[ The real problem here is having to work slowly enough to avoid smashing any of his fingers while he's hammering nails in. An unfortunate built in limiter. ]

[Well, you've got some time; he can only go so fast on these knots.]

[ Enough time that it doesn't take long for him to realize it'll get boring without any conversation. He gets as far as nailing the frame for the wall together before he speaks up ]

How long does it normally take you to finish a bigger project like this?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Don't usually do em all at once, honestly. I do a little bit, then leave it and pick em up when I got free time again.

[iamverybadass]

Sounds like the way most of my sketches go. It takes some time before I finally finish them with color.

[crossmyheartandhope]

You draw?

[iamverybadass]

Yes. I don't have any memories of it, but I'm good enough that I must have done it before coming here.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Dude, that's awesome. You ever feel like showing off, I totally wanna see.

[iamverybadass]

I don't have my sketchbook with me today, but I usually carry it with me if I don't have other plans. You can ask to see it any time.

[crossmyheartandhope]

I'll hit you up next time you got it on you.

[iamverybadass]

I'll make sure to have something good in it for you.

[crossmyheartandhope]

What kinda stuff do you usually draw?

[iamverybadass]

Still lifes. Portraits. Sometimes a landscape if I'm in the mood. I use a realistic style.

[crossmyheartandhope]

You work from pictures, or for real life, usually?

[iamverybadass]

Real life. Pictures are too... They've already captured a moment. I prefer capturing my own.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Isn't it hard? You gotta be fast, right?

[iamverybadass]

Or have a good memory.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Yeah, I bet. That how you usually swing it?

[iamverybadass]

Yes, so it needs to be something I'm pretty familiar with if I'm drawing from reality.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Got any grand plans? Anything you super wanna work on?

[iamverybadass]

There is a portrait I want to do. One with every member of Wild City in it. It will take longer to do since I'm working from memory alone.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Man... good luck, dude. That sounds hard.

[iamverybadass]

It is. Planning the composition, keeping track of the lighting and shading... But it will be worth it in the end.

Like you and your model.
