R and the rest of her kind are extremely sheltered as they were living during a very chaotic phase of Earth. Things like flowers and butterflies are novel concepts.

Yeah, that's a hood that's hanging around R's neck and shoulders. Curious since it doesn't rain or storm in any way where she resides.

After finishing an animation gig for UniquePublications for the short "Star Spangled Chicken", I'm back to drawing in my sketchbook. Animation is a labor of love to be sure. It's a process of patience, precision and tenacity. As fun as animation is, I am happy to return to my sketch world and keep exploring characters/stories I'm developing while working on other gigs. Here, we pick up "Gaia's Blessing" development again by exploring more of "R".
