Description It's snowing tonight and all I have is a sweatshirt.

After drawing ridiculous amounts of lineart week after week after week , I had an intense desire to do something more painterly. Ya know, to focus on values and light instead of lines and shapes. So I did this speedpainting over the course of about 24 hours.

(Photoshop CS3)

Well, since the lion in this drawing is a comforting presence, and Aslan represents God in the CS Lewis books, maybe in a way it is.

Your ability to invent symbolism and show emotion amazes me.
Wonderful painting. The look in Moth's eyes...

Cummon.... you can't tell me you didn't miss the snow. You should be happy it's back. snuggle up in your blankets with a cup of cocoa and watch your favorite movie. You'll learn to love it again.
P.S. If you have a working funace, you're better off than I am....

lol I was definitely snuggling up in a blanket and a beanie last night. It was very...nostalgic. And I did rather enjoy the benefits of our working furnace.

*gasp* Ya know, it does look like you. I was originally thinking me, but I made the hair longer than mine really is and now it does indeed look like you. It's the embodiment of the both of us. O.o

Woot! But who is this mysterious lion? Moth has no hairy hair hairs all about her! Or...does she....DUN DUN DUNNN!

moth-eatn In reply to FranticDant [2007-10-19 01:12:01 +0000 UTC]

It's Moth. And she doesn't have a mane. It might be a little confusing since it's a close-up, but the hair around her face is from her ears and neck.

lol Oh really? I don't know if you could call me a "party girl" but I do rather like....well, being social. My friends make me happy, so I spend as much time with them as I can.

...Reminds me of giant Aslan. Well, that's not true, since anything with a lion reminds me of Aslan.

moth-eatn In reply to Yargamal [2007-10-18 18:07:01 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, it only snowed for a few minutes and it didn't stick. There is definitely plenty on the mountains though.
