*This is what they called it in Mad Magazine and it never failed to amuse me...most likely because "booby" is wicked funny when you're 8. Or an adult, whatevs. :laugh:

Arrrgghhh!! Thats way too good Stace...

Seriously though, This is amazing,, to hell with anyone who says otherwise!!
The whole meterfield thingy seems to have a type of visual rhythm of it own.

[Splash!]

The bully in me wants to give you a wedgie and pull your hair, but the nerd in me screams "Live long and prosper".

[GW.Fisher]

Sweet. The BG inks are especially top-notch! :thumbs:

[Rich Bonk]

Wow! That's a rich piece of inking - expertly done. Nice brush work! :thumbs:

[quahkm]

The attention you give to the details are solid. Fantastic effort there...
I love the fact that you know the right formula to play with thick and thin lines. You're a very good inker....


My salutations!

how do you concentrate long enough to do something so detailed, especially when it's just 1 page of many?

this is not a rhetorical question. this is a huge problem for me.

[stahss]

Thanks very much, y'all. I'll admit, when this thing showed up in my inbox, I felt like running away from home. :D

xombey- I'm all about the audio books and the DVD commentary tracks. For some reason, having something to listen to engages my brain just enough that I can sit at the desk for hours. If I just have music playing or something, my mind wanders and I can't sit still...though those teeny tiny asteroids were a test of my patience. In all seriousness, though, I highly recommend trying audio books. I go for more 'pop' lit over the heavy stuff- mysteries or action or thrillers- they move along at a decent pace and they keep my head occupied. Next thing I know, 4 hours have gone by! Good luck!!

[GW.Fisher]

Absolutely gorgeous, Stacy. This is the kind of pic only an inker can truly appreciate. :thumbs:

[Jeremy Colwell]

Way cool inks, Stacie.

I've been getting into the audio books, too. I used to only do music, but some of the studio guys turned me onto the books. So far so good. I'm mostly a non-fiction listener since I get too wrapped up in a good fiction book and forget to work too. :( Plus, I get to learn some useful, worldly stuff.

[xombey]

would any of you have recommendations for historical fiction? since rome is ending i really want to read something based on the real history, but not so educational. alternate realities are good too, if you can think of some.

[Boy]

GREAT job, Stacy. Flawless, in my eyes.

[Travis]

Wow. You have really come a long way since those early days on the Inkers list, before it was the Inkwell. Outstanding job.

[The Art Keeper]

it's all been said before... Beautiful, Stahss!

[BW Fan]

Very nice work, ma'am. Very nice.

One question - where's the stickperson in this one? I see Ponder, I think sticks. What gives? :p

[stahss]

Thanks again, y'all.

xombey- I can't personally recommend any historical fiction offhand- I tend to stick with non-fiction in that realm. If I were you, though, I'd drop a PM to Kevin Melrose (kdmelrose on the boards)- I'm sure he could rattle some off for you.

Travis- Good to see you here!! Ah, the inkers list...man, those were the days. Thanks much- looking back, I can definitely see how far I've come. The stuff I was posting at the time is shudder-inducing now. Of course, I couldn't see any problems then! :laugh: But growing is good, and there'll always be room for improvement.

Ed- :laugh: :laugh: There's a stick Data flying the ship...you can't see him? He's realllllllllllly small. :p I suggested that the next mini-series be done in stick figures, but for some reason they haven't jumped on board yet... :whistlin:

[LDahl]

Solid!

[j giar]

Beautiful as always Ms. Ponder! The detail work forced me to put on my specs to take it all in. Awesome! See ya in the Wasteland!
