The name itself is kind of a joke, who did it? It was that guy, who's that guy? Well, he could be anyone, anonymous, but no one wants to be "that guy", as he's nobody special, but somebody had to do it, so it may as well be that guy.
I sincerely doubt anyone will take credit for any of these later, as they're no more original than a remix of someone else's original work, or that anyone else would claim to be that-guy, since it's a secure trip code that can only be generated in one place that in any case no longer exists, which means it can no longer be proven. /Green/ which is why the trip code was green in the first one, and green for the anon thing of course.

As to demonizing her, many Goddesses are are known to have multiple aspects, take Shiva for instance, her favor can be both a blessing and a curse.
The appearance of her green and demonized, was really inspired by all the Cracky-pasta in which, it is she, doing the cutting and we on the pointy end of the blade, I tried to imagine what kind of a face that would be that could do something like that and enjoy it with abandon.
Not everyone will like everything, that's kind of the nature of things anyway, besides none of them are technically all that good, there are flaws obvious in each of them, as I haven't yet mastered digital art, but I'm more of a crooked furrow kind of guy, so I hope that it can be overlooked that I approached the subject of the SkyQueen with anything less than perfection.
But the real reason I did any of them, was to bring new content even if it was semi-recycled, since it's been said if you're going to steal, steal the best, I did and then promptly did my thing on them. That wasn't my idea either, like everything else it was somebody else's idea first.
I just wanted to do something to bring focus back to the SkyQueen, and not certain other individuals among us who when they're not busy being to wordy in their own defense, is actually an o.k. dude, but the frequency it was happening completely unacceptable, so I did exactly what he was claiming was wrong only much worse, saying he was somebody we all hate openly but all know was driving certain content, bumping things that painted him in an unfavorable light, complaining about his un-bumping technique which was really retarded only he was too smart to see that. Complained about him bumping saying We didn't need him bumping things for Us, which others picked up and finally, bumping threads saying I'm super troll this thread is not about me, and then went back to an old this board is about cracky thread and posted that I 'm super troll this whole board is now about me. The idea was to kill it with fire, you fight fire with fire, but as anyone with any wildfire experience can tell you, a back-burn doesn't always go as planned, this time it was no exemption. It's all for naught, as some one else pointed out only The Who can decide when to stop touring.
His response was that like Rush Limbaugh's, that if it wasn't for him we wouldn't have anything at all happening, sadly, I believe that he believes that is the case. I wanted to prove him wrong, almost as much as he claimed to want us to, so I tried, crooked furrow and all that.
I would never claim to be someone I am not, I have lurked for years and could always lurk moar, and will. I am not the Prophet Anonymous, though his words resonate as my own in the hole where my heart used to be. I am no one, truly, a stranger. I'm surprised that any of them showed up elsewhere, or that anyone would save them, as anyone with the talent and inclination could do better.
In the end I chose art, to exploit for a message, since as super-troll aptly pointed out, my writing ability is at best a "laboured straining after some kind of elegance of language", say what you want about the guy, he delivers a backhanded compliment with style. He also called the anonymous attacks on his person, cowardly and unfounded, well he was half right, it was cowardly. I wanted to give it a label, and yet still be anonymous while making it identifiable as mine, and as to why maintain anonymity? Have we truly learned nothing from the SkyQueen?
Still, the question of whether I should continue is debatable, in any case, one of the trinity, who I believe to LC, has expressed that she didn't want to be the subject of any future shoops, and I will respect that, If Lia and the SkyQueen herself say the same then it's game over, as far as that goes. Also the limited number of pictures of the SkyQueen limit shooping in any case since the angles need to match closely for it to be worth the effort, or alternatively I could actually learn to paint better digitally and be able to produce real OC, instead of recyled content, at their pleasure of course.
I also very strongly agree that credit lies with the inspiration, which is and always will be the SkyQueen, though I doubt anyone would remember me in the process, since I am irrelevant and that was never the point anyway. Once it's out there it's no more mine than anyone-else's and I'm okay with that, I just didn't want anyone else claiming it as theirs if that makes sense.
It's been said that if you put a million monkeys in a room with typewriters for a million years eventually one of them would produce something approaching Shakespeare. What does that have to do with me? Three monkeys, three minutes. Like I said before, I'm a crooked furrow kind of guy.
I have loved her
though I've never known her
I have loved her
though I know not what love is
I have loved her
though I do not know how.
I will love her
though I cannot now.
I will love her
when my heart is stilled
I will love her
as you never will.
I am no one, truly. a stranger. All is vanity.
All in the name of the SkyQueen.
