And now Atal, slipping dizzily up over inconceivable steeps, heard in the dark a loathsome laughing, mixed with such a cry as no man else ever heard save in the Phlegethon of unrelatable nightmares; a cry wherein reverberated the horror and anguish of a haunted lifetime packed into one atrocious moment:

'The other gods! The other gods! The gods of the outer hells that guard the feeble gods of earth!... Look away... Go back... Do not see! Do not see! The vengeance of the infinite abysses... That cursed, that damnable pit... Merciful gods of earth, I am falling into the sky!'

- H.P. Lovecraft: The Other Gods

[crayons, 64x45cm]

I've browsed Elfwood on and off for a few years now, and I must say, ever since I've found your user profile, I have been tempted to join a number of times. I have your profile in my favourites just to show you off =D You have amazing talent and a beautiful, unique style. I've never seen anyone match your skill with crayons. CRAYONS of all things. I wish I could pay you for some of your art, but I'm only a student, and don't have paypal or a credit card 14

I really just left this post as insipiration. Keep it up! Hopefully, someday in a few years, I will find this bookmarked profile in my favourites on my old hard drive, and take up my old lust for you pictures. I will have money then, though =D

firstly thought it was lotr, but well... can't be right everytime... anyways... there ARE different opinions on gods... personately not sure of their or his or her existense... well tolkien IS a god, but i don't know if that counts... well all the same, got taken away from the world... but it's what-so-ever brilliant... and finally... good colors... (heaven queen cover me in all that blue... wooooops nightwish-ing again)
