CHARACTER: Cal  my blind, Australian, dead-type weird dude. O__o OWNER: Moi! :wave: PIC STATUS: Poem/art collaboration comic page with Demonstelme2buycandy: MEDIUMS: Sakura Micron felt tips (line art), Photoshop CS (colouring, text boxes), Paintshop Pro 5 (tweaking, light effects) FONT used: Zud Juice  download here: http://www.1001fonts.com/font_details.html?font_id=568 ------------------- And now a word from our sponsor! :D THE LOST HEART AND SUFFERING MUSE: When the night had fallen And I sat in a strangely cold summer air My cigarette flared as I inhaled And the wind spoke to me of words that never were On the air there approached an omen A sign of spirits and things to come Visions of sculpture which ramble about history And events of the future inevitably tainted by the past Inhaling the incense which I crave and consume, A voice stirred inside that I could not ignore Whispers of mistakes and triumphs, every action According to Newton, invariably leads to reaction It was then, upon the final breath of tobacco smoke I heard the voices of the trees begging me to listen Their wisdom sharing a truth which had eluded me Ghosts will only haunt bodies with desperate souls ~ Poem written by Demonstelme2buycandy ------------------------ ARTIST THOUGHTS - Its been a long time coming and an even greater rush (well, fast for me =P) to get this done by the 7th, but somehow Ive made the cut! ^^; My first collaboration with another deviant, in which I agreed to draw something revolving around a poem written by my pal Demonstelme2buycandy. When I first read the poem, I was immediately struck by how well it could be applied to my character Cal, and since Id already been dying for an excuse to draw Cal, that was an added bonus. =P It took AGES though to realize that the best way to go about this was through a comic page, I was sitting at my desk fretting for a whole afternoon until it hit me and I was like, Duuuuuhhh, stupid& :slow: :slow: As you can see, I only had enough room to work with two stanzas so it wound up being the first and last. Man, I love that end line. :D : Muahaha, and the shinies are back, I told you theyd be! To know more about this character, check out the bio here: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/14909259/
