chomijiThis is all telophase's fault, because she made me remember that I had done these once upon a time (ca. 1978 or 1979, as an undergrad at U.Va.).
The male model I was boasting of (the one I said could play Cho Hakkai) ... yes, he does have feet, and I can even draw feet, more or less, but he was standing on a gym mat, and his feet sank in:
I was not pleased with this one and took vengeance by transforming him into a rough facsimile of the Sub-Mariner:
Yes, we had female models too ... why do you ask, young Grasshopper?

(I have a second Bachelor's from UMUC-UMD, B.S. in Computer and Information Sciences, ca. 1995 or so.)

I'm glad you enjoyed them! I was never a great artist - the best drawings I did in that class were bones. I rocked at drawing bits of the human skelton!

Totally a coincidence! This was 30 years ago! (Either that, or the Man Upstairs has an even more bizarre sense of humor than we ever imagined ... .)

I figure you will be pleased with the divider bar I made for The Story (hmmm, it may be too wide for this point in the layout here):
(maile)
Date: 2008-11-07 03:43 pm (UTC)No, I don't think I did smell the real deal. (C&E keep discontinuing things I like - I loved their green, transparent Ginger Twist soap. Pretty much the only thing I buy from them these says is the Avocado triple-milled soap.)
Maybe these guys could be persuaded to make a maile-scent? They have several Pacific-influenced scents.

It's the bit that runs across his cheek, reduplicated and half of the duplicated bits "mirrored" on the horizontal axis in Photoshop, and then all joined up and the joins smoothed out.)

That has to have been at the ISP place ... Andrew had some wacky stories about his early days at UUNet too.

Date: 2008-10-31 11:17 am (UTC)Awww, thanks! As I was telling avierra, my best drawings in that class were of bones ... I was better at those than at the live people!

Date: 2008-10-31 11:22 am (UTC)My work for that class was such a mixed bag! I pulled an A on projects that involved bones and still life elements, but only B on the actual people and on the anatomical muscle drawings. It wasn't until the end of the semester that I began to get what the teacher was driving at. I give him full credit - he was sure I could do it, and spent lots of extra time working with me on how to shade the muscle masses and so on.
