Cleavage point? Monica's got a wide angle of fire...

...not to mention I am currently reading my son Winnie ille Pu, so the timing is suspect.

Artistically speaking, only two minor nitpicks. Colour her cleavage point, and colour her waist. The white makes it look WIPish.

Eep... I was so focused on coloring Bud and Shelly that I never thought to go back and finish what I had done coloring Monica last time around. Thanks! I'll go back when I get some free time and fix this.

Wouldn't want your wee one to be confozzled!

It's okay. We have been hit with the sick, and I have not been doing much other than feeding and medicating us. He has missed two days of school, and is begging me to send him. He will be even less happy when the doctor makes me keep him home another day or two...

Sorry to hear your family has had the Awfuls, DinkyInky! It's bad enough being sick as an adult... for a kid stuck in bed (or in the house) it's really no fun at all.

Anyhow... I did a bit of cleanup on Monica, and also tried one further idea. I realized that there was one Pooh character who really ought to be present, and was not - Wol. And who, among the Wapsis, would be best suited to take on the role of a wise, inscruitable, and somewhat odd savant? Why, Brandi of course!

So, I overlaid her features on a Great Horned Owl and tried adding it to the picture.

I'm not really convinced it worked... at the size I had to make the owl, Brandi's features don't show all that well, and the mashup may well have worked better without this addition. What do you think?

There is something so wrong yet awesome about that owl.

WIP - Tomorrow's my day off, so I'll be able to fill in some details...

Rather an uncanny boid, isn't it?

YES!! Even better than I imagined.

I presume you are using Paint for drawing this? If you can, give Inkscape a try. It's what I use for all my vector drawing.

Ooh, an Anasazi Siren - clever!

Nah, it's just a quickie done with G.I.M.P.
Here's pretty much as far at I think I'm going with that one. It's too much work for the joke, and I want to explore using existing Kachinas as the base. He was going to get a bow in his left hand and a quiver of large missile-like arrows on his back. I wanted to add the ends of wooden supporting posts at strategic places, but didnt' get that far.
Anyway, here's what I've done for the most powerful weapon in the America's until the Spanish brought over 'El Conquistador!'. (A combiner that uses three sailing ships to assemble) and the DA sketch that it's based on...

Oh. I assumed Paint because of the lack of antialiasing on the edges.

That's still pretty cool even missing the planned details.

Laughs are always worth it.

Atsali is gross.

Good thing they're not using candles...

Yet.

They still need to get home... and you've just pointed out a way for our young flight-capable Siren to implement JATO.

Considering her tendency to leap before she looks, that might not have been a wise idea to introduce.

Nobody's made any art based on the middle panel in All My Fault (the 28th), where Atsali is in a child's pose? Like this.

I'm liking all these. Here is my effort. I can't claim the SXSW pattern as mine it was a Google search, but I colored it. Hope you find it adds to the effect.

Way cool! Also, thanks SO MUCH for planting in my mind the image of this guy duking it out with an enormous wooden Conquistador over a desert landscape.

I don't expect Kath (or anyone else) would appreciate the comparison, but I couldn't help thinking of it...

Well that story has been kicking around since the early '60s. And all versions have an unhappy ending.

I can't think of a punch line that I'd use with a 15 yo...

I like the mash-up, but you might make Kat's head a little darker. At first I was thinking her long haired head was over a golden footprint. Great background as always with your stuff.

I don't know that either of them will last seven days at this rate.

I have long felt that the history of Early American giant robots has never gotten the attention it deserves. Who knows what an errant vimana cell and a mad (like you could tell the difference) Lanthian tech could produce.

I need to go check the timeline to see when Mayahuel went into the demon realm....
