Holy @#$@!

I am both flattered and blown away. This is Incredibly gorgeous!

Being a dude, and not a particularly pretty one at that, I don't get alot of "Fan Art". Magdalene has freaking libaries of the stuff - attractive girls will get fan art even if they have no skill other then being "hot". Hot, talented girls get OODLES of the stuff. But grisly old pirate captians...eh, not so much. Well, Chloe has fingure painted many a spiky headed stick figure, but I digress.

Anyway, Foxfire has just amazed me with this one!  And whatever that thing in frount of me is, I MUST have one in my studio! (Grammaphonic Orrie? Glob-a-ma-phone?)

You know, I've wanted to draw the rest of Abney Park for a while, but work keeps getting in the way. After reading this I think I finally got the kick I needed for it...

Um, I'll be in my bunk.

Nuff' said. ;-)

First off, awesome picture. Fucking great

Second, you may not be a "pretty" guy but you're fucking HAWT (pronounced as spelled) and you're voice is cream-worthy.

I have to agree with mindful. And it was that wonderful deep male voice of yours that got me hooked on Abney Park.

if you're into that sort of thing...

hehehehe

I am so blissed that you like the portrait. It was pure pleasure to make, all the while listening to AP on continual repeat. I kept imagining you leaping into the new Indiana Jones movie...heh.

The Glob-a-ma-phone (LOL love that name) definitely needs to have a home in your studio. Now just to locate a genius inventor to create it. ;)

I couldn't help but pin the airship medal of honor on you as well. Just seemed a shame there's only two in the whole flippin' world, and that at least one of them wasn't in your posession. At least it is now, virtually. :D

I'll be sending you an email link to the full res file of this, to use and abuse at your whim. Daniel is the next one in my line of sight to do a portrait of, if he doesn't mind. :D

What on earth do you mean "Whatever that thing is"? I just picked up my Glob-a-ma-Phone yesterday. They're at Target, just so you know. Only $362.57 or $152 if you perform a song and dance.
ANYWAY....
I'm not sure how you think you're not pretty, but then again I don't think any cap'in WANTS to be both intimidating AND pretty. I think it's pretty much an 'either or' situation.

Sorry, I'm rambl'n. G'day, cap'in!

"Only $362.57 or $152 if you perform a song and dance."

Are you telling me an Abney Park song and dance is only worth $210.57?! Well, maybe thats about right...

You don't get fan art? I'm surprised at that, you're extremely pretty... *cough* er, Captain... sir... *headdesk* sorry. XD

I saw that a while back on DA and favorited it, it really is a stunning piece.

That's really gorgeous. Who's the guy?

Seriously, you're very dashing and handsome. I can't believe you don't get fan art. Abney Park is one of the most beautiful bands around, hands down.
24th-Mar-2008 09:50 pm (UTC)
WOW that is incredibly beautiful. *jealous*
25th-Mar-2008 01:06 am (UTC)
Very nice!

You may be in luck, The Maker Store is now selling Edison Style Cup Phonograph Kits for about $35.

With some tweaking and artistic modifications you too could have your own Globe-a-ma-phone.

Hey. I hope you don't mind me saying this, but...

But grisly old pirate captains...eh, not so much.

I must say I disagree. I think you are an incredibly good-looking man. And by far the "hottest" in Abney Park. A friend pointed me to your music and not only are you gorgeous, not only is the music awesome, but you have a terrific voice!

YOU ALL HAVE A NEW FAN!

I understand you even package up your CDs! Any chance of an autograph when I order? **G**

Namasté
Ben

PS: May I friend you journal?
