Description Whoa I think this is the fastest I've ever drawn anything! Sketched, penciled, inked and coloured all today (Jeez I need to get out more...)

So this is my original character Duke reflecting on life (or me musing through art, whatever). Since I don't think I've mentioned it before this guy is based on Aragorn and Obi-Wan from 'Attack of the Clones'... oh and my own cynicism, pessimism and remoteness

Anyhoo! I actually did enjoy drawing this one, believe it or not!

No probs!

And its not only true, but like my life's meaning!

Seriously, I start to make friends, but then I like start gettin weird vibes! I feel as though I didn't know myself!

This is particularly true of me. I rarely belong anywhere; mostly just in the Band and Church and here and one other place. Oh, I also fit very well in Canada. ^^

Yeah I find it hard to belong, although it might be because that's how I want it, I dunno.

I just isolate myself in my room because I rarely feel like I belong. *shrugs* Perhaps those who don't belong oughta come together and make a town called "Unbelongington". lol

Yeah same here, hermit style FTW! Would'nt that be defeating the whole "don't belong" gig?

Joshing3the7Kokiri In reply to GraphiteFalcon [2008-07-04 08:37:17 +0000 UTC]

So? We'd just make a town hall and a store and have all the housed 200 feet apart.

Heh yeah that'd work.

Joshing3the7Kokiri In reply to GraphiteFalcon [2008-07-04 16:15:13 +0000 UTC]

Oh, and each house would have to look different or else there would be uniformity and we certainly don't want that, eh?

Thanks! Yeah it's kind of different from the way I usually draw, but I think it turned out pretty good.

loopy-lexy [2008-06-24 08:53:45 +0000 UTC]

Nawww now I feel sad I have an icon that says "it's easier for me to be alone" and its of a girl drawing,... but thats actually from a Michelle Branch song...
Anyway, I thought I'd say I really love the town, it looks awesome, lol

GraphiteFalcon In reply to loopy-lexy [2008-06-24 10:26:52 +0000 UTC]

Soory It's just what I've been thinking. Well I didn't get it from that song! The bit up the top is what really took ages to perfect into this form of coherent prose
Yeah it actually turned out all right for near random scribbles didn't it XD

loopy-lexy In reply to GraphiteFalcon [2008-06-24 11:18:31 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I think it's not an uncommon thought amoung people, really. I guess one day you just find people who don't want you to be anyone else and love you just the way you are and you can belong even in your unbeloningness. Haha yeah I didn't think michelle branch was really your style! Well bravo, i think you achieved coherence
Definitely

Hm somehow I don't believe that, a lot of people seem self-assured. Well sometimes I feel more comfortable not belonging, keeps my wits sharp! No not really my style. Heh coherence is not something I achieve often

must post backstory!

GraphiteFalcon In reply to foxdart [2008-06-24 10:24:22 +0000 UTC]

Yep! I am capable of some original thinking

Weeeeeelll since only about 4% percent of the backstory is worked out, maybe not! But some of my other original character drawings have a bit of backstory in the description.

Kewl. Very peaceful, and I like the quote. Ahh, this is the uber-strong-guy with the halberd who doesn't use magic.Is he a hermit(crab)? He's joined in solitude with all the lonely souls out there. Not all those who wander are lost.

GraphiteFalcon In reply to Sunburst-Super-Hero [2008-06-24 08:10:31 +0000 UTC]

Thanks. Yeah one 2:00 am when I was more cynical and philosophical then usual I thought that qoute up. I guess this one's peaceful because I want it to sort of show an illusion of tranquillity. Yes that is him down to a T. Well he's sort of a hermit but circumstances force him into travelling with the other main characters. Not a crab though Hey hey just cos he's alone doesn't mean he's lonely per se. "Not all those who wander are lost." I like that.
