Description Now for something completely different. This is my friend 's character, Saint Cobra. Ha ha, I can't quite remember his origin story at the moment, but maybe she had a dream about him? And then I thought the idea of a cobra who was a saint was pretty funny (if completely ridiculous), so we kept joking about him. Saint Cobra preserve us!

I don't have a lot of practice drawing snakes, and I can see all kinds of things I should have done differently, but this was just a fun sketch that I colored. Oh, he's not based on any particular type of cobra. I just wanted him to be green.

HAHAHA OH HOW BLESSED SURPRISE!

Saint Cobra did indeed appear to me in a dream! But this icon truly raises him to a legitimately Holy level! His expression of reflective adoration is outshone only by his GLEAMING HALO.
Oh, Saint Cobra, how your coils shimmer with a holy light!

Haha, how is it you always know just what to do to cheer me? Could it be you are full of the spirit of Saint Cobra? And little pink flowers?
You need a little golden halo of your own.

Ha ha ha, I kept threatening to draw Saint Cobra! And lo, it has come to pass.

I thought he appeared to you in a dream! Well, that's just more proof of his holiness. Appearing in visions is all a part of a saint's job.

His fangs are truth, and his venom is love! He preserves us from harm and protects us from evil!

Of course, I couldn't resist adding in the pink flower. I am so glad you like this devotional art. I tried my best to do his saintliness justice.

Snakes are definitely pretty. Ha ha, but yes, cobras are definitely pretty dangerous. Not Saint Cobra, though.

I think that's a pretty good snake, myself. My boyfriend has a Murry-Darling python, and you got all the curves and the way he's holding his head up looking right. I can't comment much on the head (not a cobra expert ) but I think he looks very snakey.

Oh, thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you think I got the snakeyness down. I really like snakes, but I haven't drawn any of them in a while, so I feel rusty. I always wanted one of my own when I was little! Aww, pythons are adorable.

Awww <3 I would follow this religion, if I hadn't known that Jenni made it up. I think it would involve a lot of basking.

foxysquid In reply to shingworks [2008-10-26 02:28:18 +0000 UTC]

Why thank you! Ha ha, it's still a good religion to follow. Maybe she didn't make it up, maybe it was a vision, sent by Saint Cobra himself!

Mmm, lots of basking does sound pretty nice.

jenni0 In reply to foxysquid [2008-10-26 18:02:19 +0000 UTC]

Oh, it WAS a vision! Saint Cobra gave me holy knowledge, but it is not yet time to reveal it.
Sorry, Tennessee!

But yes, there will be basking. ;3

foxysquid In reply to jenni0 [2008-10-26 18:18:15 +0000 UTC]

We'll bask like little serpents in the warmth of god's love!

Okay, now I just sound crazy. But--I have faith in Saint Cobra, so who cares?

Hmm, I don't know if he is a martyr. She'll have to figure out his saintly history!
