a man with severe autism halfheartedly explaining human sexuality to a parrot

[sanspoof]

Hey, people and person-like constructs, I've I think finished my first series. I guess. I mean, I'm out of clayboard. Anyway, for the greater glory of Juffo-Wup, why not look at a couple of things I painted that are sort of accessible? Poorly composed, perhaps, but I stand by the sort-of-accessible part

I really like the large girl and or small beast one.

[sanspoof]

I think I draw that creature sometimes... maybe I will give him his own painting or something.

The blond girl/beast is perhaps the best composition and color use. I also love her hair, somehow. It's reminding me of some childrens' book illustrator and I can't put my finger on it. A bit like Maurice Sendak's "In the Night Kitchen", perhaps. Or "Outside Over There". Except I really didn't think it was Sendak I was remembering...Tell me, were YOU the inspiration for the large girl/small beast? Because you definitely belong in here somewhere...

I seriously have no idea where that hair came from; it's more or less my default geometric hair. There is probably something I am subconsciously ripping off, though.

Heh, chmmr said the same thing about the last painting. I don't know, I don't think any of them is me any more than anything I make is me in some way. I don't like doing deliberate self-portraits, so circumspect ones will have to do, I guess.

[druidbreeze]

Aaw, why not self portraits? No better test of skill, if you ask me. Also you are your own most patient model.

[sanspoof]

Eh, it's too loaded. I don't like deciding what to emphasize or de-emphasize about myself, because of how much anything I do means. The best I can do is to abstract out almost everything, and it's less pressing then.
If someone else does a portrait of me, then it's their legitimate view, and that's fine. But I don't look at myself in the same way they do, and what's worse, pretty much everything I could do is badly cliched. Body issues!
I think I have a disconnect between me-external and me-internal.

I really like them all! A great deal!

I'm definately going to do a Goo, zusty style, now!

[sanspoof]

I do not know what that would be, but okay! I'm glad you like them.

[monokrol]

Those are pretty awesome. I just like the feeling I get out of looking at the "large girl and/or her small beast" and think the beast looks pretty terrific in the "another girl and her corresponding beast".

[sanspoof]

Thank you!
The red one, that one's beast is the pliers-headed guy I draw sometimes. I think I have three head-shapes (pliers, cone, dog/fox/mouse). Lame.

[monokrol]

dog/fox/mouse? How are those similar? I guess a fox + pliers = dog, and fox + cone = mouse... anyhow... it's all in how you use it. The stuff you do do is still genuinely cool. And cool stuff is better than not cool stuff, in my opinion anyway.

[sanspoof]

Aww, thanks.
(I meant that the critter is sort of a hybrid, headshapewise, of dog, fox, mouse. Sort of. It's kind of vague.)

Eee! I want toys.

[sevencubed]

You've sculpted critters, have you not? These would be lots of fun in the round, methinks.

Re: Eee! I want toys.

It's harder than I'd like it, but, yeah, I've tried sculpting things.
I think it might be neat to try some different materials; sculpey is sort of limiting.
