# That barn owl
looks a bit sarky. A bit too triumphal. I'm going to have to click for big.

Woo!

# It was quite a grumpy owl in real life.
I think she'd had enough of being handled by punters and wanted to go back in her box.

# I can but sympathise
Happy candleday all the same.
*Half-hearted thumbs-up*
*cries for the owls loss of liberty*

...No, I'll be fine.

# that's a mighty fine demon,

# Congratulations, Bob!
*sets off fireworks to irritate the neighbours* I like your owl. Does she have a name?

# She's called Mulberry and she lives at the Hawk Conservancy in Andover.

Mulberry! Yes.

Also what happened to your profile?

# I baleeted it so I could make a new one
and forgot to do the second bit.

# No pictures of Ninja BobTodd?
Jeru is dismayed.

Also I forgot to say you're picture is amazing, you've managed to gradually grow to doing really good illustrations over the past...well however long. Which makes me incredibly jealous and angry!

# Pfft, it only looks cool because I stuck it to some fancy craft paper to distract from the flaws (and it worked!)
(I helped save b3ta! Bob Todd whee, Wed 6 May 2009, 0:54, archived)
# I'm sure that's not the only reason,
and flaws aren't necessarily bad in any case. Most of the time, they're only flaws to you because only you know you didn't do them on purpose.

# See, you're just like the pros now!

Actually I was modelling for an art class today, the tutors don't know what they're talking about anyway really! All they have to do is be nice and tell people what to change, and say the phrase "I'm a great believer in" about a billion fucking times.

# My GCSE art teacher used to ruin everyone's paintings,
and then go "hmm yeah, it looked better before..."

# I once did a painting with a moon on it,
and he went "what's this floating lump of granite here?" It's a moon, it's made of rock. That it looks like a lump of rock is not a major issue. And then he proceeded to turn it into some kind of fucking floating Christmas tree bauble. I was a little bit put out.

# He ought to have overlaid a sheet of acetate on it and painted changes on there.
It's annoying when someone else draws right on your thing.

# Thankfully our art teacher was incredibly fusty and old so probably wouldn't be able to fucking see anything anyway.

# Way to show up my crappy MSPaint drawing...
Also why for some reason am I certain that that's a black demon? I swear he just looks like blackman...demon.

I'm being incredibly coherent tonight!

# btw, next time:
"Hooves".

Not "hoofs".

Tch.

# I know hooves is correct, I just prefer hoofs.
I prefer stomp to stamp too. Some words are just better in wronglish.

# I read it in a Yorkshire voice.
I think Norbert Dentressangle and Dweezil Zappa are cooler names, though.

# Ah.
Forgive me - there I was, pedantic, not allowing you the poetic license that is your right.

"Hoofs" is indeed good in its context. My bad!

# Wasn't it Tolkein who invented the plural "dwarves" or something?
It's always "dwarfs" in astronomical contexts, I believe.
(I helped save b3ta! Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Wed 6 May 2009, 0:58, archived)
# Or something.
I remember an author's note in The Hobbit regarding the use of dwarfish vs dwarvish, but I can't remember what was what.

When I typed this, FF spellcheck approved dwarfish but not dwarvish (or spellcheck. Cuh).

# Something to do with Elven/Elfin.
My spellcheck doesn't have the word "prize" in it.
