The Torch of Liberty

I’ve forgotten what I was making this for, other than that it was meant to be the torch that the Statue of Liberty holds. Whatever the project was, I never finished it.

I ended up reusing the torch in the cover image for Illustrious Castle as well as for an April Fool’s article on the Secular Humanist pantheon.

This is not a new idea; this is the idea of the age of reason. This is the philosophy that guided the men that made the democracy that we live under. The idea that no one really knew how to run a government led to the idea that we should arrange a system by which new ideas could be developed, tried out, and tossed out if necessary, with more new ideas brought in—a trial and error system. — Richard Feynman (What Do You Care What Other People Think?)
