I like pandas.

Cleaned up that Gia sketch. Gotta admit, I’m loving the way she looks now. Gia’s best griffon. <3

She’s back!

It’s been way too long since I’ve updated Gia. Combine writer’s block, artist’s block, a smidge of depression, a pinch (well, more like a few cups) of losing my job, and my cat passing, and it’s pretty easy to get sidetracked. On the bright side, taking so much time off from her has given me ample time to improve in general. I’m not disgusted with my previous work, but I can definitely look back and see areas where I know I can do much better now. 

I’d like to get back to regular updates (at least weekly) by the start of the year. But in the meantime, I’d like to ask y’all for a favor.

See, for the life of me, I cannot come up with a color scheme for Gia that I am happy with. I’d been wanting to do more color art of her, but it’s kind of hard when you can only picture her in black and white. So I figure why not ask my followers? Surely someone out there is handy with a pastel palette.

I’ll take as many suggestions as y’all have to give. If there’s no clear favorite, I’ll take the ones I like the most and put them to a poll a little later. If possible, I’d like to reach a decision by the end of the week. Let’s say…Sunday night?

So how about it? Give me some colors for her feathers, her fur, and her eyes. Even better if you color the sketch and submit it, but not necessary. It’s better than just saying “red and black.”

She will not be red and black. There’s always that one person…

The Ask and Submission boxes are always open here and at @gia-does-things, have at it!

Her heart was in the right place, at least.
