Face Reveal... Kinda... · 5:56am Jun 21st, 2018
Dear Bronies and Pegasisters,
Yes, you read the title of this right. In a way, this is a sort of face reveal. I know that as I'm getting closer to my 25th birthday and almost four years writing stories for you guys, I have kept what I looked like a secret. A very good one in fact, that only a mere handful on this site has any idea what I really sound like, much less what I look like. I know the pony avatar created by the talented Mix-up for the face you see today. But the fact of the matter is, the original design you see here is kinda based off of me. Even asked him to put certain objects in the picture that reflected who I am. From the typewriter to substitute my main writing tool: a laptop. To the viola in the background in which shows not only the instrument I really play, but for my love of music as well.
However, what a huge chunk of you may not know, is that believe it or not, I do have a hobby outside of writing. On weekends, I paint. For the last few years, I have been teaching myself how to paint. This is coming from a guy who has never set foot in an art class. And has taken a few lessons from some youtube videos and criticism from a retired art teacher. Of course, I have slowly been improving as time goes by. And eventually I had created a Deviantart account in which I called myself: LastImpressionist.
The very picture that I'm about to show you, is my second attempt to do a self portrait in the style of my favorite artist: Vincent van Gogh. Here below is what I look like from the clothes to the awkwardly drawn face, it is without a doubt mine. The face of the author himself that he painted by his hand in September of last year.
So why am I showing you my portrait than an actual photo of me? This is partly for security reasons but I now, for the first time want to allow you readers a peak behind the veil of text at who is making all of this. And the reason why is because of the authors and readers who keep me going. That at times I have seen their faces more than once. So now it's about time I do the same with mine.
With a handshake,
Your fellow writer, painter, and closeted Brony,
-CrackedInkWell.
Cool, and nice character persona art! :3
Not bad for a doing it only for a few years. My compliments.
