The Honor Spren

Yeah. I'm also still getting used to using a Wacom.

I just realized I've become a lurker. I'm totally caught up on every thread I follow, but I just don't have anything to say . . . Also, I made this and I already posted it on my art thread, but I'm super proud of it, so: Yay for my second digital portrait ever! (First one I didn't even know how SAI worked, so it doesn't count)

I made a thing It's Eneless. it took me 5 hours.

. . . Twi

I haven't been as active on my OC thread, because I've been drawing some of outernet friend's OCs instead. This one's name is Merial. And her name is Faye.

I need to know. DOES EMMET GET A CAMEO??

I have digital valentines for all of you! There's no way to label them so you can just . . . mentally claim one for yourself. I guess. This has been valentines. Thank you.

I have something similar, but not quite! Back in Florida, my family would always have a Valentine's Day party with our other homeschooled friends. It was pretty much just hanging out with friends+candy, but this year we're hundreds of miles away from all those people. :/ To commemorate the occasion, I'll probably just give heart shaped pieces of paper with puns written on them (e.g. We'd make a great pear) to my seminary class.

@Quiver Ahh I'm so sorry! I finished this Saturday night, but forgot to post it. I have no idea if this is what you vaguely pictured, and I get the feeling it probably wasn't, but I had fun drawing it. Regarding decisions on her appearance, before I started drawing her, I selected a random (skin colored) marker and based her ethnicity around that. In anime, pigtails = childish or immature, hence her hairstyle. You said she's a fan girl but for epics, so I kept that in mind while designing her outfit. When I was looking up reference photos for her hoodie, I saw a short sleeved one and I really like how it looked. It's a light green because I couldn't find my dark green pencil. I know a skirt isn't very practical, BUT I WANTED TO DRAW A SKIRT, DAGNABIT. Also it's purple, because my 7yo sister was watching me color this and told me I should make the skirt purple. For the camera, I just googled "old cameras" and copied one of the results onto paper. 乁(ツ)ㄏ

Here's me trying out Paint Tool Sai: I just painted something super simple, but it really helped me to get a hold of how the program works. I like it a lot.

We spent the evening looking at Sanderson memes on Pinterest.

I don't know if any of you have seen this yet but . . .

Please, if you are not directly involved in the recovery and cleanup from Valentine's Day, stay off the roads to make room for those who are. This Valentine's Day, as all Valentine's Days, will not succeed in bringing our city down. This Valentine's Day, as all all Valentine's Days, will soon recede into painful memory, fading with time, until another foul Valentine's Day is upon us again.

I could be board member Not-Allowed-to-Date-Anyway-But-It's-Not-Like-I-Know-Enough-People-to-Go-Out-With-Anyone. I heard that position is usually open.

I'm back from a visit to Florida. While I was there, it almost felt like I'd never left. Nothing had changed, except me. I noticed things that I'd never thought I would miss, like all the stupid little trinkets I've had on my dresser forever, or that one flagpole that's probably 40 feet tall. When I walked into my house and saw that everything looked a little shorter than I remembered, I almost cried. But I also realized that when I do go back to Florida for good, I'm going to miss things from Virginia, like the library, my seminary class, my young women's leaders, and dryer weather. I felt just a little bit homesick when I finally came back to the place I've called home for 13 years. . . . Why is it like this?

Thank you, I'm glad that you do. @Edgedancer Here we have Voridgaze considering if getting up is really worth it. I didn't really know what a long cloak is supposed to be, so it's actually more of a flowing dress? Also, everyone (including me) likes to complain about how hard hands are, but no one ever talks about how difficult the feet are.

Ugggggh . . . Hands @Oversleep For this one, I wouldn't be too surprised if you asked me to redo it (though you'd have to wait in line after Pinnacle Ferring). I had no internet when I drew this and couldn't look at your description. So I know it's off. The eyes are the wrong color, the pants are lighter than they should be, you never said anything about headphones, etc. . . Sorry.

Did I ever tell you about when I was 12 and wore purple eyeshadow on a daily basis? Those were dark days. @bleeder I'm totally late, but:

I assume you mean my drawing skills and not my coloring skills, since that was my first time ever using the markers. But thank you, it means a lot when people say that. Here's my second go with these things, and I must say, I'm rather proud of those hands:

Thought I'd pop in here and show off my new Copic markers. Eight whole markers to start off my collection! I wish I had a green though . . . 乁(ツ)ㄏ

I feel like Cultivation is the one shard that Harmony could theoretically add to his inventory without becoming super off balance.
