Koi Dragon

The koi fish evolving to a dragon.

From Answers.com:

The koi fish in Japanese folklore represents the overcoming of obstacles, because the koi fish travels up the yellow river and when it comes to the end of the river it transforms into the dragon; thus overcoming the adversity represented by the strong river to fufill its own destiny.
The Koi is the symbol of strength and will, the will to go against odds to reach the destiny. And the Dragon is the power and ferocity. The mystery and Aura.

WK9- Evolution

My submission for the idea of 'Evolution', which I interpreted as the change of something over time and chose to show a progression of myself from a little girl to who I am now. I quickly gave it flat colors so it was more than just a simple sketch.

Evolving! Sort of...ish.

Not exactly so much critter-esque evolution. More of a thing/stuff evolution. Probably a bit off-point and/or a mild blend of other voting selections from last week. But a doodle nonetheless.

Happy doodle'n!

I love bunnies so I thought I would try one.... from krispy treats...

Above is my work in progress...

Here is the final piece.

My furry friend has been captured for stealing celery from a garden : )

(As you can see I had to modify the ears (the krispy treat ones were very tasty)

A Carrot's Nightmare

So I know that it's not entirely made of food, but it's what my mind first jumped to when I learned this weeks challenge... I'm not sure what that says about me though, hahaha.

And yes, that is a Zefron poster on the wall. I promised my Maya Springboard classmate Jay Fontano that I would put one in some future assignment, so this will have to do for now.

Captain Caveman

One of my all time favorites!

Prehistoric

I've been looking for an excuse to say this all week. I apologize.

Prehistoric Pizza and a Movie

I don't know why, but the thought of a pterodactyl delivering pizza has always really amused me...
