RIP R40 "Slants"

It's a little overdue though.

I also tried my hand with Acrylics:

I think the R40 Slants may have been my favorite model that operated under the TA. To me they are the most interesting looking ones out there compared to the remaining models still in service (R32,R46,R160...). Plus, what else can draw parallel with the looks of a Cylon Heavy Raider?

You shall be missed.

State of our Stations

Somehow this looks to be the case for our future. People do not like the commercial branding of stations (me included) but unless Government cares about Transit like they do the other "necessities" of life (ie: Sanitation, Fire, Police), Transit will always have to pander to business to gain revenue.

In relation: In the NY Times, there is an article about the recent purchase of Atlantic-Pacific and Flatbush Ave. Stations by London bank Barclays. My reaction: $4 million only?! And this is branding for the next 20 years. Now that probably entails the whole station with Barclays ads, new signs (I sure hope that THEY will pay for the costs of printing new signs) for the entire stations, and possibly announcements that Conductors must make for them (ie: much like the "Top Of The Rock" debacle a few years under Peter Kalikow). To be honest, $4 million to a strapped agency's dealings with the bank just cries desperation to me. What great business negotiation skills! Perhaps with my few dollars, I can buy an inch of adspace or something. One could only hope.

Took about an hour and a half on Corel.

My Day Out.

Very fast and exciting. And I finally got to ride on a Next Generation (Nexgen!) Orion VII. How Swanky.

This took about an hour just about with the usual tools (pen, basic round brush, and broad water brush). I need to experiment a bit more with the other tools. Acrylic next? Hmm.

ETA: Same pic, now with motion blur!... Okay... semi motion blur.

Better, worse?

Twitter Banner v3

Looks good, gotta say.
This was a pretty quick one... can't remember how long, but maybe 20 mins at most? Listening to Phoenix made it seem like it was shorter though.
Pen tool, Corel Painter.

Twitter Bird

Now with a Fail Whale in the background. Swanky!

Took me about 30 mins to do this, using the broad brush/broad round/pen tools on Corel Painter.

Doodle Session: FF7 - Chocobo

Isn't he adorable? Now if only someone would turn him into a deep-fried strip of yummy, it'd be much- much better. Nom! Indeed.

Check out other FF7 related doodles from the session here.

Weird Jellyfish

This doodle reminds me to exercise, lest I end up all jelly in the knees. Sigh.

Bad Bobo [2]

The second in the 'Bad Bobo' series.
First one found [here].

Chauffeur's Room

... aka the Swing Room.
(Or how I would have imagined it to be.)

If I were a Sim...

Whoo Sims 3! And... yeah, it's just me with a Plumbob. I could use one of those. It'd probably be a bit yellow bordering on red though.
