Sooooo, I was about to do a bunch of scanning for an art post, and then I noticed that most of the stuff I'd drawn recently was in pencil, and then I gave up.
Even with the extensive high-tech array of settings available to me when scanning (there are three: brightness, contrast, and dpi), I have never managed to make it play nice with pencil drawings. And while I am not at "do nothing but lie in bed watching Kyou Kara Maoh!"* levels of sick, I am in no way healthy enough to bother with staring at a screen fucking with levels for a few hours.
So here is a thing I drew in pen. I'm quite proud of it, especially since I made it up as I went along.
*Which is actually the best thing in the world do to when you're brain-dead from flu or similar. No, seriously. Scientific studies have shown this to be true. (And by scientific studies I mean me.) Though I think Star Trek TOS might be just as good.
