Comment:
This is actually from a section of my sketchbook for Illustration Methods that I scanned the other day and am just getting to post. :3

The particular section this is in is The Figure. We're to draw I think its 10 or 15 pages of the "human" figure in a variety of poses in different methods. So I was dicking around and ended up with a lovely Viera male named, Erte (pronounced air - tay). He's blind, as I'm sure you all gathered from the title of the piece. XD

Considering Viera are already super attuned to The Wood and are very sensitive, Erte's blindness only increased those senses tenfold. The reason behind his flexibility is that (in my mind) he is being as The Wood. Bending and swaying with the breeze and connecting with Her in a deeper way because of his heightened senses and his meditative training to be able to contort himself into almost yoga-like poses. Wow, run-on sentence geez...

Anyway, this is Erte~ :D
