Description
Life's a show, and we, as the players, must don our masques and hid our faces from the world. We must worry, improvising upon an open stage with no idea what the other players will do.In one way, however, it does differ: What the other players say and do can hurt you. Beware of the cast of your own choosing, for they somehow know the lest protected places to strike.
"Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing."
~Shakespeare's "Macbeth", Act 5, Scene 5, Lines 23-27a
Sorry if any of you found that depressing. I was reading the play again today.
If you've never read it... Don't pick it up as a pleasure reading. It's not very pleasant.
This was hand-drawn, inked, then I took a picture (too lazy to use the scanner, lol) and I played with it in gimp, in case anyone wanted to know how this came to be...
Masque (Mask) design belongs to me. Do not use without permission!

I was inking a doodle today... screwed up the face, but the hair still looks awesome And the hair was, ironically, what mattered most and took the most time
