• “Hazy dusk” by Jay Faiz

    Story by my good friend: Jay Faiz

    It started with a light tap tap tap on your window on a particularly hazy dusk.

    Tap tap tap.

    Tap tap tap.

    Just enough to annoy you and tickle your curiosity, even though you are fully aware that you’re on the thirtieth floor and it is impossible for anyone to do it since you are sure that there are no ledges outside and there’s no way that a window cleaner would work at this hour.

    Tap tap tap.

    You drew the curtains and saw it.

    It smiled slightly, waved its scrawny hand, and said hi.

    And disappeared.

    From then on, whenever the day ended hazy and everything is all orange and gray, you hear that light tap tap tap on your windows.

    Tap tap tap tap tap tap tap.

    I want to work more on the whole action/drama on this drawing. I’m trying to capture the waterfall, but I guess it’s another day of learning.

    And with this, Inktober 2021 is officially finished!

    When you are scared, but you do it anyway, that’s brave.

    I like snakes. I always feel their images on mass media are rarely justified. In Disney’s animation “The Jungle Book,” Kaa is displayed as one of the antagonists as Disney himself felt that audience would not sympathize with snake character — despite the Kaa character on the novel is actually one of the mentors for Mowgli, alongside Baloo and Bagheera.

    But I have to admit, Disney’s snakes are hilarious. Kaa (The Jungle Book) and Sir Hiss (Robin Hood) are my favorite.

    This work shall be titled as “Ssssssselfie” (get it? Get it?)

    I really don’t have any idea how to draw the porcupine’s feet — that’s the reason I always have them covered on the drawings.
