The 572nd Day

Description

At the risk of sounding ironic, this probably will be the last of the Hypercube Days series, and the quality of this piece should be a clue as to why. I wrestled for what seemed like forever about whether or not to convert it to negative. At one point, only the text below was in true color with the hands in negative, but it just didn't look right. At the same time, blue text (which is what this shade of orange looks like in negative) doesn't carry a lot of tension; it's almost calm and soothing, which would be totally wrong for the piece. On the other hand, black lines against a white background just didn't seem to fit the handprints.
The fact of the matter is, I've run out of ideas for this series. In fact, one abandoned idea for the last piece was going to be The 999th Day, and all it would be is the phrase "I ran out of ink" in bold, red brush strokes, implying... well, the point is when ideas like that are popping into your head, it's probably a good time to stop. I won't even go into detail about the "ghost" one.
Of course, I really am appreciative of the response this series has gotten, and I've long since passed my personal goal of making a themed series longer than The Quadragrams Book (Dungeon Tiles doesn't count!).
As for my regular output, that's not a problem, either; I've got a to-do list and a handful of preliminary sketches spread across the three red cahiers I've been using for brainstorming. As for Hypercube Days, I'm sorry to disappoint, but this is the last.
