Description Why did I just submit eight scraps? Maybe I felt desperate. Should be submitting more, randomly, as I lose consciousness.

Started this piece back in April on a paintchat; ambition's kind of dwindled since.

It's one of my favorite works to date, and I have certainly never posted it to dA before. Because dA is a festering heap of maggots with fresh minty smells. Unfinished probably.

If I were a famous artist like Michael Whelan, I'd have a growing series of paintings depicting nonsense like this. Someday, when I'm dead. Critique not particularly encouraged because this is aged. Not that I have got any better.

You show, so often, disdain for your work. This saddens me. And it makes Becca shake her fist at you. I could've just said that on MSN, but if I expect feedback, I feel I should give it to. I enjoyed this when first you showed me, and still I do.

It's really fucking old. I no longer disdain for anything. I'm just apathetic.

wow, that's beautiful, it looks like a corpse that is about to be autopsied.
i didn't know maggots could have minty smells, the only time i've ever smelled them, they smelled alot like dead flesh.

You're right. I don't know what I was thinking. Maggots are nasty.
