Artist's Comments

Er, as you can see, I am still a NOVICE to say the least in the art of outlining and coloring, but :iconomgdragonfly: made this meme to break her art flunk and it has in turn broken mine so in the long run errthing's all awesome, Hyrule is saved, and you're a true hero.

And now for some beautiful stories.

1. I feel kind of like a dee-de-dee, because only after the initial sketches, inking, and halfway through coloring did I realize that sheer, frilly sleeves do NOT for a good concealed weapon make. Oh well, it happens. And I'm trying not to think too hard about how the generic man love interest came out looking like my brother...

2. "When I get old, I hope that I have the decency to throw myself out a window. However, in Britain, some elderly people continue to selfishly go on living. Like this horrible old bitch."
-Little Britain, slightly paraphrased


3. I figure you can't have a good mind screw without a creepy albino so, oh hey, how about THREE? I think I was trying to mock out the style of Clone Manga ([link]), but it would look a lot better if I was half the artist Dan Kim was. Really, I had the most fun with this one, but I have the least grasp of the characters (WHAT). I'm not even 100% on all of their genders. I just know those two over there are siblings. Because what's a mind screw without REALLY AWKWARD subtext. All the more appropriate, since the entire story is an elaborate metaphor for an abusive relationship (WHAT).

4. I'm, uh, not even sure if these count as 'characters'...let alone about how people are going to think I view men...I think "Mind Screw" unintentionally leaked into this one too D:

5. Man, I seriously need to do more of...whatever style this is. It's just so much fun. GET YER DEAD NINJAS HERE.

6. Aw man, I think I was supposed to draw a horse or a dragon or some other really awesome animal but MAN no good Mind Screw is complete without some badass chick and a really cool car/bike. If you can combine the two, even better! I figure she's way too cool to be the hero though. The hero/heroine would be dumbstruck as she wastes small armies of shadow-like and DEEPLY SYMBOLIC monsters (probably just by running them all over) and would query "Who are you? What's going on? What happened to my family? What is 'The Silence'?" with the reply "THIS IS NONE OF YOUR CONCERN." *flip off VROOM VROOM*

7. For additional contradiction, my least favorite drawings with my favorite set of characters. Oh man, an all-gay, over-the-top Britcom...it's too good an idea for TV. I never get tired of the dynamic between a reasonable-but-miserable character and one off-the-waller with a very loose grip on reality. What surprised me is those two girls over there I just drew because I wanted to balance out the gender ratio, but once I thought about them, they turned out to be more distinct characters than their brovs. Figures.

8. If you too want to be the cool kid on the block, then here's the template just for yooooooou. [link]

I love the thought of Mind Screw as some type of genre. Off in its own section in the library/video store. In case you want to get depressed and/or stoned.

1. She wears the see-through frills so that she appears harmless at first glance, but she's GONE before you can do your "WAS THAT A KNIFE UNDA THERE" double-take. Hmm? "Master"? Frills? Dress? Did you make her a Robot Girl Ninja MAID!?

2. MAN. As much as I love crazy old woman, I have to say that guy there is my favorite of everything here. He is just so damn SHARP. All the greater if he is inexplicable black and white no matter the medium. That's kinda mind screw there too...

3. MAN that is the opposite of the wacky Team Rocket shenanigans I anticipated when making that option! Mind screw unsettling quirky! Androgyny adds to it! Pretty effective. D:

4. MUST SKIP BEFORE SHARKS RUINED FOREVER

5. Is it... Gurren Lagann bumper style??

6. YESSS COOL BIKE. Almost as cool as her hair. Also she could do bad ass things like serve as a decoy so that the hero gets away. So she'd lure the corrupt police/the A.U.T.H.O.R.I.T.Y. down a closed off alley and they think they have her trapped, but then she just puts on some cool shades and drops a lighter igniting gasoline and explosives she had set up earlier. BAMF.

7. D: I really like how this looks. BOLD. Have they're not been all-gay over-the-top Britcoms yet?? I find it rather hilarious that they look like alternate gender universe counterparts to each other. Which could mean... woah, mind screw again.

8. Okay, I know I said like two of these were my favorite already, but I'm writing this as I go! And this one is definitely my favorite. There's something really surreal but classy about it.
:iconeva44:
This gave me a mind warp. Honestly. But the shark penis warmers seem almost normal after seeing Brüno... XD
(ps. I love the motorcycle and the wt/blk shady people drawings. ^^)

XD Lord knows it would have tons of crap that qualify. I have no clue why it came first, or why Britcom came IMMEDIATLY after it (though looking at your comment, the two may be pretty closely related?!), but I'm sure neither had anything to do with the fact I started this at midnight.

1. Either that, or it could just apply to the general populace ignoring the robotic ears, green hair, and square-shaped relfection of her eyes. I COULD say the reason is because I didn't want to give the guy a name, but I think it was when the late twenty-something-year old cyberobotics major and his budies got together and said "hey maybe we actually CAN make a robot chick for the hell of it" and just programed it as a joke. Before he needed to throw it away before his girlfriend moved in.

2. I think half the point of the service industry of Britain merely serves to be more intelligent, classy, and generally awesome than the fauxristocrats they serve. So awesome he can defy the laws of the chromatic spectrum. Either that, or I was inspired by the Jeeves and Wooster opening.

3. NOT WHAT I WAS EXPECTING EITHER D: But I couldn't think of a way to do it with the whole innept minion flair! They turned out actually evil! What the heck man!

