Description

...Still searching? Yes, yes, okay. Here is the next piece. Piece 1 by Hazelstar67 He is just so... INFURIATING!

And, of course, the riddle....

Chop me down and bring me inside,

Brush off the snow and make sure I’m nice and dried.

Dress me in shiny balls, ornaments and lights,

Then step back and marvel at me, a true Christmas delight

HEY LOOK! I DECIDED TO MAKE A SPHINX!

 

Ha ha ha, anyways, I went here- www.dragoart.com/tuts/14594/2/… and tried to learn how in the world to draw a sphinx. I'm gonna make this look pretty and color it and stuff, but until then... SPHINX!

 

Little factoid about the Sphinx-

A sphinx, in Greek tradition, has the haunches of a lion, sometimes with the wings of a great bird, and the face of a human. It is mythicised as treacherous and merciless. Those who cannot answer its riddle suffers a fate typical in such mythological stories, as they are killed and eaten by this ravenous monster. This deadly version of a sphinx, appears in the myth and drama of Oedipus.

 

Wow. Learning new stuff already! I wonder what the answer to her riddle would have been.... Hm.
