You can choose only one! I thought this would be a nice way to show some cool art around here. Here's mine:

There was this one painting that I completely forget the name of and the artist. I saw it at the Frist building in Nashville a few years back, it was an incredibly detailed self-portrait with some fantastic embellishments (galaxies swirling in his sleeves and the like). The fact that I will never again see it or even know it's name, most likely, is deeply saddening, though the faded mental image I retain of it still makes it my favorite. If I ever happen across it again I'll edit :(
You think you're pretty smart with your dago mustache and your greasy hair.

One of my favorite paintings as well.
1H stab is the fastest, strongest and longest 1H animation. There's no reason NOT to use it in all instances. I don't know if it's OP, but it's boring. 1H used to be fun because you had a fast (left), long (right) and the most devastating attack (stab) and had to choose the best attack for each occasion.

That's awesome, I really like paintings featuring an eerie character in black robes, if you couldn't tell :P

The problem with post-1900 plastic arts is that you still have beautiful/interesting things, but there's a flood of ugly crap that only interests critics. I mean, I could just shit, take a picture before flushing, hang it somewhere and some people would still comment on how profound and passionating my feces are.
