Illustration Friday - Early

Appropriately enough, I'm getting this one in early. Well, early for me. Frankly, posting one of these any sooner than Thursday around 11pm is early for me. Unfortunately, I don't seem to have any black ink on hand, so rather than risking butchering the drawing with a mixed black or with pen, I've temporarily added the blacks using Photoshop. I'll do it properly when I buy some black.

I'm still kicking myself for last week's adventure. I poured everything I could into Fearless, pushed dinner back to 11, was just about to post it to Illustration Friday... and then realized that somehow I had gotten the weeks mixed up, missed the deadline for Fearless, and finished Fearless just in time to meet the deadline for Equipment. Sadly, there was no equipment in my fearless drawing, so I just posted it to my blog and sat on my hands... I'm still glad I made it, though, because it's a million times better than any equipment drawing I could have done. And I did it in tribute to my little lion, and you know everything I do for him is a labor of love. Even when it involves getting up at four in the morning because he's decided he needs wet food immediately.

  1. That's awesome. I love people with animal heads, or animals with people bodies!

  2. This is a wonderful integration of an animal head and human body! Did you know that an animal/human combination is called a "therianthrope?" (One of my favorite words...hope I got the spelling right!) Great job!

  3. Thank you both! I'm a big fan of animal/human hybrids, myself, so it's fun to finally be giving it a go.
