Description If the inking looks a bit strange today, it's because I've just discovered that inking whilst drunk is actually easier than inking whilst ill (which is my present condition); you know you're not too well when the page starts to swim...

I read a write-up of this coming Saturday's Primeval episode - it said something about Connor trying to create an "anomaly detector". And for some reason all I could think of is something like a cross between Ghostbusters and Typing of the Dead...

This is the first time I've successfully drawn Connor. I was initially a bit ambivalent about his new haircut but... now I know his personality is still the same in the show - and now I find it's a lot easier to draw and make it look like him than the last one - I don't mind it at all.

As to his expression... maybe he's just found some Stephen/Connor fanfic on that laptop, maybe even some Nick/Stephen. ...Can't be Connor/Abby, because then he'd be wearing a huge grin...

Is it just me, or is the laptop floating?! It would have been awesome if this was actually what the anomoly detector looked like. I can just imagine Connor being all like 'I'ma Ghostbuster person!!! " and the rest of the team just rolling ttheir eyes and backing away slowly...

Caria In reply to SparxFlame [2009-10-04 21:50:49 +0000 UTC]

Nope, it's very much not floating. Many years back they remade one of the House of the Dead games to work with the Dreamcast keyboard - basically, you typed in words that appeared on the screen to kill zombies, and the speed and accuracy with which you typed decided how well you killed them.

The best bit was that they redid the graphics so that the characters were no longer holding guns, but were wearing keyboards strapped onto their bodies.

And Connor just really struck me as the kind of person who not only knew about that game, but would have played it to death. And then would have modelled his detector on it.

I like that mental image! You can just see him acting out like the Ghostbusters and Abby just facepalming...

I'm kinda sad that the real anomaly detector didn't look so overblown-ly ridiculous. It looked far too cool to be designed by Connor.

I agree totally! And I've never head of the game, but it does sound very Conner-ish...

Ah, haha, I guess it'd have been better if I found some pictures for you, wouldn't it? XD;;

These keyboards are why the game always looked so awesome, but it's a bit difficult to look cool in them...

...I see what you mean. Very Connor!

Thanks for finding the pictures! I can totally imagine Connor being one of them... except with dinosaurs rather than zombies.

I did some pre-season sketches a while back, mostly of Captain Becker... I'll get around to uploading them soon.

The new season's been quite enjoyable and has definitely given me the urge to draw more. So maybe I'll have some new Connor stuff up soon too!

Connor is adorable~ (but surprisingly hard to draw. )

Connor kinda irked me to start with, but he really grew on me. XD He's so ditzy I think it's difficult not to love him.

I just wish he wasn't so difficult to draw. XD

doyle0915 In reply to Caria [2008-12-31 20:30:51 +0000 UTC]

Yeah me too. Though I love his geekiness!
Though the stupid girl that he likes that only wants to be near him to spy on him annoys the hell out of me, because you know he likes Abby and the bi*ch is getting in the way.
Especially when Cutter's picking on him.

Aww. I love Connor!!!
He's my favourite! And i like Abby when she's with Connor. The two of them are adorable!!
I'm not to keen on Stephen sorry. Especially how he's being so weird with Helen and cause he has a spice girl mug

really good pic. I like the hair.

Connor is very awesome. I think he seems to get the most character development of anyone in the series, and geeky guys are always pretty nifty anyway. I'm a bit so-so about Abby, because sometimes it feels like they give her a plot, and other times it's like she's supposed to loiter in the background doing nothing but look pretty... I definitely prefer it when she's doing cool stuff.

Thankyou, I'm glad you like!

The minute I read "anomaly detector" in the paper, it was just... I mean, Connor in charge of building something? I might be selling him a bit short, but I can't see it coming out looking... normal.

Mine's got to be Stephen. There's so much fun there! I mean, I can pair him with nearly anyone if I feel like it, plus the way he just tends to stare blankly at whatever ancient nasty is coming at him is hilarious. XD; The worms were particularly priceless...

How adorable is Connor! Just as adorable as the real life version! this is wonderful work, ! Well done hunny!

I reckon we need loads more of your Connor art! Ahem...can you possibly guess who my fave character is?

Caria In reply to EndymionDreams [2008-01-18 13:25:10 +0000 UTC]

Haha, well, now Connor has sensible hair, I might start drawing him more.

My favourite character is Stephen, but... so long as Stephen carries on making puppy eyes at Connor, I might have suitable inspiration to draw more of both of them.

Inking.. while drunk? I suppose it is easier.. you did very well, especially on those small lines! I agree with kyliemason above me.. I have seen other primeval fanart recently ^^ Its a lovely change though!

Great job, love the details, your version of him is soo cute~!

Caria In reply to illegal-kitty [2008-01-18 13:27:13 +0000 UTC]

There's a picture a fair while back in my gallery of a Kitsune boy; I inked it whilst I was drunk and it came out well. But then, the paper wasn't swimming around in front of me quite so worryingly then either.

The new series of Primeval has just kicked off here, so that's most likely the reason for it. I missed my fill of random, nonsensical dinosaur action and somehow the DVD of the first series didn't quite cut it like brand new episodes do~

I'm glad you like~!

Caria In reply to illegal-kitty [2008-01-20 16:47:14 +0000 UTC]

Haha, well, I don't really recommend it - a couple of years ago I only just scraped through NaNoWriMo, and when I did I was exceedingly drunk. So much so, that when I read back on what I'd written (8k!) the day after, I... couldn't remember writing the last sections. In fact, the final paragraph, aside from being horribly mis-spelled, was an existentialist rant and culminated in the cryptic phrase "d18" (or something similar).

Imagine that, but with a pen... XD;

Anyway, your stuff is perfectly gorgeous.
