    He’s a little on the scrawny side, for an orc. Perhaps this is one of the nerdy ones who doesn’t work out as much and is picked on by all the big jock orcs.

    Originally she was going to be a superhero, but she sort of metamorphosed into a lifeguard instead. Which, i guess, is close enough to the same thing, as the important saving-lives bit remains. And swimming seems impossible enough to me for it to count as a superpower.

    Leaning back to get a better view of the rooftop sniper. This is a situation where having a speaker to warn her boss might come in useful.

    Inspired by the Illustration Friday theme, Worn (it’s a few days late >_<) I ended up going with a less straightforward interpretation, that of a fae slave worn out by too much work. I may end up doing a whole alphabet book like this; i'll decide for sure after trying a few more.

    Click for larger view (complete with almost-proper screentone)

    Tried messing around with screentones for the greyscale in this one… amazing how many ways there are to mess up screentones. The most obvious (at least in this picture) being i used too fine a tone, so in most of the low-res online copies, the tone just looks grey or only slightly textured (the “larger view” linked to above is pretty clear, but still a little fuzzy in the really fine parts, or where multiple tones overlap). At print resolution the screentones are much clearer.

    I’m sure other planets have just as many weird careers as ours does. But what we’d all really pay to see is a Vulcan le-matya charmer.
