clearing out the notebook...

[summercomfort]

Inspired by eptified clearing out his writing notebook, I scanned in stuff from my "all purpose book" from Autumn quarter.

They're here, everything that starts with "autumn".

Some notes:

• Autumn04-- I think this was in Salim's class. Anyway, as Joanne astutely comments, it's a "NHWC", or a "Not Hot WASP Chick." Because, y'know, hot WASP chicks are where it's at, yo.
  
• Autumn06-- Umm... I was thinking about Gosford Park. So she's dead. But it looks more like she's stoned or something.
  
• Autumn_chick -- It started w/ liking Autumn07. Proceeded to attempt drawing multiple times. Now all collaged into one. All horrible, really.
  
• Autumn 11, 13, 14 = the failure. Actually, I'd like to think of it as Sushu doing stretches. And pulling something. Of course, this was back in early November, so my metaphysically pulled muscle is healing and I'm feeling foolhardy once again.
  
• Autumn12 -- This one is all about the ass. Don't like the rest of her much, but the ass!
  
• Autumn16 -- cadrach, this is in class doodle after getting your 3am half-coherent LJ comment... It was followed by the realization that I can't draw anthros. Or animals
  
• Autumn17 -- Drawn directly after 16, pre-Anime Club Sanje. It's actually not-Sanje as in he's totally Asian-looking.
  
• Autumn22, 23 are now not-Christen and not-Itch. It's funny that Joanne's been bitching at my tendency to draw skinny white chicks and then cadrach comes and says "they're not skinny enough". ^^;;
  
• Autumn26 -- Itch. Doodled while waiting for RotK. Pending coloring. Legs messed up and to be ignored. Autumn 25 is actually an earlier pose but a post-Autumn26 costuming.

Re: Autumn16; No, I like that. It's unusual for anthro art, and that = good, very good. But sore yori: re Autumn26... all I can say is wow. It's sort of like Covielle's work as envisioned by Yoshitaka Amano. This I like. (Also, re 11, 13, 14 etc...I like your layout and style. I am really looking forward to working with you more.)

nice shading on the old man (question: WASP?) 06 needs her head back or sideways more she looks undead to me. I like autumn chick, she's got attitude plus you know I like how you do clothing 11,13,14: squeeeeeee!! but the coming home part... >confused< she suddenly seems younger and when did her hair come down.. or IS it a flash back O_O
15: so soft looking! why you no mention?
16: cute furries! and mind you furries aren't usually cute
17: who's sanje?
20: scary little kid!
23: spiffy hair! and crazy emotions
24: muahahaha now I keel j00
26: oh my god O_O I know know what the things in his hair are but they're COOL and all the fluff and ruffles and the spongy thing on a stick and the expression! muchly niftiness!

WASP = White Anglo-Saxon Protestant. Yes, he's still WASP, but he's not a young nubile chick
06: ::nodnod::
Autumn chick: Thanks! :)
11,13,14: ^^;; Let's say that I wasn't trying to make the art consistent b/c they were just random characters, and it's really not going anywhere, so I don't really have character designs for them or anything. (It's especially obvious on the guy, as his face and everything else changes from panel to panel) Her hair's down b/c she's coming home and unguarded and all that good stuff. I was just testing my layout skillz, as well as my shading skillz, both of which turned out unsatisfactory.
15: I scanned b/c soft-looking and pencily, but there's no further comment. After all, just another random chick
16: eh? furries aren't supposed to be cute?
17: Sanje is character that cadrach made up. Indian kid w/ bowl cut
20: hee. Actually, the front view is an earlier version of him. He ended up having wimpier eyebrows b/c he's wimpier like that.
23: :) I like, too!
24: XD
26: Thanks! I have much love for it, too. Actually, I colored it last night. Should scan! ::nodnod::
