Poor Alberto. He resigned today. The whole time I was watching his announcement I couldn't help but think he looked kinda like a wounded puppy. I drew this while watching him resign. The quote is the last thing he said before he walked of the stage. It's a nice enough thing to say as you leave a job I suppose. However given all the scandal and crap he's been involved in lately, it could be construed as unsettling. The kind of thing that could be followed by maniacal laughter. I'm sure he'll find a very cushy well paying job as he exits the government stage left. I wish you well man and good luck. He'll probably get dragged back to congress though to answer questions surrounding his faulty memory. Why is it when ever a government official doesn't want to talk about something they say "I don't recall."? It makes it look like there all brain dead or have alzheimer's. It not really a good reflection on our nations leadership.
Here is another Character Sketch from my recent sketchbooks. This is my rendition of Þrúðr. I bet very few of you know of Þrúðr. She is Thor's daughter. Oh you didn't know Thor has a daughter? He actually has several children. He has one child, Magni by his mistress Járnsaxa. Modi's mother is not explicitly stated but is most likely either Járnsaxa or Sif. Sif is the mother of Þrúðr and Ullr. Ullr is Thor's stepson from a previous marriage. I bet you though this kinda crap was a modern invention. Anyway, She looks really tough right? Well that's what I was going for in any case. Young but tough. I think the lip ring gives her some attitude. Okay okay the ax gives her attitude but still. I'm not sold on the ax as her primary weapon yet though. It's a design point I need to consider. I have a slice of another picture with her in it. Well that's it for today. Catch you all next time.
