"Unthought-of Frailties cheat us in the Wise."
~ Alexander Pope, Moral Essays (1731-35), Epistle To Temple, line 69.
I really had to ponder this quote and figure out how to illustrate it. A spider came to mind...so tiny and fragile in comparison yet invokes so much fear. Then considered a daddy long leg.
In my grand quest for a easy to draw and color new style but I have no time to sketch for this, I present you: Inktober 2018's tanuki! fav.me/dcp5uhz
Behold.
I'm still a fan of his tiny stick like paw under the belly XD

Dans ma grande recherche de style facile et rapide à dessiner que j’ai pas le temps de faire un nouveau croquis pour ça, je vous apporte: Le tanuki d’inktober 2018.
Tadam.
Je suis toujours aussi fanne de ses papattes toutes maigres par rapport au reste XD
I bought a small succulent statue a few months ago that I've managed to keep alive and thought it needed more personality. Thus, Ned was "born". Hoping to draw more of his plant man adventures.
Revenge is a dish best served cold. Think of those old kung fu movies with a strange comic twist in style, not scenario. Handpainted with a brush only, no pens!
A snapshot of a work in progress. Potential poster art? What do you think? Coffee wash background, spitshaded black and grey... Still more work to be done! Thanks for looking. :)
It's ok to not make sense. It's ok to not follow a pattern. It's ok to be the odd one out.
Life is too beautiful, too amazing, to eccentric, too weird to fit inside someone else's tiny little box of an opinion about you. Break free out of that and live your life on your terms.
dear little universe ///
even just a tiny bit / and you / open up. /
peer out into the nightless
sky /
feel the stars, that /
“you, dear little universe” /
are always coursing /
through
your
veins.

Not a terribly good piece, but I had fun drawing it. It is a take on the Spirit of '76, originally painted by Archibald Willard. I did it upon request, but I did not charge anything. I think it would have been better in color.
