Darth who? Why, what ever are you talking about?

Good to know. Might need to get back into that again, just unsure of what I'd be making. Need the inspiration.

The following are a bit older. Both are done on paper with black pen and a Sharpy.
I dug them up and found I love the symmetry enough to post up.

This second conjures images of spacecraft and anti-grav technology for me.

Alright, that's incredible. Can I use that as an avatar?

It would honor me very much if you did so, no-Name. Be my guest.

It is time to explode
For what could be more exciting
than sitting beside oneself at a table
in a crowded place
a food court, do ye ken
and a quiet one, at that
and you climb upon the table
and you make a scene
and then
(as you whisper 3 2 1, can you say Hallelujah!)
you bow
(as everyone eats at their leisure)
you see the faces
(and the second hand on the wall erect into vertical)
you
Explode
in righteous fury
And intestines
And blood, a beating heart
And a pair of lungs!
And the general set of guts you were given at birth
Go flying hither and tither
Onto awestruck, disgusted faces
(your food is ruined, ol' chap)
And amidst the screams of horror
(the security guard is running away)
The intestines
The blood, a beating heart
A pair of lungs,
And the general set of guts you were given at birth
Come rolling back together
Until
all at once
You stand upon the table
Eyes screaming victory
Eyes seeing less
And then dark
And then a bed.
You reach down beside this bed
(your bed)
Pull out a pad with pen
And thou didst scribble a check mark,
Under "Dream Tasks"
next to,
"Successful Explosion"

Finally got around to doing something. The original image was a photograph of a costume I wore a few years back, drawn up and with color added. Woowoo.

Sun Warrior

Skin patterns, hrmmm.

**Invader** · 03-05-2010 09:24 AM

Two images referenced in making this. Had to do it. The universe has a wicked sense of humor.

**panta-rei** · 03-05-2010 05:17 PM

I love you.

**Xaqaria** · 03-06-2010 06:38 AM

I love that looking through this thread, there is a clear progress over the last year. It started out good and got better and better.

**Loaf** · 03-06-2010 06:48 AM

Nobody has given this thread 5 star? Pfft. I'm doing it now.

**panta-rei** · 03-06-2010 07:28 PM

No one rates threads any more, Breadman.

Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

A wise person once said, "Do not thank me for what you should already know."
TNX anyways, the feelings are mutual.

Thank you for that Xaq! I'm glad to hear there's been improvement. I'd feel pretty bad if I'd have been sitting in the same place skill-wise.

I don't feel like I've ever really thanked you enough for the amount of support you've shown my lil' thread. I should have done so earlier, but unless I'd been submitting something I'd feel like I was bumping this. Bah, excuses, I know. Thank you for all of the light you've given my pieces of work here.

I'm not quite sure how this really began. I was doodling next to another piece, and decided to drag this onto a new canvas. It became a face, and then a face that looks a lot like my own, and then more so. Not really sure what to call this. Maybe "Supernumerary Wizard." That pair of words has been buzzing around in my head a great deal for the past two weeks, though I have little idea as to why that is.

I wish I had a pointy beard.

**Loaf** · 03-15-2010 05:32 AM

Pointy beards... I've never really seen one in person.

**Kraftwerk** · 03-18-2010 02:28 PM

I've been lurking and popping in from time to time, but I have to say, invader this is some AMAZING stuff you've got in here!

Don't we all?

I do enjoy the name...

I'm a little upset I drew this on the same layer as the background, couldn't add colour in the way I'm used to, so it's black and white.. derp. Think I'll post sketches as I go along, I've gotten inspired to draw again after a long period of, well, not feeling like drawing.

I should probably try working on actual facial expressions. Blank faces are so... bleh.

My hair actually looks like this right now. Self portraits are so fun. :3
