Orillia Library Submission 'Stay In The Shadows'

Description

Okay so the Orillia Public Library has this sketchbook available that anyone could take out and contribute to it with a drawing before putting it back, like a classroom scrapbook kind of thing. My dad thought this was really cool and pointed it out to me and he was like "You should totally draw Damian or something in here but it has to be family-appropriate."
At first I thought Dad was screwing with me with the whole "family-oriented" thing. Me? Draw a family-oriented picture of Damian Warkowski without him even holding a revolver or making a nasty gesture or a vicious evil smirk? Sure it could be done but WHAT? I thought he was just saying that to make me do something else for a change; something that wasn't (as he put it) "An anime-style, John Woo-inspired death fest". Then I found out that it was actually one of the main rules of the sketchbook...
Well it took me a while to think of something but I say what I uploaded turned out nicely; this is one of the few pictures of Damian that lacks a gun or any other kind of weapon, an act of violence, some sort of sexual object (or person acting suggestively) or a dead body (or bodies) scattered all over the page. I think it turned out pretty well; it reminds me of those old fairy tale story books I used to grow up with. In a few months I'll be picking up this sketchbook (if I can find it) to see who else made a contribution to that book. That would be neat.
Also I don't like how I left so much white space... I'm the type who likes to fill in every little space if I can, but since I didn't have long to add anything and I couldn't think of anything (I only visit my dad's for like a weekend and we'd signed this out yesterday) so I just left it the way it was...
Creative criticism is ALWAYS welcome and extremely encouraged. I enjoy reading those!

Also thanks dad, for scanning this picture perfectly!
