    Sweet.

    When i first read Wizard and Glass i had trouble trying to imagine what the thinny actually looked like. I could'nt decide whether it looked a bit like how the stargate portal does (shimmering fluid wall) or if it was a lot more organic and alive.
    Then one night i had this bizarre dream where it came to me, and it kind of made sense its a combination of both.
    The next morning i was sketching it down because i did'nt want to lose that image of it i had in my head.
    This contest is definitely a challenge, but im gonna include my vision of the thinny into this as its one of the biggest things about the dark tower i've been fascinated with.

    I'm such a geek lol

    I like Dag, I like. Something like the thinny will be a lot of fun to try to create. Good choice!

    Yeah, some of us can't draw people, so this is a nice change of pace.

    Yeah, I was trying to get away from the characters for awhile, so others could participate.

    I think this one is going to be a lot of fun.

    I believe I may have a working sketch for this. I'm going to use construction paper tomorrow.

    I think Boehmke was going to do something for this too.

    I'm excited to see what you guys come up with.
    A true firewasp ninja would never wear such a ridiculous sweater.

    There's logic in nonsense.

    Give me all the bacon and eggs you have.

    This is the limit of my artistic abilities. Dora had some fun paper so here we go.

    Hopefully the thinny looks like its encroaching.

    ...and the pile of brush looks real. I have no idea why the bird is there.

    Thanks you guys, the photo is really crappy. It was nice to stretch those artist muscles, made me feel like Edgar.

    I was asked to give an extension to this contest, so it will now end February 21, 2008.

    Yep, there you go setting the bar too high.
