After the last posting which generated much discussion and debate about the various esoteric pros and cons of weapon design one sometimes needs to step back to more simple straightforward things. Skunk butt. This was a piece inspired by a good friend of mine the late Gerald Perkins.
One night he was describing a short story he'd read years ago in which the main character had gained the ability to travel either between realities or points in time. I can't remember which at the moment. Anyway he succeeds in getting himself royally screwed up and ended up stuck in a post-apocalyptic world where he and one other person is sitting by a campfire cooking the only food they had. A rump of skunk. When the hero is rescued at the end of story, his warning to his rescuers who have brought him back to this world is. "No! That way lies rump of skunk!" Rosemary took exception to this comment.
When I got back and went to bed the first I saw when I entered dreamstate was this image and Rosemary asking the question. "What's wrong with rump of skunk?" Image size 11"x 14". Medium color pencil with some marker, gouache, and micron pen.

She's beautiful - and after it took me a while to divert my eyes to the rest of the picture, I noticed you'd managed to give the sheet a very cloth-like appearance, too.
It's strange how my eyes have also learned to completely tune out the watermarks you put in, too - they were a distraction when I first watched you, but I honestly don't notice them at all now unless I consciously look.

I think that I'd rather enjoy eating that skunk butt right out. Almost as much as I'd hope she enjoyed it. *grins* Of course there would be other things on our menu as well. Thanks for sharing this and all your other pics. It's one thing just to make pinups, but you re creating a whole backstory to go along with them.
Gerry is the first postumous nominee we've had for an Ursa Major Award, for one of his last short stories.

The story, of course, is by the American writer, R. A. Lafferty. It came to mind the moment I saw your thumbnail.
"Is it started yet? Glasser asked.
"Is it finished?" Audifax O'Hanlon questioned.
"Push the button, Epikt!" Diogenes barked. "I think I missed part of it. Let's try again."
"Oh, no, no!" Valery forebade. "Not again. That way is rump of skunk and madness."
-- R. A. Lafferty, "Thus We Frustrate Charlemagne." Appeared in the February 1967 issue of Galaxy magazine; reprinted in the collection, Nine Hundred Grandmothers.

Holy crap--I read that story when I was in college! A group of scientists use a machine to travel to other realities and the last place was a cave wherein the computer was replaced by a totemic mask someone had to speak thru...
"That last part was rump of skunk and madness..."
"That last part was rump of skunk and madness..."
and thats "What's wrong with rump of skunk?"...
in this case nothing woring with that finely shaped backside waht shes had
i mean she can proud of her backside[and her other part as well] ;D
i'm gladly pet her *special* side, to make her **
she's just need to ask, no,no, she's just have to look _very_ suggestive... ;)

THere's nothing wrong with that skunk's rump!
Oh yes, Baron, while talking about Gerald Perkins (God bless you, Jerry), let me add that I love the work you did for his two-parter Yarf! story Steel Angel. It was one of the best written & illustrated stories to ever show up in the magazine.

I dunno how I forgot to fave this, but allow me to correct.
There's one thing that confuses me. If Rosie doesn't know she's a character in your mind, how did she know you had been discussing rump of skunk with your friend? I understood she posed like this (love that full nudity, by the way -completely naked women are one of my weaknesses) to refute the story's character's distaste for rump of skunk, but to do that, she'd have to know of it beforehand... unless it was an amazing (and lucky) coincidence.
(The answer's probably in the comments, but I anticipate they'd be painful to read today...)

Ah, the explanation is this. Petina knows she's a character of my subconscious and she can for lack of a better description "See the raw data feed" which means she knows about humans and what not.
My other characters can comment on things I've observed but for them everything has been processed to be appropriate for their dreamscape. So if Rosemary is listening in on something everyone will appear as anthropomorphic characters, and since my late friend Gerald did appear in some of my dreams she was already familiar with him as a person.
Help?
