So my dog, Sunshine, went to the vet yesterday. And they ended up confirming what we were suspecting: she has arthritis in her right hip. Really bad arthritis, to the point where there's no cartilidge left in her right hip, it's just bones all pushed out of place and grinding against each other.
And the worst part of it is that there's just...really not much we can do for her. There's replacing her hip bones with holycrap titanium hips, but that's really invasive surgery and costs upwards of $8,000. D8} So the only other thing we can give her is pain medication and try to keep her comfortable. (I don't think I'm going to make her sit for treats anymore.) Apparently, labs are really stoic breeds and don't yelp or whine if they're in pain...they just limp instead of walking, and lick their paws. And she's been doing that so much.
I love my dog so much, and just knowing that she's just grinning and tail-wagging through would could be a lot of pain breaks my heart. I just wanna hug her all day now. T_T
So, they say that the best way to define and improve your own art style is to draw in other people's styles, especially if they're way different than your own. I thought it might be good to try and draw KH characters in different art styles.

Top is Sora and a Wyvern, still my favorite Heartless, drawn in a Don Bluth style. Bottom one is Sora, Kairi and a random shadow, done in Chris Sander's style! (This one was kinda trickier since Chris Sanders mostly draws girls; I wasn't sure how to approach a guy. XD)
I dunno how successful these were, but hey, it's just randomness. I might go crazy and do Heinrich Kley or Sergio Toppi attempts next. 8Da
Drawing: Lunargyros, plus I just seem to keep starting these sorts of practice things. o_O
