Today I got to go on one of our runs to more rural shelters to help relieve overcrowding there. We ended up bringing back 21 kittens and 10 dogs. So fun day. But this morning, while I was getting stuff together in preparation for the 90 minute drive…. This happened.
Excuse you Tiniest Opossum, but you are NOT allowed to escape through the front bars of the cat carrier we were housing you in. I’m going to put you back.
“NO!”
I am going to catch you and put you back and you have no say in this matter.
“NO!”
Catching you and putting you back now.
“NOOOOOO!”
Aaaand back you go. Let go of the purple towel and go in the cardboard box.
“Noooooooooooo!”
I admit, I am in love with this tiny possum. Finding it in the hallway like that nearly caused me to die from adorableness and ridiculousness. I mean… it’s half the size of an adult syrian hamster and growling so fiercely that it was vibrating.
Another inspired by the book BLACK UNICORN by
Tanith Lee. Tanaquil feigns being a noble and rides as a special friend
of Princess Lizra during a parade.
This was more of gratuitous
shot – not as story-relevant as others – but I had such a strong sense
of mood and atmosphere when I first envisioned this that insisted on
doing it.
This project is essentially what I’ve been buried in for the past 5 months! I still can hardly believe I’ve finished it.
Interesting fact that probably everyone knew: computer “paint” and “light” are truly their own art form. I had to print this out and noticed strongly for the first time how much you have to manipulate color and light settings for print in order to replicate that some glow/light effect. The glow of your screen just doesn’t print~
