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!
