all that junk inside my trunk

I like your paintings.
To be perfectly honest I probably liked it the most in the first stage  .

[elephant]

thanks. i've noticed I tend to lose some bits in the process of painting things through. shame.

I love your style, Elephant.  It's so expressive.
On the oil painting for your friend you need to watch your proportions.  The boy's left arm is LOOOONNNNGGG. I know it's too late now, but just for future reference.
And the graphic novel, HER BOOBS ARE SAGGY! HAHA, it's pretty funny, but I like it.

[elephant]

sorry, i don't do proportions. 

[elephant]

yes, i still draw things on my body.
there's another picture i want to show you,
but i'll leave that for tomorrow when i get to use the scanner

+ posted few photos in my photo thread, in the photography section. don't forget to share your own stuff too while you're down there

Hey Elehpant!
Yeh, I know it was a typo back then but still, to this day, I think of you as my little brother "Ele-pants".  Not so much a joke as an inward smile.
Good to see you still around and your stuff is amazing.  One advantage of being away for so long is to be able to get that "then" and "now" perspective in real time.  Kinda like seeing a nephew and then years later coming back and saying, "My how you growed!"   
Crazy stuff you got going on there.  I clicked on some YouTube links and stuff from other threads... are they all yours?

Keep on keepin' on, dude.

nice to see you're still alive! yeah, i could say i've done quite a few twists and turns since i last saw you here, all the while growing in the process.
about the elehpant... it wasn't a typo at all.
i started misplacing the two letters when i realized that 'elephant' was already taken on most of the internet. 

what youtube links exactly are you talking about?
i do have an account up with two animation tests, but that's it

& here's a close-up of the make-believe tattoo and another coffee drawinggg







eeeeeeenjoy!

[Pieter]

Awesome stuff!
I think some of these would look nice with some bold colours on top, something like you did on the first pages of the sketchbook.
Also when you write text it would be cool if it looks like "real" (but more hand drawn) typography. Jens Claessens and Ward Zwart are good at that.

[elephant]

Ah, I see what you mean about the text, I thought of doing that, but got a little lazy. Shame on Heinrich.

I might try to get some colour beneath the lineart when I find the time.
Thanks!
