OK...given the time constraints..
I didn't do this in MSP because..I wanted to check the proportions and measurements carefully when I finished..It is a study/ learning project. I needed to know if there were serious or even minor mistakes in proportion..
It is free hand..Reference is on the link you posted..

You know what I say to that? PAINK!

NB This was written before the previous post edit (and I'm not gonna change it now). :) Anyone who gets whiplash from this image, please do not sue.

Yeah..I know what the previous post said...about scribbling on the cave walls..
Your reply was cool.."Paink"..I was ROFL..
That is a very colorful image..Did you hand color every square? What about Eye Lash?...Can we sue?

I can't discuss it until I talk to my lawyer. Anyone know a good lawyer?

The image is just a grid/paint bucket click-o-rama - evidence I'm stalled for a subject. Re "BAMBOO?", yeah, never thought of that. :) No eye lash:

Edit: That's a very promising freehand skull, definitely. :)

Speed Tanka..
A comment on Charles Simic's poem.."Hotel Infinity"

Enjambment? May be...
It lacks both rhyme and reason.
It is a lesson..
In what is knot poetry...
Crude strings of *sob* imagery

(Speed Tanka time: just a second)

Evil joemo.

What comes after Speed Tankas? Speed Thangkas! Ready? No? Well, got any Thangka Tankas while we're waiting? :)

I wanted to have something new to post (along with this text) but it's a sculpture (a beginning) and I won't have pics for a while (until I've got something worth showing). I've always wondered about the geometry of Tibetan sculpture, now I'm learning (in the round). It's a hoot. :)

The sculpture morphed into something else (and then something else - damndest thing I've ever seen). Meanwhile, found a local supplier of Plastilina so I'll have more to work with (when the shipment comes in) - fewer excuses about impulse-modelling.

Rework of an old doodle (inset). Lots wrong with it - but there it is.

Minor adjustment: added some blue to the gray, which does seem to pull the body and face together into one unit, as mentioned elsewhere (Edit: now that I look at it again, I think the colour is a bit too violet). Found some reference for the face paint but a crisp/bold rendering overpowers everything else... will either scuff up the ash (body) to match the face or - something. Interesting puzzle...

This could be addictive (blowing things up) - I see the appeal...
