Hello fellow humanoids and Zed <reminder: if you drop a body part please let the front desk know. Last week we found a rotting human tongue someone left on the mezzanine)
-----------------------------
So I've been having all kinds of 'modern problems' of late.
The other day I paid $5.70 a gallon for gas. In March it was 3.49 — and in December 2020 it was 1.88. I put $55.00 in and it didn't even fill my tank. Grrrrrrr
I spent a month trying to get my Doctors office to refill a prescription. I left a number of messages and spoke to his assistant several times and even had a conference call with my insurance company and his office. It wasn't until I insisted on speaking with the Office Supervisor that my Dr's assistant FINALLY took care of it — THAT SAME DAY!!
I was having trouble with my internet and called for repair. They kept saying they'd send a tech and I had to be here. Then they kept cancelling and closing repair tickets. I musta called a dozen times and used their chat feature at least that many times over ALMOST a month before it was finally repaired. Oh — and one time I waited on hold and HOUR AND A HALF!!
I could go on but I'm boring myself with it. If you've ever read 1984 or seen The Hitch-Hikers Guide to the Galaxy (not a great movie) or Brazil (weird but OK) — our world has become just like that. Endless red tape and bureaucracies. harrumph
-----------------------------
Ok — so you came here for the art not all that junk.
Just finished another old one I started AGES ago — and I used a lot of Darkiste's ideas from my last painting (thanks again Dark).
It's 40 X 28" — so something like a 16:9 aspect ratio.
I gathered 100s and 100's of reference images — and here are a few I used:
The copyright remains with the original owners — if you'd like me to add a references or link — or remove your image — please let me know
Here are some 'detail' close-ups
I'm a little fried on this one — but I'd be interested in feed-back — even if I don't apply it to this one I will 'go to school' with any ideas y'all have.
Thanks for stopping by.
Ciao fer now
