Screnzy fail + boredom at work...

So yeah, by no means did I finish my Screnzy, but on the bright side, I was able to further develop the story idea and characters. Like I actually drew most of the main characters, which helped so much in the writing part- it's just so much easier to write about them when you know exactly what they look like.



I really like how Scarlett's hair color came out. Oh, colored pencils... I had to mix several to get the right shade. FYI, crossbows are really hard to draw.




Ah, Heather, my villain, came out perfectly. This is exactly how I picture her looking. It's kind of funny, I had started drawing this intending to draw one of the male characters, but it came out as Heather. And somehow, she also decided to have glasses... Anyway, here's one more drawing- Alicia, Scarlett's best friend.



If you want to see more, check out my Deviant Art account. Anyway, I'm at work right now (which basically involves me being paid to sit at a desk for three hours doing nothing), so I've decided to make a list. This idea came to me the other day when I was watching
Rogers and Hammerstein's Cinderella (you know, the one with Brandy in it) with some friends.

Things I've Learned From Musicals

1. You know you've found your true love when you start singing and some random stranger starts singing in harmony with you.

3. Gang wars can be fought using snaps and dance.

17. Anything directed by Tim Burton can be referenced to Harry Potter.

18. All animals can sing and dance if they so choose.

19. Don't ever feed plants.

Well I shall leave you with that for now. This list will most likely be added on to next time I'm bored.
