An exercise in depression

[davidn]

A friend who no longer uses Livejournal and has retreated to Facebook posted this simple set of instructions:

1. Search for "[your name] The Hedgehog" on Deviantart.
2. Prepare to lose the will to live.

By this point I've been fairly well inoculated against the kinds of things that you would expect to find from such a search (especially as you're spared seeing explicit artwork unless you have an account there), so I found the results more funny than anything else. This misshapen sort of lump was probably my favourite out of the bunch, for the sort of gardening glove accessories as well as the obligatory vaguely unusual eyes in an impossible superpower tarted up as some sort of hard-weighing disability.

I also found a sort of post-Picasso attempt on the second page of my results.

I am pleased to announce that Kjorteo the Hedgehog brings 0 results and therefore I win.

I am aware that I may have done this exercise wrong and/or cheated.

Okay, going back and trying this again for real, I'd just like to point out that I am in awe of the near-CT2 levels of years of hard work this must have taken. The preplanning alone for a design that imaginative, let alone the execution....

:D At this point, I have no idea where the second step in the plan above came into being, because this is hysterical. That's not even a recolour... that's a... wallpapering over!

I was just musing today that even though I feel sort of conspicuous not having come up with a suitable alternative name for myself, perhaps among the Dax Silverpaws and Ark Nytros of the world, "David" is now one of the most unusual and exotic names an anthropomorph could have.

"I am pleased to announce that Kjorteo the Hedgehog brings 0 results and therefore I win."

Rectifying that omission of fate may well be a good enough reason for me to pick up a pencil and start drawing.
