Just got a very cool Tick item in the mail today.

 

Me too! Free tick poster and Mucus Tick. Thanks again.

I was playing around with a scan of it...

 

 

[vsndesigns]

Trying to add some color....

[vsndesigns]

And then figured out...that leaving it alone...just the way Ben Edlund left it 27 years ago...was best.

Tick Trivia:

 

Galactic Tick Day fell on September 29, 2016 this year. Next Galactic Tick Day will be on June 26, 2018.

 

Our planet Earth, along with the rest of the Solar System travels around the galactic center of the Milky Way Galaxy every 225 million Earth years.

 

One centi-arcsecond of this rotation is called a Galactic Tick. A Galactic Tick happens every 633.7 days, or 1.7361 years1.

 

Galactic Tick Day is set aside to acknowledge our Sun's motion, our progress around the home galaxy, and to celebrate humanity's knowledge of this motion.

I think I'm going to shelf this project for awhile...I really need to practice my brush work before I attempt to do this and that might take years!

That's funny because it starts with a "rough estimate" of 225million years (82,125,000,000 days)... then it's calculated to down to 0.7 of a single day.

 

Yep, it's 16.8 hours... with an error margin of a few years either way.

Proof of concept

Work in progress

A Darker Tick?

[vsndesigns]

Just an advertisement that came in the case of The Tick POGS for The World POG Federation Dealers advertising the New Blister Pack and Foil Pack alternatives.

The Tick...he's blue and now this loveable, laughable crime fighter comes in his own special pack of POG brand milkcaps. The series includes 60 dynamic milkcap designs and 12 kini designs. The World POG Federation packs quality and collectibility into every product.
