A Thousand Monkeys on a Thousand Typewriters

[Ataraxis]

Thanks Karu. It's basically the best part about drawing these pictures, for me.

And a bit of an intermission, as I've run into a bit of a time snag for my other incognito requests. I've taken quick pictures of some pencil artwork and a sculpture I've done in a, you've guessed it, arts and sculpture class a couple of years back. Fits in the whole monkeys being unable to reproduce it with a typewriter theme, too. Well, arguably.

First up is what I called the Nuclear Egg, which I carved from a nigh rock-solid block of plaster poured into a milk carton. No exaggeration: my skin tore and my fingers bled on the damn thing.



And here are different angles of it.

As for the picture, it was a project that required the integration of the previous sculpture as a monument or a building in a landscape. Obviously, I had no choice but to draw my own monochrome Yes album with a reference to Beneath the Planet of the Apes, only they worship the Egg instead of a nuclear warhead.



And here are less blurry pictures that couldn't frame the whole piece on account of my early stages of arthritis and a bad case of caffeine withdrawal.

She does look like Liv Tyler now that I see it again, although to be honest, what flicked my switch was that she was (like we all are supposed to be) under Raelyse.

Tough talk for a man that lacks nipples.

It's not so bad, the lacking nipples bit. Brigitte (secondary character on this account) doesn't have nipples either. That doesn't stop her from having friends.



Had to share that. Sorry, Ataraxis, if my MS Paint endeaver lowers the overall quality of the thread. That egg is awesome, by the way. I would love to have something like that sitting on my desk.

[Ataraxis]

I could have sworn I gave Raelyse nipples. They probably got swept off while I added tone to his torso. Either way, nipples are only sexy on women, and Raelyse could have refilled glasses if his had stuck on. Nobody needs to see that.

Oh and don't worry, Jas, it's the norm since Godhand posted his Batmen picture. And thanks for the compliment! I mostly used it as paperweight before, but then there was plaster dust all over my documents. Figured I'd need to find some other use for it.

Also, is that Stephen Colbert or Bob Saget?

I'm fairly sure based on the "friend" comment and the pose it's Stephen Colbert from his "Black friend" picture

Atar, you really make me wish I had more talent than splashing Carmen Sandiego and the cotton candy house on a poorly-done unseaworthy battleship for a round of clues.

I want taleeeeeeent!

I just have to add that the egg is totally awesome and amazing. I have a little glass egg that I've had since I was about 4. I vaguely remember buying it at some quirky art show. All it is is an egg made of red glass with a little gold flourish painted onto it, but I love that thing. It's actually hefty and fun to toss in the air...
