Just shortly after me joining deviantART (which I like because I get so many comments on my pics...), I did a pic exchange with talesofeternia. I thought it was weird that she wanted a picture of my sister's character, Ryerson McGill ( "...because he's HOT!!!" ). Nonetheless, I drew this picture for her (and for my sister, technically speaking :D ) of a sexay Ryerson sitting on the cursed blue box (but it's not comped this time... =p) looking very adorable :D Hee hee. I'm very proud with how this one turned out :D I love his left leg, for some reason... :Þ Hee. Ryerson's such a doll :D

  This is just a surprise pic which I did for the überly-nice patchworkpuck, a deviant who comments on a LOT of my stuff at deviantART. She made a comment once that rats rule (:D !!) and then directed me to a pic of her character Squeak. So, what the hell, I decided to draw her, just 'cause I'm a nice chica and like making people happy :) I really like how the character itself turned out, but I definitely overdid the BG... that's what I get for installing new filters on my computer :D Hee hee. At least she liked it :) So much so that I got my own surprise pic back from her :D Hee hee! Would that be considered a pic exchange? ;) Hee.

  My second pic exchange with a deviantARTist, this one is of Zap for Cynthia Beehr, AKA nueva-paz, who drew me a very cute picture of Erica in return :D Zap is a very cool porcupine with electricity ability or something very similar. I love how this one turned out, albeit the pose is a tad girly. I thought it turned out too dark, but Cynthia thought it looked just fine :) I'm very happy :D And he's not supposed to be smiling... Meh, ah well. Good pic anyway. :D

  Oh my gosh, it's amazing how many people who I used to talk to ALL the time way back when that I run into on deviantART! :D! This pic exchange was with one of those friends that I have happily reunited with. Here's Desmondona's main avatar, Dessie, for our pic exchange. I thought this was cool because I had previously done an exchange with Dessie about 2 years ago when she was a regular on Side 7 (remember the 3 picture pic exchange?), so I already had a few pics left from that last one for reference. Merf, and I like this one much better than the first one I drew for her, so it's all good. Hee. I love her pose and the simplicity of the background. Hee hee :)

  This is the first version I did of my deviantART ID tag. Upon uploading it, I realized it was WAY too big, so I made a second one (below). Yeah. Fear my scary webcam pics... =Þ

  This is the second version I have done for my devART ID tag. I think I like this one better, actually, but I don't like how much of my ucky RL face you can see... =Þ Fear me.

  Here's the picture of Ratfink that I drew specifically for the devART ID tag. I really think she's cute :) I love the colouring... it's gotton a lot better in the last few months, methinks :) I like her pants the best.

  This is just a cute picture I did that was meant to be an ID tag for either SLWP or devART (I don't remember which, actually). Fear my SD cuteness as the crew surrounds a paper thing with cupcakes and flowers on the bottom... Hee. The paper thing, flowers, and little images on the bottom corner are done in my first attempt at PrismaMarkers, which I yoinked from my sister when I went home in July :). I really like this, but I have to do something with it, yeah. :)

  This is just a random doodle of Erica I had lying around for a long time because I didn't really like it. It's one of those "done at 3AM crap" doodles I do WAY too often. Merf, I decided to finally colour it, and I guess I can now say that it looks much better than the pencilled version, thankfully. I think it still needed work though... her body looks too long, IMHO. Yeah.

  Here's another old pic that I'm not too fond of and therefore took awhile to ink and colour. It's a picture of Ratfink wearing a cute orange top and hat, all ready for the summer. I think her head is too small and her breasts too high up, but other than that, this one is also one of those ones that look better in colour than pencilled.

  This is a really old pic that has a story behind it. A long while ago, my version of the future was to have Noah and Calico resolve their differences (and both mature mentally) and marry. They have the twins, Alex and Zandria, and just before their 16th birthday, their father passes away. Yes, the twins were orginally created with Calico in mind as their mother. And Noah was supposed to die before the twins were 6. But at the time I drew this, I really had no timelines set up for the death of Noah (who becomes the Soul Guardian in the Afterlife). Yeah. So anyway, y'all now know who the twins' mother is (though I might change it, unless Jess doesn't mind...). This picture is supposed to represent that loss of Noah to the young Katt-Lightshadow family, and their weeping. He, now as the Soul Guardian, is watching over them, all the while confused himself as to why he had to die so young.
   I rarely colour pictures in marker (namely because I suck), but after playing around with Jess' Prismas, I can't get enough of doing it! This is done in both Prismas and Crayolas, with a PrismaBlender Marker for the duller-looking parts. I especially love Soul Guardian, who I think I coloured just beautifully with the markers... I like his stylized wings... :D Hee hee. And I love Calico's hair, albeit a bit too dark. Hee. Very good picture IMO. Hee hee. I hope y'all like it :)

