SciFi and Fantasy Art: Experiments in Absurdity #1: BeenanaYou know, there are so many pics out there of animal/human, animal/animal, human/plant hybrids, but what about animal/fruit hybrids? Well, why not, eh? Fruit are living things, too. In some parallel universe (one invented by some god for a joke, possibly), there's probably creatures just like this buzzing around. (Impractically, but who cares about practicality anyway?)
Although, it'd make for crunchy pavlovas. And banana-flavoured honey. Yay for weirdness! ^^ ~~*~~ The pale greyish bits are actually where the scanner light reflected off the graphite. Grawr. >.< Extremely annoying. I attempted to edit the worst of the glare out with Paint Shop Pro, but I really can't be bothered with computer image programs (much prefer traditional mediums). I didn't want to mess up the pic entirely by trying to paint digitally over it, so, meh. If anyone knows how to reduce/avoid 'graphite glare' or a quick way to fix it, let me know... Yellow acrylic wash base, coloured pencils and graphite pencils. | |

But this one is really good, seriously. In fact, I believe this is the point where I level a banana gun at your head and threaten you about something of which I have no right to be threatening you about...   Megan ´Angler´ Proverbs replies: "’Don’t use graphite’. Yeah, I figured that out about two seconds after I’d scanned it. >.< Eh, I think it’s just that the paper wasn’t flat, because I painted on sketch paper that buckled. And/or the scanner lid not closing properly because I didn’t bother taking it out of the sketchbook... ^^;
Thanks. I almost didn’t draw it because I thought it’d be too dumb. ^^; But then I was bored, so I did, and it turned out okay, and everyone seems to like it, so it’s all good. ^^
*wields a kiwi-fruit grenade* Aha! A Mexican fruit standoff!
Oh yes? And what would that be? Oh, wait. I was supposed to be drawing you, wasn’t I? Oops. *shifty eyes* Err... ^^;" | |
| 27 Mar 2008 |  Desiree M, Cassidy | This is for sure one of the oddest, most creative things i have ever seen.... *claps* I like it!  Megan ´Angler´ Proverbs replies: "Thank you!" | |
| 27 Mar 2008 |  Kim Schoonover (Darth Maul´s scary sister) | Actually, I was refering to the fact that holy crap that is bloody amazing, and seriously, we both need to have more faith in ourselves. And I have actually forgotten completely about that pic... but now you have remindde me. Whoo... I bet I can presse the button before you can throw your grenade... *presses* *splattage ensues* But anyway, *poke* *poke* *poke* ^^  Megan ´Angler´ Proverbs replies: "Hmm, yes, we do... Okay, I’ll quit insisting I suck if you quit insisting you suck. Agreed?
Oh, damn. >.<
*is bananafied* *drops kiwi grenade which explodes, splattering everyone on the page*
Ugh. I’m really bad at drawing people. Can’t I draw something else, like... one of your kitties? Or a flying toaster? ^^;;" | |

| 27 Mar 2008 |  Theresa Retz | Graphite reflection can be annoying.... I generally play around with my scanner’s settings in the "preview" area before I actually scan the work, but I don’t know if your scanner has that option. Other than that, there’s not much you can do when scanning. I try to avoid it by inking my drawings with black ink and erasing the pencil marks.  Megan ´Angler´ Proverbs replies: "Okay, I’ll try that. Thanks for the tips. ^^" | |
| 28 Mar 2008 |  Natalie Beth Myers | another cool lookin’ fruit! does this banana sting too? ugh. good thing i don’t like eating bananas. LOL. i luv this pic, Megan! =)  Megan ´Angler´ Proverbs replies: "Well it would be an interesting taste sensation, wouldn’t it, lol. Thanks!" | |

| 3 May 2008 |  Kim Schoonover (Darth Maul´s scary sister) | You can’t draw anything else, and I won’t quit insisting that I suck. I think. So how goes the picture, anyway? Any progress? Any at all?  Megan ´Angler´ Proverbs replies: "Er... ah, crap. I’ve been so preoccupied lately..." | |
