It's been quite a while since I've worked in ballpoint pen. Used to be one of my few mediums of choice before college. Nice to return to when you're passing time for a few hours between destinations.

So these are studies I did in my Moleskine of my beloved pallanoph character, Neng. He can be found here [link] in the top right hand corner, and also here: [link] He has evolved some in terms of design, I think it's mostly in settling how I want pallanophs in general to be proportioned. Their skulls are becoming larger (FINALLY) and their legs are a little better proportioned. In this case, Neng is intended to have the long legs, as, being of the Southeast Asian strain ( [link] ) he needs to wade into water for his meals. (He does some fishing. )

So you notice he has scars... he received them when he was very young... He was 10, (think an 8 year old human child, more or less) when he was messing about away from home and came across an ill tempered, half blind, crippled female pallanoph who somehow managed to interpret him as a threat and gave him these brutal souvenirs. In this same bloody attack, he was also, more or less, sterilized. Hence his overall appearance: A more female type crest that lays mostly flat, thin ear tassels, and slender build. However, despite this trauma, Neng retains a lovable, quiet personality. He smiles rather frequently, despite the pains the scars cause him as a result, but one should take care were they to meet him. Sudden movements and sounds set him off, and he can react aggressively.

I could say a lot more on his character, but this comment is overlong already.

Comment away! Critiques, questions, etc. are always welcome.
