I'm doing a painting for my niece's first birthday, and her mom requested a dragon.
-
When my little sister was young she had nightmares, so I drew her a dragon to protect her in her sleep, that's why she asked for a dragon for the munchkin. Gotta design a cheeky little protector for my niece
The trick is designing a dragon that'll be non-threatening and fun to a two-year-old, but cool enough for a fast-growing kid at six. I figure I'm gonna have to do a second total redesign somewhere between 10-13 anyway when the munchkin inevitably hits the Edgy Teens, so I also have to leave myself room to evolve the critter into something *painfully* overdesigned
Seriously though, it's a surprisingly complex design challenge. It's fun

The thing about art is that it's hard to get started, but once I do I'm fine. Aaaaand then it's equally hard to get me to stop.
Something something theory of artistic momentum

Got a little progress today, but I think I gotta put it down for today. I don't feel like I have it today, and it's usually a bad idea to try and push through that if you don't have to.
