A Father's Love

My Contest entry for 's 'Kung Fu Panther' contest.

I don't honestly have very much to say about it, to be honest I'm one of the few that grew up without a father, so I'm a bit blank in the category of the affection one would feel towards their Patriarch... So I found a poem to fill in where I draw blanks and voids. For those of you who can't see it, enjoy it here ...

=====

I looked at you when you were born,
and knew then straight away,
that I would be forever here
to watch you grow and play.

You bring to me a heart of joy,
and memories so great,
and a powerful sense of fatherhood that no one can debate.

I watch you sleep and dream of things that I can only wonder.
That innocent look upon your face just makes my heart grow fonder.

I see you run and jump and shout and calling out my name.
No love that I have ever known could ever feel the same.
No suffering or tragedy nor deeply seated pain
could ever over shadow the bond that we retain.

And so my little princess before you go to sleep,
Remember I am your daddy and I am yours to keep.

I clearly didn't think up the words, they; and other poems, can be found here. . .

Anyways, I figure the bond between Qhsui and Copa would be a fairly strong one, so I decided to make them share a loving embrace instead of my initial idea... well to be honest, this was my initial idea, but I threw it out for a short period and went in my usual direction . . . Then I came back to this, then decided to color it.

Eh, I never like anything I do, but I did enjoy working on it at least, and I hope Rain enjoys it as well. Thanks for allowing me to compete and illustrate your characters.
