Fan-art

Those one or two of you who have been following this blog (and the "1-2" figure is highly overestimated) know of my love of webcomics in general and asofterworld in particular.

So it is only natural that from time to time i've had thoughts that, to me at the very least, seemed like they would go perfectly with the ASW format. Besides, SOMETHING should be done with the vast number of blurry or otherwise unusable pictures i've clicked over the years... So, here's my humble attempt at some ASW fan-art. I hope you like it. If you don't like it, you're probably a terrorist.


Probably. 

... or my keys? 

Both the pictures used were clicked by me. I would've uploaded the original pics too, but i am lazy. The ASW template i found here. I used GIMP to actually merge the photos with the template because i'm too cheap to pay for photoshop. The lettering is in the same font that ASW uses (Love letter tw), although i've chosen to type in white and without a box as opposed to the 'black within a white box' format that ASW uses.

I quite like the binocular motif for the first one because it lends it an air of spying eventhough that's actually a picture of a friend looking for birds. The second one, i hope, is evocative of a thoughtful, even slightly bemused look. For those of you not in the know, rule 43 is an internet rule that says that you can find anything on the internet if you look long enough. And the cosmic teapot knows i've been on here long enough! :)

On the whole I'm not too unhappy with these... maybe you'll like them too?

"Bushido" sounds a LOT like "Bullsheeto" :P

My friend, Ankit, who is very nice (his boss agrees), sent me an imitation Katana from Japan (where he is currently pretending to work hard)... He sent me an imitaion (blunt edged) sword because he knows me too well to trust me with a sharp blade...

It's a beautiful sword with and awesome Dragon engraved on the blade as well as on the scabbard... :D

Enemies of the Samurai, BEWARE! The warrior has nothing better to do than take pictures of his pretty sword and is therefore liable to slice your head right off only to lessen the boredom... :P

HAHAHAHA

Found this gem in the 22nd Rajputana Rifles Mess... Very apt for an Infantry unit... :P

These guys had the most awesome collection of silverware i've ever seen... and i've seen plenty... What distinguished their collection was that theirs was very rich in antiques... They had a silver Surahi which has only one other copy... the copy is in Hyderabad's Salarjung Museum... They also had a silver cocktail shaker with names of about 10-12 cocktails etched along the rim. When you turned the cylindrical body of the shaker so that the notch reached a particular cocktail... The ingredients of the cocktail would appear in little rectangular boxes carved into the body of the shaker!! :D :D :D

Spotting

Below are a few pictures of my friend Rajeev...i've put in one picture of a "primitive" simian... Just for comparison... If you can spot the simian, Rajeev's evolved sufficiently... :-)

Some more exam time doodling

As is apparent... I'm not too finicky about where i doodle...

Exam time Creativity

It was that part of the year again. The part when exams arrive and force me to open my books. But i'll be damned if i can be forced to study :P
This is just a small sampling of all the doodling (and allied tp) that i did throughout the duration of my exams...


This is what i drew (or rather, doodled)



Black and White



Sepia




Negative

HEHEHEHEHE


I was in Wilson College to give my M.Sc. final year exam... As would be expected of me, i wasn't prepared...I could only described as a bundle of nerves... And STILL... i found it in me to be amused by the writing on the old regulator...

Errr.... Can i have the time please??

Came across this panel full of LED time pieces.... Found it funny at the time...

This particular peak is known as "Babita's Boob"... For a very special reason... Anyone who's been a cadet at the Naval Engineering College, Lonavala would know the reason... The rest may ask me... I'm not a cadet, present or former, of the said institute but i have friends who are...


The Sunset as seen from Tiger's leap (or was it lion point??), Lonavala...

The Original Pic


The Final Product

Mamta's budday gift....


That's me and my buddy Thapliyal on my terrace... This pic was taken on the 1st of Jan 2007... The only sunrise we'll see the whole year... too damn lazy to wake up in time for the rising :P

It's Thapli's data cable that i'm using now to upload pics....
