Frank's caterpillar
I don't draw, because I can't... but I knew you were all out there saying "Hey, I wonder what Frank's caterpillar looks like." You weren't? Well, anyway, it looks sort of like this. That's about life-size, and it's covered in big scaly plates, so that's why Frank thinks it's not from Earth and would make a pretty darned big butterfly.

	What is that? The linked picture, I mean. I love Frank's growing menagerie. It straddles the line perfectly between cute and weird. :D (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Well... I drew it sort of based on a photo of a caterpillar I had in a book when I was a kid. Though I haven't seen that picture in ages either. "Cute and weird" is exactly what I'm going for here, so I'm glad it's working! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The Hungry Caterpillar, perchance? that was what came to mind immediately for me, so I was curious. :D (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, I was referring a photo of an actual caterpillar, but it did come off looking a lot like the Very Hungry Caterpillar and I did read that as a kid. Frank probably read it to James, too. It eats lots of leaves. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That was just all I could think of when I saw the picture. Probably because I was over visiting my nieces and nephews earlier, and saw the book. I think every parent reads that one to their kids. :D I remember being read it when I was young, and reading it to my nieces and nephews. (And look! Finally an icon where Henry's facial expression actually looks happy!) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes! I was noticing how cute that icon is. I have to get my hands on more Eileen icons. (Poor Frank, he still only has one. I maybe should put up those Richard Dean Anderson pics for PBs, now that I have the net at home again.) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I just found a bunch of SH4 screencaps - essentially the entire game, capped. It's hard finding caps where Henry's expression changes to anything other than thoughtfully perplexed, but I dug through until I finally had icons that display a range of emotions! And a Henry/Eileen icon. Apparently they hug like normal people at one point, at least in the PC version. I couldn't for the life of me remember that scene from when I played, but I'm playing through again now that I have a controller, and I will be keeping my eyes open for it!

(If you want, I've now got plenty of Frank screencaps, I'd be happy to make you some Frank icons!)

	A Henry/Eileen hug? I definitely want to see that. (Any Frank icons would be so much appreciated. I'd be forever indebted to you for that!) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes! It looks like it happens sometime either in Building World or Subway World. I think. There's just gray wall and the edge of a portal behind them, so it's hard to tell. (Sure! I'll whip you up some!) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Some Frank icons from images I was able to clean up with GIMP! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Icons! my_private_life 2008-06-04 08:55 pm UTC (link)
	And one more! For variety. ;) (Reply to this) (Parent)
