Description I just felt like doing a quick one without much thinking...

Just as a warming-exercise, I guess.

Anyway, I tried a little different technique for this one, without inking and using layers in photoshop for every element... so I wanted a more painterly feel than usual. I got bored fast, so this lady was finished (as much as she was going to be, anyway) in about 5 hours.

Warming-up so I don't lose practice... next pieces will be better

I know that much, i'm just a little mystified as to why it's tattooed onto her breast...

AxelMedellin In reply to thespaceinvader [2006-02-20 05:54:13 +0000 UTC]

because she takes her riddle at heart...

Or, because it was more fun that way

Choose one...

lol why not go straight for complex numbers... what is it again? imaginary number: i = sqrt(-1)
bleh been too long since i've taken math...

howcome you didn't just paint the whole thing in one layer?

AxelMedellin In reply to etlgfx [2006-02-17 07:12:01 +0000 UTC]

Just experimenting, my friend... it's a lot easier in layers, you can select separately and you don't have to worry about overlapping. IMHO.

etlgfx In reply to AxelMedellin [2006-02-17 07:14:33 +0000 UTC]

yea true, i always get pissed off because every once in a while i forget to select the correct layer and all this garbage ends up getting painted over where i didn't want it, so i've been doing almost everything in a seperate layer for a while, maybe once in a while i'll seperate a character from the background layer, but rarely.

AxelMedellin In reply to etlgfx [2006-02-17 07:16:30 +0000 UTC]

I always do all the painting in one layer if I have good linework... since I was coloring a sketch here, I preferred to do it separately... the trick is naming each layer after its contents

etlgfx In reply to AxelMedellin [2006-02-17 07:18:05 +0000 UTC]

lol yea but i meant i'll forget to switch entirely, not switching to the wrong layer cause i always just work on a bit over here, then a bit over there etc. i'm all over the place and before you know it i painted on the wrong layer d'oh!

Hot damn, you're weird.

You need to work on your mammal hindquarters. And your wings.

I expected pi from the title

AxelMedellin In reply to sobekcroc [2006-02-17 06:47:19 +0000 UTC]

thanks, biological consultant...

And this was the number that drove the pithagoric mathematicians crazy...

sobekcroc In reply to AxelMedellin [2006-02-17 06:49:12 +0000 UTC]

Pi drives me crazy more. But I bet those mathematicians would be driven mad by something other than the number if they ever met this specimen.

AxelMedellin In reply to sobekcroc [2006-02-17 06:52:37 +0000 UTC]

but maybe that would distract them and we wouldn't have nice mathematics...

But maybe we would have now some really weird variations on the kamasutra

Whoa, indeed. If they could get the sphinx to cooperate, which seems unlikely.

AxelMedellin In reply to sobekcroc [2006-02-17 07:04:17 +0000 UTC]

Now, I have this story where they use sphinxes at the door of VIP clubs, so no-one gets in without the password....

sobekcroc In reply to AxelMedellin [2006-02-17 07:10:01 +0000 UTC]

lmao! That's an incredible idea! On the other hand, all the bystanders are happy to just watch the bouncers, lol.

You should draw one of these clubs.

AxelMedellin In reply to sobekcroc [2006-02-17 07:14:35 +0000 UTC]

Will do soon...

Of course, the REAL problem is when one of the sphinxes rebels, comes up with a new riddle no one can guess, and makes a stand right outside the restrooms

sobekcroc In reply to AxelMedellin [2006-02-17 07:26:43 +0000 UTC]

If you'll pardon the the pun, that would be crap.

Got to keep these sphinxes happy.

yea then the problem is that people aren't allowed to exit the restroom without the password, but they still let 'em in, so it turns into one big huge shit hole filled with people
