Friday Fiction: Worth a Thousand Words














Last night was unusually productive; I find it helps not only to have a picture, but also an explanation about the details. Some are retries: these two versions of She's Walking Through the Clouds are much closer to the original sketch; Patrick is more like a pirate than a leprechaun (all I suggested was to change the hat to a tricorne); I tried to refine Ogre, but the program seems to insist the head is a skull, and stubbornly resists giving him lips or a nose. I've drawn many castles and dragons in my time. The Dark Window and Demon  evoke the darker side of my imagintion; Demon in particular was drawn at the same time I was making illustrations for The Inferno in Mrs. Hardcastle's World Literature class in my Junior year. The first picture, Duel with Death, is one of my newer pictures. Still pretty old, though. 'These same crosses spoil me' now.
