I had wanted to do this picture for a while. I've been thinking a lot about my early childhood - where I was a VERY sick little boy. I won't get into too many details, but I was VERY close to dying. I was only two.
I wanted to capture a moment I remember from being in the hospital. My momma used to push me around on the I.V. stand and I would hold on tight - once I was strong enough to go to the toy-room, that is. They had a BIG piano in there that I loved.
I had WAY more than 2 I.V.s... but I didn't wanna clog up things with excessive hospital-ly stuff. Hospital stuff is NOT a fetish for me, just to clear that up.
So Bogie's taking a little ride down to the toy-room on his I.V. stand.

Yeah, that's exactly what the dehydration was from. (mom, poor mom... eeeeee... diapers and washing pajamas all night.) Yeah, it was a rare intestinal influenza. But like I said earlier, they though it was spinal meningitis - so my mom had to hold me while they gave me a spinal-tap. Just horrible.
*hugs* I think it turned out great Bogie. Your style is so adorable, it's nice to see it come out.
Have you tried giving paint tool sai a whirl? There's a free trial, and if you're not against torrenting or what not I have a full version you can have. It works great, kinda like gimp or photoshop, but with smoother lineart and easier coloring. It's not hard to get used to either. :3

Gosh, thanks SO much.
Yeah, believe me, I'd LOVE to have SAI, but I run Linux. Everyone uses SAI, and I like how easy it is, and how nice the lines are. I guess if I ever get Windows again I'll certainly 'hit you up.' Thanks so much for offering though.
As far as I know - and I don't know much - there isn't a version of SAI for Linux.

Yeah, I need to upgrade this laptop, even though it's old. It's what I do all my digital drawing on because it has an integrated Wacom Pen-Tablet. If I could get another, newer Wacom, that'd be nice - but I don't think I'll ever have enough money.
Thank you SO much for the compliments n' stuff too.

Aww, I'm sure you will!! I was lucky, but for a Wacom and pc, I paid 500, which if you set aside say, 20 bucks a week or something like that, you'll have it in a few months ^_^
I'm lucky in that I was working full time in the summer, living with my mom, so all the money was in my pocket, but I'm sure you'll make the money for a new wacom and laptop ^_^

I just got a part-time job after MONTHS of struggling. I'm educated and experienced and a good worker, but could I get a job? Not until just a couple days ago. Dish washing again.
I guess I'm not missing enough teeth or toes around here to get hired for any of the good jobs.

Gosh, thanks so much Gemmy. Yeah, I have been thinking about that time a lot lately. People are probably going to think this is a cry for attention or something (and maybe it is, just a tad) - but it is hard to forget. I still have scars all over my hands and arms (though hard to see) from I.V.s.
My character Bogie, as with most people's characters, contains SOOOO much of my real self.

Oh gosh, I know what you mean, I've spent SOOO much time in the hospital.
I really appreciate the compliments too - I did try to soften the colours just a tad bit on this one, and I'm glad someone noticed. And thank you for noticing his expression - I didn't really want him to look 'CRY' sad, but more 'pained' but glad to be getting a ride and going to the toy room. (which is exactly how I felt)

Mhmmm.... yeah, I mean, I'm not going to get into TOO much sob-story stuff of my hospital stays.
Yeah, I don't really have any aversion to needles - have had them stuck in me all my life for various reasons, allergies, illnesses, etc.
I'm just getting into body-piercings now - but it really doesn't have anything to do with my medical stuff, I don't think. Like I said, medical stuff is NOT a fetish thing or anything.

Awwww, poor lil guy. *huggles gently* I've been told I was very sick too at a very young age. I forget what it was though, but I had to be in one of those oxygen tents for a while. I also was in the hospital for a week a few years ago, and had all sorts of IVs in me too. My arms were all blue and purple when I got out. It sucks.
Yah, I know you're sick a lot Ozzie - I feel bad about that.
Those memories from that time are SO vivid to me - even though I was just turning two. I even remember the song that my Mom would sing to me because I like it - it was the Christmas song from Sesame Street "Keep Christmas With You." I cry every time I hear that song.
And the I.V.s - you may have read, they couldn't find my veins because they had collapsed. I still have scars all over the place - though they're difficult to see now.

Don't worry.
And yeah, thanks for being honest about the shading thing - I appreciate that. I did this picture for myself, and really didn't go too far with the shading stuff. I wanted to keep things soft, but it wound up being TOO soft. Live, Learn, and get LUVS. hehehehehehe
You're a doll, Yure.

Wow, that's SOOO sad! Yeah, it was right around Christmas when this happened to me too.
I can't believe how many people have related in some way to this picture already! It's REALLY humbling.
Thank you SO much for adding your comments and thoughts, I really really appreciate that.

*huggles* I don't remember the part where I was close to dying, because it was just the first six months of my life, spent in the hospital after being born 3 months premature. Since then I've had various lesser ailments, but nothing really life-threatening (unless my asthma attacks count, but I never passed out or anything from them and I haven't had one in years so I guess I'm fine there) since then.
awwww.. i really do fell sorry now. *hugs* when i was about nine months old, i acidently swallow a pen cap and almost choked to death. but i was lucky my family lived next door to a parimedic at the time.. but the pen cap came out a bit enought for me to breath to make it to the hospitle in time. but i coughed it up compleatly as soon as i got there tho.
OH thank goodness! I nearly lost my life choking on some sort of candy at a camp-ground when I was 3 or 4. I remember my mom grabbing me by my ankles and literally flipping me completely over from standing and banging on my back. It came out, but it was REALLY scary!
I know how you feel here *hugs* i spent a lot of my early child hood either in a hospital or in a children's home >.<
well, i didn't really remember most the stuff from the children's home, i was too young for that, this time of year still gets me down... Christmas is not a very popular holiday in places like that, trust me.
Just be glad you are much better now ^.^

this picture brought a tear to my eye but it wasnt a tear shed from sadness, it was from happiness knowing that precious lives are being saved everyday and im happy that some of those beautiful babies are able to become wonderful individuals like you. im so sorry you had to go through that scary experience but im so filled with joy not just knowing you survived, but being able to get to know you and to have such a wonderful (FA) bwother like like you. i love you my pwecious bwother bogie! (hugs ya and kisses your little cheeks) oh and of course, outstanding pic!
cute little renamon cub in arm and leg cast spots bogie and comes over and snuggles him gently offering to share her pikachu plushie with him* hospitals are scary irl. i went into one when i was young for juvinial migranes that were so bad my head felt like it was going to explode but i got better with medicune.
Reminds me of myself ^^ when i was 2 i got really bad pneumonia and the doctor said it was just a cold and i had to be put on a breating machine for a week ended up with asthma afterwards but i'm glad i didn't die, it was a close call.
Anyway love the picture! Gonna watch you :3
