Alien Anatomy
Jeff’s got some weird anatomy and it can be a challenge to draw. Sometimes he’s a quadruped, sometimes a biped . . . sometimes standing on his back leg-like tentacle appendages, sometimes on his front ones. Sometimes balancing on just one. Usually his legs are pretty short which makes it interesting when he has to reach his head. Luckily the Warbling Orange-Crested Quadrapus doesn’t have an internal skeleton (except for a pretty thick skull) so he can stretch those arms far enough to feed himself. Here’s a bunch of sketches of Jeff and his alien anatomy.
Jeff is such a cutie. I’d be his friend any day. Particularly love the happy/silly smiling eyes fully open four-legs-on-the-ground jeff near the bottom left corner 🙂
Now you just have to use that “ying”
Also, second face from the top-left corner looks like Yoshi
THIS IS AMAZING! I’m jealous…I’ve been far to scatter-brained (i.e. lazy) to work something like this up for my own stuff…bravo!
@ Ben: Thanks! That was the first sketch I did on this page too.
@ Frank: “Ying!” I think that’s a response to eating something sour (do Quadrapi taste sour?) or sitting on something particularly prickly. Or getting goosed.
@Denver: You have nothing to be jealous of. I’ve been to your comic and I’ve seen all the sketchbook stuff you’ve posted. Now that’s awesome work!
I just re-read this from my post: “Do Quadrapi taste sour?” No, apparently they taste like bacon according to today’s comic. I’m laughing at my own jokes here.
Atch! Der correct greek plural of “pus” is “podes”, not “pi”!
Thanks Frank. My greek is limited to the names of mythological figures, dinosaur species, and food. Quadrapodes they are. Silly me for forgetting that “pus” was greek and not latin (which it would then be “pi”).
