Description
When the lord's daughter was displaced from her own body by an angry witch, her wandering spirit immediately sought the aid of her family's champion vassal - the Armored Lion.The Armored Lion was a knight of renown, famous for his lion-like valor and his armor-like armor. He was a very large man who could plow through ten armed opponents with ease (eleven, if they were unarmed). Also, he died a long time ago.
This is a problem. So ghost girl instead enlists the aid of his armor which stands over his grave. Begrudgingly, the armor leaves its post to perform its master's duty in his stead.
And so begins the Armored Lion's final quest: to find the witch and destroy her. His quest does not end, because I am only half a story teller and don't know how to wrap things up. But if you believe in yourself, you can imagine it!
Sometimes people ask me "John, where do you get your ideas from?" Usually I fail to answer or make one up, but this time I can say with all honesty that I got it from stucco!
You might be able to spot it if you look in the upper right quadrant of this image here: [link]
My buddy ~Rakugaki-otoko also tried the same technique, with different results. Check it out! [link]
It's fun stuff.

FFF! The place where I used to live had squirrels ALL OVER THE CEILING. I could never get a good nights sleep cause it would be like.
"D'Awwe. Deres a squirrel up there."
And there was this fox thing too and a banana.
Also there's this old splotch left over on my mother ceiling that's from an old christmas decoration. It looks like a girl with spike action men hair wearing a tutu and running with this fat dog with floppy ears.

"eleven, if they were unarmed"
I freaking -love- you! XD
Also, amazing art is amazing.

This one's better, though. B:

VERY nice. The light outlines against the dark background makes the picture pop out instantly, and the color scheme itself is strong, but not stark. Kudos.

I am SO glad that I'm not the only person who gets ideas from granite, smudges on things, floor tiles, etc. xD

I can't wait for the hypothetical day when you make an anime even if the stories will all be in two parts without a second part.

I wondered why you made her dress so jagged...
That's great though. I'm always seeing crap in curtains, wall paper and of course stucco. And it's really cool that you all made your own interpertation of picture a of...stucco from wikipedia?
Wait, how the hell did this even become a topic? Do you and your friends have compitions to see who can find the most boring thing online, an then see who can stare at it the longest? If that's the case, I would assume these pictures are the final event in case of a tie...fascinating.
Seems like a lot of fun though, I would love to make my own version like Rakugaki suggested. But unfortunatey my eyes are no longer virgin. All I can see now is a knight with a sword/ghost chick's head.
I got no clue where Godsavant's mech came from.
Does that mean he won?

We are all winners. We have the gold stars to prove it.
Honestly, the stucco thing was a bit of a desperation move for lack of inspiration.

I hate to be a fan-tard... but... am i the only one who though Full Metal Alchemist when I saw the armor? Any way, Great work John! It's always fun looking through your art and reading the story's that go with them.

Thanks!
There were others who mentioned FMA. There have also been comparisons to Spirit Tracks.
I can see the similarities of both in this picture, though.

Why always daughters of rich men!! Why can't they be average girls with average lives!
The stucco wall will become one of my sources, I think. I need to carry a paper sheet and a pencil every time I go to the bathroom, cracks always give amazing ideas for drawing

Conceptually speaking your idea reminds me of Zelda's role in LoZ: Spirit Tracks. Hmm...

Epicness. I often base pictures off of shapes I see in carpet and nature and such, so it's cool to see that epic-level people do that, too.

Funnily enough, I can't see any armored figures anywhere.
I can, however, discern a peaceful-looking ghost girl, perhaps extracting herself out of a-hmm.
A small child, praying.

praying about the ghost girl that keeps giving him diarrhea

oh no; interminable rectal explosions are things that ought to be prayed about.
