Tag As FavoriteComment		'...And, as in uffish thought he stood, The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, And burbled as it came!...' -'Jabberwocky' by Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson) Okay, so one day I was just sitting there, minding my own business, when BAM! this image of...something...pops into my head and wouldn't leave! Worse, it kept morphing itself, making itself look more and more interesting (to me), until I couldn't take it anymore and had to sketch it. Having done that, the image then compelled me to scan it in and run it through Photoshop for colorization and background. Finally, it's been yelling at me for the past few days to submit it to Elfwood, and I'm giving in now. So there you go. Also, I realize this does not exactly match the description given of the Jabberwocky in Carroll's Alice in Wonderland (or Through the Looking Glass, whichever it was), but that's the only name it would accept being called, and after all it put me through, I'm not about to argue with it. Also, it doesn't consider itself to be a true dragon, and I'm inclined to agree with it on that point. Ball-point pen on drafting paper, colored in Adobe Photoshop 5.0 Limited Edition. Background taken from the site http://www.bredl.org/nat_forests/ and I found the poem at http://www76.pair.com/keithlim/jabberwocky/poem/jabberwocky.html
