Re: Rusty's OC/Misc. Art and Fiction!
A raw, chicken scratch concept sketch of Laine in her "undercover" attire. For once she looks somewhat formal, and less sporty. Hair up in a messy bun, blouse with a suit coat, modest heels, and glasses - She's ready for business.
Not sure if I'll keep it as a skirt, or extend it into a full pant-suit yet. What does everyone else think?
She's got that "You amuse me" look on her face, and I think she looks rather good in glasses.
EDIT: Oh and just for emperor, I narrowed down her hips a little. Skinny enough for you?

The glasses really change things, don't they? Change the face, you change the impression the character makes...
The clothes make a big difference too though. Overall effect of the two are what makes the impact, I guess. Interesting piece.

Re: Rusty's OC/Misc. Art and Fiction!
A "Music Fiction" wherein the premise is you listen to the song I've indicated while you read (I'll provide a link where appropriate). It matches up to my reading speed, but some of you might read faster/slower than I do, so it may not match up perfectly for you.
There is also a fanart for this, but it's pretty involved (and drowning in fanservice, as is the story itself) so it'll be a bit longer until I can post up the corresponding art.
BTW, this story is dedicated to the two gorgeous girls I saw at The Summit, whoever you two are.
NOTE: Laine's not a lesbian. Just a massive, massive uber tease.

