Web comic work, illustration work and other stuff I might feel like doing.

Two alternate views of the Straker image. One has just the grey parts, each used for a different color in the final, and the other has the grays and the black lines of the portrait. There's something to be said for all of them.
UFO Straker? I recently watched every episode of that show! I wanted to become well known enough to make a new series/movie where all the higher ups in SHADO are albinos....sorry, got lost for a moment.
Planing using them in advance really did make a huge difference! Another angry looking face! It might not be something you use all the time, but it certainly adds another arrow to the quiver. I am glad I saw that video about the textures!
I think I like portraits that have some kind of emotion or expression to them. The usual 'staring at the artist,' or 'staring off into the distance' pose is so dull. I can easily see using these textures more in the future. Thanks again for sending the link. I can also see overusing this stuff and getting to dependent on it but until then, it will be fun.
UFO is a weird show all around. It's a transition from Anderson doing puppets and stuff for kids and doing stuff that's more 'serious.' After this, he did "Space:1999" which is even MORE serious (dull). Short lived, but I do like the show. Have almost all of them.
UFO has the best opening credits! I love when the year 1980! Appears on the screen randomly. X-files owes some of its alien stuff to the show I think. The design f everything is wonderful. The moon base, etc are supposed to be part of the space 1999 universe, i think, earlier versions. The show was uneven to say the least, but had some real potential and interesting ideas. I have spent far to much time thinking about this...
Back to drawing! Portraits can be really dull even though i love them. Giving them real emotion and movement can really make them come alive. I am working on a street scene in procreate right now, lots of details but i would really love to get back into portraits in ink.
I've done a few, like this one by freeze-framing scenes from TV shows where I think the camera really caught something cool in the actor's face. That might be something you could work on.
