guggenman - hey man, thx for stoppin by the thread. i actually don't have said crotchrocket quite yet, i have its little brother, but im hoping to upgrade soon, possibly. have to take a license test, which means a good excuse to study japanese, which is always good. i dont like doing a lot of non-human stuff, which is why im slowly but surely trying to do more things that i wouldnt normally do, a la the sword. i forget whose thread i saw it in, but they drew some really intricate door carving in pencil, and that's what i had in mind when i drew the sword. but ill need much more than that. anyway, thx for comin by, hope to see you here again sometime; ill catch you in your thread. take it easy.

Hey man, nice to see you being tenaciously busy again. Your work is still pretty solid, overal, especially the anatomy. What I'd like to see would be some less outlines and more trust in your shading. And make something biiiiiiiiig once in a while

**purb36** · May 5th, 2006, 04:20 AM

faust - thx for stoppin by dude. haha, ive been drawing, just not scanning. but now i have vacation and i gotta find something to fill my day with, so ive been scanning and stuff. had plans to do a bunch of this stuff for awhile, now i have the time to. more shading, more bigger stuff, need to push myself to do that. recent anatomy has been cause i found that i forgot how the torso works. hopefully i can keep up with both. take care dude.

**~Faust~** · May 20th, 2006, 11:33 AM

Your pencil shading gets better and better. Amazing diversity you keep in here, and it seems like you have a blast enjoying life, that's the most inspiring thing! Take care man!

**purb36** · May 24th, 2006, 03:11 PM

faust - haha, thx dude. glad you stop by to see me often; i appreciate it. yep, i am enjoying life; how could you not? its better than being dead. or so i assume. you too take care, and keep drawing tons dude.

so, ive been studying for the driving test lately, i think i went about 3 days without drawing a single line, which seemed like an eternity. anyway, i took the driving test, and...i PASSED!!!

im very suprised, actually. i studied hard and prayed hard. other than that, i cant explain it. this has been a good week.

today's speedy

w'sup now?

**Tetsuo** · May 25th, 2006, 11:48 PM

purb you and I suffer a similar ailment :| one that is impossibly hard to break....

asianus womenus are hottus syndrome....

no no seriously

unclean line syndrome. I have been trying and trying and seem to get somewhere and then go back to nowhere. Do you know what im talking about. Its that jittery line effect while we are sketching.....putting down single lines on their own isnt what we do...i love it and hate it at the same time

I dunno just babbling here.

-TeT-

btw that girl sitting is kick ass...finish it for me will ya

**purb36** · May 26th, 2006, 03:27 PM

tetsuooOOOOOO - haha, less a syndrome than an undisputed fact. but, i am an equal opportunity kinda guy. about the line stuff, while i admire those who can do things with one clean line, i dont always like how it looks when i do it on my stuff. though thats probably just a bad excuse for me to not practice that more. im trying, when i draw from life, to do that as much as i can. i need a lot more practice at it, i know. and thx for babbling; aside from you and faust, its been pretty quiet over here pretty recently. im debating "finishing" the seated girl...i really like it how it is now, and i feel like im starting to find a balance between leaving something not completely detailed in and having it still look nice. or maybe im just scared ill wreck it.

we'll see. anyway, thx for stopping by. you're in the t-dome, right? good luck, man.

due to a NDA on the thunderdome, most of my sketches will not be posted, cause most of them are preparing for the dome, but ill show what i can.

yeah...just DOOOOOOEEEEIT!

**Darktwin** · May 26th, 2006, 03:45 PM
