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.

@CactuarJoe good job cactus

@CactuarJoe looking good so far!

Painting, Day 76: After forging a path through the right shoulder and arm, we began our descent into the lower torso. We lost good men coming around the scapula, men we cannot replace. But the queen is relying on us to forge a path in these godforsaken wildernesses, and so we must press on. May the lord watch over us as we attempt to paint a goddamn fucking knee.
