Experiment No. K-9

Wow. I am really bad at this blogging thing sometimes.
*facepalm*

Even with school, however, I'm still finding time to draw! I've been working more on just quick sketches, random drawings, originals, et cetera. (So nothing really "blog-worthy".) Finally I drew something I can be proud to share! *claps*
However, it needs a bit of explaining...

Note: This will make more sense to those who have read Maximum Ride.

Okay, the explanation:
This (unfortunate) boy is a mix of wolf, bird, and human. His name is KIX (named so because of the tattoo on the inside of his arm K-IX; IX being the Roman numeral nine). He received the ears, tail, and wings from The School--an illegal scientific research organization, and also the main antagonists in the MR series.

He is probably about three to four in my drawing, (or your best guess... *shrugs*), and very sad. :( Wouldn't you if you were a scientific experiment?

I cannot claim the "rights" to him though, he is the OC (original character) of another talented writer, of whom I do not know her actual name. She wrote a fanfiction for Maximum Ride titled "The Wings of Wrath". Her writing was very beautiful, but the things I best liked about it were her OCs. I almost can't believe they're not in the actual series! And since I'm into drawing animal/human characters lately, from the moment of KIX's introduction I wanted to draw him. There are other characters and scenes I want to draw from that story, but I'm not promising anything yet.

Originally, it was going to be a more comic/manga style...but as usual I got a bit carried away... ;) Anyway, hope you like it!

Let the Little Children come...

"But Jesus said, 'Let the children come to me. Don't stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children.'" 
Matthew 19:14

Hello dear friends!
I thought I should probably let you know I'm still alive... ;) but because of school and such, this is going to be very short.

I sketched this little friend of mine at church last week. It was amazing--she actually sat (relatively) still for, like, three minutes! O_O Lol. Little kids are so cute!

Adios amigos.
