Gift for Vana: Proud New Mommy

So my good friend and pseudo aunt went to Libya on the 17th of April to adopt a baby with her wife... And recently came back with a beautiful 2-month old baby girl!

This was a surprise commission on behalf of her wife. c:

Congrats, you two!

That's so sweet dude!

Granted things in Libya are 'really' bad right now.

And hopefully this isn't one of those situations where kids are put up for adoption but aren't really put up for adoption. Unless it's through Red Cross or something. You've heard the stories so you know how complicated these situations can get.

But I'm happy for them. Her exceptionally instinctive maternal personality will surely be good for this child.

And this tribute art express one thing....pure unconditional love.

Well done both of you.

Thank you for everything, the support, the surprise gift art, and for being a great freind/pseudo-niece. I will be sure to get you back in about 5 days when your B-Day arrives.

Cute baby

I really like that baby. He is REALLY cute, and I'm willing to completely overlook the fact that 2-month-olds don't smile quite that wide. ;-) I actually want to pinch his cheeks.

The only reason it didn't get a 10 is the mother. I don't know what's hitting me wrong about her. I think it's that I expect her either to be looking at the baby, or to have her eyes closed because she is cuddling the baby with her head on his head. Or maybe I've just spent too much time around babies, iunno. It's wonderful regardless, and I think it's a really nice thing to honor their new family with this image.

Sabtastic responds:

Thanks!

I agree. There are a lot less awkward ways to cuddle a baby. lol
I'm one of those people who has little to no experience around toddlers, so when I have one in front of me to take care of, I freeze and just stare at it. Had to actually google images "Mother holding Baby" to get an idea of what the hell to draw. XD
