I didn't get a chance to add any illustrations to the last chapter of P-Theory before I published it, but I finally had time to sit down and do one, then did another because it took so long.
Check 'em out!
Or if you don't feel like going back to the story, here they are anyway!
Ooooh, I just want to hug her and pet her and call her George!
So the first image is about a giga-smile. And the second, if I were an artist I could tell you why, but I only know that you are getting even better at drawing windows. It's not real, but it certainly feels that way.
Now funny thing happened, I was browsing around your deviantart and found this image again, and I kinda thought "Oh, that's how the placebo effect works!" Well, that would possibly be how it works if magic were real and followed something close to what I suspect your ~verse's magic works. (Because somewhere in there mental concepts get turned into super-complex reality stuff, and placebo is when the mind thinking the body is healing somehow makes the body heal a bit sometimes.)
Your illustrations are always such a joy. You are very, very good.

Just wait for the Faulknerian gigantic manchild cameo...

Haha, I'm really glad you like those. I didn't really make many decisions going into either one, but I'm glad they turned out.
It's interesting about the placebo effect... Of course, on one level, the thought that you're going to get better is just as much of a physical phenomenon as any injury or illness in the first place, and especially your noticing and perceiving that you're sick or hurt, so it's no surprise they'd influence each other, but at the same time, those thoughts aren't "made of" anything in themselves, only embodied by the pattern of activity in a brain, so something weird and informational is still going on... But we kinda knew that already just from plain ol' reductionist physics.

Thanks! It's my day job, so I certainly hope so...
I figure if I use enough different styles, some kind of triangulation of what everything really looks like will take place.
