Anyway, here's the most recent pic, this time featuring two characters, Mr. and Mrs. Lee:
Next one will have Ms. Fanservice (or at least that's how I see it).

SCRAPS: MLaaVND Commission #1d - Mr. and Mrs. Lee
Sorry about the delay. I recently caught a nasty flu of some sort (thankfully not of the 'swine' variety) but I'm already getting better.
Anyway, here's the most recent pic, this time featuring two characters, Mr. and Mrs. Lee:
Next one will have Ms. Fanservice (or at least that's how I see it).

SCRAPS: MLaaVND Commission #1c - June (XJ-9)
Another pic depicting June, this time as an XJ-9. She's supposed to look like a mold between Jenny and The Silver Shell. Again, there's some placeholder ink lines that are meant to pinpoint where to add shining effects. June's hands are currently coloured pitch black (just like Shell's), although this is likely to change in the final character sheet pic since we haven't decided about her colour scheme yet.
This is actually the very first character I drew for this commission.
The next pic will be a double release and will hopefully appear here in two days.

SCRAPS: MLaaVND Commission #1b - June (XJ-8)
Another one for tonight:
Meet June, the newest addition to XJ Series! She's in the original My Life as a Von Neumann Device, although her role will be much more prominent in the upcoming sequel. It will also explain why she's wearing a rather familiar-looking beanie.
Toonspew wanted me to try out an alternative design for the originally hulking Model 8 and suggested that I try out something in the vein of "ax-crazy loli".
Note that the visible "shine lines" are actually just rough placeholders, indicating the position and type of shine (think Silver Shell from the original series, the shining here is meant to be somewhat similar).
This marks the very first time I've actually illustrated an OC by someone else than me. Yup, exactly.

SCRAPS: MLaaVND Commission #1a - XJ-10
Change of plans. But first, some art as promised:
Some of you might be familiar with the fan fic called My Life as a Teenage Von Neumann Device, written by Toonspew. I reviewed the said fic last summer and found it to be enjoyable to read (which is quite rare for a guy like me who doesn't care for fan fiction that much). Anyway, when I informed that I was taking commissions, Toonspew ordered multiple pics based on the his fan fic and its possible sequel. The very first one was to be a character sheet, depicting eight characters from both fics (but mainly from the upcoming sequel).
Of course, you might wonder why it took me over three months to pump out a single black-and-white inking. The short answer is: stuff happened. The longer answer would be a tediously boring story about various real life events that conflicted my working schedule, various health problems I've had (conflincting medicine = ouch) and so on. But that's a thing of past now.
Now about the whole "change of plans" thing. The reason why you are seeing a single character instead of the complete character sheet is because Toonspew wished that I first release every character separately and then release the complete character sheet after that. I guess this is a good thing because that way you don't have to wait until I've inked all the characters.
This pic depicts Jenny in her XJ-10 form, which appears very late in Toonspew's fic. I based the pic heavily on the unfinished XJ-10 blueprints briefly visible in the MLaaTR Christmas Special and this piece by odaleex, with some of my own ideas thrown in the mix. For more info, check out the fic itself.
It's good to be back.
