Reptile

     I think I've outdone myself with this picture. My boyfriend was happy when the scan got down to the hips and there were no genitals there. I said "Uhhh... I could draw something there." and he replied with a nervous laugh. Today just happened to be one of those days when I drew with a purpose. I laid out this lanky-looking reptilian figure with a very confident pose. I've noticed lately that I have a knack for drawing figures that have attitude and swagger. I made it have sort of an anthro-like body. He seems to be exuding a devil-may-care attitude that is just amazing to witness. The feet were cut out of this picture, and I'm sort of glad, because I didn't really like them anyhow.

Warrior

     I honestly have to say that I have been improving a lot on my free-hand sketching. At this time a month ago, I would have sat down with my notebook and drawn something way less than impressive. Now, I can sit down with a loose idea of a drawing, and come up with something beautiful in less than an hour. I am very, very proud of myself. This character is a warrior - reminiscent of a Greek or Roman gladiator. I would have liked to put a canine at his side, but I'm not quite ready to move on to more complicated pictures yet. I decided that I want to put a name to the face, so I am giving him the name Thebias (Thee Bee Us). He's very fierce-looking, and I am very pleased. He has some sort of fancy buckler on one hand because for some reason I don't like to draw both hands. The sword is a short sword - easy for quick striking, but can still keep the enemy at a distance.

Mother's Arms

     Well, it's been about a month since I started this blog. I feel that perhaps those that read are starting to get a feel of who I am and what I stand for. I really cannot wait to be a mother in the future. It is just something that I have been looking forward to in my life. I love children. There's just something about the simple joy they find in the smallest of things that warms your heart. This design sort of captures the essence of the warmth and comfort in a mother's arms. It has sort of an Asian feel to it and I feel that it could also make a good tattoo. In case anyone was wondering, the swirls are supposed to suggest that she's wearing a dress.
