Hello all. I am mjponso, and chances are you will never hear from me again. I just wanted to post this in a place there there would be a slight possibility that Richard D. James himself would be able to see it (since I can't seem to find an official site). I'm a graphic designer and created the cover design for a fictitious album that was entirely inspired by (and perhaps a tribute to) James' work. http://mjponso.deviantart.com/art/Fictitious-Album-Cover-6- You can find it here: 166758885 As it explains on that page I linked, all elements of the design were inspired by Aphex Twin. The creepy grin was inspired by the one on his self-titled album, the title "...What Makes You Think I Care?" is a response to his album "...I Care Because You Do," and rendering it as a sonogram is a nod to James doing the same to his face in his [Equation] track. By the way, does anyone here know if I can "subscribe" to this topic so I can be notified of replies? I've seen that feature on boards elsewhere, and as I said, I probably won't be returning to this board again. I just want to show this to people who are also familiar with Aphex Twin. |

Sorry, it looks like the URL in the previous post was mangled. Try this link; it goes to the same location. http://fav.me/d2ra7z9 |

What about it don't you like, penexpers, out of curiosity? And wow, I didn't expect responses quite this soon. |

I got rumbled! Guess I just don't like the title and the colour scheme. The grin is nice though. |

This is a particular favourite of mine: So, for the first time at all in six weeks and the first real effort in a LONG time, I've finally done another hand drawing. This picture looks digital, and it is, but it's merely a digital tracing of a hand-drawn image. Just in case you don't believe I drew this by hand, take a look at the original drawing here: [link] Anyway, this happens to be my first drawing of a non-OC character. I got the idea for this picture about a week ago, but I haven't had much time to actually work on it. You may ask why I picked Rouge to draw. It's because Rouge is my favorite Sega character. I wish I knew why. As those of you who know me may know, I can't stand women wearing skimpy outfits. I think women can look just as attractive in other outfits, and that is the basis for this picture. I decided to draw Rouge in sleepwear (complete with slippers) to show her in a more comfortable outfit than her usual fare, which I imagine must be a bugger to put on and remove. Body proportions is one of the things I lecture artists about, and so I was really trying hard to keep things realistically proportioned. The result was a figure of Rouge that looks much less like her usual form and more like a human woman with Rouge's head, which makes me wonder whether I'd do better drawing humans than anthros. As you can see, she lacks all her normal voluptuous curves and in fact looks like she's got a little bit of meat on her bones. It was partially my decision to do so (since a curvy figure kinda goes with the sexy look I was trying to avoid), but at the same time, this doesn't mean I advocate a fat Rouge. |

penexpers, with regards to the title, I knew I had to pick something that was inspired by Aphex Twin. I was split between choosing the name "...But What if I Don't Care?" and "...What Makes You Think I Care?" The first title, in my opinion, would better compliment a face with a skeptical expression, while the second has a "mean" sound to it that goes great with the twisted grin. And wow, Advocate, I didn't expect anyone to bother checking out the rest of my gallery. There's nothing else in there inspired by Aphex Twin, aside from perhaps "Red and White," which was another photomanipulation. |

@ roygbivcore: I have no idea. I just wanted to show it to him since it was entirely inspired by his work. And wow, seems like this is quickly going off topic. I appreciate the compliments on my other work, but I had created the topic for the one picture and that was all. |

Welcome to Xltronic, you were lucky to get any comments on the actual picture. |

great use of text i wouldn't bother trying to reproduce the same face though, i suspect that the grin is some kind of nervous response, maybe involuntary, too |
