But you see. Not only is she bringing Nerdy Back.

She's bringing SEXY BACK TO NERDY.

Because, despite popular belief, being nerdy is actually being INSANELY HOT. There's nothing like the sound of my boy tapping at his computer keys and doing serious uber UNIX programming and getting down and dirty taking things out of his computer case and putting in TOTALLY NEW BADASS GEAR TO TOTALLY LEET HIS COMPUTER to get me to jump his bones.

And Sammy Sam here agrees! Just tell her all about how you totally gained XP and she's hooked.

Anyway, I wanted to draw some more Sam, because she's just so sweet and awesome, so I was flipping throught a Vogue magazine, finding inspiration from Cameron Diaz. Why, you ask? You see, they both have the same kinda body type, sorta boyish but really feminine at the same time, so Cameron inspired me to draw Sam!

So really, nothing all that exciting, just Sam waving her hands in the air, and waving them like she just doesn't care... or something like that. XD Maybe she's just stretching after a long, hard day of farming with her WOW character, or raiding, or something. In all actuality, while me wanting to draw Sam was a good start to this picture, I also did it for some more anatomy practice, and clothing folds practice as well too. I'm satisfied with the folds, altho I don't know if I positioned them in the right places or not. Hmm.. Ah well tho, I still like this.

The colours came out nicely, too! Altho, the scanner really ate her pants, and because of the background it kinda made this one rumply to scan so thats annoying too. This one was done a little while back, hence the whole thin lines around the face thingie, before I started to thicken the lines. I still like how this one came out tho, altho I don't know if her legs look off or not. I figured they looked alright, since had she had her leg (the one thats stretched out) closer to her body in more of a cross legged position, then I think her hips would be the size that I wanted them to be, but I dunno. I think I might have started the bend too early or something (if that makes any ounce of sense. XD) Ah well tho, I still like how this came out

I used watercolour pencils and markers for her background, thought the squigglies would add all kinds of excitement to the otherwise fairly boring and simple background. As you can see, I was still in the boring shapes in the background phase, so hence the boring square.

Wierd tho. If you look closely, the scanner, like...miss...scanned...the background. It's like near the bottom of the top of the picture (if that makes any sense. XD) it was broken apart, and then photoshopped shittily together. I seriously have NO IDEA why it did that (because it's a scanner and scanners are jackasses, thats why, Jess. ) It's not really noticeable, like, for instance, I JUST noticed it now, but it's just...really annoying now. And I can't stop focusing on it. Stupid scanner making me always think my art is all lame because it scans things in all lamelike. *flailing about*

Well anyway. Either way, I really like this one, the colours came out nice on her peachy parts I think, altho her hands were really irritating to draw..I think I did an okay job with them but I'm sure they still look fail like.

Her shirt reminds me of a honey cruller from Tim Hortons. I don't know why, it just does. OM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM!!

Anyway, just a cute picture of cute Sammy Sam! And she's all nerdy and awesome and stuff because thats super cool.
