Ran out of time

Didn't help I kept getting art block on this thing, or that I was also too stubborn to do something else. I really should refrain from keep on picking on Decepticons. Not only would it be hazardous to my health but it doesn't really help my case when I say I tend to like them more than the Autobots.
Someone should also shoot me for bad dialog.
That said, I've discovered that Coneheads are exponentially more fun and easier to draw than the standard seeker. I'm going to ask for suggestions now, as my Idea Well is starting to run dry. At least for things that wouldn't take more than a day's work.
Inspired by bunny number two.

on 2009-01-09 05:53 am (UTC)Out of..traction? I'm confused.
Sorry for the weird formatting, I'm kind of tired from classes
on 2009-01-09 06:57 am (UTC)From Wikipedia: In orthopedic medicine, traction refers to the set of mechanisms for straightening broken bones or relieving pressure on the skeletal system. There are two types of traction: skin traction and skeletal traction. The purpose of traction is to:
* To regain normal length and alignment of involved bone.
* To reduce and immobilize a fractured bone.
* To lessen or eliminate muscle spasms.
* To relieve pressure on nerves, especially spinal.
* To prevent or reduce skeletal deformities or muscle contractures.
In most cases traction is only one part of the treatment plan of a patient needing such therapy. The physician’s order will contain:
* Type of traction
* Amount of weight to be applied
* Frequency of neurovascular checks if more frequent than every four (4) hours.
* Site care of inserted pins, wires, or tongs
* The site and care of straps, harnesses and halters
* The inclusion of any other physical restraints / straps or appliances (eg. mouth guard)
* the discontinuation of traction
Although the use of traction has decreased over the years, there is an increasing number of orthopedic practitioners that are using traction in conjunction with bracing.
Hence the phrase "out of traction"; I should have waited until he was uninjured enough to speak to me.
It's fine, classes can really take a lot out of you
on 2009-01-09 07:13 am (UTC)And Medic-speak! It feels kinda obvious now that that's what you meant, but my brain was stuck on traction as in how slippery is the ground. Feel free to use it whenever, hopefully I won't be as dense in the future.
Your first comment is now awesome and is giving me ideas.
Oh yeah, AND I haven't been getting enough sleep to boot
on 2009-01-09 07:30 am (UTC)It's the opposite for me; my brain always associated traction with crazy stunt aftermaths. While the results are worth it, medic-speak is hard--I'm working off Scrubs, House, and the Internet, and it's still a challenge. I'm fine with it, though.
~Hee hee...Ideas are good. Feed, my pretties, feed.
Ouch, is it at least good sleep?
on 2009-01-09 07:47 am (UTC)That's something I know all too well. If there's something else in the natural world that a phrase can refer to, I'll usually think of that first no matter how common the actual meaning is. Or a phrase that most people think as one thing will mean something else because I know about the subject. EX: Lion-heart. Usually means brave/noble, but all I can think of is a lazy bully/childkiller who steals others' hard earned food/whatever.

That is really funny. I'm glad my bunny helped that.
If you want a suggestion, how about (insert name here) leaning down to shoot a plot bunny. What the transformer doesn't realise is that there are hundreds behind him. All about to pounce.
Or even some random transformer watching innocent creatures playing, and then some predator jumping on them and killing them all. I'd be tempted to put Beachcomber in if I could draw, just to be nasty.
Thank you
on 2009-01-10 01:30 am (UTC)*is amused at the mention of Beachcomber* I just used him in a pic. This fandom telepathy thing is just awesome. Personally I think having the other Autobots being disturbed instead would be better. Especially if Beachcomber and Hound are all nonchalant about the whole thing. *feeds bunny and asks it to please wait patiently*

Then again, there's a few art challenges going on at the tf2007fun comm right now, like this one (http://community.livejournal.com/tf2007fun/1296352.html#cutid1), in which I think the Aztec culture would be more appropriate. After all, many alien enthusiast already think some of the gods are actually modeled after other worldly visitors.

*ponders the challenge* That sounds FUN. *breaks out pencil and paper*
