Am I growing a third eye?

The other day, while at lunch, I saw a dog wandering around free and it reminded me of a TV special about urban raccoons. It also made me think, “My dog is probably stupider then a raccoon.”
In the special, the urban raccoons did a fine job of navigating their territory; avoiding major highways, finding food, and staying away from people. The dog I saw at lunch was also doing just fine; he wasn’t crossing the road while cars were coming, or attacking people, or running around like an idiot. Two things became clear to me; that my dog, in the same situation, would not perform so well and that he’d probably get himself killed.
That got me thinking about how dogs are sometimes thought of as dumb, by some people, in comparison to cats. So is it true, are cats really all that smart or are they just self sufficient… and it looks like smart… and is that the same thing?
Then I thought that if cats are smarter, which might be true, they are on the flip side much less useful. A dog can do all kinds of cool things to help advance the cause of humanity, where as cats do hardly anything to help. Cats are sorta jerks in that way.
Now I was wondering; Are self sufficient cats smart and therefore useless? OR Are they useless and therefore must use their brains to be self sufficient?
You see what I’m wondering is… If dogs are idiots that require our care and direction, did we humans make them that way? And if we did, did we do it because we wanted them to be our slaves? And why didn’t this happen to cats?
Is it because cats served no useful purpose to us, so we never bother to make them reliant upon us?
Along those same lines, if aliens came to Earth and found that horses were much more useful to them then humans, would they take them into their homes and make them their slaves and leave us here to just sit in the metaphorical window of our planet and lick our own metaphorical butts?
Also, how come you never see an alien wearing glasses? I don’t know if, in all of my Sci-Fi watching, I’ve ever seen an alien with glasses.
Wouldn’t it make sense that if humans have found it useful to cover our eyes with specially shaped glass to improve our vision, that aliens would also have stumbled upon this same technology? Or is it just that all aliens have Lasik?
Where are the alien optometrists?
Last week and the weekend were crazy busy. I have several drawings in the works that haven’t been colored yet, but this one is a copy of someone else because I ran out of time. I think I need to start doing more originals and move away from the copies, but for now it’s fun.
This was the original by Jeff Agala (you should definitely google him). After the work about modest super heroes I did a week or two ago i made the top a bit less revealing then Jeff.
This one started with someone elses and then got a mind of its own.
I think she’ll end up a detective character somewhere.
Here’s the inspiration by .
This is all really his fault.
The scapegoat has escaped!
Today’s post is brought to you mostly by my brother. He gave me a book of reference a couple of Christmas’s ago and last Christmas he gave me a Bamboo- he’s a good brother.
This one is a little awkward, but I’m learning (I think). The pic below is what I started with and painted over (there isn’t any of the layer showing).
Hey #2
…the cloning, not so much.
This rendering of Supergirl starts with the notion of a diving suit that would be able to withstand her high speed flight. Ever since the Incredibles I have a hard time adding capes. My son added the pink mark under her hand.
This week’s post was inspired by the work of artist Michael Lee Lunsford (you can check out all of his redesigns at http://ze-tarts.tumblr.com/post/45825059789)
I’m not sure how I stumbled onto his tumbler site but I found a place where he redesigned some classic female heroes with clothes that would actually cover all their superparts and not threaten to fall off. 
I grabbed a couple of his Lunsford’s pieces and tried my own modest redesigns. I mimiced his pose and style so that the differences would be obvious, and because I thought his were cool. I also threw in one of my brothers redesigns for a very practical Wonder Woman.
I wanted something a little more ninja than Lunsford and I think even superheroes should have the right to bear arms.
Wonderfully Practical Woman by Hoose 2.
I think this Hoose 2s design is much more practical than the khakis that Michael puts on WW, but I do appreciate how Lunsford makes her look like a tank

The strange thing about this one is, she’s sneezing with her eyes open.
Get him, boy!
Just a girl and her dog, making the most of a Post-Apocalyptic stroll.
This week was Easter. That is the most important Christian holiday. Marking the resurrection of our Lord. The bible tells us that when Christ died on teh cross that the curtain to the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.
Torn by God to man it breached the division between the two forever . It opened the holy of holies and gave each of us a chance to meet with an immortal high priest. I hope this Easter was a blessing for you and that you found peace and redemption and closeness to God.
