Charlotte's Works

Was hoping to finish another colouring book image while I'm on vacation and I was thinking lions and then, as luck (or this time of year) would have it, it's also the current zodiac challenge so I figure some lion studies are gonna help me with both... Now these are just random lion images from a google search so the original photos are probably copyrighted and definately not mine. Come to think of it I should have some old lion photos from the good old before digital camera days lying around somewhere...



In other news I've had a shitty morning. I needed to renew a prescription so I checked my blood pressure last week and it was too high and so I had a doctor's appointment this morning. Blood pressure is still too high and he gave me a prescription for that. So far so good, only he also said all nice like that he'd tell my other doctor that I really shouldn't get that other prescription and I dunno what it is with doctors but I never think to ask them how the heck to get on without the meds I need until AFTER I've left. So now I keep worrying that I won't get my prescription and that my health will get even worse than when they decided to "experiment" with my prescription last year. (That went so badly that they changed their minds after a few weeks...)
This doctor feels it's up to the other doctor to find an alternative but as far as I know there is none (if there was I'd already be on it!) and I've already asked them and they never had an answer before, I doubt very much they'll have one now.

Yeah, I've heard rather horrid things from friends and family going to the doctor's...

Anyway I know what I have, and I know what issues it causes. But as far as I know there's no real treatment, only this one thing that the doctors don't want to give me for various reasons (like having been on said treatment for too long - yeah well I was born with this issue so maybe I need a treatment for life?)

Seeing the discussion on dwarf anatomy in Atto's thread I felt inspired to do a bit of sketching... And I have to say from this evidence (ahem) it's obvious that Elves and Orcs are more closely related than one may think at first glance...

Battle scenes hadn't come to my mind, yet but that could be fun - an eternal battle between the dead armies of fantasy races... whoooo....
I was more curious about possible anatomical variations though - and I'm wishing I'd made the orc's legs a bit shorter, I think.... Just a bit more gorilla like...
Any skeletal battles will have to wait though, since I have Leo, a lion colouring page and Aries to worry about. I haven't worked on Aries in like forever (well, June when the Giger challenge came up, I think) but I'm finally back on it. A little anyway!
