Pencil and cheap sketchpad full-body attempt at another female New Caledonian Crested Gecko. Hardest part: Drawing lidless eyes while trying to avoid the glassy, pie-eyed drooling zombiegirl look. Favorite part: Drawing the sticky hands.

Oh well.

"Why, she looks completely different now!"
That's the really great part about having complete creative control over your own frighteningly disturbed, hideously malformed brainchildren. I like this incarnation better... More "ponyish" character, and less agonizingly tedious spots to (remember to) draw. Just trying not to beat myself about the head and shoulders for the anatomy here. Opinions?

Kitty-face. Technically, it's no particular cheetah, done with chalk on some construction paper I found on a shelf.
