...Really?

No no, your eyes are not deceiving you. I am indeed ALIVE.

My boyfriend and my neighbor's band 7 Stories High have commissioned me for their first album cover. Brock was scanning through some of my really old sketches and saw a concept piece similar to this, only with a simple panda leaning forward for a stalk of bamboo and failing to reach it. The panda was also saying "damn."

I redrew it and the guys, being as awesomely strange as they are, suggested the stalk be on fire. They later agreed there needed to be a visible cause for the ignition, so they suggested a lightning bolt. Also, to keep things on the clean side for the public, we changed "damn" to "...really?" Finally, they had me put the arms down (this time I actually charged them money), but for regular uploading purposes, I've left them up. On the actual cover they will be down, but I like them up, so I've kept it so on the showcased piece.

So YAY! Something finally finished from me!
