Nature aka Philosophy With a Small Yellow Cheetah (Comic #769)
Posted on November 8, 2024 by liz

This comic was inspired by a painting in my doctor’s waiting room! The saying irritated me a little, so I turned into a comic! Yay for inspiration.

Thanks to all my patrons and a special big extra thanks to Kate Webb, Erik Owomoyela, Stuart Barrow, Jesse the K, Brian Fies and Tracey Radford.

 

Nature Comic Transcript

Narrator: Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.

Cheetah: Hmmmm, I hurry sometimes, and I don’t get my quarry.

Narrator: But overall…

Cheetah: Huh?

Narrator: Like… statistically

Cheetah:  I think, statistically, nature doesn’t care about accomplishments.

The cheetah chases a gazelle.

Cheetah: And that is a different kind of freedom!

This version is a little bit different to the first draft. When my muse makes suggestions I like to say yes whenever I can. Thanks Bunson! I decided not to color this one as I’m thinking this might make a nifty coloring book. What do you think?

Nice smile

I’ve been at the Nebula Awards this weekend. I try to sketch people during panels. Sketching people can make me very uncomfortable (we know the human face so well that we can easily tell when minute proportions are off) especially when it’s people I admire. Regardless of how unhappy I am with the sketches I feel like time spent drawing 3-d humans is never time wasted. It helps me develop my craft and it helps me pay attention to the panel. I really wanted to capture Chip/Samuel R. Delany’s wonderful smile. His smile has a way of lighting up a room. I’m moderately pleased with this 5 minute sketch. I almost showed it to him, but I chickened out. 20140519-113857.jpg
