Artist's Comments

First post of the new year!

FINALLY finished this--It's been in the works for MONTHS now, but it amused me too much to abandon it. Here's Curtis Lin in his pre-calc class, trying gallantly to finish the problem on the board and becoming quite peeved that his math teacher keeps poking him in the head while trying to explain the problem to another student.

Teacher: "Remember, class, the abbreviation for natural log is ln--just think of Curt LIN, it's just like that, but without the 'i'!"
Curtis: *thinks* "If he pokes me again, I'm going to bite him..."

Curtis does not like his math teacher much. He finds him strange--after all, the man apparently hasn't realized yet that he's over forty years old, and he can be a bit touchy-feely--but unfortunately everyone else in the school thinks he's fabulous, especially Jun. His teacher used to know Curtis's father, so naturally he assumes this means Curtis should be something like a nephew to him. Curtis, for his part, is convinced he's a child molester. Plus, he likes math, and Curtis knows that can't be healthy.

I thought this would amuse some of the Redsugar fangirls (well, and boys, I guess :]). His teacher is, of course, Harris Redde.

(More fun with aging, hehe. Plus, I never pass up an opportunity to draw a chalkboard and write stuff on it.)

cheating is for posers. damn straight. ;/
i really like the differences in their pants, somehow. it's nothing huge, but it's subtle and it works- the folded, crinkled, layingaroundonthefloorforweekswithoutget tingwashed compared to the crinkle-freeness of his teacher's. who has an interesting belt buckle. uh. X3; nice touch.
and i love that blackboard, it has that grainy feel that i hate touching. anyways, looks good. ^-^; though somehow i don't remember any of that from -my- precalc class. e___e maybe it's just me, hah.
something i finally figured out that's keeping your work from progressing much farther- they're all at the same viewpoint. straight on. no dynamic angles or views, like from above or below. it's all eye-level. why not try going crazy with a piece? make it an insane angle you'd never have done normally. :3 have fun with it. i'm sure you can pull it off.
also- the teacher's right foot (our left). doesn't look like it's on the same angle as the floor... you should be able to see more of the top of it, less of a straight horizontal tilt... you know what i mean? o-o;; i'll shut up now. just whap me if you hate my critiquing. ^^;; i don't want to be rude or anything.
:icondana-redde:
lol, no that's okay, I had noticed that, too. I have to work on this stuff in such short spurts here and there that I mean to correct stuff and then don't by the time I ink it, so every pic is full of little errors. I never mind critiques, though the ones that are most useful are ones I can remember to use in future pictures, since by the time I post stuff its not going to be fixed anymore. Which is usually the type you give me, so it's all good, I appreciate it :D

You're right about the angle thing. I'm petrified of it. I still feel like I don't have enough of a grasp of anatomy to fiddle with it, though I really should just get off my ass and do something haha. *pounds chest* I will be brave!!

Why, thank you! Those pants were copied exactly off my awesome history teacher, haha. Ah yes, the Weezer belt. It unnerves me to imagine what Rivers Cuomo and company would look like by the time Harris is 40.

Cheating IS for posers! *self-rightous* I never cheat, its a moral issue. Pisses me off since every single other classmate of mine does. They try to cheat off me constantly, but luckily, my handwriting befuddles even senior hieroglyphics professors, so the cheaters usually just groan and give up. RA-CHA-CHA!!

Pre-Calc is a bitch, I hate it. *dreamy sigh* if only Harris was MY teacher!

oh, dana, it's beautiful! i love all the little touches. you can tell just by looking at mr redde that he'd be the type to organise a battle of the bands!! (and "fun with natural logs" is exactly the type of thing that makes you want to poke maths teachers with a sharp implement!). his pose is also fabulous. i love the twist at the bottom of his shirt, it's just perfect, somehow. im also really impressed that you can just imagine the exact expression on curtis's face just by his pose and the small section of his face we can see.

OMFG, he has a Weezer belt...that's so funny...:rofl: Ahhh, how I love Curtis. He is a fine-ass young man. Love the poses, and all the details...the little stick figures on the chalkboard slay me. XD
