It’s a Snailfish! I love animals, all animals really and often find even the smallest and slimiest cute. Like this snailfish here. I never heard of this before tonight and right now I am in love with this little guy. They should make a cartoon show about him, I would watch it.
Tonight I decided to play a bit with drawing on my iPad. I downloaded a new program and seem to like it a lot. I still haven’t found if I can select items but it was a lot of fun playing around.
I’m also posting this from my iPad so the formatting might be a touch off
Today is Thankful Thursday, and it’s Art Month so I give you Lael, done in Pop Art. I really like how her eyes came out.
Lael is one of the people that I met through my roleplaying group online (star trek) and one of the first online friends of mine to become a real life friend. She and I often refer to one another as Sis (as if I don’t have enough sisters) because we are twins… from different mothers. Our interests tend to be the same and are often going through similar things in our lives at the same time. We joke that one of us is the good twin and the other is the evil twin, of course we never agree on who is the evil twin.
Lael has an Amazing voice and I have few songs of hers in my MP3 collection, but not nearly as many as I’d like (hint hint, record more). She has provided back up vocals for a couple of different projects. She’s an amazing writer who ran a writing challenge group I was a part of years ago. She loves Buffy and Star Trek (especially sexy nosed Bajorans) and Dr Who and many other geek things. I have many memories of yaking on the phone with her for hours. Having Lael at my wedding was very important to me and I was so grateful. In the two trips she’s made to NY she was able to hang with my family and belong. Without Lael I wouldn’t have had support through some pretty trying times in my life, I’m thankful to always have someone in my life that loves me how she loves me. I will always love her and keep her close in my heart.
Good hygiene is important, even for little dragons. You want to keep those chompers white and sharp.
I think this will eventually become a water color, I really like how it came out and I’m often drawing Rory from the side but I really like how this from the front angle came out. I think the fur took the longest.
You will notice his pins, one if for the podcast SciFi Dig, one if a Casey’s Cadet’s badge that he got from Christianna Ellis at I think our first Balticon and the third doesn’t actually exist (yet) it’s a Flash Pulp pin, he needs one of those. For now we have stickers.
Eyes are always fun to draw (and yes I know that’s a warning sign for schizophrenia, my answer to that is, my mother had be tested, sorta) and for some reason I like drawing them with something different. I like cyber eyes from the shadowrun world, but tonight I drew something for my table top game (steampunk shadowrun) Victoriana. I think I could add to this and build upon it. Also, I’m trying to not think about this steam eye being adjusted.
