Sketches, sketches, sketches... and if you scroll all the way down, an Etsy store update.




And you thought I was going to get regular with my posting again.

 
Her name is Lissie (no duh). She's British, and has nine lives. (Okay, eight left.)
My sister and I have been coming up with a story together recently. It's about a British girl (Lissie) and a motorcyclist guy (Nate) who find out that they have nine lives. Well, Lissie's down to eight now, and Nate's been at six for a few years.

It's a very long and rather complicated story, so I shall not say too much. But I'm considering doing a comic.

Oh, and I figured out a way to ink on my drawing program in a way that I like.

 This is one of my older characters, Conni. I've only drawn her myself a few times. Then the amazing Livvie Lisa suggested an art swap, and I asked if she'd draw her. She did the lineart, and I colored it in.

This is what she requested I draw.
I love drawing Rapunzel.

I spent far too much time on her. Like, three days. And her eyes are still crooked. *growls*


Chibis of me and a friend in our Halloween get-up. (I'm on the left.)
 One of my friends came over the other week, along with her two cousins (who happen to be my pastor's sons). The cousins and the rest of my family went for a walk, so it was just me and her sitting in my bedroom chatting. She has an obsession with Nico di Angelo from the Heroes of Olympus series (okay, okay, so I share the obsession), and we were talking about how we should do a Rick Riordan cosplay for Halloween.

We settled on Nico and Sadie Kane (Kane Chronicles). I just need to find some good red hair dye, and make a staff. I've got everything else. She just needed black boots, so I let her borrow my sister's combat boots. (Cause I'm a nice sister like that.) But hey, they wear the same size, and my sister's only worn them once since she got them, so I am justified in this.

Behold the Ninja.
My little sister (not the combat boots one) is going as a Princess Ninja Kitty. And if you mess up the order of those words, she will not hesitate to correct you. She is not a Ninja Kitty Princess, nor a Kitty Princess Ninja, but a Princess Ninja Kitty.

But anyway, she looked so adorable in her costume that I had to draw her.


Etsy update:
Nothing. Check back later.

KIDDING I'M JUST KIDDING CALM DOWN. I started to set the shop up, but it turns out that I need some sort of payment method. (Shocking, right?) So my mom took me over to the bank to set up a junior account, but I need and ID for that. Which I don't have. So we have to go to the place like thirty minutes+ from our house, and it's only open on Thursdays. Which is our busy day, when we run all of our errands. Errands which take place 30+ minutes in the opposite direction.

So in other words, still nothing.

I did discover that you can sell custom artwork on Etsy, so I might have a custom portrait option when I finally open shop. Nothing too expensive, as I'm not very good at the current time, but at least I can make a few dollars off of my normal every-day activity.

There was something else I was going to say, but I forget it at the moment. I'll probably remember the instant I hit post.
