What's spores is mime

Description

Great title, yes????

The art was inspired after seeing 19cartwheels artwork Turtle Blast which can be found here [link]

The guy at the bottom is the mime. Well, he's more of a mute but nobody he knows knows this and so they think he's just doing mime for their entertainment. It wouldn't entertain me.

The mountain people creature is powering the mime to produce silent spores which is going to cause something good or bad to happen somewhere a thousand miles away.

The spores bit was kind of inspired by a scene from Hellboy 2. The mountain person was not inspired by the Super Furry Animals song "Mountain People" though I do love that song.

The not abandoned sky-rail track was not inspired by Holzernes-herz [link] train photographs nor was it inspired by the "train" bit from Look to Windward. I just filled some space with a doodle which became a railtrack.

It's a reasonably nice day in the North East of England. There's been some seriously weird weather around these parts this past year. I think it can stop now.

I don't think there'll be any more weird drawings this week. I might just put up another photo of my dog.

And finally, I'm here to comment ...

Whatever the means of inspiration, I think your work has greater depth, and the objects in it greater weight. The column that the fellow is creeping out of (or merely attached to) has real heft. It looks stony like it should.

The wrap-a-round sky-track is a great touch. Whenever I've tried to draw something that precise (with some perspective, no less!), one line or another goes astray and I abandon it. And as for the exposed brain-creature that dominates the right hand half of the page, I can only say ... what patience! For all of its lines, there's not a one that looks out of place. And the shading work on it's really grand, too.

How did you fade the borders of the image?
