Piro tumblr chibi-rant space, and a place to dump images and sketches and drawings and stuff. Also a repository of all the signed sketches i've been doing for people. Whee :)
Like i said, i wont share the final version of this when it’s done, but here’s a look at what the colored version is looking like. It’s getting there, not looking too bad. There are a lot of things about this that DON’T work, but overall it’s not too bad of an image, and is at least somewhat dynamic. I had great difficulty avoiding doing this as the ‘OHAYO!’ version, which involves a toothbrush and a cup of coffee and morning bleary eyes…
![A work in progress screencap of the illustration i’ve been working on for the Anime Angels artbook, a (possibly?) fanciful scene from unMod with the wingless (but magical-girl flight-like leaping ability) Yuki is showing the angel-wing Fet-modded and flightless Piroko how to ‘fly’. [Fet-mods == Fetish mods; read the unMod Omake to understand why Piroko has a set] I won’t be posting the finished image online for a while - not until after the book comes out, but i’ll share enough of these that you’ll get a sense of it. Need to have it colored by the 28th, which is coming up fast…](http://www.megatokyo.com/scr33n/scr33n_2012-03-22_32820.png)

A friend of mine toyed around with that Piroko Angel NyanNyan chibi image i did a while ago, and the lines actually came out looking really good - i swapped out my original linework for the cleaned up vector lines, tweaked the color a bit and… she looks pretty good :) (here’s a 300 dpi high res version if you want to make wallpapers or whatnot). Thanks Maarkov!
Ok, well today was fun. Got the tanks all fixed up and dried overnight. A test of the tanks for leaks showed that two of them leaked (air bubbles came out when pressure was applied to the empty tank) so i had to re-goup them with silicone and let them dry. Just as i was getting it all ready to go, things were filled, ink was flowing, print heads were giving out normal test patterns, etc… i noticed a screw on the floor that hadn’t been there before. Also, oddly, no reason to make a connection here, but the ink stopped flowing into the print heads and the printer stopped working.
(sigh)
It seems that a screw in the capping station that i had JUST FIXED a few weeks ago had shuttered loose (vibration probably) and while i can’t see for the life of me why that screw would completely stop the functionality of the printer… after yanking things apart and putting them back together again… i was able to do a successful test print. yay!
Now i can start printing the stuff that i was going to print *yesterday afternoon* -_- I think i’m in the mood to listen to Tool. LIke, lots of Tool. at high volume. Yes.
