Life Drawing at the Post Office

[tealin]

All drawn during the long poses at life drawing ... the best time for doodles.

	Moist stares at Tiddles under the sorting engine, realising with growing terror what must be behind him. I read that scene on the way to the school and it made me so giddy I started boarding it ... you'll see the results of that when I have more time to sort out thumbnails. This pose took three or four tries to get right.
	Some 'thumbnails' (they're actually about 7 inches high) for Moist whirling around to stake Gryle...
	He misses the important bits. Mr Gryle kindly notifies him of this.
	Miss Dearheart holds her own in the Mended Drum, thanks to her paradoxically practical footwear. She's looking rather like a character a friend of mine designed way back when that I struggled to figure out ... well, it's worked now. Must look up my old reference stuff.

Oh, wow! Thanks for going back to "Going Postal!" I love your drawings from the story and wondered how you would draw the Mended Drum and Banshee fight scenes. You capture the emotions really well. And, considering you did them as doodles- wow!

I doodled these scenes out, too, some time back. (I do this at work while waiting for files to download or in the lunch room) They are not even 1/4 as good as yours. I HAVE to take some art or comic book drawing classes. Yeesh.

The Pretty Lucretia scene with the drunk at the Mended Drum
(influenced somehow by Betty Davis and ladies at the pubs in Reykjavik who dress to impress (terrify :-) (?)

A way too Marvel comic Banshee fight straight from the Amazon Rain forest! (I think I had just watched "Metropolis" so poor ole Moist looks a bit like Freder Fredersen there!
