7 Babylon 5 Fanarts

An embarrassingly long time ago I asked folks for Babylon 5 characters fanart requests. And because it took me forever to draw them, I decided to add two bonus arts as compensation. :-)  I apologise for the delay! If you haven't watched Babylon 5, there will be a spoiler about one of the characters below.

Here they are!

Shadow Surgeon

for Henri 

Usually very ominous. So I decided to draw a Surgeon doing something mundane and not threatening. Not at all.

Indoor Gardening [Daily Photo #168]

Yesterday I showed you our outdoor garden, and today it's time for the indoor (mini) garden! We've got here chives, rucola and lettuce.

September Flowers! [Daily Photo #167]

Today I went to look at all our green friends and they got really talkative!

“Katya has been ecstatic I grew so tall and started blooming.
That's understandable. I *am* gorgeous!”

Are you tired of flower photos yet? ;p If so, I have some edited images to freshen things up! But, in case you prefer unedited photos, I'll add them too. I had a lot of fun with these! ^u^

A Sunflower [Daily Photo #162]

Yesterday's daily photos were of solar lamps and today it's a sunflower. 

This blog is so sunny! =D

Hm, is there an item I haven't featured in my daily photos? Oh, an umbrella! 

Actually, I don't think I've ever taken any pics of umbrellas at all!
Huh… Glad it's fixed now. =D

Romance: catching pokemons together under an umbrella =D
