some drawings...

[ratcreature]

So today on the underground I used my time to draw my avatar in some poses for icons I want to have, and I really quite like how the pencils turned out. So I decided to post them before I turn them into their small, cropped icon versions.







I think my favorite is the Scared!RatCreature in the Meeep! one, I like how the slightly catoony body language turned out.

Also, I want to have a Geek!RatCreature, but I have no idea what it ought to show. The problem isn't so much giving it a typical geek look, as that I have no idea what a typical "geek pose" could be, and anything involving computers is out, since I already have my "computer voodoo" and RL? What RL?" icons that both show my alter ego with computers. Any ideas, anyone?

Awww, poor sniffling ratcreature.

Geek-wise, perhaps something like my icon of Babs? It's geeky without involving an actual computer.

Yeah, I would suggest big glasses and maybe a pocket protector. :)

Heh, a pocket protector, good idea. I actually could use one of those for real, considering how often pens ruin my pockets, but sadly I have no idea where things like that might be sold (I never noticed them being on sale anywhere) and have never seen anyone I could have asked using one either.

Cool icon, unfortunately I think code projected on glasses like that wouldn't come across well in the type of cartoony style I use.

You know, perhaps I should do a MadScientist!RatCreature with a death raygun or something like that...
