By surprisingly popular demand, Spike the (Baby) Dragon.
When Simon was a baby, he was found on the doorstep of the Sullivan's, who quickly adopted him as the family's little brother. The Sullivans live in Washington D.C. The mother is a writer and activist and the father is an educator. Captain Samuel (33) is a veteran of WWI, Thea (21) is a recent graduate of Howard University, and Simon (12) is still surviving junior high school.
Simon and Thea now live in Ponyville, Nebraska together, following Thea's employment as the small country town's resident librarian.
the four white horses always make me think of the Princess Bride
it’s difficult to capture the colour of this one. it’s a little too yellow in some pictures. the leaves were partially free hand and partially stenciled. the bowl’s a little wonky but not bad for my first large slab-built bowl!
carving the inside of bowls is such a pain though. I always tell myself I won’t do it again but then I do
This is incredibly dumb but are we just going to collectively not talk about Miles miraculously, inexplicably knowing how to ride a horse? Yes it LOOKS easy but it’s just. not. I can’t explain it and I’ve only ever ridden two (2) times, and definitely not in a gallop, and definitely definitely not after running and doing acrobatics for my life.
Where, how, and why would he have even gotten lessons, or even BEEN on a horse outside of like,, pony rides at the fair when he was four? Provided they even did those in big city fairs. This is importanté; even moreso than the resolution for the cliffhanger
I've posted this before, but that time I included the two pages of drawings I made to make the animation so I wanted to just post the actual gallop cycle by itself this time.
'i mean, you totally could've avoided all this had you just killed my son' lives rent free in my head because. because it sounds like a wave. the notes reaching their peak at 'this' like the peak of a wave and descending in 'had you just killed my son' like water crashing back into the ocean after hitting a wall or a cliff.
