Description Escher Griffin. Compulsive artist. Stripe-wearer. Knuckle-cracker. Incurable optimist. Free-thinker. Collector of stuff. Fan of obscure Japanese OST music. Thrill-seeker. Lifetime supporter of Converse Inc. Therapy survivor. Cat owner. Posse member.

hee and don't ask me why she's wearing goggles. when an emergency comes up and you gotta fling yourself off the nearest rooftop onto whichever eight-limbed method of transport happens to be passing, you don't want to end up with half a mayfly laminated across your eyeball.

escher's my first and always a sure fire cheerer upper whene'er i write or draw her. for these reasons i like her a lot, and enjoy giving her a life just as much as she enjoys living it.

even though she stole my shoes. and here's a tip, esch, next time you pose for me, get the paint off your schnozz first.

escher griffin is © me. i actually had more fun drawing this than anything i've tried to draw lately, possibly because of the slightly different style and all the extra chunk i tried to add. cuz of this i was thinking of attempting the whole octoposse like this. if i have the time.

How did I manage to miss THIS?

I love her! She's great!

Oh, good ol' Escher. We love you even more in goggles, my dear.

"....whichever eight-limbed method of transport happens to be passing...."

Are you implying that there's more than one in NYC?

She has such enthusiasim for life! I wonder what flavour the paint of her nose is?

Totally wicked grin, sleek fun style.. it's just awesome, really.

And you actually have shoes like that? Those are sweet. Did you buy them with that design, or customize them to your liking?

[link] they're not so chunky really tho. sigh. i really have to ditch them now, the back's come right away from the sole.

^--^ thenkyew. i drew the faces with ink and such. they've been remarkably resilient.

i doubt i'm saying anything original here, but i really admire the style of this piece. just the gigantic zip and the fat rings on the sketch pad. the neat sun-glare effect on the goggles and the half-crazed grin... it's a very fun drawing.

*bing* Wow, she's both adorable and kickass! I love her shoes. Although at first I thought that was some kind of whacky gadget under her arm, but then, I was looking at it without full-view and half-asleep. Which I still am, by the way...anyways, both your picture and your description of her are equally entertaining. Gotta love good OCs.

That's one dang kickass coat right there! I see the pinball smile is alive and well . And oh yes please, each Octoposse member deserves such special treatment.

I just realised this made my 50th favourite. A deserving one, too! That's the sort of art style I'd kill for, as you can tell from evolution of my own style.

Halley, I want her coat! Just a question, but does the Octoposse just inclue people from the fanfics..?

Escher's one of the most well-written Spider-man fanon characters I've seen ... and I absolutely love her design. Especially here - the chunkiness suits her, quite well. And I love the zipper.

Skitterklat [2005-06-02 03:14:36 +0000 UTC]

Escher is so wonderful. She's an excellently made original character, one of those rare types where I wouldn't mind reading a story that just had THEM in it, not the canon characters. That's very rare.

Those shoes are awesome.

I love how in her description you give personality descriptions instead of just facts about her. That is so incredible! I love the shading on this, too! OH I am just amazed.

When I saw this...some weird super-hero theme song started playing in my brain... o.O

I love her coat. And those goggles are both fashionable (amongst this crowd) and smart...or something that means they are usable and nifty.

Everybody loves Escher. Even though I'm slightly jealous that one of her best friends has eight limbs.
