Hey everyone,
So my charcoal drawing of Magni and Marino is finally complete. This whole fatherhood thing just rips out a chunk of my heart so I'm totally exhausted and drained. 
This drawing, however, is one I'm proud of (more so than the sketches I've posted before that are buried somewhere on this board  ). I've been struggling to render children properly in charcoal, which is an unkind medium to use for soft chubby cheeks.  Whoever took the original photograph at the RS:SN mansion did a fantastic job of getting Marino's little giggle.
Thanks to GothKitty's superb reconnaissance work, I have a way of sending this to Magni - Magni, if you read this, look for it in the mail. It will be coming your way in a couple weeks as an early birthday present.
I ask again that you do not post this image anywhere outside of magni-ficent.com. Thanks for your cooperation and support!

| You did a fantastic job! I was so surprised when Marino was laughing and completely calm while meeting an entire group of strangers. He has a beautiful smile . Magni was so happy to see Eyrun and Marino, it's lovely that you captured that time for them to remember and enjoy always.

| That is a very beautiful drawing. As I said somewhere else on this board today, Magni as "the family man" is the most attractive aspect about him. His son is just so adorable! I'll never forget him with those big protective headphones on at the RS:SN show--too cute!
