sketchbook (1/3)

[egypturnash]

Sketch dump! We ended up at Bill and Evan's place last night. As is usual, after a while I just kinda withdrew into my sketchbook.

Not so much on the spiders this time. I think I've decided I have enough spider-girl sketches to work on right now! That said, the first thing is still a spider...




I really like this one. She may live alongside the space spiders. She probably preys on them or something. In a way they like, of course. Spiders are creepy.




This is faintly based on Bill's cat.



Shy spider!




Discussion about mind-fuck movies. Me going literal.

Mmm, you made spidergirls so cute and not scare-me.

I love the 2nd one, must be that tail. :3

Spiders are friendly! But creepy.

You mentioning the tail reminds me that if I do that second image in AI, I want to see if I can use the 3D capabilities to make it. I never touch them.

The second one has potential, I love that pose!
You have an amazing capability to draw in a wide-angle perspective.

yeah, the second one's a serious candidate for Doing Something with. She's right around the 'hot' peak of the rim of the Uncanny Valley for me.

The wide-angle mostly comes from accident - I draw a cool figure, then I want to do more BG than I have room for. So I have to use a kind of fish-eye lens to get a sense of setting in around it. This works against my desire to have the rhythms of empty space, of course. It all balances somehow...

I love the shy spider. ^__^ You could finish that one somehow.

That one didn't quite come together, but there's something there. It may well get collaged with some of the other images for a final piece...
