Moby dick and friends

Wasn't to happy with the scan de saturised a little bit, you can follow the evolution in the previous post. Got tagged by Alina 6 Weird things about me: well weirdish 1. I have had a lot of nicknames in my days, the one I was most proud of was the Idiot. My friends from architect school used to call me that, I think it was a term of endearment. 2. I bake all my bread, love the feel of dough. 3. I got Daltonism, this has always made me insecure when it comes to coloring things. 4. I have a habit of exchanging words, in my head the sentence sound ok, but when it comes out some words are wrong, I don't hear it myself but people corrects me. Initially I started arguing, but now I'm aware of the problem. 5.I like to run, and when I run I like to listen to audio books, now I think about certain part of books when I re-visit the places. In this hill William Tecumseh Shermans children died, here Marius and Sulla first meet, or turnpike did his most evil deed under this viaduct. 6. I once went to a dance class, my feet where not as fluent as my pen though (unfortunately)

  13. Thanks all, well Marcelo that's hard to say, drawing for me at the moment is a way of staying sane, I work all day at a rather lack-lustre game company. I manage perhaps one drawing each day, but not as elaborate as this one every day.

    Thanks

  16. Oh my, Matthias!
    This is just prodigious. It looks perfect, and that's not a word I throw around.

    I get uncomfortable when movie stars share bits about their lives. I prefer that they remain mythological. So it was with great trepidation that I read your responses to the meme. The dough! The books on tape! The dance class! I am so happy that you have retained your place in my mythological map.

    I'll think about that Alina, but it's rather to close to cannibalism for my tastes.

  19. Technically you are eating the bread not the little characters though .... HE ! HE!! You may feel less guilty, if it's the shape of a character which have been giving you much headache and frustration ... if you happen to have one of those bad characters ... :P *Evil me*

  23. I listen to audiobooks while I work and then when I look over certain pictures I've done, I remember bits from the audiobook, I always think it's so weird!
