Celestial Eyes

Image
Celestial Eyes is a 1924 painting by Francis Cugat, but most known for being the original cover art for Francis Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby . The image is a combination of 2 references in the novel: The billboard of Dr. Eckleburg watching over the Valley of Ashes and Daisy Buchanan. For more information, see: Celestial Eyes The Great Gatsby   The image of Lyssa Drak watching over The Book of the Black in DC Universe Online's Raging Night episode looks striking similar to Celestial Eyes, especially since Lyssa has bluish skin and yellow eyes. One has to wonder if it was inspired by it. Here's a version I merged with Gotham Amusement Mile so that it looks similar to Coney Island at the bottom of the original...

2-Row Ability Tray Recommendations

You will also want to think and anticipate future releases. In this article, I will analyze my 3 accounts and why I made the choice for each one as they are not exactly the same. RE: Shaded Comic Shaded Comic is the only reward choice that does not affect progression in the game. It is purely cosmetic but ultra rare. Based on RNG it is also the only one above $100 value. I favor progression and I will be weighing out factors related to progression and strengthening the characters on each account. For this reason, none of my accounts will choose this option. Additionally, Shaded Comic is a very nice material, but it has 1 imperfection that bothers me... there is no skin to match it. The material gives the character a pseudo cel-shaded texture, but it doesn't look right on the style of skin. It...
