Do not adjust your screen. You are in fact seeing what you think you see. Yup, it's a solar-powered flashlight. Coming next spring, the same company that brought you this will release their newest product: the helicopter ejector seat. XD

Hi everybody. How's it going? For the first time since arriving home from the beach, I've been able to draw and get something productive done (George walker and Wicked Sid don't count, because I drew them when I was really pissed off). ^_^ It feels good to have my creative juices flowing again. Plus, my brother goes back to school tomorrow. >:D
Anyway, as I said, my creativity returned last night. I finished and submitted 2 new ghost pictures last night, both of which I'm at least a little proud of. So, may I please request that you go take a look at these new submissions and tell me what you think? Voting and commenting are greatly appreciated. ~_'

There's a new Quote, Poll and Song of the week if anybody's interested. The Song of the Week is Dyers Eve, which is the song I posted the lyrics to last week. Please give the song at least one listen.

I've been enjoying the first of Josh's CD's that he's loaned to me: The self-entitled album of Iron Maiden. This was their very first album, but it's just as good as the rest! I'm especially lovin' "Prowler", "Remember Tomorrow" (which has an awesome segment that I may have to show you all), "Phantom of the Opera", "Transylvania", "Charlotte the Harlot" and "Iron Maiden" (yes, Iron Maiden recorded a song called "Iron Maiden" on an album called "Iron Maiden").
"Transylvania" is an instrumental that I think would be great for a Hellsing AMV (for obvious reasons).

I just want to take a quick second to show you a piece that I found particularly interesting. This was submitted by Vankala 86 today:

Rosa has improved her shading and coloring to a point beyond anyone could have expected. Just look at her shades, shadows and textures in this piece. The subject’s facial-expression is so full of life and emotion, she almost looks real. I'm particularly impressed with the detail in the hair. It looks so soft and fluffy! Fantastic work, Rosa, as you always seem to do.

Before I go, here's another awesome picture of Eddie (Iron Maiden's mascot, if you didn't know already). I always liked this pic of him in particular:


This is the cover for "A Real Dead One", the flip-side of "A Real Live One". I just thought Eddie looked awesome as a DJ from and in Hell. He looks so sleep-deprived and tired, but like he just drank a bunch of caffeine. His eyes are glowing through his sun-glasses as he screams the song-transitions into the rusty mike in his smoky, dusty, dimly-lit radio station.
Eddie: "ALLRIGHT!!! WE'VE GOTTA' NOTHER' COUPLE HOURS OF MICHAEL BOLTON, *NSYNC, BACKSTREET BOYS, MEGADETH, MARLYN MANSON, GORILLAZ AND THE 'THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS', COMING UP RIGHT AFTER THESE WORDS FROM OUR SPONSERS! BE THERE, BI-OTCH!!!
Smooth-voiced radio announcer: "You're listening to 66.6 FM, 'Radio Hell'."

XD I'll see you all tomorrow!
