Time to turn back and descend the stair
2004-07-18, 3:38 AM #1
[http://sine.geekvision.net/stairs.jpg]

Inspired by TS Eliot's Lovesong of J. Alfred Prufrock:

And indeed there will be time
To wonder, "Do I dare?" and, "Do I dare?"
Time to turn back and descend the stair,
With a bald spot in the middle of my hair--
[They will say: "How his hair is growing thin!"]
My morning coat, my collar mounting firmly to the chin,
My necktie rich and modest, but asserted by a simple pin--
[They will say: "But how his arms and legs are thin!"]

It is not supposed to be an ultra-refined masterpiece nor is it an illustration of the stanza I quoted, so if your response is to ask about some squiggly line or why he doesn't look exactly like your image of an old man descending stairs, let me preemptively tell you to shut up.

A desperate disease requires a dangerous remedy.

A major source of objection to a free economy is precisely that it gives people what they want instead of what a particular group thinks they ought to want. Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself.

I like the dropshadow and the head. But there's something with the jacket that doesn't seem right, but I can't put my hands on it.

I just have one little quip, your anatomy seems alittle off being that your shoulders are too sloped and he seems almost too thin. But nonetheless, it is a great piece of artwork.

The perspective of the stairs is off. you should be able to see the tops of the lower stairs.

Zully's right, but MBeggar's wrong. If the stairs were directly behind him, and were steep enough, the current perspective would be correct. Trust me, my friend's stairs look EXACTLY like those.

Uhm... I'm not wrong, I was simply pointing out something that I thought looked out of place.
Those stairs would have to be REALLY steep if you couldnt see the tops of any of the stairs. Trust me, I have stairs.

MBeggar's not wrong. Either you ought to be able to see the tops of the lower stairs or the underneath of the guy's chin.

It's still an amazing piece of work.

Haggis: "For God's sake, snap out of it man! That bottle is empty! It's been empty since the first day we got to this godforsaken place and you drank it all! You're losing touch with reality!"
Otter stares at Haggis, a suspicious expression on his face.
Otter: "You just want my whiskey! I'm on to you!"
