Artist's Comments

For elendraug, who inadvertantly dared me to attempt this. Don't blame me. Blame her! Blame herrrrr!

Ahem. Anyhow, yeah. Attempt at drawing Shirtless Zaphod (forgot the glasses! oh well) in under... two hours. Mental note: "Yellowed Orange" prisma marker is not used for drawing blondes. Anyway, this is kinda I guess my best attempt at how I envisioned him. The books do call him a blue-eyed blonde, so I go on that. Silly TV series. And, uh. I, like most other fans of the big Z, imagined him pretty good looking. Well, good looking for my butchered art abilities, anyhow. Carry on.

Yeah, Ashe/Robin, I know you said to draw men with clothes on. Does a towel count? ::big grin::

...I personally like the big grin that the right side's offering. Oh, and resisted the urge to hint at how the president of the galaxy might be endowed. I'll leave that to imagination. ^-^

prismacolor pencils and markers(finally learning to use em...) and a bit of levels adjustment in PSP. No, I am not at the point where I can handle backgrounds.

xD That is too awesome. *luffs* Don't blame me -- blame Canada! *shifty eyes* I love the forty-two on the towel. X3 Hehehe. *imaaagines* *sick perverted freak* *waves a flag and abuses asterisk usage* At least you figured out how to do the collarbone(s). ^_^;

The Prismacolor *resists urge to put a "u" * looks good. I must get some of these markers instead of the crappy Crayola kind.

*applauds and continues abusing asterisk usage* Well done, my friend. *attacks the screen and ergo breaks her laptop*

Color, colour, whatever floats your boat. I use both, really. Sometimes in the same sentence. ^-^

Eeee, nice! ^-^ Hm, two heads.. I wonder if he's got a second pair of heads. Ehh? Ehhh? ...Okay, I'll shut up now. :rofl: ^^;

Hee, anyway, great job!

Ooh, like that sentence? xD *dance* A hazy cushion of ionized atoms floats my boat, actually. *is a loser for semi-memorising the book*

Asterisks: AAAAAAAH!11!1!!

*kills the asterisks* ^^

Ah, the ultimate question... wait. If the ultimate answer is forty-two... Oh, God, stop me now.

"find yourself
ya' darkest enemy
given up on what you thought you'd be
plans were made
nothing's really changed
be planning on one thing
you're loved just the same

when it all comes 'round
everyone's someone
when it all comes 'round
everyone's someone

kinda look old
like a man with everything
give it all for something real
no you can't take it with you
nothing's forged, nothing's new
do i imagine being you
maker of the rain
lets it fall the same on me and you

no matter who you are
no matter where you run
no matter what you do
what you're going through" - Newsboys
