I'm in one of those moods again.

Somewhat inspired by the book Ptolemy's Gate by Jonathon Stroud. *sigh* such an ingenious book . . .

I am truly proud of this. I think I've come a long way in the pen and ink department, not to mention anatomy. But that's not the only reason I like this so much. Not sure why, but ... this seems very personal to me. *shrug* I didn't plan this at all. It just sort of happened. Despite the subject, I don't feel particularly depressed or angry. In fact I feel pretty good about life just now. Ah well.Your interpretation is as good as mine.

Upon typing this, I must also share the unfortunate news that my beloved pen, Winston has met his end, giving his life for art. He was a good pen and a role model to all that knew him. Such trageties are inevitable, but life goes on. And he will be remembered for years to come, whenever I look upon this picture. Rest in peace, my dear Winston.

I can't even give you an estimate on how long this took me ... after I started I completely lost track of time. Anyways ... enjoy.