  Wee! More marker fun! I recently bought two new sketchbooks that I so DESPERATELY wanted to draw in, and try out Jess' PrismaMarkers in. Here's the one I drew in the bigger one of my Red Dwarf avatar, N.P. Rimmer, my nummy hologram with the wacky suits :) I truely worked very hard on this one, because I wanted to make his suit look shiney without the aid of pencil crayons. Lookit! Look how good this is!! I'm so proud of myself! Y'see, I've discovered that I can colour great with PrismaMarkers, but crappy with any other marker brand *noddles* His suit doesn't look überly shiney or anything, but it did turn out much better than I expected. I really like his face, though. It's the best thing about the pic. I like how I drew his eyes and the slight tilt downwards of the head. Woo, getting too into this pic, methinks. Erf. Anyway, its a very rare successful marker piece :) I love my Rimmer :)

  Here's a marker pic I did of Ratfink in my smaller sketchbook that I bought. You can SO tell it's meant as a rough test pic... it's not drawn very well, but I think I was successful in the colouring :D Gosh, I need to get myself a set of these markers! I love how they colour on sketchbook paper. They don't soak through as much as on bond paper, so it looks a lot brighter :) *noddles* Actually, I'm more impressed with the fact that they make the colours for my characters in markers... :D Hee hee... Crappy drawing, but nice pic. :)

  This is the last of my marker coloured fun... :( Hee hee. Here is a beautiful picture of the Child Soul with an ever-watchful Soul Guardian in the background. I am so happy with how nice this turned out. I like that I coloured just the FG in markers and the BG in pencils. And I love the way Child is drawn. He is so cute :) I had wanted to do a rear-view of the Guardian namely because I wanted to draw a lot more wings than body, so that's why he's backwards. I love how I drew his wings though... Hee hee. I forgot a few things (he's supposed to have a strap going down his back around his wings), but that's alright. I'm still very happy with how this picture turned out. *noddles* Yay! And I'm very happy that I didn't ruin this one with a god-awful compped BG. :D

  Wee! Pictures of my dragons! There's a lot of them today, so I'll try to space them out :) Here is a cute pic I drew a long while ago of my dragons Celeste and Tu Long, who are best friends with each other. Celeste's just got her arm ... err, WING, around her friend, appearing to give him advice. I think this one is really cute and well coloured. I like Cel's feet :) Hee hee.

  This is just a random doodle of Tu Long the Earth Dragon. I can't seem to draw any really good pics of him... Merf. Oh well. This one was drawn to show how his front feet are drawn (his "thumb" is supposed to be in the middle of his palm, as opposed to the side). I like this one, though, except his head is too small. Erf. Good colouring job, anyway *noddles*.

  Wai! I really shouldn't draw cutesy pictures anymore... I gross myself out... eeep. Anyway, here's a disturbingly cute picture of my dragons Tu and Celeste superdeformed. Look! Arm pudge *pinches Tu's arm pudge* Hee hee! Actually, they look more like baby dragons than SD dragons... I have to find a way to draw them so you can distiguish between the two. Merf. Aw, but I love this picture! Celeste is really cute :D But Tu's front feet look like doggie paws, though... Erf.

  This is just a random doodle I did of my Human character Natasha Madrid. It's not amazingly awesome or anything, just a doodle to play with a new hairstyle. Erf. And everyone fear my filter fun! >:D Hee hee. I don't remember how I did the BG, but it is little shards of the actual drawing blurred and faded into the blue background. Yeah, I thought it was neat. Something different, I suppose. :)

  Woah, it's a blast from the past! XD Here's a char I don't draw to often: it's the youngest Lightshadow siblings, Elizabeth, sitting on yet another one of my badly-compped boxes... I just felt like drawing Lizzy, just 'cause I haven't drawn her in awhile. Yeah. I like this picture, except you can SO tell I tried WAY too hard with that cruddy box and shootty BG. Ugh. Me and my DANG filters... Ah well. Nice pic anyway.

  I wasn't really sure if this was an adorable picture of Noah-Paul as a child, Noah-Paul the Child Soul, or of NP superdeformed (even though they ALL bloody look the same ¬ ¬), so I decided it's of a young Noah-Paul. :D Either way, he's über-cute, and nicely coloured. Yay!
