Koala Wolverine!"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>When I sat down today to design today&#8217;s post, all I knew was that I wanted to watercolor. Out of ease, I decided to paint a few cartoon animals and thought a platypus was the best bet. They&#8217;re funny looking and have some character. When I started to come up with another animal, I soon came up with a koala. Aren&#8217;t they both in Australia? I know koalas are but are platypus too? Or are they in Madagascar?<\/p>\n<p>Well, anyway, that doesn&#8217;t matter. But when I started drawing my koala, I noticed their fuzzy cheeks and how they remind me of chops. If you think about it, they kind of look like Wolverine from X-Men. Once I had that thought, I decided to push the idea and gave the Koala pointy ears and yellow fur. He was going to have a smile too but I didn&#8217;t think Wolverine would have one so I dropped. I really do like how the creative process works.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-280\" title=\"Arguing Animals\" src=\"http:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/blog_03_19_10.jpg\" alt=\"Yellow Koala making fun of Purple Platypus\" width=\"580\" height=\"557\" srcset=\"https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/blog_03_19_10.jpg 580w, https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/blog_03_19_10-300x288.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ever travel to new worlds while drawing?
