Description What's this? Art on the writer's page?!

Yes, I doodle on occasion. Not very well, but enthusiastically. Enough to have a sketchbook of embarrassments. Here's one of them. I hashed out just tonight. It's little more than a sketch, but I thought I'd upload it so everyone could make fun of it.

Here we see Stanley Steamer and Deadeye, two members of the Board of Crime and felonious chums. This is my first time roughing them out, and I'm reasonably happy with the results. I might do more detailed character work on them in the future, just for fun. Either way, expect more doodles coming down the pipe as I manage them. If nothing else, I want to get a piece of gift art done for *WunderChivo for his more-than-I-deserved piece of fan art.

Oh, and that cheeky lass on the right? She's no one special. Hardly important. Pay her no mind.

All characters copyrighted my yours truly, from my stretchy serial, "Gum Belle Conquers the Underworld."

Stan and Deadeye rule. Nice

Though, having put the bug in Stretch's ear about the Triads, I confess having a secret fondness for Madame 413 as well. Mind you, I am not trying to take credit for anything -- her personality, abilities and everything else are all his.

Speaking of which, Happy Year of the Ox to everybody! XIN NIAN KUAI LE!!

Heh. Happy New Year to you too, Eent.

I might just try to draw more members of the Board in the near future, if I feel up to it. So you might see Madame coming up eventually...

Oh yeah, don't you even think for a second that my brain didn't start yammering with ideas after I read the intro of that sinister society! And I DO intend to find the time to revisit these thoughts at some point. I'll have to bug you when my schedule isn't so damned hectic. But yeah, you have some awesome ideas, man. Hangman is a reaallll bad dude. '>_>

Thank you very much, WC; you're too, too kind. My ego is playing Hedonism-bot right now.

I've done a few doodles of the Hanged Man, but none have come out the way I want them to, sadly. For someone who likes elasticity, I'm having the damnedest time drawing that twisted neck. I think there's something karmic in that...

Stanley Steamer looks kinda like Gutsman from the Megaman series...

Mind if I make a fanart pic of that guy? In addition to stretchy girls, I also really like technical stuff. Hell, I might even throw Deadeye in too. Your villains are really an original and enchanting bunch.

...Of course, I'd only do this with your permission...

(Oh, and I read your ginormous reply to the last chapter; in case it ain't obvious, of COURSE I'm sticking around. )

Of course you can! Feel free to toss my version out the window and draw your own, based on what you see in your mind's eye. That's the fun of prose: everyone sees something a little different.

Thanks for the kind words, and for sticking around. The Board will really be stepping it up over the next several chapters, as the narrative starts to move at a faster pace. This week's episode ain't called "Crime of the Century" for nuthin'...

"Toss your version out the window...?"

No way! I need bases if I'm gonna make my 'magic' happen!

...Besides, if I throw your designs out, not only would that disrespect you as a writer, it'd also destroy my only idea so far of Stan and Deadeye arguing over who has the better hat! THINK OF THE HATS, STRETCH!!!

Well...okay. For the sake of the hats.

Wowsers! Your sketches are way better than mine. That being said, just about anyone is better than I am. My dead great grandma is better ...
I think you get the idea.

I like yours though. They are just like how I've been picturing them. Please keep them coming!

You're too kind, really. Maybe I should scan in some of the stuff I drew back when I was seventeen and drawing bad Stephen King fanart. That'll settle my hash right quick.

Well, since I shy away from Stephen King, that'll prove not a whole lot. But if you can even make a human shape you've got me beat. (Look in my scraps if you want a scare.)
