Ah, sweet minimalism!
Jim at January 27, 2006 7:04 AM
very pretty! heh, it's almost like a landscape, the celtic-looking knots on the foreground is like a forest, the lady is somesort of woodland spirit, and then there's the Black Tower behind... very great, I like that the lady doesn't change into something completely different.

i like this corpse very much. its my favorite one i've participated in so far. although, i feel my section is the least cohesive of the group. from what i saw in the strip, i tried to continue with the color scheme and the feel of the black lines. i made the tree things to carry on those elements. but i wish now that i would've continued the streaks of color from the strip downward behind the tree/knot/woman things i added. i'd like to lose the black circles too. see what i'm saying?
but i woulda coulda shoulda a lot of things in hind sight like buy stock in yahoo in 1991.

btw the name is FANTASTIC! she's roaming through the trees, looking like divinity with organic possibilities before her, makes you wanna say:
GREAT GOOGALLY BOOGALLY!! (frank zappa refrerence.)

Lyrical.
This is easily my favorite of 2006 so far and arguably one of the best I've ever seen. Beautiful jobs, all of you.

Lovely and rather elegant. Mariam, in my opinion your panel facilitates the over-all composition. As you said, the effect is of this ethereal-woman looming over a forest or an orchard (a very tidy orchard, which looks quite natural below the castle walls, very Feudal era agriculture). The castle, the maiden figure and dryad-trees composed of woven locks of hair all make me think of the fairy tale of Rapunzel.
Shae, I almost feel like I recognize the maiden figure. Is it an original drawing? I suppose it has a certain Edward Gorey-ness about it.
Nice work by all involved.

Lovely, lovely corpse. Anyone heard 'Great Googa Mooga' by Lee Dorsey? I presumed the reference came from there.
Droozle at January 27, 2006 2:36 PM
Wowee!!! Thanks to Dax, Ann and Miriam for being so freaking AWESOME.
Miriam, I love your piece, far more than if you'd continued lines. Your piece provides pillars for the rest of it to stand on, and cool pillars that continue the architecture and human-figure business going on at the top.
Cicada, that's an original drawing I just whipped out and scanned.
This corpse is wonderful and I'm very pleased!

A real keeper. You all done good!
And, yes, roaming brings all those things...

Great Googally Boogally!
I quite agree.
Patrick Beverley at January 28, 2006 5:59 AM
I haven't seen much of them but this is the most coherent one I've seen.
U8IK at January 28, 2006 10:49 AM
I thought it was great googly Moogly - In the zappa song at least -anyhow I'm impressed with the minimal appraoch on this corpse. Really good job folks.
Bill Porter at January 28, 2006 10:58 AM
second corpse with a castle..... reminds me "The Man In The High Castle" by P.K.Dick is next on my reading list.
Bill Porter at January 28, 2006 11:02 AM
BTW: I really like the Celtic/Gordian Knot trees.
FogBaron at January 28, 2006 11:29 AM
Beautiful.
Janus at January 28, 2006 7:21 PM
