Leap
As she sailed smoothly over the jump, Camellia Stout felt - just for a moment - the exhilaration her lovely little pony, Ms. Tootsie Pop, must feel when leaping through the air...
to seafauna - sometime during the drawing of Miss Stout, the name popped into my head. I think it's influenced in part by my daughter's name for one of her dogs (Camellia) and in part the 'sturdy' physique of the character. By the way, she is cropping up occasionally in other art doodles and may make an appearance in a story. Thanks for asking!
It is my daughter's name and I thought it was funny because this is the second time I have seen it for a character since she was born. It also came up as one of the mice in the Stuart Little movie.
I've spent 50 years balancing the two halves of my brain. The balancing act has manifested itself from whale researcher & diver to builder of furniture & homes, from software development to teaching computer science, math & marine biology, and now it's AutoCAD draftsman & artist. Some of these, I've actually made money at - imagine...
I have two amazing, grown children (it's amazing they're grown), whose lives I delight in. My beautiful and eternally patient wife runs our equestrian center and puts me to work whenever she can get away with it.

Very cute!
I am curious about the name - how you came up with it?
