Don't do that its bad for you

Wow... I look pissed.

I don't normally do 'vent' art because usually when I'm stressed, its hard for me to be creative.

Actually, I've been in a pretty good mood tonight and found preciously rare free time to do art, though the last week has been pretty stressful.

The only time I was actually tempted enough to 'feel the need to smoke' was about 3 years ago, after a very frustrating day at work.

This is supposed to be my other alter ego 'Iris' the brindle basenji:

Usually when i draw her in a more up beat or broody mood, so this is very unusual. I wanted to try my hand at rendering human facial expressions on a more realistic looking animal head. Also, I wanted to update the hair, since she is supposed to represent me, and my style has changed to dreads, but I felt like if I added hair to this, it would cover all those expressive wrinkles.

This is probably the first anthro creature I've done in over a year

Again, just for the record, I don't smoke, have never smoked, have no intention of smoking, nor do I advocate smoking.

Iris, hair or no hair (c) me
