I wrote a huge paragraph about this picture but somehow I lost it when trying to post. So here is take two.
As Kim has gone bushwalking he has coerced me into doing some pictures while he is away. I wanted to do a simple pencil sketch today but apparrently I do not currently own a pencil.
So after a few hours spent rummaging through every box and drawer in the house I instead opted for an alternative approach.
I have gone for a quick photo montage image manipulation, rendering the original photo back to a threshold level then converting it into one of my juvenile comic book characters. I have then printed and rescanned the image to give it that faded look. The printer streaked a bit but I think it adds to that early 90’s style I was goin for.
The character is Serendipity Steele who was a bit of a teenage homage to Bethelham Steele but wore a few more clothes. She is a good old fashioned fleshbot turned intergalactic smuggler, bounty hunter and freebooter with dermal plating and jacked up with all kinds of piloting and combat software. Every nerd teenager’s dream- a cybernetic Han Solo with breasts. Tomorrow after I go to the shops and buy a pencil I will actually try to draw something in the old school traditional manner. Dan.
I see you, with my eye…
Paper on paper, 20 minutes.
Another item from the wanted file for today’s link. This one verges on the embarrassing but it does look like an improvement on the classic sleeping bag.
I will be bushwalking in the Mt. Barney area from tomorrow morning until Monday afternoon/evening. I will be doing a piece each day, but will be unable to post them until my return.
To keep the site interesting during my absence I have invited a very good friend to do some guest posts, whether he does or not is entirely up to him.
Today’s post will follow this evening.
I will provide a better scan when it has dried.

To be honest I have never actually played a final fantasy game for longer than a few hours. I have however watched a number of them played through. So not a main character, not even an attempt at one, more just fiddling around with ridiculous clothing.
