Automatic talking

I dug out the scanner today and hooked it up. I don't know why that was so easy this time around, because I've tried to get it working before and failed. It actually belongs to my mother, from her days of paying people to scan old family photos, and it's been sitting in my closet for more than a year since then.

Anyway, it totally works and it's actually pretty good, at least compared to my incedental-era models, which sucked the balls of the clown. It's a Epson PERFECTION 1670. PERFECTION.

Whatever. It scans. I scanned some pages of my sketchbook. Now I will post them. What glee!


This is from a statue in the Chicago Institute of Art that I greedily photographed because I dug the hair so bad. It's inked really poorly but, you know, I'm still getting used to inking.


Another statue. I dunno.


Here's Leonardo from TMNT. He's practically neon because I don't have enough green markers. Also his head is huge, but ignore that. I got carried away.

Okay no more.

I think my scanner is a worse model of the same line as yours. It says PERFECTION on it too. 83

Sketch love!! I have inking envy whenever I look at your wonderfully complete sketches. The statues are damn cool, and look like they are going to start running around. Crazy.

Good lord, Jess, thank you for commenting on this. It's like, the only stuff I've drawn and posted in a hundred years or something. I'm insecure! But now I feel better, and I'll go feed my dog.

Not that I wasn't feeding my dog until somebody commented. Just that, you know, I'll be doing that after I do this.

Pleh.
