Outcast Demon

Giddy from the elation of having my Dragon picture come out right I was inspired to draw this. It is based on the fact that I was in my final year at university and looking impending secession of Internet facilities in the face. At the time by far the best ISP for the technically minded was Demon. I had done some research on what domain names where available and come up with the possibility of outcast.demon.co.uk.

In the end I was without job for some time. When Freeserve came along offering pretty much the same facilities as Demon but for the cost of calls only I went for it. Of course since then I have got a job and discovered that Freeserves service, while being OK, was not all it could have been. So now I am with Demon but outcast had been taken.

Anyway, as you can see this picture was sketched on the back of something on thin paper. That explains why you can see writing in the background. The picture never made it to a second version on good paper with all my notes and scribbles removed. So here it is, presented raw, if you like.
