She smiles as Rajiv pouces her, grinning from ear to ear. "That's how I got him!" he says, retelling the tale of an enormous snake he's met earlier this day – once a majestic cobra, once a slinking python.

This is actually old. As in, dirt-old. It was done before last EF, but I haven't posted it, because I hated it for a really long time after it was finished. Quite frankly, I still hate myself for doing it. But one day, I accidentally opened the progress PSD with this and just... fiddled with it for no particular reason until I thought it looked decent. I still don't particularly like it, but at least it's halfway presentable now.

Note that the old one was atrociously green. If you happen to know who bought the original at the EF art show (stupid me lost the invoice), please, let me know, or let them know, or... just give me a way to contact this person, I need to make them a reprint.

As a sidenote, I've been reading a lot on Indian history, mostly 1700s and 1800s, during the past few months. That may rear its ugly head somewhere...
