My New Symbols Package In The Works! - Or - Uncle Bill's Been Busy...

Ok people, here's a real puzzler. How does a guy like me - who is a chronic couch potato with no social life to speak of - do with the OODLES AND MOUNTAINS of free time that he has (thank God) - that would be just a tad bit more productive than laying around watching the idiot box, while I grow mold on my armpits and Idaho yams sprout from between my toes? ANSWER - MAKE STUFF - YAAAAYYYYYYY!!!!!

Here's what I've been up to lately (graphic). A small part of a much larger collection to be. Yes - I can actually do things with a pen and paper, lol. I did editorial cartoons for my college campus newspaper way back (it counted as extra credit), and I spent an entire wasted childhood doodling in class, and - well - sleeping, lol. Someday at my eulegy, somebodie's gonna step up to the podium and say "Yeah - Bill was more or less a complete waste of moderately satisfactory genetic material...BUT MAN COULD HE DOODLE! Lol. Anyway - this thing's a WIP.

Input is invited - also - since I have never bought a seperate symbols / art package for CC3 (YET), I need to know if you guys get them as already outputted CC3 catalogue formats, or as straight forward PNGs? Inquiring minds wanna know.

    Thanks Jimmy, Some of it is stuff that I had in my inventory that I did a while back for a clip art project that I was into, that I re-adapted for this purpose - and some of it's new. I have almost used up the last ink of my last drawing pen, lol. I've gotta get some more pens. I like Flair and BIC Fine point gel pens but they can get expensive when you buy them in bulk. I haven't really shopped for any more in a long time because I've been into 3d modelling lately so much. I bought a Koala artist's pen once that you had to refill yourself and clean with one of those ultrasonic doohickees, and that thing was like $80.00, and it didn't even hold as much ink as my trusty Flair, that set me back only about $1.59. I usually get like a three pack for about four bucks, and use'em till they dry up. The problem is - is that they dry up FAST! Lol.

    Those are fantastic your very talented. I've seen some profssional artists who went to expensive schools, like SCAD, who's work isn't as good as yours.
    Love to see them done as a symbol set.

    Thank you Jay. I want to do A LOT of these, I've gotta get some new pens - I keep running out of ink! Lol. I use to use the plastic tip ultra fine line pens - but I had a habit of putting too much pressure on them when I would draw - and the tips, over time, would end up getting smashed back up into the ink pen. Had to switch to gel rollers.

    I had some manual drafting classes in college and Junior high school, and some CAD classes in college. I've been drawing since the doctor smacked me when I was born - mom thought about sueing him, because he gave me a black eye ("OOOOooooooh - BAD JOKE! SHAME ON ME!!!!!!) Lol :)
