Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
of sun-split clouds, — and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of — wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there,
I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air….
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace.
Where never lark, or even eagle flew —
And, while with silent lifting mind I have trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
- Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.
For my Character Design final, I have to design the cast of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, this is what I’m looking at for Captain Nemo. We had a choice of different stories to do, a lot of people are doing 20,000 Leagues and I noticed most of the other Nemo’s are kind of well-groomed, well-kept guys.
I guess I just wanted to make him a little grizzlier, because I figured someone who’s been exiled at sea for many years and hates society probably doesn’t give two shits about the way they look.
Have I mentioned Yoji Shinkawa is my favorite artist… ever?
