A commission from ages ago that has finally made its way to its true owner. Violet, Musky, Angel and Paige hang out in the evening, blowing off their homework.
A shoutout to rgibson here! I don't know how her Jack Salem got through the show's screening process, but I predict very high ratings -- even if the season is much shorter than usual.
This was drawn and inked on bristol and then colored with pencils. I used to color with markers, but there was always trouble with color fastness or bleeding. Pencils are now my first choice for non-digital colors.
Things are so different now. Remember when televisions looked like squarish boxes and the cable broadcasts sometimes went out? And you didn't need an inline converter box for general broadcasts? That was years ago. Survivor was popular then.

"Survivor" would have been a much shorter series if Salem had been on the shows...or it would have been as long but really, really horrifying.
Yes, not only am I old enough to remember square TVs, and cable, but rabbit-ear antennas,TV broadcasting stations that shut down at a certain hour, and B&W TV.
Although I can honestly say this *is* the first time the antenna was more interesting than the broadcast.

This was inspired in part by a quote from Clint Eastwood, when asked about Survivor: "I'd have killed them all within a week, and that would have been the end of it."
As I recall, this version of the show had to go on hiatus two seasons later during the filming of "Survivor: City of Ice," when most of the production team was eaten. The host -- who had in fact survived the Jack Salem incident with a particularly dramatic and highly rated scene with Salem in the Confession Booth -- was eventually bought back for two cases of cigarettes and a stack of ration coupons, but declined further involvement with the production.

I formerly used Schwan-Stabilo watercolor markers, which had fantastic color but were not colorfast over the long term -- after four or five years the color would fade (especially in the yellow-brown range), which I thought was not real value. I also tried chemical markers, which are more colorfast; but aside from being expensive, going dry and stinking mightily, they're hard to blend and have a bad tendency to bleed through pages, and bleed across thin lines on the toothier paper that's best for inking and drawing. Colored pencils are both controllable and colorfast, and easy to transport, and don't dry out. It's also easy to tell when they're about to run out!
The ink I use is technically not ink: it's Badger Air Opaque Black, which is a black airbrush acrylic. Stan Sakai turned me onto the stuff after FW Black changed its formula and it got all gray and watery. It dries quickly on the page but stays liquid a long time in an inkpot, and it's waterproof (practically everything-proof) and very black. I recommend trying it for anyone who's inking with a brush... which is like me and four other guys.

Ah! OK!
I used Prismacolor artists pens, and yea, they ARE expensive! But the blender pen did a good job at blending the colors or putting on highlights, if needed. I would use Speedball Super Black India ink for the black out lining. There are, then, times I would get a little more detailed and use Prismacolor pencils for highlights and extra needed details. Once in a while I would add Liquitex acrylic at places, as well.
All this I used on Strathmore 2-ply Bristol board. I can get a number of different results using these mediums. Of course, art supply prices, today, are just so sky-high anymore. It's hard for a low-level artist to make some sort of profit out of his artwork, anymore.

You saw this elsewhere? I never posted it, and the original was in this room until two weeks ago. Maybe I emailed a scan to someone? Bizarre.
Every time I post old stuff someone posts to say "this is old" even if it's never been on the internet before so 90% of the current fandom has never seen it -- not even on 4chan -- so I'm being incentivized to post only the newest of new material. I can't even color something from a few years ago without someone pointing out that it's old. Old stuff that is old has become deprioritized because I now look at it and just think "people will just say this is old."
Old stuff that is old will be posted somewhere eventually, inserted in with the new stuff.
