Description *EDIT* this drawing has now been signed by the band! - [link]
_________________________

Keith Murray, from the band We Are Scientists, and the reference from which my username came. (their first album was titled 'With Love and Squalor')

drawn on 220gsm bristol board (first time iv used this, thanks to *Mad-Margaret for sending it to me )
hb & 2b mechanical pencils (mostly done with these)
3b &6b pencils
probably about 7 hours.

EDIT: iv rescanned this in a different, better, scanner. it should now be less grainy. also this time the contrast and colours are completely unedited. what you see is what you get

Fantastic! I love the detail put into this

The pick in his hand looks a bit bland though. Maybe a light reflection or something?

Otherwise fantastic

This looks a lot better than the first one, which I didn't really consider too much of a possibility. Good rescan and nice fancy signature on this.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

lloveandsqualor In reply to Meteor-Flower [2010-05-29 00:32:53 +0000 UTC]

awesome. i thought it looked better too, hence the change. and there was the exact same signature on the original submission. also, i didnt feel this was the best signature iv written out, but glad you like it

i like the signatures on these [link] [link]
maybe i shall start signing them Matt Jarvis, as opposed to M R Jarvis, seems to work fancier for me xD

Meteor-Flower In reply to lloveandsqualor [2010-05-29 00:37:38 +0000 UTC]

I think I like Matt better. otherwise it's like, Mr. Jarvis.
My signature is the lamest excuse for anything you've ever seen. However, I don't sign my drawings. 1) because my signature is crap, mentioned earlier. and 2) I don't want to upload it with my name on it because my last name has to go and be exclusive to my family so people could kidnap me. If they wanted to.

lloveandsqualor In reply to Meteor-Flower [2010-05-29 00:44:10 +0000 UTC]

haha, 2 very reasonable reasons. although arent all reasons reasonable, would they not be a bit contradictory otherwise? hmm. but yes, i might stick to matt jarvis then. or even go more informal and use Matt J, thats what iv always been known as by my old friends. not with my new, uni friends though, im just Matt to them, thats not nearly as fun.

Meteor-Flower In reply to lloveandsqualor [2010-05-29 00:47:05 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, it used to be when you sent me Facebook messages, they'd say "New message from Matt J!" It doesn't say that anymore, probably because you're too busy impressing your "new friends" to have time for the J.

lloveandsqualor In reply to Meteor-Flower [2010-05-29 00:49:35 +0000 UTC]

yeh i used to have my name on fb as Matt J (first name) Jarvis (sirname). just so that it would say Matt J when i commented and stuff.

oh, you should sign your drawings with a nickname. Skywalker!
