This Barley Makes Sense
by `JohnSuManga & Anime / Digital Media / Paintings ©2011-2012 `JohnSu

Perhaps the theme of my life as an artist?

I actually made because I wanted there to be something for Edfried Jones to agree with.

The subject of this picture was made with a similar theme: the misspelling of words into words that are spelled correctly but are still different words.

When I first drew this, I thought that barley grew really tall - like as tall as a man. And then when I was working on the background and looking for references on barley fields on Google, I learned (much to my horror) that barley grows only about 2-3 feet tall.

I had already colored the main barley and everything, so I just had the background barley at normal height and left the main barley alone. It is a special barley, okay? One that can teach you things and wears a face and makes sense.

I am experimenting with this piece to make it look like watercolors using only Flash's built in bitmap filters, but I'm afraid I can't nail the textures without actionscript or imported bitmaps like I did in my flashbook. I think it's kind of there, but I'm also afraid the blurriness will just make you want to wipe your eyeballs or something.

Made in Flash

It's good that she isn't going against the grain.

This pun would work better if both words were spelt the same way.

More rye humor.
