Rolled an 8 so I worked on a few things to put on shirts (or other things) and sell. Mostly just making the art haven't actually shoveled them onto any products for sale yet. : /

Still today I worked mainly on a SHIRT BABY!

So my boyfriend was putting his laundry away and complaining about the amount of shirts that he has at the moment. One of his comments was an interesting notion where he accused his shirts of reproducing. I thought that was funny and so today I took two of his shirts at random and I am mixing them together in some way or another. Should turn out fairly interesting.

The quick fox jumped over the lazy brown dog.

What?

Poor guy just wanted friends.

I ended up going more towards the fox and dog side than the LOTR side. Although it's never too late to add somethings into it. : P
The basic idea was that the LOTR shirt has a really cute mythical creature on it whereas the other shirt is a visualization of an old typing exercise. Their baby shirt will have aspects of both. The lazy dog is going to be Falinis or Fermac the Irish dog hound of lore. Owned by kings and the guardian of the weird sisters Falinis was said to change shape and size by day and night, was considered the best hunter in lore, and most importantly whenever it bathed (or when its hide came into contact with water) the water would turn into wine.
The quick fox is going to be a fire kitsune. The kitsune are a pretty standard Japanese spirit. In many myths Kitsune can change into human forms and are either servants of gods, companions to people, or tricksters. They have been known to have multiple tails based on their age and power.
I figure since the Balrog over there is made of fire than the kitsune can be as well. Besides that way you have the duality of fire and water since Falinis will be sleeping in water/wine. Also it plays into the old saying of wine being water that holds destructive and impassioned flames. (Fire water)

Either way when it's finished it should be cute : P
