Illustration Friday: Sugary

Gosh! My previous illo for IF was in June!
Its time I picked it up again, here's my take on this week's theme.

When I was much much younger, we had a young pup who absolutely loved all matters sugary. No amount of chasing or chiding would turn her away, she'd sit under our chairs just lickity-licking (cleaning) up our mess of crumbs or drips of cookies, ice creams or chocs we'd try hard not to drop. (grin* kids can't help being messy eaters :P ) She'd follow us around waiting for a treat.

Even though its not healthy for the chumps, its hard not to give in to those puppy dog eyes so we loved sneaking her a chomp or two!

O HAI!

I is takes theese kitteh piccies today.
R not easys, lol cat humurs!!! :P



























































chuckles* Teh capshuns r harders den i tots, shall leaves it to the profeshiunnals. LOLS!

Illustration Friday: Hoarding

This topic for this week's IF is hoarding & I thought it would be perfect to illustrate my little secret (well, not so secret anymore) obsession-passion for daruma or dharma dolls.
I itch to buy mostly any I come across!

Darumas represent the ever growing list of harder goals I wish to accomplish during my stay on Planet Earth! It also seems like I've been hoarding this list for quite some time.

Oddly, I find them absolutely adorable! Round roly poly dolls that hardly get knocked down. A little note on darumas for the unacquainted: they are little Japanese dolls used for wishing. Fill in one eye (usually the left) whilst thinking of your wish. You are then, only supposed to fill in the other eye once the wish has come true!

Wiki has it that the daruma has become symbolic for optimism, persistence, and strong determination! (This is probably due to their "low centers of gravity, some types of daruma doll return to the upright position after being tilted to one side".)

I have quite "a few" under my wing however since Daruma dolls are only supposed to be used one at a time, I have to wait till I can colour in all their other right eyes! :D

NOTE: For illustration purposes, I coloured all their left eyes in so that they wouldn't seem so "blind", I would not do so to my precious darumas in real life! chuckle* They should be used wisely, in the correct manner of course!


EXTRAS:
Interested in getting a daruma but don't really have the space for one? Here's links for anyone interested in Daruma Wallpaper! No physical space needed! Let him inspire you everytime you switch on your PC!

Click here to download the one eye-d Daruma (make your wish whilst downloading your selected wallpaper size) & for a Daruma with both eyes coloured in! (once your wish has been achieved)
[Note: Scroll to the centre of the wallpaper list, daruma wallpapers are there!]

Illustration Friday: Forgotten

:D I believe this is self-explanatory! I have Ivan to thank for the origin of this little nugget of an idea> imagine yourself walking in on the forgotten belongings of the previous toilet user! shudder*

We were talking (rambling) about this week's IF theme when *pop* out it came! Decided to use animal office workers as a funnier way to illustrate the awkwardness of the situation :P chuckle*

Its not the first time Mr. Hippo left his fresh pile where
someone else could chance upon it!

Illustration Friday: Worry

My first submission to Illustration Friday! Their topic of the week is Worry.
After many, many, many months of admiring everyone's amazing illos, I have decided to wing it & submit one of my own :D I had a swell time illustrating it!

Poor Mr. Olly! Ringmaster has promised Olly his weight in peanuts if he is careful enough not to squish the mice during the show!
