Artist's Comments This took me. So. Long. GAHHHHHHHHHH. But I like it a lot, and I hope ~dutchesscourtney does too. This is my depiction of a scene she sent me from her newest story, Crossing the Line, in which her character Julia McCoy completely nails a field show judge... (in my 4 years in marching band, I never had the privilege of hitting one) Poor man dropped his tape recorder!  This also marks a "first" in my art: this was not done with the GIMP. I used Adobe Photoshop Elements from start to finish. I think it's a bit more confusing than the GIMP in some areas, but in others, it is definitely superior. Enjoy, ~dutchesscourtney. P.S. I'll be submitting my order for The Line tomorrow from Amazon.com!  Time taken: At least 12 hours Materials: Photoshop Elements + Wacom Graphire4 tablet Music: DRUM CORPS! Credit: Julia McCoy and Quincy are (C) Courtney Brandt. Image is (C) =SaxGirl1010. Comments Great job!! Ha! Get those Judges! Me and my friends once talked about a drill move circling a judge and totally squishing him.
-- ~You're not quite evil enough. You're semi-evil. You're quasi-evil. You're the margarine of evil. You're the Diet Coke of evil, just one calorie, not evil enough.~ Dr.Evil  Nice!
I've always wanted hit a judge too. I've come close, but I don't think I actually hit one. Looks like the quints (or are they just quads, I'm bad with names) brushed up against the judge. Sort of a sideswipe? is that what you were going for? -- Est Sularas oth Mithas: my honor is my life I could never give that up   Jessica Lipinski at one point was telling me about how sometimes people run into the judges.....
 -- Ars longa vita brevis—Art is long life is short Icon made by: =SaxGirl1010 Member of =PastDervishandBanges  Oh, poor Julia. She just keeps running into trouble - literally. My protagonists just make writing fun. When I wrote this scene, it simply happened and I realized it was the perfect one to illustrate. This was sooooooooo definitely worth the wait. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
 If I was living in the country, I would send you a signed copy...but as it is, I only have on copy here in the UAE with me. Thank you for a wonderful Christmas present! Now, I have to go get started on the follow up to this scene... --  I write books about marching band! - [link]  Awesome. Makes me miss marching band.
-- Nerds are what makes the world go 'round.  I'm fairly sure she's knocked one over at some point, and she's only a sophomore! Lucky!
At least in our marching band, "judge bowling" is the collective term for trying to knock judges over. It's all really a matter of chance - there's no guarantee that a judge will be too concentrated on recording critique into their tape recorder and in your drill set. -- Avatar by =MenInASuitcase Help me out: Commission me! Well, hey, thanks for providing a great scene to illustrate!
I'm flattered. You're so welcome for this, and thank you again.  -- Avatar by =MenInASuitcase Help me out: Commission me! Me too... I'll never get to hit a judge.
Thanks!  -- Avatar by =MenInASuitcase Help me out: Commission me! I've been hit by a guard member... not fun.
 but no judges for me. They're quints - named Quincy. Well, that's kind of my problem. I can never draw pictures with a lot of "impact," and I'm not very good at motion, so in actuality, Julia was supposed to be completely "mowing down the judge," as Courtney said, whereas he looks like he's been knocked off balance by a nudge to his hip. So yes and no. -- Avatar by =MenInASuitcase Help me out: Commission me! |
