There Walked A Crooked Man by ~anael:iconanael:

Artist's Comments

The colored version of The Crooked Man. The first in a series of Mother Goose illustrations (hopefully ^^;) with a darker look. I kinda blended in elements of Alice in Wonderland (he's dressed roughly like the Mad Hatter), because Lewis Carroll created some pretty fucked up dark worlds.

I also reffed Kaori Yuki's Cain Hargreaves a wee bit because I loff Cain, he is a hot piece of manga ass.

Sketched on paper, inked and colored in Painter 8.

Mine too. I really wish more of Cain was translated. :p I love the whole 19th century England setting. I just love that whole era, it's so elegant and gothicly beautiful. ^^;

Me too....I was dying to play American McGee's "Alice". Oh, it looked OH SO cool in the store. Then I discovered our computer couldn't handle any more programs.....*sobs*.....Hopefully, I can reinstall it again after the blasted thing is reformatted.

hey, nice idea..I was playing on that awhile ago actually, but my crooked man was a bit sexually crooked, if you catch my drift. *chuckles* cool shredded cloak.

First of all, you read too much CLAMP. Second of all, he looks SO TIM BURTON!!!! It reminded me of the Nightmare Before Christmas, but then it reminded me of Johnny Depp and then I realized that Johnny Depp is in a lot of Tim Burton movies and NBC IS a Tim Burton movie!!!!!!! YEAH! Anyway, good work ^_^ I hate how you know how to use these illustraor type programs so well!!! I don't know how to use them at all!!!!
:iconanael:
Haha yeah, I like the twisty little Nightmare Before Christmas style that Burton does. Speaking of which, have you seen that Big Fish movie yet? I haven't heard anything about it.

Haha actually I dun read as much clamp anymore, but it is a very uh... gay looking guy. ;)
For illustration programs, just start doodling! Seriously. Like, seriously.
