Now this was hard. I REALLY love alternate anatomies, worlds, combinations of all kinds.
Fudgee? I almost gave this to you because that mix, and the ear studs that I almost missed, is REALLY good. I hope you saved that and do more with the base concept. If there is any flaw, it’s that I can’t figure out whether those are wings, weapons hanging, genengineered bone spurs or worn armor. Do something else with those and give him a background and backstory on your thread. That’s too good to end here. I want to see it develop.
Luc? I know you could improve this, and I hope you do. ‘Cuz I wanna SEE! The style mixed realism and cartoon in a way that screams “Luc usually does more consistent styles within his work, this jarred me.” I am guessing that ‘realizing’ the speaker rather than ‘cartoonifying’ the rest would make a better piece. The more-developed story concept and the laugh it gave me is what won this contest. Take it away, Luc.

[Herr D]

Yes, Kaylin. Very nice background. Was that fence made of the mirror frame? You sneaky little genius, you!

[Herr D]

Ouch. Ouch. OUCH!

That was a rather tender bit of pride breaking. I have just become unemployed. Truth be told, I never liked the job or most of the people there–they weren’t very nice to me. But I’m in rather a pickle for losing it. Among all of you who’ve seen my work, know anything about the way I think, etc. >>1. Do you have any notion of what I should do for a living, because I’ve never known. 2. Do you know of such opportunities in the Northern Virginia area?

I couldn’t keep my head down low enough, apparently.
I guess I should mention the two things I’m incompetent at: cleaning and selling.

[Herr D]

Wow. Thanx, guys. I forgot to mention I titled that pic “World’s Oldest Comic Strip.” Of course, Myro, you’re probably right. Some cave paintings might qualify. Lucky the caves can’t be boxed up after all.

@Fudgee: I’ll be happy to accept such a gift. You might also post it on the Poses section of the Custom Archive. Maybe it wouldn’t hurt to start a thread there for alternate anatomies?

@Trekkie: You mentioned details–do you think detail on the vase on the woman’s head is plain enough? It was too small for me to be sure. I intended it to look like another 3-line comic strip, but the best image I could get was very tiny and far from complete.

[Herr D]

My thread? I’d welcome it. It might be better to post it to the Poses thread. There are occasionally people besides me who may want it. It’s a good source for all us laz–I mean, uh, busy people who don’t have enough time to reinvent the wheel EVERY time.

[Herr D]

Hey-hey! More than good enough. Neat. I just have a morbid love of things with alternate anatomies because I’m somewhat alienated from the human condition. Like your Shade–excellent. Inner ear problems may help people look at them longer without puking. Keep up the good work, and feel free to copy the crack effect onto skin to see if you like for roughness: Patterns, just mask it to an Insignia. Do it LAST. It does slow things up. And thanx for the compliment on my vase!

[Herr D]

. . . before hm3, there was ordinary digital art, before that, comics were on paper, before that, papyrus (?) [shading was impossible on that,] before that–well?

awhhh! More baby conjoined ogre twins! Double the cuteness–double the damage!

[Herr D]

Marilyn could get MORE nods. Keep the blue and make blue panties. One of her superpowers would be the wind lifts her skirt to distract villains. Her natural tendency to throw both fists down would become ‘hammer’ blows to the head of the villain looking down. Another superpower would be she winks at him and the wind from her eyelid knocks a villain straight on. Side attacks? Hip thrust or sudden blowing kiss of poison gas . . .

[Herr D]

I’d like to see another deformation on the side with the small head (in torso or on arm?) and maybe some skin roughness, blemishes, etc. Great start and I like the twin differentiation.

[Herr D]

Awh, man! If you were going to pose for a self-portrait, couldn’t you AT LEAST have brushed your tail?!

[Herr D]

Yah, it does look like the knees are pointed wrong. If you want them pointed that way, maybe show some extra tendons or an extra joint behind it?

[Herr D]

The Agreement was actually remarkably simple. All leaders benefit from their peoples’ greatness, so they must suffer for their peoples’ suffering. Once every year, a random sample is chosen by computer. The people selected are required by law to provide information on their tax returns, recent employment history, whether they have received governmental assistance, whether they have been through natural disasters, victims of crime, etc.
Every hundred thousand law-abiding citizens who have had their lives improve drastically and have a high opinion of the leader becomes worth one week added to the term of office. Every hundred law-abiding citizens who have had their lives change for the worse in any way that the government contributed to is worth one subjective minute of pain at a single pain level. Up to three pain levels at a time may be felt. The pain is delivered by direct input. Lasers are tuned to nerve frequencies to activate the electrical signals in the nervous system. The result is the memory of pain with no physical damage. No leader going through this Vote of Confidence has ever had a psychotic episode or died of heart failure. A surprising number of them have retired from office and sought therapy.

The random sample is only one million out of the thirteen billion people on Earth. But the Prez is given no warning of how much pain is coming.

[Herr D]

Johnny Mindbreaker looks much better. I think you won him. Yah. That’s easily enough improvement to say he’s yours. Thank you.

[Herr D]

Ideas for improvement? Bloodstains on garb, sword. Shield dents?
