today’s doodle…
Just a quick doodle tonight… perhaps inspired by Chinese New Year – although I wasn’t consciously thinking about it, just doodling!It’s fun to make pretty pictures – no other raison d’être is required!
UPDATE: New sonnet from Tom!
Contemplative downcast eyes
consider now the future’s course
as the watchers of the skies
look up to see the lunar source
of light return to bless the Earth
while fireworks and cries of mirth
greet the Water Dragon’s year
of wealth and health both far and near.
Her inward gaze now gathers strength
at this auspicious turning point
when Fortune will her goal anoint
with success for life’s full length.
As the sliver-Moon arises
She sets her sights on life’s surprises.

That lady has a lot of charisma. I hope you make her a recurring character in an upcoming comic!

I’m not sure what she’s planning but I think she’ll succeed at it! (Slightly rushed on this one… getting sucked into robots although manfully resisting…)

Don’t let those robots get you!!
