My niece has a little studio/gallery in Brighton on the sea front which she shares with a bunch of other arty types. She must have had a lucky bang on the head because she has started drawing fantastic insects.

Oh, whereabouts? I might go take a look...

It's interesting stuff.

I'm working on a Dredd strip for Zarjaz currently that heavily features high speed vehicle battles and I built models to help choreograph a lot of it (only after, it must be said, much soul-searching as it still somehow feels like cheating; it's ridiculous how there's a temptation to compartmentalise skill-sets). Anyway, the results relay the action far better than I could've done without.

It's probably an odd point, but I really like the welding on the pipes.

Here's an upgrade on a Hot Dang Doodle, while I'm here;

Tonight's Lovecraft-inspired thingy;

I will fight you on this, Owen!

I'll only count that as a single vote.

Your move

Worth 15 points?

Thought not...

In the interests of something or other;

1 - SKD - Mortis (obviously)
2 - Steven Austin - Dark Judges
3 - Neil McClements4 - Fear
4 - Neil McClements1 - Mortis
5 - Fiona Boniwell - Nausea

HM - SKD - Mortis (tee-hee)

I feel this needs redressing a bit...

1 - SKD - Mortis
2 - SKD - Mortis
3 - SKD - Mortis
4 - SKD - Mortis
5 - SKD - Mortis

Best thing ever.

I will fight you on this, Owen!

the non-scrot pic made me laugh too. That breast must be totally photoshopped!!

Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you. It was my wife's, um, concept, and I was worried no-one would get it. This makes me feel much better.

I should have said 'that tail is photoshopped' - might have made more sense!

Oh, now I get it! Leonia told me about the photo that was the inspiration for the pic - wouldn't have got it otherwise! Great pic, by the way, as is the first one!

Thank you all.

It initially bore the slogan, "Break the nest!", but we decided that was, well, a bit shit.

On another note, that Death pic is just all kinds of awesome.

Given the incredibly generous and lovingly crafted offerings here this "card" now feels a little underwhelming, but heartfelt and genuine Christmas wishes to you all!



(By contrast, here's the one the nonscrots are getting;)



And Grud bless us, every one!

Jon- Is that a ref to 'Oh brother, where art thou?'

If so, I don't get it...

So, Richmond, is Rogue a Dapper Dan man?

That's a great job you've got there.

I've found four. I think. Dubious about one of 'em.

It's all starting to hurt now...

Albion, I love that you kept the ears on the model. 

More card art: Warship.

I think because you (at least I) tend to work on variously scaled versions of artwork, I've never found accuracy to be a problem.

But that sounds like a great idea. Maybe stick with it for a week. When I went from Intuos to Cintiq, and despite having a background in traditional media, I found the change surprisingly jarring at first.

Probably depends what you're used to, and anything new can take a little time to adapt to, but I tended to go for smaller models in the past and used the Intuos A5 equivalent with a couple of 24" monitors happily enough for around a decade or something.
