Elements--Air


Elementals--Air--lineart by ~freakdearts on deviantART

line art to the fourth and final elemental: air


that's smoke, or rather an interpretation of air, flowing through his overly large hands (I had to show it some how, no?)

EDIT: erm...:iconsnake6889: colored this here: [link] and then raped it here:[link] :D I suppose that's what a creative-commons license is supposed to be for, right?.. thanks snakey ;D

Yes yes yes... you've all seen it I'm sure... but did you get it? That's perhaps the most important thing...I think I just want to clarify here that the basic concept the lord gave me is of the girl using the key to open the door and start the ship to blast off...the ship is supposed to be a cargo ship as in "supply"... just in case any of you were wondering...

incidently this is the first pic I've done with a completely digital lineart... I'm rather happy with it... though her suit needs more blue...It is also my first piece of sci-fi so I think we started out alright, no?
at the very lest it's 'flashy'

:D

I Believe in Hell [link]
by G.M.P.Mizrany

---

It's the way each day always drains the best in me,
Knowing this is all my destiny.
It's the way each thing I do turns to a bad bet,
Knowing there's more & this is all I get.
It's the way I live for my coffee & they never can make it right,
The way I hear myself crying at night, that

refrain:
I believe in hell. There's one scare I'm sure on.
Don't ask how I can tell, I live there, you moron.
So I believe in hell, & all it's fiends.
At least it means,
Just like the Bible tells, God let'ere be,
There'd better be,
A heaven somewhere as well!

I believe in hell we'll go on living in our private padded cell,
I bet the coffee sucks down there as well.
I believe hell's made of darkness & love's the only key.
Will there be a light that shines for me?
I believe I can't be good enough to ever make it off my knees,
Oh, God forgive me please!

look familiar?... I was always meaning to redo this one for some time and so I took the chance when it came up to revamp it in my current style...

it was interesting going back and seeing how I had done things and trying to bring back up the feelings and emotions while making this in order to put them back in... of course the music helped but it just went to show me how much my attitudes and perspectives on art- and not just my skills bending it- have changed since I first finished this piece...

I felt very limited by the line art and it was kind of hard to feel out the forms with it, the colors too were difficult to place (just how does one go about painting black without actually using black), but I kept the background as that is my favorite texture work I've ever wrought... *shivers*

no she does not come from hell... nor does she favor it... she is simply not ignorant of it...

textures and stock(door): :icontexturemattic:

wings are from somewhere I can't find...

David getting married

I KNOW, RIGHT? My brother... David... married?

I must admit though as unexpected as that news was I wasn't expecting half as much as my response to it... it made me, well... happy... blissfully happy, and proud of you David... it seems that finally one of us Borst Boys is going to be tying the knot at long last...But did you ever stop to think of what it would mean for me!? I mean come on look at what I have to live up to! finished highschool overseas misionary, FD disciple, Home Moniter and now loving husband!... how am I supposed to do all that when the first is hard enough for me at the moment...I can just hear mom comparing me to you...*pant pant* but despite all that, seriously... I congratulate you bro and hope the best for you and yours... even if I may or may not have the slightest intention of turning out anything like you :D

oh ummm.... and at your honey moon... act "surprised" :D

Lalaland--Teaser#4

just a little something from that infernal short story...

---

"I guess the best way to explain is to start at the beginning; then you might see what I am and what it is I must do. Let me tell you a story:

"There once was a boy who loved to draw. He loved it so much that he drew himself a world on paper; surrounding himself with it. This world came to life to him within the pages of his sketch book. Many things he placed within it; there was light then and it filled all the drawings in channeled brilliancy, and there was shade too, but no darkness... no, that doesn’t come until later. and then he drew a door, a door that would change his world forever.

"No one knows how it happened but this door opened and he entered his world. The first to greet him were two emissary of light: an elven Lord and Lady. They were the first he had drawn in the book. They told him that they had been sent to guide him in his reign and to show him how to use rightly this gift that he had been given. And so under their tutelage and wisdom he ruled his world with a benevolent hand. Each of his creations had their own existence and spoke and thought and felt just like me and you. Our boy tried his best and though he may have made a few mistakes the ‘people’ loved and respected him because it was through him that they had been brought into existence. Times were good then… too good

"Then one fateful day an emissary of darkness was found and brought before the Boy. The ambassador stood before him in all its menace black and hateful and it made him an offer. The darkness would give him great power and might in return for the book that had formed this world. Naturally the boy refused and had the emissary destroyed. But by then it was too late. For the darkness had cast a spell over him. He was obsessed with it from his first taste and he ceased to heed the counsel of the light. The seeds had been planted and he locked himself in his chambers unable to rid himself of the image of the emissary’s dark form. It haunted him,” at this point he hesitated, something bothered him like he hadn’t made his piece, then he went on.

“That night the darkness came. It was strong and terrible and it tried to take the book by force, but the boy resisted it. It tried to take his life but at the moment before it could the lady of light appeared and sacrificing herself, saved the boy by weakening the darkness greatly. But again it grew. The lord stood and fought it giving the boy time to run. But when he too fell the darkness pursued the boy taking hold of everything that he had held dear and turning it against him. But no matter how much it took it could never find him.

“The land was changed. Where once had been peaceful vales and streams now were only ashes and mud for in its passing the darkness took all life from these and twisted them. And the book? The book was lost… the boy accidently dropped it in a pool in his haste, but though the darkness drained it, it was never found… until now.

“For you see Fay, I am ‘WM,’ or rather Wren Melbourne, and that is my sketchbook, and this terrible thing is happening to my world...”

dum da dum da! I still do intend to finish this...

nothing of any grave importance

I'm sick and tired of playing in the dirt... no really for the last two days I've been shoveling out asparagus beds and planting them for my mother... they each had to be a foot deep and foot wide there's three of them that run twelve feet each...on the second day it started to rain and be very cold...and with our dirt it means it gets rather clumpy and sticks to your shoes and hands like a second pair of boots... then, I also had to pile up the dirt and lay the asparagus roots over the mounds that have to be exactly a foot apart and cover them entirely back up again... I used my hands cause the shovel didn't fit in the trenches... I know this isn't really that much but try doing it in the clammy cold and mud and then talk to me... I actually have no idea why I'm ranting about my gardening in such detail... I really do love green growing things... I just don't like having to dig the holes to plant them :D so yeah I'm pretty hateful of my shovel now...

been working on essays for my school... need to finish ten so I can get credit... it's good practice I guess... I'm pretty stuck with this one I need to do on Nathaniel Hawthorne... ausome writer, just really boring life... although it may be interesting to note that when he was sixteen, while away at boarding school, he sent his family seven issues of a hand written newspaper containing news poems and essays entitled the spectator such a thing could be comparable to a blog no?

oh, and in other, minor news... I CUT MY HAIR!!! AGHH!!! will post pics as soon as they are taken... if I can get the time...

sing a dirge for my hair brush for I've thrown it away
singing out of the rain
