Although it doesn’t look it…

I am actually trying to keep up this site!  This time, I have a valid excuse (or two).  My computer crashed, necessitating a complete reload.  Then, after I got it reloaded, it got a virus- and had to be completely re-formatted.

Sigh.

So now, I’m back.  And I’m going to continue as if I didn’t just take a month or so off from this thing.

Acetabula Renovo 2

Continuing with the sketch posted here, I inked it and colored it with marker.  Below is the hand-colored version, pre-PhotoShop.

Once I had it in PhotoShop, I decided to enhance the x-ray by putting a real post-PAO x-ray image into it.  Since the bunny was nowhere near human proportions, this took lots of “layer via copy” time and effort.  Here’s what the finished version looks like.

Acetabula Renovo

Today is the 2-year anniversary of my surgery.  A few months ago, I got this image of a fluffy little bunny holding up an x-ray, showing the screws from a PAO operation (I think I have 5 screws total; one day I’ll get my ortho to let me sneak off with an old x-ray of mine).

This design is heavily influenced by Luke Chueh’s work (I highly recommend you check it out sometime).

This is what the final version is shaping up to be like.  Later I’ll post the marker-colored, pre-PhotoShop version.

Flight to DFW

Found this while looking for another sketch…

Flight to DFW

Now, while I’m no skinny thing myself, I was sandwiched between two, uh, robust individuals on a flight from Houston to DFW.  I’m just glad it was only an hour flight.
