Twelve: In Which a Terrible Dolor is Uncovered Upon a Jagged Glacier
Ostrich and Edith were zigzagging on the surface of a glacier when they came across EDITH, dead in ice. Solemnly, hallowedly, the Ostrich with her motherly claw carved the story of Edith's long-lost long-dead twin sister into the ice.
in which triangles and skellingtons! I had totally no idea how I was going to draw a glacier and not make it just a boring load of white, but then I realised about triangles. The glacier is in fact largely ripped off the cover of a penguin book, which is a detail from a painting called The Path of Genius by Wenzel Hablik (http://farm1.static.flickr.com/14/18223767_3d4a8066a8.jpg?v=0). Triangles = the best.
Also, my friend said he was bored of all the ostriches because they don't look like a real character and just like drawings of ostriches. I sort of wanted the ostrich to look a lot like an ostrich, and like it was doing its own thing and was sort of separate from the rest of it, so that's why I thought it'd be okay to just copy a variety of ostriches off of pictures from google images. But, there are loads of them, and they do clutter up the place being all big and strange and looking different to each other because I copied them off the internet. I promise next week's one will be ostrich-free.
To my multitudinous hordes of baying fans: Sorry I haven't updated for ages, I have had a challenging fortnight. A new picture is in the pipeline, I hope it will rock sufficiently to compensate. It will have a frog in it, and a storm, and various other exciting items.
I am sort of overwhelmed by studying-work at the moment, increasing the tardiness of my next post, but I /literally promise/ that all my spare moments I will be working on it, and I hope it will be up sometime in the coming week.
