Description Tip: it's all very well to stick with common etiquette when meeting a member of another species for the first time. However, you may want to give some consideration to any physiological differences that would affect a given display of friendliness. Just sayin'.



This is not the bigger project I'm working on that was in that scrap on the pen tool, obviously. But I had the sketch for this sitting around for quite a while, and I wanted something I could post so's to keep things a little more regular around here. Besides, this gave me some great opportunities for trying out brush/pen combinations for texturing, instead of the noise + filter approach I have been using.

And this may or may not be the harpy from this picture. Maybe the memory of her lost hands is why she looks disgruntled instead of bemused?

Yep I liked the design, and I've been meaning to do another pic with her for a while...

Noticed. The design's very cool. Is she a macaw or a bird of paradise?

Macaw. I always liked that color scheme.

Yeah. They're neat.

I'm imagining they're one of those outfits that have a way of mysteriously vanishing from existence after leaving a troublesome item with an unwary shopper

I don't think corporations wrk that way. They'd settle out of court, they don't have 'death squads', they're not the SS.

Nah, not death squads, just your good old-fashioned "mysterious disappearing shop" trick on a larger scale

Because that looks good on the evening news.

Ah, but it's not going to wind up on the evening news if the station can't verify that the company ever existed now, is it?

...well, maybe on FOX...

I laugh at the fail.

All corporations are registered with the government. They can easily verify. The pills are easily traced (you gave them a nice label, a return box, and an email address).

Eh, yeah, but it works for a plot device Besides, I can just pass the blame to ~SinsVenials for setting up the whole event.
