IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN!  Commence art dump!

First, the last of the Infinity Smashed art: the profile images for the cast page. (In the final, there's no gray background, and all are together on the same page.) I had something super-bland at first, but I trashed it and decided to go the "Polaroids with crappy label-maker names" route.  Why not?  The book takes place from 2004-2006.

Polaroid of M.D., dressed in jumpsuit, latex gloves, and surgical mask, holding a large, angry maggot that's vomiting black goop into her face.  Judging by her expression, she has been momentarily distracted by the camera and thus lost track of her patient.  Asides from her name, her photograph also has scribbly flags of the USA and the UDC (both crossed out) and Treehouse, along with the text 'first person narrator.  Jobs: property (crossed out), hoodrat (crossed out), healer.
M.D. has moved so far up in the world.  This is by far the most professional looking photo ever taken of her.

Polaroid for Thomas Rodriguez, with him making a total lecher smile and finger-guns.  He wears a UT football jersey.  The bottom of his Polaroid has flags for Texas, Mexico, and Treehouse, along with the text: 'Jobs: MANY.  Loves: His family, his life, the ladies, you.'
This was the one that made me decide I needed to pitch out what I had before.  The original profile image I had for Thomas was the blandest thing ever.  This one is the first time I feel I have truly achieved Thomas's level of smarm. (Which is, to be fair, in part inspired by my little brother during his late high school years.  Trust me, my little bro TOTALLY made this face a lot.)

A cast Polaroid showing Raige, his name attached with what appears to be a crappy labelmaker.  Raige has headphones on, shaggy red hair, freckles, and twirls drumsticks while reading a book entitled Happy Zappy with a smiling cartoon lightning bolt on the cover.  The bottom part of the Polaroid has an Arizona flag and the text, 'The Geek.  Jobs: 0.  Likes: music, fanfic, romantic sf/f'
Raige's complete lack of job history is based on a childhood friend of mine.  Also why does Arizona have such a hideous flag.  Y'all've seen it, right?  It's a crime against flag design, and all because they thought with a blue ground (for all the water Arizona doesn't have) and red and yellow rays (for all the sun Arizona DOES have), the star should be a dark muddy bronze that doesn't contrast well at all.  Seriously, y'all could've made the star white and it would've been fine, augh.

A black and white drawing of a Polaroid showing Biff in a baseball cap, vest, and sleeveless shirt.  He's pulling his vest tight and looks as though he's just realized he's being caught on photos.  He has sideburns, a curly ponytail, and a cigarette.  His name is at the top in label-maker font, while the bottom has an Arizona flag, and the words 'Man of Many Closets.  Jobs: ...stuff.  Likes: ???'
Biff probably only gets photographed when startled.  I just figure M.D. snuck up on him with his Polaroid while his back was turned and then photobombed him before he could vanish.

A collage card, depicting a skeleton in a billowing beautiful robe in shades of peach, gold, and rose.  She stands on a background of a wave, and cut out text reads, 'I am poor.  I have nothing.  I give you my heart.'
Something Rogan and Sneak made for OUR Biff.  The real thing is done on a business card, very small.

A digital drawing of the skeleton in robes.  Same figure as before, but the lines are much cleaner, and the colors more saturated, with a rich cotton watercolor paper texture.
And this is a digital version I did of the same skeleton, because the watercolors looked too dark while wet and in frustration I tried to redo it digitally.  Go figure, now I like the original hasty scribble done on the subway better.

We love when you do art dumps. It makes us wish we could draw, because that'd be so much fun. :D

Also, I love that polaroid of Raige. Actually, I love them all!
