The Realms of a Fantastical Mind

In October I took a full month off from doing what I love to do best.  Yes, I took off writing. Have you ever felt that you need to do something over and over again?  Have you felt the need to continue to do something because you've always done it? Try taking a break from that thing that you feel you NEED to do.  I know, it may be impossibly hard, but then, nothing is truly impossible.  So whether it be drinking beer, writing on your blog, or even writing. (I know, it’s a difficult concept, to not write, but bear with me.) I have to say that I did just that in October.  The stopping drinking the beer happened in my house too.  One thing I found out.  Not only did my hubby find out he doesn't need to drink beer, I found out I didn't need to write high fantasy all the time.  It was hard not writing at all, but instead of focusing on what I've been working on, my mind took different twists and turns...

I've been playing around with my secondary character, Una. She's been tapping on my brain to come out and I can not draw to save my life.  I did try, it wasn't pretty.  So I bought some modeling clay and got to work.  I may do another try, to see if I can get her arms and legs to come out better.   The arms are covered by her robes and her feet... yeah they suck.  At least you can't see how bad the legs came out.   Anyway, here she is.   The face came out better than what I expected, but with some practice I may be able to get out more detail, like her scales and the fact that her ridges on the top of her head have a plume of feathers coming out.  Not to mention she needs to be Purple and the robe red.  Over all I'm happy with her.     Here's a little nerd info for you.  I pictured in my mind what a dragon looked like if crossed with a cloner (Kamino) from Star Wars.  Yup, something like that.
