And another one bites the dust!
Jul. 22nd, 2011 11:53 pmAnother print done. I'm not sure if I prefer it with purple or red. Which one do you guys think is better? All behold, a better version of my skeleton king.


This kinda reminds me of the story of Jack-o-Lanterns.
An old Irish folk tale tells of Stingy Jack, a lazy farmer who uses a cross to trap the Devil in a tree by tricking the Devil into climbing an apple tree and quickly carving crosses in the trunk.
Jack only lets the Devil go when he agrees never to take his soul. Later, Jack dies but is too sinful for Jack to go to heaven. The Devil had promised not to take his soul, and so he was barred from hell as well. Jack now had nowhere to go. He asked how he would see where to go, as he had no light, and the Devil mockingly tossed him an ember that would never burn out from the flames of hell. Jack carved out one of his turnips , put the ember inside it, and began endlessly wandering the Earth for a resting place. He became known as "Jack of the Lantern", or Jack-o'-Lantern.
I'm kinda looking forward to work tomorrow because OH MY GOD, THE HEAT. The bookstore has air-conditioning. This week, I mostly just sweated and colored in Photoshop (because sweat and liquid ink on paper is a no-no) so I wasn't really productive. And when i,m un-productive, I usually feel guilty about it. Tsk tsk. I give myself a hard time. It's awful :P
