"Armored Lion

When the lord's daughter was displaced from her own body by an angry witch, her wandering spirit immediately sought the aid of her family's champion vassal - the Armored Lion.

The Armored Lion was a knight of renown, famous for his lion-like valor and his armor-like armor. He was a very large man who could plow through ten armed opponents with ease (eleven, if they were unarmed). Also, he died a long time ago.

This is a problem. So ghost girl instead enlists the aid of his armor which stands over his grave. Begrudgingly, the armor leaves its post to perform its master's duty in his stead.

And so begins the Armored Lion's final quest: to find the witch and destroy her. His quest does not end, because I am only half a story teller and don't know how to wrap things up. But if you believe in yourself, you can imagine it!

Sometimes people ask me "John, where do you get your ideas from?" Usually I fail to answer or make one up, but this time I can say with all honesty that I got it from stucco!
You might be able to spot it if you look in the upper right quadrant of this image here: [link]

My buddy ~Rakugaki-otoko also tried the same technique, with different results. Check it out! [link]
It's fun stuff.

Why is it that your uploads are so heavily artifacted? The sources of your john_su uploads are .png, so it bothers me that there is no reason to convert them to .jpeg with so much compression.

Strange, that's a good point... why are these converted to JPGs when the source is PNG?

The only difference I can see if that these were apparently linked to after accessing them from the gallery page... does that cause them to become jpegs somehow?
