Illustration Friday "Myth"

Sleeping?
So once again I am dusting off a illustration I did back sometime ago, to participate in Illustration Friday word challenge
"MYTH"

I am still working on my other project so I can include it in my portfolio for the
 SCBWI 2013 Winter Conference
 
 
"Sleeping?"
11X14 pen and ink/ watercolor
   "The Hobbit" by J.R.R. Tolkien was the source of the inspiration

    Maybe...I've been known to sleep with my eyes open before...
    Love the detail in the scales.

      I used my dog Hamlet as the model he used to sleep this way when he was alive.

    That does look a bit like a crazy dog pose. Wonderful details! And good luck with your SCBWI project!

      Thank you! If it was not for a bad cold that kept me from seeing straight I would be done, I just need to cut & glue it all together.

      P.S. Also I added the picture I used as a reference
