Happy New Year.

The picture for the year of the snake has been completed. I'm just waiting for the year of the snake to begin on January 29. I chose to base the snake on the African Bush viper. Because I thought it looked cool.

2026 is going to be the year of the Horse.  JonTheCaptive has volunteered to let me use one of his horse characters. Since horse are well known for their ability to kick things very hard. The horse is probably going to Sparta Kick the snake in the crotch.

I've been playing a lot of Skyrim recently. This has reminded me of an old idea I had for a picture. But never got around to commissioning it. In Skyrim, the highest perk on the pickpocketing skill tree is called "Perfect Touch". It allows you to pickpocket the clothes off NPCs.

The "Perfect Touch" commission would feature 2 characters standing naked in the foreground of the picture, blushing and desperately trying to cover themselves with their paws, a third character stands in the background, holding the clothes of the first two characters. Smugly smiling as the first two characters panic. The background is a narrow medieval street market.

I also had a sequel for this picture which involved a sorcerer shooting lighting bolts at  Centzon the lightning bolt is attracted to the metal warhammer, it arcs down the shaft of the hammer. Then it arcs from the handle, into Centzon's metal codpiece.
