A GELFLING'S BROKEN PROMISE

I bought myself the DVD of The Dark Crystal some months ago. I haven't watched it yet, as I don't have a television. What I remember when I first watched it in the cinema was that it wasn't immediately apparent to me who were the good guys in this film. Those gelflings didn't seem trustworthy. It was something to do with the speed that they ran. It seemed supernatural to me, watching on that big screen. They had something to hide. And though I was used to puppets, with the Muppets Movie being a quality film [as is most things muppets], I couldn't figure out what was going on with these creatures. They were too thin to be people in suits [or were they? *wink wink*], and unlike the Muppets, you couldn't see the 'strings'. It didn't help that they had those freakish long fingers. What is a young boy to think?

This drawing is old [from last year], I finally managed to get some interest in finishing colouring it. Mainly because I'm ill. Erm, so blame that on the quality also.

INTENTIONAL PLAGIARISM

This was done some time last year [2006]. Was checking out the trial version of Painter. That ended after 60 days, but I had only saved it in Painter's native 'riff' format. Finally got to a computer with Painter on it so I exported as a photoshop psd, which I knew to work with Artrage. I was thinking of putting a backdrop in there, but I decided to leave it as-is. I did have to erase some spillage that occurred in the conversion to psd. I think it might have been a mask that doesn't get imported\exported correctly between formats.

It's good to see some old work, at least it shows I'm making some progress with my painting techniques [albeit not much progress]. Strangely the inking seems to be better than what I do these days. Not sure. I think I was using pastels for colouring. Possibly oil pastels. Used to do some pastel and oil pastel stuff with 'real' materials. Thought I was quite the hotshot, till one fateful day I saw the work of some girl on the course I was doing, which completely blew away anything I had done with pastels. So naturally I resented them after that point. hehee! Can't remember how I did those tears, but I sure do like! The whole thing is a bit pixelated though

Oh yeah, this frog is from a Ren and Stimpy cartoon. Phew, narrowly avoided litigation there. Oh, I didn't take credit for the character, that means it's no longer plagiarism, and that makes this whole post a SHAM!
