Description Oooookay... Chaunn, the Pred-gal on the left, is mine. Nightblood, the Pred-gal on the right, belongs to ~Kaze-Kuroki .

I'll try to keep this explanation as simple as I can, because I honestly don't remember what half-whacked idea it was that spawned this image in my head. It went something like this:

Nightblood says, "Chaunn, tell me again why it is you don't have any of the guys strutting around you and showing off their trophies..."

Chaunn gives her a chuckling snort and answers with no small sense of irony, "Because my imaginary friend disapproves."

"Riiiiiight," Nightblood replies. "Didn't most of us give up our, erm, Imaginary Friends back when we were FIVE?"

"Uh huh," Chaunn says, "Except one of mine stuck around and I later found out he's not as imaginary as he wants us to think he is. Most of the crazy shitaki I get involved in is his fault."

Nightblood just shakes her head. "Gotta get over it one of these days, you know."

Chaunn shrugs and says, "Every time I try, he --"

Suddenly, over Chaunn's shoulder, Setg'in-de'paya Mni'awusthe pops onto the physical plane. The god of lightning, thunder, smooth dance moves beeps Nightblood on the nose. In a voice like the laughter of a saber-toothed tiger, he says, "EVERY TIME SHE TRIES TO 'COME TO HER SENSES' SHE, TOO, GETS BEEPED ON THE NOSE. HA!"

And then he disappears again.

"See what I mean?" Chaunn says with another shrug.

Nightblood just stands there for several minutes with her mouth hanging open.

Le sigh. Crazy gods. What can you do?

------------------------------------------------------------------

Heh heh heh... Poor Kaze-Kuroki. She wanted folks to do pictures of her Predator character, but I don't know if this is quite what she had in mind. I am sorry that she fell victim to one of my fits of insanity... But it was rather a lot of fun to draw.

Pen and ink; Photoshop color.

Another shot of the crazy god, non-chibified:

I know the feeling. I was drawing a Pred today and was listening to Phatom of The Opera...

You don't wanna know what the image that came to my mind was...

On the contrary... I think several Very Bad Ideas have already formed in my mind's eye. I have to wonder which ones popped into yours. *evil snicker*

Let's just say my poor unlucky MALE Pred turned into an Opera Singer in a skanky old english dress. (Not that I have problems with the dress, they're just...a little low cute for something that I would wear...)

Nice little cartoony style of drawing the preds. I can't help but think of a spider when looking at the god though.

Yeah, I've got a thing about gods with way too many arms. One of my friends had me draw Ravana once, and he has twenty arms. With swords. GARRRRrrrr...

rachaelm5 In reply to DSil [2006-07-12 05:00:55 +0000 UTC]

Thanks!

Honestly, it seemed like a perfectly rational idea at the time. I had imaginary friends of the strangest sort when I was little, which evolved over the years into some of the characters I draw and write about today. It seemed a simple leap to suggest that my imaginary friends did, themselves, have imaginary friends - among other things.

It sounds so obvious and logical when you describe it, and yet you're the first person I've encountered who has considered such a possibility. I guess there IS something new under the Sun.

Gotta develop the crazy god's personality a bit, and popping in and out of reality to pester the mortals seemed like a good place to start.
