Rudra Veena Music Instrument Anime Drawing
Today, I wanted to talk a little bit about the Rudra Veena. It is also known as the Bin in Northern India. It is a string instrument used in classic Hindu music. It is most commonly heard in dhrupad music. The instrument has a deep bass sound. The instrument is quite ancient. It gained prominence in the 15th century during the reign of Zain-ul Abidin. After India became independent, the traditional patronage for the instrument stopped. This contributed to its decline in popularity. These days there are very few players of the Rudra Veena. According to oral tradition, the instrument...
Ballerina Dollmore Odette BJD Red Dress Photoshoot 2
This is the last photoshoot featuring my Odette bjd doll. I tend to split the photoshoots in two, for organization purposes. It also saves a bit on loading time.

I dress my doll in cute little outfits and then I take photos. I try to keep them all tasteful. I also do not like to repeat the themes. The red dress ended up looking pretty amassing. It has a bit of a snake like pattern. The coat also works well for the dolly. The second half of the photoshoot will feature my doll...
Scary Cat Birthday Party Anime Drawing Chibi Cute
To Get the Book: Scary Cat and Birthday Mime - Kindle edition by Blanco, Teresita. Children Kindle eBooks @ Amazon.com. This is another one of the raw pages from my Scary Cat book. These days drawing or publishing books is a bit of a hobby. If it is not an item description for a Dark Souls weapon, nobody is interested in reading it. It is interesting to see the way the world is going. Well…books had a pretty good run. I even doubt if you are even reading what I am writing underneath this cute drawing. Sigh…it is hard to...
