Beast of Contemplation

Description

And here we have the resplendant Beast of Contemplation.

Why is he resplendant? Because I enjoy saying the word.

Resplendant. Isn't that lovely? Yes, yes it is.

So basically I was super pissed at myself for screwing up yet ANOTHER drawing....which whenever I decide to take another stab at it I'll be on attempt number three for that picture...ahem..anyways.

So I've learned that whenever I am sucking at drawing I should just draw something for the hell of it, whatever comes out of my pen--let it come, I won't protest. And usually I do a sketchy black and white ink drawing. No pencils, no fuss, no worrying about screwing things up. And boy does it work wonders! :D

Now, obviously, there are tons wrong with the anatomy here. And I don't give a shit, really, so you can laugh at the mistakes to yourself. The fact is, I DREW, dammit.

It's totally different than what I originally thought this guy would look like, since I wanted to come up with something original--not the typical clawed lion body structure thing we have here. But I started with the head, and I gave it too big an eye for what I was doing, cause I started with a dumb line in the middle of the picture and decided it should be an eye. And then we got this weird combustion pipe skull thing of a head. And I like it :D Reminds me of a mosquito.

Why is it off center, you ask? because I just drew the damn thing. I could have photo-edited it into the center, but that would have defeated the purpose.

Why is it the Beast of Contemplation? Well, it needed a name, that's why. Or a title, actually. So I annointed this critter the "Beast of Contemplation" because that's exactly what I've been doing lately--contemplating! Contemplating what, you ask? Use your imagination, that's what I did here. Har har. cheese-takular.

Those funky letters were such a bitch to do. And I really need to get a latin-english dictionary so I can give this mofo a binomial nomenclature. *shakes fist*

Oh and I used my brand new felt-tip pens that my friend Erin gave me for christmas. Yippee!

You could call it Acurem tangere. It's a latin phrase that fully means "to hit the nail on the head". But there's a little space between Acu and Rem in the origanal.

Acu is needle, though I was originaly going for needle head. This just works so much better. And dude, 'acu pingere' means to embroider.
