The A's are closed! I just need to pick from all the suggestions (here and on Facebook), and I'll post the art when it is finished! Thanks to everyone, and watch my journal for "B" soon!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I seriously need to flex my artistic muscles before I lose them, and I have come up with a way to force myself into doing it. It will be fun and I will need YOUR help!!! Here is the plan:

CREATURE ABC's
I will post a letter (starting with "A" today), and I need everyone to suggest a creature that starts with that letter. It can be mammal, insect, bird, fish, reptile, existing or extinct, or even fantasy. BUT, it needs to be out of the ordinary and uncommon! Nothing run-of-the-mill like doves, house cats, horses, clown fish, unicorns, etc. that we have all seen a million times. You can make up to 3 suggestions per letter if you like.
I'll be doing this on my Facebook too, and with each letter I will choose the suggestion I find most inspiring to draw. I will then do a realistic sketch/study, and then a stylized drawing. If I pick your suggestion I will send you a high-resolution scan of the drawing (if you like it enough) that you can print yourself. If you have no way to print it, I'll mail you a print. I will also be posting the drawings here.

So PLEASE help me out! Start suggesting creatures that start with "A"! Just comment on this. Thank you!!!
