Special Birthday Edition

January held a couple birthdays of people I care about, and, as is normal among us types what draw stuff, I drew them presents. 

First was my friend Abby, with whom I have a long-running joke about how cats love ham. I promised her a shirt. I delivered. 

(And as soon as I get a photo of her wearing it, I will post the image and the photo.)

Second was my mom. 

For years she has had a soft spot for this drawing that I did years ago, when I was just finding my feet in digital art. This picture has anatomical problems and artistic problems and all kinds of other problems, but mom really really likes it. And keeps showing it to people. 

So I made her a new one. 

(I may make a progress post with all the steps, or I might even make an animated progress GIF, but for here, just the picture.) 

It has plenty of problems of it's own, and I got kind of experimental with things like cleaning up the edges. I'll probably hate it within 4 days at the most. But hopefully SHE will like it. 

Maybe more than the shoddy thing she keeps showing around. *crosses fingers*
