lb_leeArt dump, as reward for catching up on my online tasks. EDIT: some of the notes are illegible, so I just transcribed all of them.
I realized that Bob had the world's most boring wardrobe so devoted myself to trying to fix that. Bob also came from an upper-middle class family and blows a LOT of money on clothes that nobody ever gets to see him wear, especially while he's in closeted malaise in Vago and desperate to express himself somehow. He's also a casual furry, but a full fursuit is a bit too much, even for his retail therapy ways.
Notes, transcribed: "The most svelte Bob ever got in 1976 [because he was on the verge of burnout and going full-bore into dancing]; only got hairier as he aged. Hot pants! Okay, I admit it, I just wanted to draw him in leg warmers. Bob's proud of his legs; why wouldn't he be?
There has to be an easier/better way to draw paisley.
Colors (when not in butch closet mode):
* sapphire
* emerald
* magenta (sparing)
* yellow (sparing)
* patterns > solids
* NO BLACK.
In butch closet mode, he's all white, brown, tan, blue. Maybe he dares pink. All solids, business casual, but he kinda hates it.
Still has a weakness for 70s peacock paisley, colors, and patterns.
doesn't own a full fursuit ($); (pointing to cheetah gloves) fingerless on bottom
Closeted in Vago, he buys a shitload of stuff just to express himself somehow. I can't see Bob going for the super-butch leather scene, but I guarantee you he has the outfit anyway.
Bob is the hairiest person in Infinity Smashed. He can't skip a shave day.
Yes he flags right, he's East Coast, not west. He probably still wears his keys on the right even though Vago's west coast, out of nostalgia."
Grey really does just have the world's most boring wardrobe of her natural accord--she was stodgy even as a teenager, and she hasn't updated her fashion since then. Bob probably starts wearing stuff again just because he realizes in horror that he's dressing almost as blandly as Grey.
Notes: "Grey wardrobe. She wears your grand dad's clothes and don't look incredible. Hasn't updated her fashion since the '70s--and was stodgy then. (pointing to sweaters) ribbed or cable knit, brown or cream; (pointing to collars) always buttoned up
Should look like a '50s dad. Super staid colors, neutral, BORING. Argyle vests & socks, brown, gray, maybe some pink come B2 [book 2]. Has built an obscene heat tolerance out of self-consciousness. With Bob, wears more shorts and short sleeves; before, she was more self-conscious about his scars, tried to cover up.
* no jeans
* slacks
* sweats (exercise)
* shorts (only exercise or casual)
* collared shirts to cover scars
(with gym clothes) Closest thing Grey has to flirting clothes--it's also the skimpiest outfit she owns so she doesn't die of heat stroke in Vago summer. But then she figures out Bob's into it.
No ass; belly and chest starting to soften
There's a reason she only wears this to sleep in or run at dawn--no one sees her in them. (Or at the PIN gym, where she's more at ease)
(super self-conscious about her scars; he thinks they make herlook scary, gangstery)
Major scars: Yuki, Plazora, pulse rifle, forearms from herPIN hire, bad knee (not from work; got hit by a car while running one morn), knees and elbows from falls.
High school work clothes.
good luck getting her into a swimsuit or sleeveless shirt or briefs because the "mess" shows.
Has the gaydar of a box of pasta, since she doesn't have a life."
Better cheat sheet for Grey's scars and wear and tear. She's over forty and held together with physical therapy and career zealotry; there's a reason people take her for a gangster, especially in short sleeves. Her body is breaking down, she knows it, and she plans to work herself to death until Bob gives her something else to care about.
(For anyone curious, part of why she's so trashed after Red Roses, Old Horses, is because the 107 knocks out both her bad shoulder and bad knee, and she tries to power through it. There's a reason Bob chews her out with, "you can't keep doing this, you're not twenty-five anymore.")
Notes: "Grey scars ref
neck scars should be visible in T-shirt
Plazora goes all the way from neck to thigh; should be visible in gym clothes; habitually cranks/pops her bad shoulder when alone.
Pulse rifle (this shoulder less mobile, even w/PT) (also prone to dislocation?)
vaccines (PIN Ops guys need a LOT)
elbows also scarred from falls
back pain; wear, tear, and too many hits
"normal" gun shot wounds
her forearms are TRASHED from her hire; they got infected before she got vaxxed and she still has patches of numbness there
The Plazora scar is numb but the borders of that numbness are hypersensitive which Bob likes to play with
both her knees are bad but this one's [on the right] worse; not from work; she got hit by a car jogging one morning (also fucked up her back). If stuck standing too long, she starts stretching to try and keep her knees from stiffening up.
(torn cartilage?) falls; if she has to go down on one knee, it's this [left] one. Deep bends still hurt thought, and forget kneeling on hard surfaces."
Bob probably somewhere between 1975 and 1980, back before the queeniness got steamrolled out of him. Plan to ink and color this one properly once I figure out the drapery. Pose referenced from Assume Nothing. By the time of Red Roses, Old Horses, Bob has spent years being slowly crammed back into the closet and defensive bland butchness.
