I told him black cats were bad luck, but would he listen? Noooo…

25 October 2007 // IF: Grow

Half-assed not-totally-done IF illustration.
I'm trying to get into the habit of actually finishing IF pictures in under a week again. Except i don't have time to finish the picture and finish it well, so… Older Pic to the rescue!

20 October 2007 // IF: Open

"Open" was the theme word for Illustration Friday about… two full weeks ago, i think.
I was slow on this one, but i don't care.

I think, someday, i would like to learn how to work with metal, and build some models of all the little androids i've been drawing lately.

09 October 2007 // The Blues

Originally for the Illustration Friday theme, "The Blues" - it's a bit late.

This is my first time working in this particular style, so it's a little off, but overall i'm satisfied, especially with the robotic "blood."

16 August 2007 // IF: Emergency

I always thought it must be horribly annoying to be a fireman and get called to rescue… a cat.
So, for that oh-so-tragic non-emergency of Fluffy going squirrel-chasing, i present… The Cat-Retriever.
The Cat-Retriever has a touch-sensitive claw which enables it to gently retrieve any sized cat, from a malnutritiouned stray kitten to an obese Persian. Attached to the claw is a small dispenser which sprays out a mild tranquilliser, just strong enough to calm the kitty without needing to worry the cat will lose its grip and fall before the claw picks it up.
Alternatively, you can just set out a can of tuna and wait for the cat to come down on its own.

09 August 2007 // IF: Missing

Okay, so technically nothing's missing. He knows exactly where all his parts are.
Of course, his "girlfriend" will be long gone by the time the maid finds him, and so he won't know where they are anymore… but for now he knows where they are.

26 July 2007 // IF: Poem

I have no idea what the plastic-y thing they are wrapped in is supposed to be. I vaguely remember thinking, "He's absorbing her!" while i was drawing it. So apparently the red thing is part of the guy robot, who is, i don't know, eating the fembot. With his shirt.
Note to self: Get a full night sleep before drawing weird stuff.

This week i kept thinking about, but could not remember the title of, that one Kurt Vonnegut story in which a male scientist falls in love with a female scientist and wins her heart by having their computer write poetry for her, but the computer fell in love with the female scientist while trying to win her for the male scientist, etc., etc.… Come to think of it, i'm not even entirely sure it's by Kurt Vonnegut. All i remember for sure is having watched a short film based on it in my Lit. of Sci-Fi class. So if anyone knows what i'm talking about, leave a comment, because i've been slowly driving myself insane trying to figure it out.
