Kinda-sorta Fan Art, but not really
Added 2017-09-21 22:37:25 +0000 UTCLast week a friend of mine splurged and picked up a brand-new 27" Wacom Cintiq graphics tablet, and let me play around with it for a while. It came with a trial copy of Painter, and we were just getting into trying some sketches and brushes and whatnot.
While we were fooling around, I sketched up the above drawing- just the fox, none of the background. Trying for a bit of an action pose, and on a whim I added a handgun, so it looked like a scene from a spy thriller or something.
Anyway, Drew saved that B&W line art rough sketch, and while he was practicing with textures and brushes and the perspective tool, he colored and shaded it, and added the background.
I thought it actually came out pretty well, as long as you ignore the gross anatomical errors and the fact she apparently has a Lazy Susan in place of a spine. :) It's just a quick sketch.
My apologies for not posting much in the last week or so, my current workload has been considerably heavier than expected.
Doc.

Yep, the updater didn't cycle properly, I don't know why. Happens sometimes, but it's all better now. :)

2017-09-27 18:45:28 +0000 UTCThe Wacom, certainly. Fit and finish is better, details and accessories are better, drivers are better, the pen button has a better feel, etc. However, I'm also not necessarily a high-end professional artist, and the Yiynova works very well for me- at roughly a quarter the cost. And one thing I like more about the Yiynova is the stand- which can go from nearly-vertical to nearly flat and almost anywhere in between. The Wacom only has a small par of folding legs so you only have two choices- 5 degrees (almost flat) or 20 degrees (slightly less than flat.) A mount to do more than that, for the Wacom, is an *additional* $500. I like the idea of raising the tablet up to nearly vertical to use it as a second (or in my case, third) monitor when I'm not using it. The Yiynova makes that easy, the Wacom costs a bundle and the stand has two giant "wings" that keep you from sliding it up near another monitor. (First world problems, eh? :) )

2017-09-27 18:44:53 +0000 UTCSoo, I hate to comment here about the "main" strip, but the 'today' links are still pointing to yesterday's strip (9/25/17). I mean, you're busy, that's awesome, just wanted to make sure it wasn't just a mislabeled link that could be fixed in 30 seconds. :)
2017-09-26 20:02:54 +0000 UTCSo which tablet do you like better then? Yours or the Wacom?
2017-09-26 13:04:51 +0000 UTCHer spine having a lazy susan is the obvious one, but her breasts look like they are at her collarbones. That must be one hell of a pushup bra :) Still, lots of detail and a cool style - not bad for a quick sketch.
2017-09-25 01:14:07 +0000 UTCYeah, that pose would work a lot better if her other leg was forward :)

2017-09-22 17:11:29 +0000 UTCYup, always want a backup. And, a lazy susan? Nah, she's just - flexible. :-) Could be Sandy in an alternate universe, where she IS a spy....hmmmm, wonder what else that wormhole gun of Doc's could do if Roger tweaked it a little? Always wondered how all those characters showed up at Doc's Halloween parties......

2017-09-21 23:15:28 +0000 UTCI'd read a comic that looked like that. I agree the body twist is a bit extreme (mainly because it looks like it all pivots at the waist instead of twisting all along the spine), but why couldn't a super-spy be an expert at yoga?