4. AGAIN I AM SO SORRY

5. I actually got started it when I once immitated the style of The World Ends With You, so I wonder if it's an actual style?

6. Actually, when I first drew her, she wasn't fun at all, because her design was a lot more subdued (with a really boring LIBRARIAN PONYTAIL). But I figured if anyone needed all-over-da-place hair, she did. And her bike is so awesome, I'm contemplating making it sentient. Or an extention of her soul or something of equal crazy. AND YES YOU'RE RIGHT. There needs to be some giant Xanatos Gambit moment! And an opportune moment to have a shot of her walking out of a bunch of flames.

7. I don't think so actually! Which is a shame. Actually, the reason that they look so similar is because they're two sets of siblings. How it is statistically possible for two sets of gay siblings who just HAPPEN to coincide in the same immediate area is beyond me, but Britain is second only to Japan in being a big believer in the fact that LOGIC IS FOR THE WEAK. And it still doesn't eliminate the mind screw.

8. Like yours, it was kind of spur-of-the-moment, but I'm surprised that everything actually came out alright! I actually like it myself, even though it didn't take a lot of time.

And of course, thank you so much for taking the time to commenting and faving this! Really, thank you for making it in the first place! It was fun!

The good kind of mind warp or the bad kind? And do I want to know what Bruno is, if he is a man that can somehow eclipse something that even I was like "WHAT"?! Aaaaaw, thank you so much though Eva! And thank you for the fave!

Haha, of course.

1. Oh wow! I didn't even catch the shape of the eye-flections. OH HEY, a first! A guy making a robot girl but he has a girlfriend anyway! Well, actually, considering the nature of magical girlfriend series and unwanted harems.

3. DOUBLY HILARIOUS since normally you can make anything cracktastic! But when it was the intention, you put out something downright sinister. Awesome.

5. Oh hey, I see it now. But that central gleam/glare is very Gurren Lagann-esque. It's all bad ass stylin' anyway.

6. Wa ha, well that was a close one. Good choice! Oh man, sentient-bike, soul-bike, both of those options sound pretty crazy-awesome. Is she wearing red suspenders?

7. WELL HEY wackier things have happened. Especially in Britain, I'm sure. It's not quite mind screw but there is that near-squick of couples whose siblings are also a couple. It's just WEIRD, even though nothing's wrong.

HEY no problem! You're the second person to get it done, and you did it in COLORVISION to boot.
:iconeva44:
I think its a shocking kind of mindwarp. But, netherless, its a good kind, I guess. ^^ Brüno is the new movie from Sacha Cogen (aka Borat) and it was hilarious, but filled with more male genitalia than I ever thought I would see in theaters. XD

I really like these styles! If I had comic sense, I would do this too. :/ I might learn and try it myself. What are the genres? :/

1. Really though, I don't know how just square-shape lenses would be indicitive of an artificial human but WHATEVER WORKS. XD I actually think it would be funnier if, somehow, as a spur of the moment, he just made it with some buddies when they were all crazy bachelors, and then just came home all a gliter at his girlfirned coming home to a colorful robot girl and thinking "OH SNAP HOW AM I GOING TO EXPLAIN THIS".

3. Aaaaaw, thank you! Though you make a good point! There's nothing really stoping me from putting them all in frilly dresses and have them flying down the street on skateboards.

5. Oh, definitely. I love that bumper-style. It's a good way to accentuate colors, just having highlights either being darkest black or pure white. And it both looks good and makes for some sweet, sweet artistic lazyness.

6. Why thank you again! I suppose when I think about it, it would add an aditional elemnt of cool if it looks MAN SHE'S REALLY DONE FOR THIS TIME and an unmaned bike comes out of nowhere, crashes through a wall and sends debris flying everyere, and suddenly THE TABLES TURN. I think they are some sort of suspenders varriation, but I think I was shooting for asymetrical? The whole thing was done at an odd angle-maybe I should redraw it.

7. I'M SURE THEY HAVE. Eh heh, when I dig into it, your definitely right with the wierdness factor XD. But when I really think about it, I probably wouldn't hook them up as is? I've recently discovered I'm TERRIBLE with bait-switching couples.

Aaaaah, I'm sorry. I think I've been especially wierd lately, for some reason, eh heh. Again, sorry about that! Oh deaaaaar, I think that would be an odd and every-teetering combination of hilarious and mind-scarring. Did you see it recently!

I don't think I was shooting for particular styles? I just thought "oh hey, I think I'll do it like this!". Though if I had to think, I'd have to say cell-shade, cell-shade b/w vector combo, rough Clone Manga esc b/w, cell shade, whatever five is, stylized cell-shade, cell shade, black and white. But I think it's more of DO AS YOUR HEART DESIRES and there isn't some overhanging theme or design. Just be crazy and creative!

1. It's just a visual shorthand for ROBO, when it's not showing how someone has cube-shaped eyeballs. Eyecubes. THAT WOULD BE QUITE THE SITUATION. Far worse than coming home from your buddies with a tattoo on your bum.

5. It's like a hybridization of your STARK BLACK AND WHITE and colors!

6. Empathetic vehicle for the win! Asymmetrical suspenders? Like one up properly, the other hanging off the hip like all the cool kids do nowadays?

7. Buh wha?? Like the more you think about these four, the more you're like, "MEH, they're not all that interesting together?" If it's like that, I can actually relate. NO ONE knows about the long-lost male character that was to be Green-Haired Magical Girl's love interest because I found myself slashing my own characters! D:
