My, what a lovely picture of Mega-Man...

It's rare that an artist's statement gives true value to otherwise easily forgotten work, but this clumsily wrought illustration of Mega-Man by ~eluted over at deviantART transcends mediocrity to masterpiece thanks to a twain of jotted-off, explanatory lines, written by the artist herself.

The first:

Tools of the Trade: menstrual fluid, ink

And then again on another page:

menstral fluid in sketchbook

Notice that a "pen" or any other drawing instrument is not mentioned as a tool having being employed in this artistic reproduction of one of 8-bit gaming's most cherished heroes. What we have here is a work of art that was literally birthed.

Update: The genesis of a masterpiece? Quoth the artist:

I painted it for my husband--it was a request.

Part of me wants to know how long it took her to draw/paint that. Part of me really doesn't.

I wonder if Unity will feature this...

Also, Mega Man, rendered in feminine juices.

So this is a picture of him after his battle with Splash Woman?

More as I think of them.
