Description Sizes
By John Ciardi
=========================
If you were as big as a giant flea,
How much would you have to grow to be,
The size of the tiniest head-to-tale,
Very-most-midgety baby whale?

I mean to say – and it’s no surprise –
Whatever you do about your size,
There’s always something a size or two,
Very much bigger or smaller than you.

I mean to say, what’s big of some,
Is small of others. Now get along home.
And whether you stay or wander far,
Be just the size of whatever you are.
=========================

(Takai found this poem she had copied into her grade school notebook, and I just thought that poem was too appropriate, fun and cute all at the same time. I just had to share it.)

100,000 Pageviews
Well, it’s been a long path to get to this point. I had no idea that my art would be so well received, or that I would make so many friends who shared my ‘interest’. I can’t thank you all enough. To my online friends, who taught me to come out of my shell, and showed me I wasn’t the only person in the world to have this fetish. To my RL friends, who didn’t freak out when I told them. (Except for my Brother. He kind of acted a little kooky for a while after that. Now he just thinks it’s funny. )

Of course, a huge thank you to my fiancé Takai. You inspire me to try so much harder, and to better myself every day. When I was working on this picture, I didn’t want to do a background. I always cop out when it comes to backgrounds. But she always knows when I can do better, and when I’m just taking the easy route out of sheer laziness. Thank you for being there to push me, and even if I get whiny, I always appreciate it. I wouldn’t be half the person I was today if you weren’t there to coax me.

Measuring Up
Okay, I know this question will be asked- Why am I measuring Takai’s ankle of all things? The answer is simple. Takai’s been trying to lose weight lately, and as you could probably imagine, it’s practically impossible to keep a running record of someone’s weight when their scale can range anywhere from 8 to 80 feet.

So then, to determine her weight, first we have to determine her height. Good luck measuring her head to toe. With a few creative applications of algebra though, we can find out just how big she is. Thus explains why Takai has a tape-measure-wielding Chibi wrapped around her ankle. Simple, right?

Well, I've been putting out a steady, seemingly never-ending stream of brush fires. It sorta feels like being Bruce Wayne, mines the secret identity, the money, and the wonderful toys! But I THINK it's finally starting to come back together. Here's hoping.

Really? I wonder why that is... Do you think it's her body shape, or maybe her face? I really hadn't noticed that.

Hehe, I can see that... The face is an odd angle, and the ponytail always lends itself to the impression of youth... And with this kind of perspective, it does kind of minimize her curves. ^__^

I thought that poem was very nice, as well.
It's good to have someone to push you when you need it, and to hold and support you when things aren't going that well.
Finally, I don't get the measuring thing, but, then I only got to Transitional Math in HS, where they are just starting to introduce Algebra.. -_-'

chibiBiscuit In reply to iowaguy1979 [2009-02-15 16:40:09 +0000 UTC]

Well, let me see if I can explain this: (Copied from a previous post, because it's long. )

96......x
---- = ----
12......120

Where the numerator is Takai's height, in inches, where the denominator is Takai's ankle circumference, and X is Takai's enlarged height, also in inches. By completing the equation, we can find out Takai's current height, and from there, complete the equation again, except by using Takai's weight as the numerator, and Takai's height as the denominator.

==========================

I'm really glad you liked the picture and the poem. I can agree with you, too. Takai has pushed me to do so much more than I would have, she's driven me to be a better artist, and a stronger man. And when things are outside of my control, and I feel like despair has begun to raise it's ugly head, she's there to comfort me. She's been nothing but supportive after all the trouble I've had finding a job, and I really don't think I would have been able to do it without her.

Your style has been changing and morphing. It's really interesting to go back and look through your old art and then watch as it progresses to the newer stuff. Very cool and love the piece.

Thank you. It's pretty incredible seeing how you evolve as an artist. I never thought I would ever have the guts to start uploading my GTS pictures, and past that, I never thought I would get this good at coloring on the computer.

I'm really glad you liked the picture.

I was kind of the same way with my writing. I never though that it would be liked by anyone...but I posted it some places and bam, people like it. I guess we are our own harshest critics and our own worst enemies when it comes to getting out work out there in the world. kind of like how musicians are rarely pleased with their performances, even when everyone else loved it.
