You're very welcome, I love seeing the different interpretations of Severian and other elements of the Book of the New Sun; it's sometimes difficult for me to conjure concrete imagery while reading the series, and others' takes are really interesting to me...

No prob, you earned it with well-rendered structures and figures, and like someone else mentioned, I love the smattering of old high-tech machinery and fantasy themes. I also love your depiction of Severian in his cloak as a silhouette with little visible parts of Terminus Est poking up on his back. A color darker than black, indeed. Great job!

You're welcome! You have an amazing grasp of human physiology to be able to "fatten up" whoever you please. Awesome work (months later, lol).

Creating a piece that seems to take delight in its lack of moral character, in this case referring to perceptions that a character screaming nothing but choice obscenities is offensive to most people. I see your piece as essentially giving the finger to those who find such work disturbing and tasteless, while simultaneously putting forth an effort to accurately portray frustration and anger in a purer state of being, exemplified by the stick-figurish character who is also drawn with care and implies layers of meaning behind such simplicity.

This is how I see it, which may be totaly alien to the conceptual frame of mind you had when creating this, though I enjoy it immensely, otherwise it wouldn't be one of my favorites. I hope my comment wasn't misconstrued as negative. I really think you did a great job :) (Smile)
