Description

I'm only guessing where my 16-year-old brain was at when I did this fairie toilet war pencil sketch. Who knows? I only found this within the past two weeks or so, while going through some old boxes and stuff in the basement.

Okay, here�s what�s going on in the sketch:
The scenario is a World War II style dogfight, except with tiny fairies. A bogie's been splashed. Except instead of a Jap Zero plunging into the Pacific, it's been splashed into the toilet bowl. Another bogey crashes, except instead of a Messerschmidt crashing into the French countryside ala the classic comic book World War II dogfight scenario, it's slammed into a bunch of toilet paper rolls.
Of course. Makes perfect sense.

The two fairie who have wings (your basic Tinkerbell style model) have been chased in an aerial dogfight pursuit, into this bathroom. Their opponents (referred to hereafter as �the bogies�) seem to be four fairie-folk without wings, brandishing spears and flying on a kind of miniature dragon.

In the foreground, a winged fairie seems to have rope-a-doped the bogie pursuing her by pulling up at the last minute, while her pursuer couldn't pull up in time and flew into a stack of rolls of toilet paper.

In the background three bogies are chasing a winged fairy. She's also done the rope-a-dope and also pulled up at the last minute. One unfortunate bogie pursuer seems to have slammed straight into the toilet bowl, ker-splash. It's unknown from the picture if the bowl is otherwise occupied. The bogey pursuer behind the dunked one has managed to pull up in time. And there's also some kind of bogie flight-leader lurking around up top.

I'm guessing I did this for my art class, where we had a standing assignment to hand in a sketchbook at the end of the week with at least one sketch per day. That�s five sketches for five school days. Obviously I'm a idea guy. The pencil art is really very, very sketchy. And the worm's eye perspective (because fairie-folk are weensy, 'natch) is so whacked as to defy description. That's why I'm thinking: 16 year old me was just putting down an idea pulled-up from my comics warped psyche.
