scottobear | #6308 Rooting around in old folders

Holy cow.. looking through some old pictures from the end of '99, top of 2000.... I *have* lost a lot of weight. I think I look better with the goatee rather than the full beard, too. Also found a pile of old sketches, very clearly influenced by Alex Toth. (though of course, his stuff is nostalgic and amazing, and mine is simply nostalgic..)

Also inside were some old palm sketches... Doc Firestone's Gusano, and a really awful, yet accurate self-portrait. (drawn in early 2000, I think ... before I knew I could export in black and white, rather than "pseudo-palm colors.. though maybe later, because I knew that I could go a little taller than the screen resolution on my face. )

The Gusano.. Doc Firestone's 2nd Digging device, after the Calliope. I wasn't really fond of Doc Firestone as a character, but I liked the design of his family and hooks.

Self-portrait... the sleepy giant gazing down.
