The Raven

[Grislygus]

An updated take on it, hopefully I'll be able to finish the whole poem.

I thought that said 'someone gently fapping' and was immediately horrified :<

[ItalianStereotype]

the enlarged image cuts out the "rapping at my chamber door" ;<

That's somewhat accurate, actually. The "quaint and curious volume" he's reading is a 1978 Playboy, a plot point I hope to visit before the trailer blows up.

The enlarged version is a just an unedited scan of the original drawing, so it doesn't have the last line superimposed over it.

cleche, and it looks like you drew with a bic.

[Grislygus]

You mean the poem is cliche'd, or having it feature an elderly, drunken redneck in a trailer is?

[Idi Amin]

a modern interpitation of that damn poem

[Supafly345]

You're sharp Idi, I didn't notice that.

"Prophet!" said I, "thing of evil! - prophet still, if bird or devil!"

[JediScum]

"There once was a girl named Lenore
And a bird and a bust and a door
And a guy with depression
And a whole lot of questions
And the bird always says 'Nevermore'".

[Chojin]

You guys leave lenor out of this

[Grislygus]

Attention whoring continued!

i like the first panel of the last picture! i'm in love with that composition.

[Chojin]

the lighting when he's firing the gun looks more like dramatic room lighting than the gun's light. It might look more like the light from the gunshot if you have the light following a cone shape.

[Grislygus]

Yeah, but I wrote the words first, and they had to be readable.

Except that I could have made the words white, so... crap. White out it is, then.

[MLE]

I think that's a good suggestion and I hope it turns out well!

Creepy bird head <3

[Kitsa]

I love that the bust is a deer head. It fits so well.

That raven reminds be of British Iranian comedian Omid Djalili. He does this scary chin laugh.
