It was almost 50ºF here today... When it's been in the teens and twenties for the past week... Which means that the snow is melting. What's left of the icicles is dripping steadily downward. And it really feels like the beginning of spring (which is annoying, because we only got a full blast of winter last week).

Otherwise I've been drawing all day – not my AC13 entry, which I really ought to be working on, but instead a portrait of Hahli. (Matoran form, of course.) A landscape portrait, if that would be the term, with her sitting on a beach, framed by palm trees, looking out onto the scene from the inside of a forest.

It actually complements another landscape portrait I've had in the works for a while, one of Toa Shenyu... Not by design, but by coincidence. Interesting that the two are my favorite characters (Hahli for official storyline, Shenyu for my own), and also happen to be a couple...

Of course, I'm going to need a lot of practice CGing plant life before I can color either one of them...
