and not succeeding.
HI!!!
So this weekend was pretty hectic. I was hyper and in a great mood Friday because I didn't have anything I needed to do during the weekend. HA*.
Bliz and I went to MVC so she could take a test and I sat around reading Watership Down. More HA**.
Then in the evening we went out with Janene to JoAnn's to look at yarn and stuff, and while we were there I got a call saying my llama was acting sick and I needed to go home...so I did. On the way home my mother called again to say that the neighbor vet thought Chonny had tetanus, and we needed to give him a vaccine if we wanted to pull him through. When we got home I went over to Julie's because she was being wonderful and calling vets all over the place and stuff***, and then the vet guy met us at the house (Chonny was walking around by this point) and you know I'm tired of talking about this so forget me continuing in detail. Suffice it to say, Chonny wasn't as bad as we originally thought but he did lie down on his side a couple times (which is a NONO) and that morning from 4:30 to 8:30 I ended up sleeping outside (with a sleeping bag, fortunately) to make sure I could roll him back over if necessary. Then Saturday morning we discovered that a bale of hay that had been standing on end had fallen over on Parfait and killed him, which was totally unexpected and shocking and made me and Bliz into emotional wrecks for quite a while****. That night after giving him a tetanus anti-toxin shot (though we're not sure whether it really was tetanus he had; it might just have been malnutrition) and some probiotics (he had eaten a whole lot that day and we wanted to help him digest it) I slept outside the whole night (but with some foam padding under me this time!) and of course he didn't lie down at all. Hmph.
Those were some pretty long sentences with a lot of parentheses. Oops.
Now I am waiting for spring break. Waiting. Still waiting.
SPRING BREAK IS GOING TO BE SO WELCOME. Haha.
Also, if you remember this Chrysler (this dude):
I have now drawn and colored his female counterpart Lydia.
Her eyebrows are a different color from her hair because she does not have naturally blue hair. She dyes it. Unlike Chrysler, who has red hair because he is, er, biracial. Well, Lydia is biracial too (I think). Her mother is Puerto Rican. Chrysler's mother is, um, a fairy.
BECAUSE I CANNOT WRITE ANYTHING BESIDES SCIFI AND FANTASY TO SAVE MY LIFE.
Unless you count a story not yet written***** about a girl who suspects her cousin of being a vampire when in reality he is diabetic. But even that one takes place a long time ago (somewhere between 1850 and 1920) and thus is not relevant to my times. My motto is not "write what you know". Apparently it's "write whatever you can get away with".
Until I got Lydia's lips right she looked like Peter Pan. Why is my female character less "pretty" than my male character? (Don't answer that.)
Well I have nothing more to say except this: My lab teacher and I were wearing the same kind of tennis shoes today******.
...I didn't say it would be anything interesting.
Supper is on so it is TTFN

* Oooh, FORESHADOWING!
**Ooooooh,
more FORESHADOWING! *dun dun dun*
***I need to remember to make her a thank you card.
****I got over it when I logged into Twitter to weep and complain about how my sister's had rabbit died unexpectedly on Saturday and I read Neil Gaiman's latest update, which explained that
his father had died unexpectly on Saturday. I thought " Why do I feel like this is not really worth complaining about any more?" and did not post any more whiny updates. Everybody remember, when you're having a bad day, this novel concept:
Somewhere out there, someone else's day sucks even more than yours. Count your blessings and eat something with sugar in it and cheer up.
*****Except for the first chapter, which sucks.
******Hers were at least four sizes smaller; possibly five.

Aww! She's so per-ty! I especially love the coloring on her eyes, lips, and cheeks =D And don't worry. In my expert opinion, I find her more pretty than he is =D
I think the correct term is, um, bi-species? Bi-special? Yep, he's all kinda os special!
@Faithful_Spot - Thank you! lips are cheeks are always my favorite part to color :D especially after I discovered the idea of making them shiny. And I am liking bi-special. That is a good word. Er, phrase. Compound word.
*HUGS*
dude see you can totally draw I KEEP TELLING YOU
also "Why is my female character less "pretty" than my male character?"
GARDIN AND TANUS
@Sadomasochistic_SLINKY - lips AND cheeks, that is
Most excellent drawings indeed.
I'm very sorry about Chonny.
I don't buy the thing about "think aboutsomeone else's day/life/home/meal being even worse than your own". We feel what we feel within our own lives. Occasionally something happens to broaden our world considerably, which changes our perspective about stuff that bothers us, but that doesn't do away with whatever it was that was hurting us in the first place, it just puts it into a bigger world. It does help overcome tempest in a teapot tragedies like a broken nail or whatever the stereotypical shallow teenage crises are, but if you're hurting over something you really cared about, go ahead and hurt and talk about it.
@Roadkill_Spatula - Well, I didn't really mean it in terms of trying to lessen the importance of one person's tragedy by pointing out that another person had a worse one. I was thinking more of a bad day in terms of attitude or feeling grumpy. Sometimes "it could be a lot worse" really does help you adjust your attitude and feel better.
Why is my female character less "pretty" than my male character?
Not true! She's very pretty. And your shading is amazing. I wouldn't be able to do that.
Is the green dude a zombie?
Just curious.
@Roadkill_Spatula - no. he's not a zombie. he's an alien/part fairy
@Sadomasochistic_SLINKY - That raises interesting questions about genetics.
Your themes/drawing never cease to amaze me.
if you were a children's book illustrator i'd buy 10,000 + copies od your books.
^_^
@pinkirby3 - Aww, thank you!
