WIP meme (art version)

[gnatkip]

I've seen the "quote a sentence from my WIPs" meme around my flist, and I wanted to play, too.

[ETA: via rexluscus, "Post a single sentence from each WIP you have (or as many as you want to pick). No context, no explanations. No more than one sentence!"]

That's so awesome! I'm intrigued by the paper-airplane-y one...

[gnatkip]

I loved yours! I should edit in the actual text of the meme...

Heh, Ministry of Magic memos are purple paper planes.

Alliteration, I has it.

[rexluscus]

Oh, I get it now! Perfect! *loves*

Drawings are composed of shapes in the way that stories are composed of sentences, but cropping out a shape isn't really analogous to cropping out a sentence.

*Nods* Even if one shows a shape taken from the sequence of laid-down shapes that make a picture, it won't be intelligible like a sentence. Maybe the shape is more like a syllable?

There are so many lovely things here - I'm particularly intrigued by, well, all of them, but the ones I like most are the net of street(?) lights, the snowy field, the paper aeroplanes! The frogspawn(?) soap, the geology cut-away, and wtfbbq, MICE OVER RIO!? :D
What kind of time period are these from?

Excellent point, about syllables! That works.

Haha, it is frogspawn soap! I feel like I've posted that bit before, but I couldn't remember. I think the geology one you're talking about is this. Was to be Hogsmeade for the fringeart January challenge.

Aaaah, Harry thought Europa was covered with mice, and I wanted to do a Google Earth layer of the actual moon, Europa, covered in mice. As you do. So I was trying it out on this earth-at-nighttime layer, and waiting on the software to support more planets and moons. As you do.

They're from... three years ago up through last month.

Oh man, I am seriously hoping Google do that. (I hope you don't end up having to wait too long.) (I am so wanting to see your Europa+mousies, and Google Space? *drool* :D )

WING LEGS

They are; thank you so much!

I almost always use Photoshop for at least part of a piece. The airplanes are actual paper airplanes, heh, that I folded and photographed, then colored in Photoshop, to use as references.

I'm not sure which forest ones you're talking about. #3 is from Photoshop; #8 & #11 are from an online app called Queeky.com which I love. I'd also rec Inkscape (vectors) and ArtRage (approximates natural media). All three of those are free.

These are amazing in an of themselves. The paper planes - why is it so fascinating, but YES. IT IS. The composition?

And the porcupine is bless and the kooky Simpsons one intrigued me as well. Thank you so much for sharing with us, this is incredible!!

[gnatkip]

Eeeeeeeeeeee, thank you for looking! ♥

I remember your Simpsons-drawn-in-your-style. Cutest thing IN THE WORLD.

Dude! I love the paper planes one, just the way you have them scattered on the page, and the light coming in, and I don't know what's going on with the blue grid in receding perspective, but it looks lovely. It's always so cool to see your work, you have such interesting thoughts.

:D :D :D Thank you!
