h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Just for the record I'm doing better today. I took a 'break' by renting a video and watching it. While watching when I paused the video a few times and made a few quick sketch. It was just for a bit of sketching practice ... I am working towards illustrating my own fantasy stories, which are also of the 'sword and sorcery' variety ... sort of. But anyways, after making the sketches I thought up some captions and the sketch session turned into a mini-movie satire! If any of you have read Mad Magazine you'll have an idea ... well mine is certainly not that good but still maybe some of you'd enjoy this. (I wish I could put these pictures directly on h2g2 ... for now you'll have to deal with them linked on Photobucket ...)

Love those sketches.

Love the fact that you feel better even more.

I am:

ing at the gorgeous storyboard. Anabolic steroids...Cimmerians...

Amazed at the vision and talent that took, so casually displayed.

Absolutely delighted that you're feeling better.

Oh, and we need to turn this into something for ... *greedy editor*

I'm glad you liked it, Bel and Dmitri. We could certainly put it in The Post ... if we could! Do we still have picture limits?

Nope. Send 'em to me, I'll fiddle with 'em. Write a short intro, if you like.

I'll send them to you. By the way if Awix is okay with it I think we should put a link to the review of it here:

Oh, absolutely. Thanks for finding that.

Glad you are feeling better. Loved the evil hair and steroid availability. It seems to cover the entire genre in a nutshell.

I particulary liked the evil hair too

Thanks Willem, I enjoyed looking at these sketches too.

I hope you are feeling a bit better today as well. Take care!

heheh. I like the mini movie satire, dear artist fellow.

Glad you are coming up for air, after the deep dive into shadowed waters. I'm no stranger to that deep dive, and I am always running into all those psychological weird fishes in the emotional waters. If I could draw like you I'd draw them. heheh. As it is, I try to write them. Writing weird fishes? yes! yes! ...

erm right. You do inspire me, artistically, you know that?

One of my favourite tracks by Radiohead is called Weird Fishes. As if that's relevant.

And how does your mini movie satire link into weird fishes, I hear you ask ... heheh ... hmm.

take care Willem

these sketches!
