Artist's Comments

-- By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe --

This is my 'rough' sketch of some tattoo work I have in my future Body Art Wish List. I already have a Fleur-de-lis on the back of my neck, which I plan to sit above and center.

Sorry, no downloads of this one, I spent about 5 hours on this tonight and am not giving it up easily. You'll have to do the work to remove dA's [quasi] watermark if you want it, but it'd be way cooler if you didn't. =)

I love the quotation - does it have a source, or did you make it yourself?
:iconkillbot-beauty:
Thanks! It's a phrase Latin in origin.

WIKIPEDIA: [link]

Ah, its from Faustus. Magnificent.
:iconkillbot-beauty:
A great piece of 16th Century literature that has served as muse for man creative minds since.

Out of Faustus also came:
"Solamen miseris socios habuisse doloris"
which, apart from sounding like witchcraft, is "Misery Loves Company"
or, a much cooler, tattoo friendly interpretation by Neil Gaiman:
"It is a comfort in wretchedness to have friends in woe"

(bored, have books lying around.)
:iconkillbot-beauty:
Neil Gaiman is a superb author.

He is! that, and noone else would have the guts to re-interpret Faustus.
..cept maybe the hundreds of authors that have redone it.
:iconkillbot-beauty:
hahaha. He still rocks.
