Power to the Powerless

This picture comes from a scene that will appear in the fifth or sixth book of the fantasy series I'm working on, when a certain character sees that dragon for the first time. The dragon isn't actually that big in comparison to the person, but it appears that way to her, because it is so very powerful and she feels so powerless.

And I really, really want to say more than that, but then I'd be giving spoilers, and that's just not allowed.

Oh! Also, this drawing was done in pencil, and I darkened the lines via my computer. I may colour it at some point, mostly because the perspective is a little wonky right now. It's not incorrect; it's just that it's hard to tell how everything works because it's all just lines at the moment... but I like the lines. So there. :P

From Doodle Thursday: The Two Sides of Forgetting

The beast in the corner represents the inner experience of forgetting, which is not easily understood by others without explanation. The Silent on the bottom represents the external experience of forgetting, which is what people think of when they think of that word.

Basically, it's a contrast between idiosyncratic and stereotypic experiences of the same mental activity.

If I wanted to take the time to improve this, I'd make that Silent look more like it's supposed to, but this is probably rather good, considering that they're aliens from Doctor Who that people forget the look of when they can't see them. :P Here's what they're supposed to look like:

I also doodled a little monster today that I found entertaining. I think I'll call him Ronald.

But back to forgetting: Do you think there's a difference between how you experience forgetting internally, and how the average person forgets? (Yes, I like asking philosophical questions about my doodles. They lend themselves well to that. :) )
