"Back again."
 
   LAST EDITED ON Dec-24-08 AT 03:47 PM (EST)
 
I keep letting my account lapse. I guess it's due to a multitude of factors.

Anyway. The reason I've come back.

I was looking through an old sketchbook when I came upon this bit:

EDIT: Forgot to mention, it's all Lenneth. /EDIT

'Ugh,' I thought. 'I drew this badly? Wait, of course I drew this badly, I still draw this badly at times. Usually when I have no idea what I'm doing.'

I flipped the page and remembered how inordinately proud I was of this picture:

Not that I remember ever posting it for perusal.

Anyway, I wanted to post the casual picture, but I wanted to have the battle uniform thing up, too. 'I can't submit that piece of carp,' I thought. So I came to the brilliant conclusion of redrawing it. 30-40 minutes of furious scribbling and inking later, a somewhat improved picture:

I'm not entirely happy with the feet/legs, but I can't have everything, I suppose. The uniform is based on Lindt's battle uniform. The original sketches were drawn... at least 3 years ago, I don't remember when. All in all, I guess I really like the casual picture best.

P.S. The various tags are still a pain in the arse. :p
EDIT: Why do the linking tags only work if the URLs have only one quote? /EDIT

DCF can't really handle linking with thumbnails - I'm actually quite impressed that you got it to work at all. Usually we have to trick it into thinking it's processing a CGI script just to link an image without any inlining, much less with a thumbnail.

That would be because he linked to the autothumbnail Imageshack creates when you upload an image. So it pulled the image as usuall, but because the image reference pointed to the thumbnail instead of the full sized image in the link....

Ooo, and its a trick of perspective, I know, but one end of that sucker looks a lot more pointy than most wrenches. I bet it would HURT to get stuck by it. Not that getting the closed end whapped over the head would be any more pleasant or anything....

Of COURSE you wernt
expecting it!

Battle Wrench(TM)! It "fixes" your enemies.

Thanks to Star Ranger for explaining. Also, link:url"|image.jpg (surrounded by the usual brackets) seems to bypass something or other to make the image a link. Took me a good hour to figure it out via tinkering.

I don't think I've seen it before, but I quite like it.

Nice!

Always good to have you back.