Girls Night Out - Instance 1
“Petra, hurry up!”
“A-alright! I think I'm ready.”
The door opened and out stepped the Russian cyborg. She was wearing a black layered skirt and a cream colored sleeveless blouse. Her feet were propped up in a low pair of open toed heels.
“You look gorgeous Petra!” Priscilla gushed as she turned the corner in order to pick the two girls up. She ran over to her. “You even did your hair.” Indeed, the redhead's hair was done up in a teased style.
“On my insistence.” Laine added, thinking that Petra's lackluster hairstyle didn't do her any justice.
“And you look very nice too Laine.” The cheery woman approved. The British girl was dressed in an orange halter-top club dress and a pair of strappy white heels. Naturally Priscilla was proud of how they were dressed, she did pick the outfits herself afterall. She jumped inbetween the two cyborgs and wrapped her arms around them.
“I haven't gone to a club in so long!” Priscilla smiled widely and stretched her arms out in excitement. They were heading to the downtown nightclub Di Facino. It took a bit of convincing, but they finally received permission for their first Girl's Night Out since their arrival. “This is going to be great!”*****“Not that great.” Laine said in a bored voice. The thumping European techno music was lacking the atmosphere she was hoping for.
“It's not too bad.” Petra said turning towards her, her feet and hands tapping along with the music. Priscilla apparently agreed.
The member of SWA's support staff was having the time of her life on the dance floor. Laine knew all of the moves as she counted them off in her mind.
The shopping cart. The sprinkler. The chicken wing. The robot?
“Oh god...” Laine groaned as she covered her eyes, trying to save her brain from the visual torture. All around Priscilla was an empty ring of space, but not from awed spectators, but rather from fear. Pris grinned broadly and went into her second rendition of the Macarena. “I can't take it anymore.”
“Where are you going Laine?” Petra yelled out after her as Laine slid off of her barstool and over towards the DJ's booth.
Laine sashayed up to the club's DJ and whispered in his ear. The DJ shook his head and shrugged, indicating that he didn't have the song. She sighed and pulled her iPod out of her dress, then hooked it up to the mixer by USB cable. After selecting the music she wanted she winked at the DJ and quickly flitted back down to the dance floor while dragging Priscilla off of it.
[What You Got – Colby O'Donis feat. Akon] (Click on link and let song play through the rest of the story)
Within seconds, the club was filled with a dance beat and the strobe lights began a programed show to match. After sitting Priscilla down to have her second Long Island Ice Tea, Laine grabbed Petra's hand and pulled her into the center of the lit floor. The blocked surface began lighting up with white pulses. Tepidly, everyone else in the club slowly began to absorb the rhythm of the unfamiliar song and began moving in accordance.
The blonde cyborg's dance started slow and rhythmically while she held Petra's arms in her hands, trying to lead her into the same movements. Petra began blushing as she stood there awkwardly, merely being pulled along like a marionette.“I peeped you on the phone
Just showin' off ya stones
And notice that that pinky ring is bright enough baby“
Laine frowned a little and quickly jerked her closer.
“C'mon, loosen up. I'm trying to make us the center of attention.” She smirked and put space between them again. Leading her movements again, Petra slowly began to move in sync with what her friend was doing. “Thata girl!” Laine approved. As the song began to move into it's hook, Laine felt satisfied enough to let go of Petra's arms and let her move on her own.“And I like the way you take advantage of
Every man you love
I see, and I know your game girl
But I don't mind if ya come and play ya thug
Just don't talk too much
I see, you're so cute you don't have to say a word...“
The house lights illumated the dance floor bit by bit as they swirled and spun. For brief moments faces and various outfits were lit up. By now the entire club had warmed up to the American song and were dancing with enthusiasm. After a brief moment of hesitation from her now solo state, Petra's embarassment lessed as she began to instinctively pick up on the syncopated beats. Finally she and Laine were finding harmony in their dancing, complimenting each other.“Always talkin' bout what you got
Always talkin' bout what you got
Always talkin' bout what you got
Girl you know that you need to stop”
Soon the song entered it's second verse and Petra moved up closer to Laine until only inches separated them.“Girl I can tell you want something to love
That's why you hold on to everything that pass you by
Can't resist girl and I can't lie
Now tell if you are here for me
Or everybody watchin' you shake from left to right
The way you move got me hypnotized”
Both surprised and amused by Petra's sudden confidence, Laine playfully stuck her tongue out from between her grinning teeth. She turned around, pressed back against her and wrapped the redhead's hands around her stomach.
Just as Laine had wanted, more and more glances were being tossed their way as they moved against each other, the song's bass beat flowing through their bodies. As the second chorus came around, their positions changed smoothly, with Petra now turning to lean back into Laine.“Yeah those guys wanna come treat ya right
Cause you're sweeter than apple pie
Everything that you want you got
Girl you know that you need to stop
Most beautiful thing in sight
Always takin' on the spotlight
Always in the club lookin hot
Girl you know that you need to stop”
Petra's eyes were closed as she swayed her body, head leaned back. She felt a sudden pressure on her chest and noticed that a man in front of her was dancing up against her. As she froze up, Laine realized that Petra had stopped dancing and leaned her head sideways to look over Petra's shoulder. The sub-zero glare that Laine shot from her eyes was enough to make the man decide to look for another dance partner. He once again melted into the crowd, left to watch in frustrated disappointment with every other man in the room.
Laine grinned inwardly as she prodded Petra to resume dancing. Men were so easy to ruffle. The two resumed dancing against each other. A light sheen of perspiration covered them as the heat of the club's lights and from their dancing took its toll.
They continued to dance through the entire song, switching who was leaning into who or face-to-face. As the final chorus faded out, ending the song, the two peeled their bodies away from each other and laughed. The music changed back into the usual European techno affair as Priscilla bounced down drunkly from the DJ booth. She handed Laine her iPod and stared at them for a minute.
Finally Priscilla spoke.
“That was fucking HOT!”
Petra's eyes went wide and Laine nonchalantly slipped her iPod into the front of her dress. Priscilla continued.
“I mean it. If I was a little more drunk I'd totally be all over you two like a hobo on a ham! I'm totally putting this on the internet!” She said waving her camera phone.
With that, Priscilla jumped back onto the dance floor to once again display her dancing prowess.
NOTE: Laine's not a lesbian. Just a massive, massive uber tease.

Sketched this while sitting at the auto shop, waiting my turn for service. It's Laine wearing the "badass" coat, sporting some 'tude.
Getting so caught up in photoshop w/ tablet made me forget just how nice simple paper and pencil is. Digital art may be cleaner and capable of more SFX, but a good old pencil and sketch pad is where home is.
EDIT: God I hate imageshack. Methinks I need to switch image hosting sites.

