Wapsi Square Forum

Well, I broke down and got a Deviantart account. I posted some stuff. I liked your stuff dinkyinky and enjoyed looking at your Deviant account. Here is mine, Wdot was taken: http://steeldustrider.deviantart.com/

Also looking forward to laughing Atomic! I won't tell you to hurry up, because you can't rush art, but I am waiting patiently.

Awww, thanks! Those were a couple of quick doodles, then I thought, what the hey, and inked them. Feel free to give em the old razzle-dazzle of colour if you like. I misplaced my Wacom charge cable, so I can't do any 'puter colouring, and if I get out my Watercolours, my son will /yoink them and not get his work done.

Picky, picky, picky...

What! I'm the one posting pencil art. The last thing I am is picky! >_<

I grumble a lot about DA. But you get a ton of functionality for free. Tough to argue with that!

Well, to be quite honest, I have never sketched a model who was larger than a DD, so it was a bit frustrating, so I figured I'd do a wee bit of fourth-wall breaking while I was at it.
I have a friend I got hooked into Wapsi Square, and they mentioned how Miss M would prolly disagree with me on the usage of scarves, and it snowballed(punintentional) from there.
I'm a DD, leaning toward the next size up, and I use scarves to kind of downplay my cleavage when I dress up.

Atsali ended up being more fun when I imagined her doing the vintage swing ensemble, and I had her dancing in her Chuck's, as they'd be close to the saddle shoes worn back then. I then figured since Miss M was discussing accessories, and Atsali was raiding her wardrobe to see how they looked, when some Swing type music starts playing in the background (and yes, that is actually a tiny section of a real song)...

I see! I think it's generally good when we push ourselves out of the envelope, especially artistically. Even better when it leads to comics! And scarves are wonderful fashion accessories, Xara loves them too...

Wish I could draw people well enough to contribute. The tentacle demon was about as good as I can do currently. Maybe I can get back in the right headspace to do some rescripting once I'm done with a few things.

Well, I often consider it how much embarrassment or disappointment I can stand! ^_^; And I could swear I saw Paul draw some stick figure Wapsi Square? I don't think it was too long ago?!

Dragonaur wrote:And I could swear I saw Paul draw some stick figure Wapsi Square? I don't think it was too long ago?!

Yes, what we know as "Shellyvision". I did do some Megatokyo stick figure fan comics (like Dom's guest stuff) many moons ago but Paul's stick people are fancier.

I never could figure out how the bomb disposal appeared on Shellyvision.

He occasionally does stick figures as "Shelly-vision", and sometimes in other ways and for other reasons.

Lest we forget the first, I think, one...

I colored and inked DinkyInky's excellent sketch. I was given permission to razzle dazzle it. I hope I didn't take it too far. http://steeldustrider.deviantart.com/ar ... -435470951

Her imagining it as they told it to her?

Wow...looking at all the stuff posted here recently is really pushing me to find time to practice actually drawering. My real problem is the absolute frustration of trying to get the pictures in my head onto paper. When I go back over it, it's crude and, and for lack of a better word, unprofessional I can't come back to it until I even out some. (maybe meditation is something to explore)
So much talent is lurking in the shadows of this forum, we need to find a way to encourage the shyer members to cough up some work.

I don't think that's Shellyvision. What we're seeing is the side effects of an older-technology bowdlerizer. Paul had to turn up the gain pretty far to render Monica's cussing into a suitable-for-work version ("fother muck" instead of the original, which I shall not offend your eyeballs by transcribing directly). Unfortunately, those older-design PC ("polite cussing") filters don't focus all that well, and Paul's must have caricatured those other panels by accident.

Sorta like spilling a whole bottle of white-out on your ball-bearing mousetrap, only different.

Mousetraps have balls?

It's cute! The only thing that didn't show up was the messy bun I drew, but I'm really diggin the way it looks without it too. She's very cheeky in colour!

Ah! "Like Heroes" was the one I was thinking of! But I loved the "Sea Urchin" one too! >_< Wow, Dave, you must have all the ep's memorized!

Looks great! It's fun to see all three steps, pencil, ink and lastly color!

Here's a Shelly Vision / Bowdlerizing comic...
