'E' is for...

Eclipso, Ego the Living Planet and Eraserhead. (click for a big 'un)

Today's characters were selected by John Morgan Neal of Aym Geronimo fame - Thanks John!

I'm a little disapointed that the scan made the pencil shading on Eraserhead appear much harsher than it is, perhaps I'll find a good scan setting for soft pencil one of these days.

Call me Mr No-Imagination but these were three characters I would never have thought of doing by myself. Some great choices today.

So, this is the new Eclipso. The wife of....umm, one of the DC heroes...The Atom I think. Anyway, shes evil now and that's all I know. ;-)

Ego the Living Planet. What's there to say bout this fella. He's a planet that's alive. I've only read about him during the Exiles series when he implanted the Earth with his seed with the intention of making it sentient to act as back-up in some fight he was having. Why he chose Earth and not one of the bigger planets I can't figure out. heh.

By all accounts Eraserhead is a surrealist horror film that has become a cult classic even though most viewers seem baffled by the narrative, or lack of. I've been reading some of the interpretations and it seems to make no sense to me! David Lynch followed this up with The Elephant Man which, co-incidentely was my original choice for 'E'.

ok, gotta get to cooking my dinners for tomorrow.

Take care all
