  • the blue dragon

    I spend a great deal of my life looking for my keys.

    I get in a habit where I put them in the same place, and it works, and then I change purses, or coats, or habits, and tada we are all looking for mommys keys again.

    And then last month Rob had a major scare over his keys at the prison.

    So I made a story about the blue dragon that stole keys.  And only the little boy could see them.  It was a instant classic in this house.  I haven't actually written the story down, but have full intentions of doing so. 

    Any how, this week I finally mastered the art of playing with bezier curves and vectors on psp.  And then decided that I needed to attempt to create my little blue dragon. 

    This is all mine.  I looked at many different pictures to get lengths/and perportion, but he's MINE.  LOL 

    I've also learned how to make my own textures and patterns, so created my own scales from this little critter.  Usually when I do a graphic something is 'borrowed"  but this one's 100% mine, and I am thrilled with the way it turned out.

    He's supposed to look somewhat friendly, and a lot like a stuffy.  Usually when I share I don't care about c/write, but there's a chance I might actually attempt to get this story published when I'm done with it.  So I did a rather obvious watermark on him to share here just in case.

    You can still get a good idea of how he looks.  Enjoy.

    The chicken story was a riot.  Thanks for sharing it.

  • Nice story! I just lost my keys yesterday (then found them just in time) I like your description of your blog -- it spoke to me. I just started mine for the same reason -- a safe place to talk about things close to my heart. Looking forward to getting to know you!
