Transformation - A Mind is a Hard Thing to Change

I decided to take the road less traveled. While I might LIKE to turn into a dragon, I don't think that's the most radical change I could come up with. Besides, I managed to work a dragon in there, in the end.

What programs or Tools did you use?
Photoshop for the layout, then Illustrator to tighten up the lines, then Photoshop again for the colors. An intuos 2, an Intuos 4 and a mouse also played fairly significant roles in the strip's creation.

Where did you find your inspiration for your entry?
Well, I've always thought it was harder to change a mind than person... but I digress. Recently, various and sundry friends and acquaintances either (tried to and or actually) got pregnant or found themselves the parents of new, smaller versions of themselves! That got me to thinking about what an interesting and abrupt change in one's thought process that might be. How carefree dreaming of monstrous dragons and mighty warriors warriors and giants and elves might slide into wonder-filled tales about fairy princesses and magical lamps and wise men and...ducks. And a swan.

How long did it take to complete?
About a day's honest work, spread out over a couple of days, due to real life infringing on drawing time.
