tripperfunsterUrhG! lakkwlke;ovkj;lvksjdfsr!! So. Damn. Frustrating!
I sort of love how this turned out and I sort of totally fucked it up. I need to be more patient, instead of scratching off too much all at once. His poor nose might never recover. *sniff* My poor Bill.
There's a few other people that I'd love to draw, but I'm having a hell of a time finding good reference shots of them. (Good meaning dramatic lighting and/or pose.) Lots of typical hollywood head shots, but I'd really like to do something more interesting.
Speaking of interesting ... Does anyone know of some good Oz (as in Oswald prison) fic out there? I'd happily read anything, but am specifically intersted in Beecher and or Shillinger.
Cheers!
Oh, I meant to add, my 9yo son got in trouble at school today for saying the 'C' word.
He tripped, and said C*** and one of the kids ran to the teacher and ratted on him for saying the 'C' word. The teacher was skeptical that little Harry said 'cunt' so she gently coaxed the stool pidgeon to tell her what the 'C' word was.
Crap. The word was crap. :D

Also try people of different ethnic backgrounds and weight. (no sports figures unless kaber toss champs)
Fanfiction.net has a variety of fanfic. See if they have an oz fic there.

Generally, when I'm drawing a face, I have to spend 3 to 9 hours staring at it. I prefer them to be grisly and interesting, or unbelievably sexy. ;)
I did check out ff.net. Thanks. I found a few here on lj, but they're all in Italian! :D

The second (this one) is Bill Murray. A real fantasy of mine, but alas, not part of my rl.

Date: 2012-01-17 05:19 pm (UTC)As for the swearing ...? I have no idea. My kids have known pretty much all the swears for years. (We've gone to numerous rock concerts, where we must have heard the word FUCK about a bajillionzillion times.)
I guess because they're not secret, my kids don't have the need to use them? We don't swear around them, but we don't get all sanctimonious about it either.

Date: 2012-01-17 05:20 pm (UTC)hatingloving the scratchboards. I seem to be at a 50/50 ratio of success. I've done two that weren't even postable, and two that I'm really happy with.Live and learn, I guess! And yes, I have plans for a nice Snape. I just need a good ref shot.
As for the swearing ... Yeah. Some people are pretty sheltered, I guess!

Date: 2012-01-17 05:23 pm (UTC)I think I've pretty much succeeded. ;) I took on the name Tripper that year, and have never looked back.
Funny story, a few years ago I was browsing in the movie store and saw that film, so I picked up the DVD to have a peek at the notes. I was totes gobsmacked that Tripper's last name was Harrison. I didn't know that, yet named my kid Harrison anyway! how cool is that? ;D

Date: 2012-01-19 05:36 am (UTC)That's okay, I can wait a week.
I'd actually love to read a good dub-con between Beecher and Shillinger, because I'm a sick fuck like that.
