Something... scary!

So... I haven't done too much drawing recently. I've done random doodles here and there but my schedule is slowly getting more hectic. Class demands lots of study time outside of the classes.

HOWEVER I did make something to share with you, my avid readers.

That's it for tonight, unfortunately. I have to study a bit more, then sleep.

That longer post I promised!

Another lengthy semester begins and the weather has been flip-flopping since I returned to the university. When I first came up, it had started to warm up, but not a nice run around in shorts and t-shirts warm up weather. More like gloomy overcast raining then misting weather. In case you don't know what the weather is like when I say "misting", it means that it's not raining but the fog is so heavy with water that you are walking through a giant mister all day. It's not wet enough for an umbrella by any means, but perhaps a hood to keep your head a bit drier as the water will accumulate steadily. The weather is changing to cold again, however, which means I get to sport my new jacket that I received at Christmas. It's so warm, yet light, and is roomy enough to slip a vest under for extra warmth. And, bonus, it's purple!

But enough about the weather. On to other things, such as the character contest I had going for awhile. I decided to hold off on that until I fill you in better on the character opportunities available. I realized I sort of jumped the gun on that because I have not presented much information about the characters that I have! A wide range of possibilities were available, and I realize that that is my own fault. Too much too soon. I will bring it back at some point, however.

Also, I'm considering removing the art page since it is easier to post my art to deviantArt. The only problem is that only members can comment on the art. So, some feedback is in order for that decision... But I'll probably post some pics right to the blog once I figure out how to make my own watermarks...

Oh! And something else I want to try (try being the key word) to do is do a weekly comic of some sort for the blog, likely containing the not-so-familiar characters of Samantha (who does resemble me greatly), Flowerfluff the magic pony (and who is masculine), Maplesap, and some others. A bit of background on these fellows: Samantha is based off preteen me and a story that I actually started back then, warped and changed as it may be. Flowerfluff was originally a girl, but so was everyone else in that version. I understood girls best, so I wrote about girls. Until one day I remembered that there were males in the world as well. Maplesap is still girl and is Flowerfluff's mate. More character history will come as they appear and as I actually start this all... Anyhow, I am going to try to post these on... Sundays or Saturdays. Some weeks it may only be a short strip, others a page or even two. It all depends on school.

School... I'm supposed to be doing Physics homework right now. And preparing for various other schooly things...

Toodles!
