an entry for the Artdrop blog's Concept Tuesday. The description was as follows:
Concept Description: In this months "Confessions of a Full-time Wizard" Dragon® column, Shelly Mazzanoble talks about her desire for a new familiar...well, an unfamiliar familiar. Not only do I love reading Shelly's pieces, but I love the idea of an unfamiliar familiar! The concept this time is to step away from the normal familiars (cats, rats, snakes, ravens, etc.) and dream up something new and interesting...or hysterical, if you are like Shelly.
My wife actually suggested an Ostrich (well her first suggestion was a buffed up barbarian in a thong....). I immediatly liked it. They always look like they are up to no good.

cheers,
nick
your stuff always makes me smile
cheers!
the expression did take me a while to get right it went from very angry (he was supposed to snap his staff in half) to very sad (pathetically so). I think i landed somewhere in the middle, something like resigned frustration.
thank you again (also for the fav)!
