If you like dragons, cute things and are looking for an idea for your Christmas cards you might like the following image. It's free to download for personal, non-commercial use. It's funny how you can give your artwork new life and meaning just by adding a santa hat to it XD.

Todays scribbles

A few things I drew today.. the faces were looking a lot worse. It's surprising how looking at a totally unrelated face reference can help so much in just getting the proportions right.. I always draw massive eyes >.<

The gladiator slicing someone's butt was unintentional.. but a nice touch I think. Happy accidents.

Mini compositions/ Sketches

I tried to do some black watercolour thumbnails for fun to see if any interesting compositions came out of it. As it turns out, coming up with concepts without direction is quite the challenge. I did like the dragon composition so I was going to take that further but haven't gotten very far as you can see.. I also developed some cyborgish extraterrestrial but I later randomly found something similar on the internet so gave that one up as it obviously wasn't creative enough.

I really want to do some zombies for my portfolio and I've been inspired to do some walk cycles.. so I need to come up with some critters/ characters to model.