Don't even think about pretending that you've never seen a girl finish taking a shower, wrap a towel around herself, grab a popsicle, and then begin to eat it suggestively in a coquettish pose.
Don't even.
And if you are pretending, too bad, 'cause Laine's made sure that you can't. (Possibly NSFW depending on how uptight your employers are the issue of popsicle consumption.)

Reminds me of a dutch Joke.
Question: "Who has the most dirty, yet pleasing profession in the world?"
Answer: "The mailman, because he goes from box to box."
FYI: In holland a Mailbox is often refered to as a Box or a Slot. however, a Slot or box can also hint towards a womans private part. but Keep in mind that I am using direct translations from Dutch to English.

There's a fine balance when it comes to proportions (One that I'll admit I don't nail 100% all the time ). If I had made her body smaller she would have looked like this:

It is. Lol, it's the way I made her sit I suppose, her left leg is folded in front as you can see, and her right leg is folded back in a similar manner so you can only see her right thigh/knee, and the rest is obscured behind her body (i.e. lazy of way of just not having to draw the other leg .) Hard to explain in words, try sitting that way yourself if you can for a better visual (god knows I'm not flexible enough).Piero wrote:(Although her right leg seems a touch off somehow.)

Re: Rusty's OC/Misc. Art and Fiction!
Can't sleep, did some doodling.
Came up with a design for my Backland Beat project. This is Altrinity Proaction's company badge, much like you'd find with a military or PMC company. The general design probably won't change much, but the colors may. I just colored it quick for easier viewing.
The tri-lighting bolt is pretty obvious, and each of the three smaller symbols represents a facet of Altrinity's services. They're pretty self-explanatory I think, except for maybe the bottom one.
An internet cookie for anyone who can guess correctly what each means.
PS - Doesn't mean much now, but the main characters of BB do work primarily associated with the bottom symbol.

I'll admit that's not the first time I've seen a girl in anime or fanart that has eaten a popsicle in a suggestive manner. Nice job with Laine in various outfits and poses. I like how you draw her proportions realistic. Besides being your OC, is she your ideal dream girl?

Not dumb at all, especially seeing as how I haven't posted much information about it. It's basically a fiction/art project of mine that has an original story (though stylistically influenced by various works). It's set in the near future with mercenaries, lots of action, and most importantly - tongue-in-cheek humor. Uses a LOT of tropes.
It was going to start out as a webcomic of sorts, then it turned into fiction/novella, then it became a mixture of both, so it's still changing and evolving. I've posted the character cards in this thread earlier (Though Carolyn's is a bit rough by my new current standards.)
- Carolyn
- Lyssa (Who's character design is openly inspired by Laine's)
- Sayumi
There's still two more main characters, (three technically, though that one's an antagonist) so I still have three more cards to go: Carmeia, Daphne, and Sabrina.

Cool! Thanks Rusty for taking the time to explain your project. I saw your character cards earlier and wasn't sure if they were for GsG or something else. I remember Sayumi was in your avatar before and was amazed to know you created her. Sounds like a lot of work, but if it goes through I think it'll be great.

Re: Rusty's OC/Misc. Art and Fiction!
I've gotten a few questions over where I get the avatars I use, especially the ones taken from manga. Short answer: I make them myself.
Long answer, I decided to write a small explanation of how I make them so others can try on their own. This is an example of what I did for my current Eda avatar from Black Lagoon.
A step-by-step is after this picture.
Long answer, I decided to write a small explanation of how I make them so others can try on their own. This is an example of what I did for my current Eda avatar from Black Lagoon.
A step-by-step is after this picture.
- Using photoshop I take a panel from a manga I like, crop/select exactly what I want, and hit copy. Then I open a new photoshop document and paste the copied selection.
- I then add a layer, and using the eyedrop tool, blot out the speech bubble(s) with the paintbrush.
- Then I add another layer and use the clone stamp tool to copy a specific shading texture into any needed areas (In this case, Eda's hair/skin shading).
- Almost done. Now I place a final layer and replace the lineart that was covered by the text. I just guess at this step since I have no idea what was actually under the text. I try to make it look as close to the original lineart as possible (with varying levels of success.) Again I use the clone stamp tool if needed.
- Lastly, I resize (and recrop one more time if I need to,) and huzzah! A new avatar from manga without text.

