I have this obsession...

...with drawing Thunder as realistically as possible.

This is the closest I got so far. D8 I was pretty happy with this one actually, but I'll probably redraw it AGAIN cause that's what I always do. Seriously, drawing and redrawing Thunder realistically over and over again is all I've freakkin been doing since Grade 12. And I still can't get it right!! ><

Anyways, this was drawn awhile ago but I figured I'd show it today since it happens to be his Birthday (as well as my Grandpappy's! Happy Birthday Grandpa! 8D ), which would make him 9 years old. WEIRD.

Oh, and I finished a book cover for the novel I wrote in NaNoWriMo. I'm actually really shocked at how well it came out. I mean, REALLY shocked. It's been an on and off working process since September, and honestly it looked hideous until I actually finished it.

Considering that I was using the crap ass program of Photoshop Elements to do this, I'm quite pleased.
The secret to its success is awesome textures. I got some free grungy paper textures off the net (forgot the website though...) and then used a few photos of my own to give it a special edge.
God I love textures.
