Horseshoes and Handgrenades is skipping, and I can’t tell if it’s because their internet connection sucks balls, or the NHB server is sucking balls. I’d also accept my internet connection sucking balls, which would be a wondrous bridge between Comcast of Denver and Comcast of Grand Rapids, as neither can seem to get their shit together. Anyhow, I finally got around to doing a user icon for my AIM account. Only took me a few years and three screen names. (Four counting my private SN, and yay for selective invisibility!)

Anyhow, the account is “genderbunny,” which came about because I didn’t want my old SN to be read over the air when I write in to NHB, as it was lame. Way lame. And like a genius, I drew the head too large to draw the bunny ears, so I had to use a carrot, possibly inviting a lawsuit from both Warner Brothers and Jhonen Vasquez simultaneously. And yay for you if you got the Vasquez reference.

I tried to make the carrot look a bit like a cigarette, because nothing says “tobacco, not marijuana” like greenish smoke. I suppose I could’ve used an old, wilted-ass carrot or something. I dunno, I’ve spent more time typing so far than working on this, I didn’t leave a whole lot of time for thinking.

Done with Photoshop vectors, one layer effect, and a raster gradient background, hence why it’s still so crisp at 10x zoom. (In a gross reversal of standard procedure, I worked at the final size, 50×50 px and scaled it up for the internet.)

The first sketchblog for two months, wow! because I haven’t done shit for the last two months. Unless I never posted my progress on the next page of SEP, which I will finish someday. For now, I’m gonna watch Lilo & Stitch or something, the skipping on NHB has entered the realm of the criminal.
