Artwork: sneak preview

[strangetomato]

I just dropped by The Box Factory to see if my significant other had posted anything new, and I caught a glimpse of some familiar silhouettes in his latest page of drawings, so I thought I'd share.

Warning: There are drawings of nekkid wimmins on this page too. That's why it's called "Figgers" (aka "figures").

I'm probably a little biased, but I just love his titles. He posted a drawing of some local houses (there are some pretty wacky looking shacks there) and called it "Banal Probing", which made me laugh for hours on end. Maybe it's less funny if you haven't gone to art school, and haven't had to endure as many (dead serious) conversations about "the banal" as I have.

Can you spot the work in progress?

I really liked the house drawings, and I giggled at the comic strip where the little dude who reminds me of a Fairy GodParent makes a disgusting sandwich for Azrael (LOL). That's the kind of conversation my sisters and I have now and then (Kraft vs French mustard, or why the cheap yellow one tastes better than the expensive dijon one :P). The smell scrabble sounds like a cute game too (I'd play it! :D).

It actually took me a while to notice the work in progress! :P

The little Fairy GodParent guy is Dermot, the dermoid cyst. :P Gross, huh? He's one of those weird little growths that people sometimes get that can have human hair, eyes, and teeth in them, among other things (oh, the joys of nature). He and Azrael (I don't have to tell you what he is, right? LOL) are both jerks, and then you have Hearty, the nice guy (and there's also Dr. Grey - the "brainy" guy *snicker*). Poor Hearty has to put up with a lot from those guys.

Yeah, I'd play that smell game too. It sounds like fun. :D

I saw the final sketch for the drawing yesterday. It's a lot like that rough, but there's more specific detail in it. The characters look quite different from his other version of them. Phi looks really nice this time, most notably. I really like it, and can't wait to see it inked up and coloured.
