that he sure isn't....

beautiful work once again

Awwww, poor guy, he needs some cheering up *gives him a big ole hug* there perhaps that will help. Great work, as usual, I love your style. SB.

He needs a hug, AND a big slab of chocolate to lift that expression of his.

I cant help but think of Rorschach while looking at this, very well done.

You did a wonderful job with this. Thanks again for the commission!

Tycho said Rorschach, I thought of Robin Williams... *too soon*

So beautiful, yet so sad. I love it.

Ah yes, that philosophical conundrum; the Jester brings merriment to others, but who brings merriment to him?

How about a mirror?

That rarely works very well.

“Heard joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says, "Treatment is simple. Great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up." Man bursts into tears. Says, "But doctor...I am Pagliacci.”
Watchmen

That was also on QI as well. But yer still funny.

Not my joke,.

I never said that you had stolen it. If that's what came across then I'm sorry.

I wasn't sure what you meant.
It's happened that I said something smart that wasn't from me and some thought I was smarter than I am. I just wanted to make clear that I neither came up with that myself or claim I did.

*sigh* And that is the part were my english language skills are still lacking. Subtilities like that still evade me.

P.S. Nothing to apologize.

Reminds me of the Pagliacci joke.

A good one!

here ya go, a nice bottle of 50 year old Amodallo and a flagon of hot buttered rum chaser

Now if there's a smile on my face, it's only there to fool the public... but when it comes down to fooling you, honey, that's quite a different subject...

For a moment of levity, have a novelty song about Texans who get stuck in a performance of I Pagliacci. "As the footlights fade out, we see Pal Yat Chee laid out, but the dagger never caused it - Palyatchee was plumb exhausted!"

Lovely, though quite sad.

Your attention to detail and facial expressions is, as always,

"When the mask comes off, the world seems less amusing."

Awwww I'll always love the way you draw foxes.

Nice! Lots of emotion in this one. You outdid yourself on this one Rukis.

Let's put a smile on this face!

:( Too deep

So much emotion in his face....

That souless look reminds me of Amon.

As always, the emotion here is striking.

Often the funniest person wears the thickest mask that hides the pain of what lies beneath

Ain't that it.

Nice!

No. you are more, and cute