Lol, no worries Nacht.
It's for the BB project. I couldn't sleep so I made what would be a response letter after contacting Altrinity Proaction (the employers of the main characters) about possible contract work.
It's suppose to have that "We're trying to sell ourselves to you" vibe. Either way, for some reason I had immense fun making the fake letter and for the hell of it posted it up here.
Worry not though, the next image I'll be posting will be of the Snugglecabra as soon as it's finished.

A small self-depreciating comic I made because everything I tried to draw today sucked.

Well, everything I was putting down on paper was turning to crap, so I decided to just go rough enough to get the job done (which is why I only drew myself as a talking head. ) There are in fact many things wrong with Laine in that picture. I usually don't have a problem with drawing her hair, but for some reason that didn't turn out the way I wanted it to either. :iiam:
And, thanks for the comments everyone.

I think rusty is just trying to prove that the girls do in fact grow up (and out!) after all. :lollol:emperor wrote:You drew yourself very well but Laine didn't have much boobs like before?
Hmm… maybe little Britney is due for some mammary expansion. :face:

*Dies while rolling on the floor*
There is no average size for a girls rack based on their nationailty.
I mean, I have seen Dutch girls who are like... 1,40 Meters tall but have a D cup or something around there...
so you cant actualy base sizing on race or nationality. A girl will either have a big rack, or she will be a flat chest.

I guess if you really wanted to be practical, you could give the girls boobs like the fembots have.

Re: Rusty's OC/Misc. Art and Fiction!
its gone up 2 cup sizes in the last 10 years here,some of that is due to implants and the rest is due to diet,more protein etc and weight gain and some is due to the pill being given out earlier,plus hormones in meat !
ps, you can have an average in anything,all you need is the data and studies have been done on bust sizes by Bra makers

lol that wasn't me ! i cut and pasted part of a article.
For almost 10-15 years, the average breast size has been growing up, as is evident from the fairly large sizes of teenage girls. While in the past, 12-14 year old girls practically did not have anything to talk about, the situation has changed completely. Most people we spoke to indicate that this dramatic change is attributable to the equally dramatic change in eating habits on a global basis, but particularly here in America where consumption of fat-rich foods has exploded during the last 30-40 years. This has been changing with the dominance of fast food restaurants that not only have a lot more beef and fried food but also the portions are larger. Teenagers are most likely to consume fast food - it is cheaper, easily available, is considered cool, and fast-food restaurants provide a great place for them to hang out. This has, of course, created image problems among grown-up women. As Lynette from Madison, Wisconsin, says, "When I see my daughter's bra size two cups larger than mine, I feel jealous. What should I do?" Well that is a very popular question and there is no simple answer to it. (Related article: Selection of breast implants) |

Re: Rusty's OC/Misc. Art and Fiction!
Admittedly, I don't mind things going off-topic (I'm a major instigator) but I'm not a huge fan of "how big are adolescent girl's breasts" discussions (let's keep it that firmly in the realm of anime fanservice. ). A jab here or there doesn't bother me, but once it becomes a major point for discussion, then I start getting Squick.
Maybe I'm being prude, but I think we're starting to cross that thin line between "amusingly lewd" to "Okaaay, now we're reading too far into this."
At least it's starting to me creep me out just a bit.

Ah, I suppose so, but that wasn't the original intent.
It's more for the "Zombie Plan" post where I mentioned I would be open to a GsG/Zombie crossover art...maybe. It's still very hush hush around here at Rusty-Spring Inc. The boss never tells me what's going on...

It doesn't look like Laine to me. She looks very demure, sweet and innocent - completely unlike our scrappy, sporty tease.
You might have the basis for another great new character on your hands.
