I was just doing some abstract doodling with a dusty Tombow, and I started drawing a weird mechano-rooster, and a bizarre platform. As a silhouette, it reminded me of a weather vane.
I scanned it and added some wrought-iron type detailing in Painter 8, then got to work on what I thought might be a fitting background for such a strange foreground. Did some minor color tweaking on the sky in Paint Shop Pro X, but otherwise its all free-hand, start to finish.
The curly and cogwheely silhouette is really pretty. Eh, wait - why'd a weather wane point out to the North? Is there something you're not telling, here?
Unless the North really is shifting. In a steampunky little village like this, who knows what important role the direction of magnetic North is playing in the farmers' simple lives?
Across the globe, 27 million men, women, and children live in some form of slavery. That is more people at this moment than in all the centuries of the Atlantic Slave Trade. Something must be done.

Open to all mediums. Deadline is March 10, 2010 @ 11:59pm PST.
