And yet even more Trek art

[tripperfunster]

I had two hours to kill today, while my kids were at Sylvan Leaning Center. They're both a tad behind in their reading skillz, so we thought we'd give them a little boost before school starts. Anyhoo, I reach into my art bag and guess what? NO REFERENCE PICS! WTF? I always have tons, but not today. Then, out of my watercolour pad falls a screenshot from nuTrek, so hey. I draw it.

Not a very inspired pose, but way more fun that reading Women's Home Weekly or whatever dreck they have to read there.

I sketched and inked it there, then watercoloured it at home. Just for shits and giggles, here's what they both looked like.




I'm still not where I want to be, skill-wise, but I had lots of fun with different techniques, like wet on wet *wink*, lifting and using a spray bottle.

haa! Thank you! :D

Ah Sylvan, bane of my existence.

They're pretty good, actually. Your kids are bright and well behaved. They'll be out of there in no time, and the program is excellent.

Your trek is fantastic. I like the bg colouring actually. It's just neat.

Why do you assume my kids are bright and well behaved? ;)

Actually, when we first went for the assessment, I literally had to drag Harry in, kicking and screaming. So I went to the age old parenting trick, beatings bribery. I promised him a playstation if he finishes the two weeks. Needless to say, his attitude re-adjusted itself quite quickly. (I probably would have eventually bought him one anyway, but don't tell him that)

As for the artz, thanks! I like the bg too. It seems very ... ninth circle of hell-ish. You know, the one you go to for buttsexing too much.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Haahahahha, look, all I know is that the kids who were always ill behaved had parents who were...less involved? in their kid's lives, and that ain't you.

In Harry's defense, that assessment is a bear. I gave a lot of them, and they take for like, EVER.

Well if anyone deserves to go to hell for too much buttsexing, it would be James Tiberius Kirk.

The colour is really lovely, but I think the best part about this is that it really really looks like Quinto!Spock. I think Zach Quinto has one of those faces that is difficult to replicate (or maybe it's just me), but you did it beautifully.

Thank you! Actually, it's the EVIL Chris Pine that is the bane of my existence. He has an oddly ill defined face, and as beautiful as it is, it is hard to pin down in a drawing.

Quinto I find much easier.

Beautiful!

And I love reading about your process! (I think you're fab btw - but I find it fascinating to get insight into how you view your own work)

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Aw, thank you! I too, find it super interesting to see how artists and authors arrive at what they do. I'm glad I'm not boring the pants off everyone. :D

I always love your pics. (and I have had lovely compliments on the one you made for me, I hung it right in my front hall.)

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Thank you! That's so funny that it's in your front hall. Most of my art isn't 'hallway friendly.' :D

[chocolate-frapp.livejournal.com]

well, it's not like me and House are naked in it or anything....

[xterm.livejournal.com]

You are such a natural!!! Love it!!

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Ha! i don't know how natural I am, but thank you!

BTW, i went to that sandwich place you recc'd in San Fran and it ROCKED MY WORLD! i want to go back there and eat again. Sadly, I live in Canada. :(

[chocolate-frapp.livejournal.com]

I wish I had known you were in the Bay Area, I live there! I would have loved to meet you and play tour guide!

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

I was there for Azkatraz, mid July.

I didn't really do anything touristy, just hung with my HP peeps. it was FUN!

[chocolate-frapp.livejournal.com]

I could show you the cool places we locals know that the tourists don't. Glad you had fun!

Very nice! I love their eyes! :-)

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Mmm eyes, the windows to the porn soul. ;)

Hehe, they're facing each other. UST about to be resolved or just another argument? *fantasizes*

I like the hair and the differences in skin colour especially. :D

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, I love 'resolved' unresolved sexual tension! :D

Thanks for looking!

[meri-oddities.livejournal.com]

Oh, very well done!

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm still brand new to watercolour, and even though this turned out well, it's still not what I wanted.

WHY CAN'T I JUST BE GOOD AT EVERYTHING THE FIRST TIME I TRY? *sulks*
