Squishy Little Dictator

I think this may qualify for the weirdest thing I have ever painted! A lot of what you see here is the result of a really odd dream. As I was painting and pondering the dream, (I'll skip over the potentially embarrassing Freudian interpretations:) I decided to sketch this little beastie as "the heart." It's like a squishy little dictator...or a delicate monarch who unquestionably wins the fight vs common sense. How can our strongest part also be our weakest?

    Holy crap you are an awesome artist!! Makes me kinda jealous; I wish I had some drawing talent (I've always wanted to draw superhero comics. So much for that dream.) However, I believe I can write comics. Any chance you would want to collaberate? Thought I'd ask.
    Seriously,you're good. Did you take/are taking art classes, or is all natural talent?
    I followed your link on your blog at 1up, so I'll see you around there. I'm grumpygamer.
    Damn, I'm jealous...:)

    Thanks! :D I looked at a lot of old school paintings and tried to figure out how they all get that "alabasterey" look. Was a fun exercise.
