I prefer it unedited. That's a really characteristic sumbitz.

Don't get me wrong, I didn't think you were being arrogant    Forgive my pithy sense of humour

Oooh yeah, got mixed up. Yah, that's Arhnahld.

Or Duke Nukem.

Hey, the... er... thing's left leg on the side view - why is it bent like that? Makes him look like he's slouching, I think.

I had thought of pretty much all of those, but once again I find myself working in paint, which is *very* limiting. The only thing I coulda done was make the lines longer, but I was pretty much done by then, so...

And, the dithering occured when GIFyfying.

No, because you'd hate for it to look bad  :

Can't really do it.

On the other hand, nice music

Kersplat, etc.

Nobody messes with this!

Hot friskies, I didn't realise I had omitted the 'y' on 'they'. Thanks for bringing that -how inadvertantly - to my attention.

*Goes around fixing it in about six different places*

Thanks for the feedback, these three have generally been very positive, which I guess can only be a good thing.

Rattenberg*

Dark crystal town
Baptized in shade.
You spent half a year dead again.

The cats trickled through the empty streets,
Past shuttered windows, framed doors,
Bathed in dull twilight.

Is it good to be home?
Suitcase handle pressed into damp palm,
Greeted by silence whilst the old folk
Lie staring at electric fans
Behind painted doors.

I like my veins.
They wind around me magnificently;
Thick as twisted silk,
Organic like coral.

Fizz Latin Injection Orange.

So much syrup…!
Drips slowly through the passages and pathways.
Hot like tabasco,
Or the glitter of Indian's Ocean,
Or the mist over Japan,
Or the
I don't think I

Antiquity

Van Der Maäl sits clawed in a high-backed chair,
With a purple gown and oiled hair,
And holds up a candle against the encroaching dark.

The shadow seeps, bursts, breathes forth misty
Opulant colours in a fragmented rush,
And heels click like bones over the black and white tiles,
All laid out for Society's Game.
Somewhere blank a glass tinkles and smashes,
Rolls like a shining splintered crab,
Cackles like dice.
Just like a game.

Van Der Maäl, Mally to friends, or sudden allies,
Slithered through Rank and file
With a pearl-slab grin, and a vintage tipped in hand. Like so.
…Wreathed through suits and silk, left trails:
Sidelong looks, blushes, frowns.
Swept along with coat-tails streaming.
His subtle scheming.
A grand game for the gentleman.

Tipped conversations, ruined intimacies,
Played the guests,
Moved,
Sat like a spider thronged with the hum,
The web,
His life.
Just a game.

There is the echo of a crack.
Van Der Maäl sits in his alcoholic dust
With an insignificant beard.
In the distance of the long, cold hall
The glass evaporates into memory.

He twists a ring on his finger, given, donated by some girl,
A nameless one.
His face contorts.
The Bachelor dies.
And the shadows rush in to feast upon him.

*Rattenberg is a small town in Austria which spends half of the year out of the light due to a really, really large mountain in the way of the low winter path of the sun.

I think the upper torso of the pink girl could do with coming in a notch, too - it looks a little wedge shaped at the moment.

I like the hair on pinky, the green highlights really work.

Trouble is, the sleeves don't. I don't know whether it's the too high contrast between dark pink and black on the border or what, but I'd try to fix that. The characters are also standing a little aggressively - although that suits the fourth character.

*Note to self: Stay the fsck away from freaky deaky Orwellian companies*

Fine. It was unhelpful, and rude, and Colossal just exacerbated the situation by pissing me off by being unhelpful and rude.

Isn't this fun.

Honestly, do we have to add to the forum rules "At least try and get along."

Hypocrisy rules, doesn't it. I seem to recall you were the one who dragged up my lowest moment on these forums at a fairly critical stage? I would call that being a dick. I would call that being very unhelpful and rude. Almost gleefully malicious, in fact!

But hey, I'm just a member. Forgive me for disturbing your obvious awesomeness. How do I know you're awesome? Simply that you're egocentric enough to post your OWN signature (oh, and I'll remove the little 25.11 KB gif, how's that?), full of praise. Honestly, it makes me sick.

I'm not going to post in this thread any more. Have whatever last word you like.

No, my post is not pointless:

1. Is your post interesting, helpful or funny? If not, don't post it.

This forum isn't an FAQ area, is it? C'mon, you have to tell people when they do something so... inane.

[exactly]

Way to be a dick? Don't tell me some other people wouldn't have done exactly the same thing. It's a pointless post!

Oh, there simply must be something on the net. Seriously, did you even try looking?

I think someone's pissed at you, DG.
