Description

I drew this right around the time we learned of her first name, Turanga (after Oliver Messaien's symphony Turangalila)--- and also right around the time I got my sweaty hands on the 'Y2Kalendar', which contains the centerfold that was the inspiration for this piece. Real horrorshow. And if you're wondering what those tiny words are doing crawling around her figure, it's a love letter. Something small and spontaneous. I did this with most every subsquesent piece as long as our relationship lasted. (Just about as long as the show ran.)

---NOTE: The first two drawings in this series (previous one is at [link]) were scanned on a FujiFilm Fine Scan 2750. A real honey of a thing (and it makes the most awesome noises!) but it was being a bitch, so I switched to an Epson Expression, something or other. Unfortunately, those that I scanned on the Fuji were embedded with a proprietary color profile, so I couldn't do very much to clean them up. not even in Photoshop. So that's why they ended up looking as old and dull as they are. Thank you.

Rendered with Crayola markers and colored pencils on August 11, 2000. (BTW, I should say now that I coloured everything before I got to college with Crayolas, because back then I knew jack-shit about art supplies. Except for mechanical pencils and pens. My fleet is grand and well-worn, and continues to grow.)

Also just around this time, I got a 1/6 scale model of the dog-xenomorph from Alien 3 for my birthday. That's one of my childhood life's missions checked off at last. Now all I have to do is build a time machine out of a DeLorean.
