Tesla got a makeover! But I guess only I see all the differences... But trust me, there are LOTS.

So... *clears throat*

As a musical instrument, the 4/92 Seesharp Organ is renowned for its unique "alive" sound, and its versatility, both of which are impossible to achieve on other organs simply because they are not sentient. Not many have played this magnificent neo-baroque style instrument, but those who has says - with mixed feelings - that it was truly a different experience.

The organ was installed in the St Helios Cathedral in the city of Gandvik a little over ten years ago (although the organ itself is older than that), and has gone through numerous restorations since then because of damages caused by its much too reckless lifestyle.

As an individual, however, Tesla Seesharp is probably most known of as the author of the bestselling Journey to the Center of the Universe book series. Tesla has been suffering from writer's block during the last two years, and the final part in the Journey series has yet to be written.

Two years ago, Tesla was engaged to an organess called Saskia Neverwinter, and the two was intending to marry. Their plans were destroyed dramaticly the night before their wedding day when Saskia, along with the church she lived in, was struck by a lightning bolt. She died shortly after this from the injuries she suffered. After this tragic event, Tesla could not deal with his sorrow and chose to drown it in wine instead, and he today still refuses to remove his engagement ring.

Tesla used to be quite friendly, but these days he prefers to isolate himself at his cathedral, yelling madly at anyone who dares to enter. The church has been forced to close the cathedral since Tesla started to mess up everything that took place there, especially weddings, and could not be reasoned with simply because he was always in some state of intoxication.

Tesla is - apart from a famous sci-fi author - also a talented painter and composer. He plays both by himself and a number of other instruments with unmatched skill and before Saskia's death, he often invited people to free concerts simply because pipe organs like to play for people. (Those concerts were rather popular. Hearing a sentient pipe organ play, people say, is a fantastic experience, not only because of the unique sound but also because the musician - the organ itself - does not have the limitations of a human and can play compositions that if they were to be played by humans would have required at least seven hands and four feet.)

Lately however, Tesla has been completely abandoning his art, to the benefit of the local brewery...

About this picture: Ah, finally. I always felt that Tesla needed a makeover Despite the similarity to the previous picture , this one is actually re-done from sketch. New lineart and everything. ^^ I wanted to take the wine bottle out of his hand for this drawing, but now when there were no bottles in the picture it seemed a bit... not Tesla So after the rest of the picture was done, I added a barrel of mulled wine in the corner. Oh, and if you make a comment, please add a $ somewhere in the comment to show that you actually read all this
