a portfolio. The first image is something I scribbled out in Illustrator before going; the rest are all in my sketchbook...
I had a few starter ideas in my mind. A kind of chunky but still cute spider girl...

...and one in flight, joyously exploding.


This is the larger composition for the exploding spider.

Swapping chassis or maintenance.

Evan's addicted to follow-the-music games. Right now he's into Guitar Hero 2. Nick had the thought of extending the brand to Trumpet Hero, full of jazz classics; this turned somehow into a twisty drawing of a spider playing a saxophone - and explains, a bit, the lower right.

Spider with heavy lifting abdomen. Burning a hole in boring asteroid to get to a rich vein of minerals, I suppose.
More coming once I do some more scanning. There's about forty pages, total, though a lot are two-page spreads...
