Description

Electrus: Ever since I was little I’ve had this obsession with yellow ringed snakes. My older sister found a baby one in our house when I was around 5/6 and flipped out. My Dad had to leave work to get it and I remember being so intrigued by the little thing. Sadly, Mom wouldn’t let me near it and Dad took it off to work with him. Now, I think what fascinated me was that as far as I knew, snakes with colors, marking, or rings like that were poisonous, so when my Dad came home and told us the snake had bit him I didn’t understand why the snake’s venom had no effect. That always remained a bit of a subtle mystery in my head until a few days ago when I discovered that there is a Northern Ring snake that lives in N.Y and isn’t poisonous at all. Heh, mystery solved.
What does that have to do with Electrus? Well, he’s homage to that little critter that had my sister screaming for her life so many years ago! He’s also the only one I’ve had a chance to shade so far, I figure at some point I’ll shade the others.
