**EDIT**
Wow, i was honored with Second Place in the Bounty of Beauty Contest, held by fatgirlstock and lisolettegilcrest! There were so many many beautiful works celebrating the absolute true beauty of chubby women, that it really humbles (at the same time head-swells) me. Thank you so much for this honor! I love it when my message gets through!

Now, i have in the works a Calendar. Really it's only in the idea stage, but i have a few pieces that would work in it, and some pieces i intend to create for it ... that Tangled Up Faery i have featured at the time of this posting will be May, because my girlfriend's birthday is May 31st, and May is a red word.
I originally thought this idea back when i drew the "Pretty Enough" drawing ... i can't remember if she's here in my gallery or not ... but i ended up drawing the "I feel pretty" one instead - with the girl frolicking, throwing her bra off amidst cherry blossoms falling .... that one may become April - but i have other April ideas (as it is my month, and the most colorful flowers and cherry blossoms come out in April).
Then when i thought of making the calendar, this idea came back to me as being potential for November, as that's one of the rainiest months ever! ... But it really could be March, too!
I originally had a St. Patrick's theme for March, but i also think March is one of the the rainiest months ... as we all should know March showers bring April flowers (i know that's not the "real" saying, but that's what REALLY happens ... at least in BC ... Newfoundland doesn't really have a Spring *sad face*). So, i'm a little torn ... as March is sorta reddish (M is a red-colored letter) ... and November is more gray and white in color (even though N is an orange letter ... synaesthesia - look it up!), and this piece would fit November's color scheme more ..... but what girl is gonna go running around naked during a cold, cold November rain? But then there's the song "November Rain" which makes it fit even MORE!
But then, what girl's gonna have 2 umbrellas? It doesn't need to be super real, right? Just pretty, inspiring and eye-opening!

The 2 umbrellas in the rain symbolize to me the fact that she doesn't care anymore what other people think ... she's fat AND she's gorgeous! She needs no more protection from the oppressive rain, but embraces herself in it! Liberation, in a word.

Oh, and the fact that she looks almost exactly like my Demon Sorceress taking a Dark Shower is purely coincidental - hair tends to look black when it's wet - plus this rain girl was imagined way before the Dark Shower image. She may be October for Halloween ... but then i shouldn't put this rain girl in for November for lack of variety in women reasons ... oy, the think i must contemplate as you fall asleep reading my rantings ...

Oh, and how's that for my first serious umbrella drawings?
