Description Do you ever think to have imaginary grandfather?

Most of children have their own imaginary friends, but unlike me, I'm need more than that...You see, my grandparents passed away before I born...so I wish that my grandfather can tell my stories everyday, like all grandfathers did for their grandchildren...

This drawing based from my old sketch when I was in primary school, then I redraw it again...I hope my imaginary grandfather do really exist...like all kid want their own imaginary friends...if only we didn't forget our childhood...

This is so sweet... I understand about needing imaginary friends as family members sometimes. This has always been one of my favorite pictures of yours--I remember seeing your gallery many years before I actually got the courage to join DA. Your artwork is so cuddly and lovely, and always inspires me.

I can relate to this. My grandfather died of cancer when my dad was only a teenager. I like to think about what a grandfather is supposed to be, wishing for those same stories.

That's so touching. I was fortunate enough to know my grandparents a long time. They taught me so much about life, what's really important and how to deal with problems we face in life. I would love to listen to their stories. I miss them very much.

Cute one Pokelai! :3

When I was little I didn't have an imaginary friend. I had an imaginary army of furries the size of erasers that would live in the garden, in the grass, and in the trees.

I totally agree with what you said about not forgetting your childhood. This picture is very nice, and it depicts your point well. I was hoping you'd draw a fat dragon soon; I was afraid you gave up on them! But, your puppy picture was nice, as well.
