So a panel of experts looked at your drawings, Derek. Joe Dowdall (11) Caleb McConnell (10). Here are some thoughts:

Joe's favorite: the Samuri guy (the one with the scar & top-knot)

Caleb's favorite: the Moses looking guy with the staffy thing (the one that looks strangely like Derek...)

Random comments:

Derek is really good at that sharp-edged, pointy, straighty drawing...(re: the red & black tree)

I think its two heads trapped together but trying to get away from each other (re: the abstract piece right above the reb & black tree)

The princess warrior is kinda scary...she's got big hair and puffy cuffs...

The children have spoken. Good work Derek!

I really love the response! Thank you! I just finished coloring my warrior princess. I think I did her justice. Hopefully, her puff cuffs work for her. I know the pink is way girlie, but it's supposed to be. My next female warrior is darker. I also have on their way: two knights, a female monk, and, my all-time favorite, . . . John Calvin en anime. I'm also trying for Luther.

Also note:
-My favorite is the monk holding the cross. I think the stained glass window behind him rocks.

-Everyone says all my drawings look like me. Especially the men . . . That one I concede looks alot like me. What can I say? I'm rugged outdoorsie.

-On the cognative dissonance piece: yes. It's actually meant to be one face seperating into two. Really good eye. :)

Thanks for the response! Ask the kids if they have any ideas for more characters. I'm up for it.

Ashton saw the warrior princess and said it wasn't right because she had pink hair instead of black and pink inserts in her puffs instead of red. I told her that Snow White isn't the only princess, but I don't think she registered the concept. She did acknowledge that "she has those plastic things like Snow White". "The puffs, you mean?" "Yeah."
These look really great in color, with backgrounds and everything. I also like the stained glass behind the monk, but the swirly haze behind the Samurai guy is nice.

That's beautiful, Derek. My admiration for Snow White is growing.
Ashton's response to the new Warrior Princess was "Good."
And then, "Why does she have that necklace on, Mommy?"
I told her that she got it for her birthday. To which she informed me that of course computer drawings don't have birthdays.
Oh well.

If Paul had written about a female warrior, he might have included the Necklace of Inner Beauty. Don't know if that will make sense to Ashton, though ;-)

I like the fact that Snow White doesn't exactly look "white." And something tells me she doesn't sit around pining into wishing wells (a pagan practice, by the way). But maybe she does get down with the dwarves, on her down time.

Inner beauty aside, I have done great injustice.

An actual conversation while drawing a completely different female character in full armor at the McConnell's:

Kelly: Who is that?
Emily: I don't know. Who does it look like to you?
Kelly: (with excitement) It looks like Snow White!

So, is it me, or the girls? I think I prefer to remain blissfully unaware. Anyway, I took the necklace out. I made the shirt better, added a quick, makeshift bow, and put that weird board thing behind her head. What is that thing anyway? A shirt collar? Anyway, I refuse to change the arms because I put over 2 hours into this already, and I don't know why. Other than that Ashton is cute. If she asks you about the arms, tell her it's winter. If she finds something else wrong, explain copyright law using big words. If she asks about fair use, mumble something about Air Pirates and just walk away. . .
