[map] An architect's bad design

This ruins was once the home a proud, and wealthy lord. As a gift to his young bride be ordered a small keep built into the side of a hill. The keep would serve to defend the young bride's favorite shrine to the goddess of beauty. Some sad the shrine was cursed but the lord was so in love, he ignored their tales.

Unfortunately, it appears as if they were correct. The architect designed the keep with a flaw, designing the arrow slits incorrectly. As the keep neared completion the young bride grew ill and died suddenly. Distraught, the lord ended up engaging in a foolhardy battle and was soon slain.

Today, locals proclaim the keep haunted by the lord while the bride haunts the shrine, never to meet and lost in despair and remorse for a love lost and lives wasted.

Black and White version.

A faded color/black and white version, creates a strong contrast for the walls.

Happy Veterans Day

Happy Veterans Day to all those who have, or do, wear the uniform.

May this flag fly until the sun no longer sets and services as a beacon of freedom to all humanity until that time.

Martha on happiness

Playing around with a style used by +MonkeyBlood Design and after dinner drew up a quick attempt. I decided to clean it up and share with everyone. Drew this on plain printer paper with a two fine Sharpie pens (one almost out of ink) from pens I found in my desk (too lazy to get my real markers).

I really liked making this one, fun, free and fast style. I think I made too many with fences and should have left more open but closer together, so it formed more of 'downtown' area.

Playing around with some GIMP options and styles and I ended up making a map. Go figure.
