Description So glad you guys like this image. It was practically ignored on my facebook page but on my profile page (because of my anime voice work) if it's not anime related people don't care too much about it.

This was a very cool request for the regular sketch sale I do called Sketchapalooza. Generally I get orders for anime characters, occasionally American comic book characters but never anything like "I would like a drawing of the personification of creativity." I usually spend about 20 minutes on the sketch commissions but this one was over an hour. Even with preliminary sketches which I hardly ever do. Hey, the guy who ordered it was basically asking me to go to church.

Somehow I missed this on facebook. I am going to blame the jet lag while I still can. This is an amazing piece on par with when you drew the muse of comic book artists.

The detail is fabulous. I adore the costume concept with the face in the costume and the opposites between earth/sky and water/fire. The egg is lovely and the hotdog thingy looks down right lecherous. Creativity is bound to the phallic is that one of the secret underlying messages here?

Very close. To my mind creativity requires the elements (respectively in their houses of the 4 directions according to Native American mystic thought), male/female yin/yang energy (the hot dog and the egg)and a hand into another dimension (the transcendent). Both the male and female aspects are captive and seemingly unaware of it (though the male aspect is more than ready to provide fertilization duties). Only after successful combination can these elements birth worlds from her stomach.

So the elements of creativity, in order of cardinal direction, are wind, light, Son and water. Flying pet hot dogs come from between wind and light, and you get fabergΓ© eggs on a string by mixing water with a little wind. The conclusion we can draw from that bolder at South-Southwest is that Sonny rocks.

Is that about right? Or was the meaning of the winged beanie misinterpreted?

(serious mode now active) The request on it's own is interesting. Your realization of it is brilliant!

It's an incredible piece, man. It's obvious that you really dug deep on it and it bore fruit. Great work!

Sausage and an egg...you have to have both masculine and feminine to create

It combines the classical feel of a Tarot card with the randomness of 36 hours of sleep deprivation.

I think your artwork is just as, if not more, important than your voice work. After all, I met you first as an artist and then as a voice actor, but I have to admit, I've always preferred your work as an artist. I'm just not that into anime still, I guess.

As for your Creativity girl, yay for getting a closer look at all your detail. I love that her outfit forms a face and her hat is probably my favorite thing on her costume. Her face is so serene. You can almost see the wheels turning in her mind.

I must have missed the other one (for which I apologize) but this is great!
It's so crisp, and it has such a flowing feel to it.

Oh yay she gets her own detail shot. I'm happy to see her a second time I noticed even more details this time. Like the earth, fire, wind and water at the compass points, very cool concept. Still love the doggie hot dog . She's really pretty. Do you think she might make an appearance in We Shadows? Take care Sonny.

It's true. If it's not popular, people miss a lot of gems. I've seen a lot of wonderful artists who only get attention if they draw Naruto, PokΓ©mon, Sailor Moon, Hetalia or whatever is popular at that moment. Their original work, which is far better, is often ignored. Just like this piece. It deserves a lot more love.
