All that i'm living for, all that i'm dying for, all that i can't ignore alone at night.

All that i'm wnated for, although i wanted more. Lock the last open door, my ghosts are gaining on me.

I believe that dreams are sacred, take my darkest fears and play them like a lullaby, like a reason why.

Like a play of my obsessions, make me understand the lesson so i'll find myself again...so i won't be lost again.

Lyrics to 'All that i'm living for' by Evanescence.

-----

All alone in the dark, Tao's tortured soul cries out for rest. Sleep is calling out to him, pulling him enticingly into its embrace, but he daren't sleep. For here is where the darkness really lies, where the demons play, pulling his soul deeper into despair and the confines of a prison for stronger than that which surrounds him.

(Again, this isn't originally what i planned. I did want to draw Tao, my Canni, again as i love him so much and the response to my other pic was so great. But somehow he ended up here in the darkness, too afraid to sleep in the clutches of his evil captor. But don't worry folks, he does escape but remains scarred by his experiences for some time after. But still my attempts at moonlight need much improvement! Hopefully more pics of my new characters will be on the way!)

:-) Sam Adams replies: "Thanks 1!!!"

oooh......*gives doggy bug huggle*....soppy thing!!! - i’ll rescue him, but i don’t think Charlie would approve if i took him home! 11

:-) Sam Adams replies: "He definitly needs some TLC right now although i’m sure you’re right about Charlie! (I think Tao would just run and hide though!)"

Oh, poor Tao :/
He is cute. I love that pose and that anatomy, it looks great! The details in the background look great also and that moonlight looks just fine 12

:-) Sam Adams replies: "I agree, but at least i have a happy pic of him up now.
I’m soooo glad you like him and especially that you think the moonlight came off ok!"

YAY, IT’S MY WITTLE TAOY!

I love him sooo much! He looks very sad and worried...

:-) Sam Adams replies: "I’m afraid so, but as my other pic shows he does get out!"

Why is my wolfy friend trapped?

:-) Sam Adams replies: "Again, no story i’m afraid and also again this was originally meant to be a happy pic (*sigh* why do so many of my pics turn sad? oops!) Actually he’s a Canni (a kind of magic dog i came up with) rathe than a wolf. But in my ’escape by moonlight’ pic he has escaped and there’s a bit of reasoning for his capture there, but really it was just a random pic again1!"

He is wolfy though he isn’t a wolf...

You need to find out his story!

:-) Sam Adams replies: "No, he’s a Canni (my own invention although not very original). I guess i know his story inside but don’t want it to distract me from my Kinra story or i’ll never get it finished!"

:-) Sam Adams replies: "’fraid so...but it will work out ok in the end1!"

:-) Sam Adams replies: "I know but don’t worry, there are happier pics of him on my gallery!"

Ah, I finally found this one again! I saw this several months ago and forgot who had done it...but now I know! Beautiful work, such a sweet little character. I love his big eyes and that light ruff of fur around his neck and chest. 18 Great work!

:-) Sam Adams replies: "Yay THANKIES!!! I really must get round to drawing more of him!"

D: I want to give the poor puppy a hug.
Wow you have a great understanding of canid anatomy.

:-) Sam Adams replies: "I just love animals in general, they just seem to make ’sense’, people on the other hand make no sense at all and there anatomy always escapes me. So glad you like Tao though1!"
