This is also the first time that I drew the cursed necklace. It was just one of those inspriational moments when I was messing around. The cursed necklace will come up again in the future. I have started a short story line that explains and enhances the idea.rohwer_25http://www.blogger.com/profile/00074314373175396017noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2441403820531025158.post-67003023247182183752007-10-01T09:21:00.000-07:002007-10-01T09:22:31.670-07:00I was going through my old scketch books and found a few more piece from Island of the Gods to put up.
