Punked

Stick a fork in me. I am DONE.

I worked harder on this than I think I meant to, either that or I took the whole thing entirely too personally. It started off pretty badly until I finally bit the bullet, swallowed my pride and pulled up some coloring and texturizing tutorials... which I hated doing because I felt like a monkey reading a dictionary. I'm supposed to do something with this stylus and tablet.... hmm, maybe smash it? That's it! Baboon see, Baboon smash!

Fortunately, I was able to stop myself before those responses fully set in, but I'm still confused as to 1) how I did this and 2) how to duplicate it... which sucks, as I'm actually somewhat pleased with it at this point. No, I'm not about to start dancing over it, (would need a partner for that that I don't currently have at my disposal), but I can't say the end result doesn't, in some small form or another, please me.

So here's me on one of my costuming jags, inspired by the works of my better half, *Puppetcancer. I have a few other steampunk odds and ends sketched, but right now I'm too creatively exhausted from this monstrosity to even CONSIDER scanning anything else for the evening.

Try again tomorrow.
