Anthro-izing
Some years ago I did up an icon/avatar for my wife, basing it on her Chinese Zodiac sign - the Tiger. I'd also meant to do one for paxnirvana as well, but I never felt I could do any sort of justice to a feminine version of her Chinese Zodiac sign - the Dragon.
Well, recently, after literally months of not so much picking up a pencil with any sort of creative impulse, the dry-spell broke. Last week I started sketching all sorts of things and even tried my hand at my first pen & ink piece in over 3-years. It's all been a bit stiff and creaky, but - much to my surprise - I've been enjoying myself while I've been doing it! (Go figure...) And in all of this outpouring I've found myself fiddling with images of a fairly cute lady dragon.
I'm still working around the details, getting to know the looks of this new creature (including a recent change of skin color, from orange/red to purple), but I think she's coming along nicely.
Just a quickie sketch that I colored in PhotoShop.
More soon!
