The lack of posting is not due to any technical or connection issues, as have often been my bane. It's purely internal issues driving my mind deeper into the cave.
A nod of Thanks to the Mindbender for poking with a stick. Going to try to rope the brain and see if we can't drive it to one of the many posts awaiting.
In the meantime, i finally poked my head out to gaze around like some off-season gopher. On the local front, down the hill from the cave -
Congratulations to Spokane, Washington, for voting to embrace trump's America - choosing to support Fear, Hate, Evil, and Personal Greed, not to mention deciding to let Outside Money buy your future. I can't wait to hear the whining when you have to live with (and in) the results.
I'm confused about the big uproar regarding big name directors and such decrying the nature of Marvel movies. Why are people getting upset about a story you've seen a thousand times before?
"Old Guy Says We Did It Better In My Day"
Relax, folks. That's the nature of things.
By the way - there is some good coming out of the peripatetic mind's current meanderings. Things are finally getting set up again for a fresh batch of paintings in the near future. It's been far too long, so maybe we'll see some soon. Since it's nice to have a picture of some sort on the post... part of what it's been up to is building, or rather re-building, a few actors for future works. Eileen is the hero of that game i've been tinkering with, if one chooses the female character option. The male option is her brother Ben. Whichever one you choose, you automatically kill the other in the process - You Monster!
(Well, the backstory demands it)
Anyway, here's how the model for Eileen is looking currently:
I've currently been focused on face & body shaping - skin tones and textures will follow. She may seem familiar, likely having appeared in some artwork previously posted on this site, or in the back room. As i said, i've been rebuilding actors created previously in the old software.
And i've been zoning out for hours at a time, and catching old episodes of Bob. You remember that one, right? Bob Newhart as the artist who created Mad Dog is brought in for the modern comic revival and teamed up with a hotsnot trendy young writer back in the early '90s? It's the show that taught us just how very short Jim Lee is, especially when you stand him next to Mark Silvestri.
Oh, yeah - that episode also had Jack Kirby, Sergio Aragones, Mel Lazarus, Bob Kane...
So i'm sure you all remember that one, right?
Okay, i've rambled and proven that something in my shape is still here. Now maybe i can ride this beast into a post tomorrow. We'll see.
Oh, and, by the way again -
We did it better in my day.
Geezers gotta say what geezers gotta say.
I'll try to let you know if it makes me feel any better.
