hoooooomg I don't EVEN know where to start xDDDD Small I guess, lol Don't worry about my hand, really xD It was my fault anyways, lol It only smarted for a little while 8) I'm like, the most tremendously clumsy person anyways (Seriously, to the point that Baphmet says should we ever live together she's going to go round and baby-proof the house xDDD) Alternatively if any Twilight fans exist on here, I make Bella look quite graceful Ahem, what? Twilight fan, not me not me *cough* aheh... So.... There's more??!! xD OMG I don't how I'm gonna survive this xDDD <3 <3 If that is the tip of the iceberg, I am... I am QUITE keen on what lies beneath Self inducing myself into a heart attack sounds lovely xDD <3 <3 also, lol I'm glad I'm not the only one changing my desktop like, every night xDDD My mp3 player has been bouncing around so much, I wish I could just install a friggin desktop slideshow on it xD Which is what I'm well on my way to doing with the PC 833 I love everything you draw, homg so SO so damn much <3 WOW. I have shocked myself xD I gotta say, I ADORE Raine, she's so much fun - this must be the first time in recorded history that I have ever made a character less mean. God, no one I know would even believe this xD Hell, Baphmet and I nearly got into it over Radu cause I was making him a little too ah... psycho I guess xD Hey, my opinion is that if you're that dead sexy looking, and you wear a continuously bored expression, you're probably not the friendliest guy on the planet xD There is a trend there, I know it xDD Bored=Jerk But like really, I feel kinda bad now xD I rather gleaned that she had an attitude, which I absolutely loved, and unfortunately never really got to show off much (Since I always put her around John, lol) That's okay, I think I made up for that a bit in the stuff I posted tonight 8333 I'd love to hear more on her, really. I like... have no idea what sort of powers she has or anything xD It's kinda sad. Otherwise I'd have drawn her going on all at it xD But I decided to play it safe and have her just do normal witchy things - divination, what have you. Okay, before I EXPLODE. YOU are a MIND READER xD I just about died when I saw your picture of John on the horse asopdfkhasldkhak!!!! I have had a concept in my mind that so very nearly mirrored that, all during the past week xDDDD I'm like, complete epic failure at drawing horses, and what with the mild arted out feelings of the last couple days I just never got him to look right. But yeah, I SO totally wanted to draw him riding into town or something, looking all like a bat out of hell I am ever so pleased to see my idea come to life, trust me it was way better your way xD I LOVE his faaaaace D8 Oh god, why is it that I have such lust love for psychotic lunatics, the crazier the better??!! oh god, his face is just like liquid sex here xD *cue another blow to Igor lulz* Oh I do love me some crazy mofos.... HOO. Ahem, back to rational thinking xD lol, I am just so sure that our pyromaniac sinister friend John here just LOVES everything flambe'd But gosh, he looks so damn cute over that steak xD I swear, I'm growing to love him as much as I love Igor <3 (and dear lord that is SAYING something xDDD) He's so adorably deranged looking 8) (I think I have problems... xDDD) Coven Lovin' xD I'd love this for the title alone if anything xDDD homg, you drew me all sexy xD I like... I don't know who I'm looking at more, poor John or me xD (Vain? Me? NEVER!) aargh, I chuckle every time I see this xD Oh John you SO secretly are just delighted <3 <3 lol and you beat me AGAIN, I was planning on drawing Mercredi soon xD Though that's more to the effect of her and her daughter antogonizing Igor, lol Anyways, HA xD This very nearly made my wallpaper for the evening (Then I saw Hell Rider *nosebleed*) This is so totally my favorite thing ever xD *cue up another strike for Igor 8DDD* Okay, again with the mindreading xD I seriously think we've developed some sort of psychic link, lol How on earth you could POSSIBLY use my favorite song EVER in describing the Igor sketches *Which shush you, they look AWESOME, I dunno what you're even talking about xD* Like seriously, that was totally like... my theme song there for a while xD YOU BLOW MY MIND xD In an excellent excellent way <3 I love all the John and Raine sketches, I'll be damned if I just haven't completely fallen for those two. I had also debated the other method of witch killing (moar mind reading, you say?) and I had also ultimately decided that he would prefer burning for 1) the fact that he can keep playing with his favorite toy for as long as he basically wants and 2) the biblical implications that apparently fire is cleansing. (Though I am still sorely tempted to have him do that water test on her - If she drowns, she's not a witch, and if she doesn't then she gets burned 8DD What effing lunatics!!) D'aww, I bet in his own....... special... special way he misses her when he's not around xD I wonder how often he comes banging down her door? lol, I gotta say Raine is made of some damn tough stuff, I woulda moved my butt somehwere the hell else xD (Though knowing me, I'd secretly like the attention as much as he did. I must be as bad as him somewhere deep down, lol) Ooooh, whoa... Gosling DD8 God I need to work on backgrounds. In theory they seem so easy. How is it one can happily draw psycho lunatics burning people and all manner of other things, but at the same time is completely damned by a simple chair? xD This is holycrapamazingawesomesauce stuff! (Indeed, Lourdes did put it so well xD If I could read German I would surely sing with her, lol) He's on my list of other characters to draw When.. I like, stop fangirling over John xD (Who knows when that will end? lol maybe NEVER xDD) Yeah. This is repetitive, but lord. I love your characters so much. They are so human (And btw, I've done the same Sue Litmus test you have, I have a really hard time seeing Raine falling under the category of 'BURN IT' xDD I'm so darkly curious now, lol) But really. Despite the fact that I know little to nothing about Raine herself, your art of her speaks columes, really. You can see that she's strong willed, she doesn't take crap, she has an attitude. You also see that she's very solitary (Indeed, I love what you said about her valuing her few companions, and it warms me deeply that Juno would be esteemed enough to be among them <3) And I find her heritage fascinating. She and John both are like... wannabe bastard children xD At least Raine was born out of genuine love, as opposed to Johns psycho mother just trying to latch onto what she was clearly losing. It's a shame those two, I bet they have more in common than they'd ever want to admit. They really remind me of Yin and Yang. I'd definitely say you've achieved making characters that people can relate to, indeed, I can't imagine not having them be part of my little fandom life now. They both inspire amazing (or just... sometimes really cracky ideas xD) into my mind. They're equally as entertaining serious as they are when they're funny 8) Alright! Let the art ping ponging begin! Or.. continue, rather xD I love having like, a specific objective for every night now. Like you, this is a rare wonderful joy, and I think I've desperately needed it lately <3 I think you understand how happy this makes me =) Seriously, I like, squee when I see that you're on x33 (stalkerish... I know... xDDD) Also, I apparently was going for a theme tonight xD Tonights posts are for Raine, who finally gets a smidge of revenge against John > alu87.deviantart.com/art/ThrowDown-119620208Crazy Throw Down, you said? xD Well here you have it, lol As you will see in these posted this evening, I have developed a penchant for putting John in amusing/dorky clothing xDD God he is such a dork xD Poor thing's gonna get it coming to him though HA xDD You'll eat those words, Johnny boy... hee hee... >83 alu87.deviantart.com/art/Two-Witches-Part-2-119620447Since there was apparently concern for poor Juno Worry not, she's a maniacal survivor at heart, and will more than gladly stoop to blackmail and her special Artist status to get what she wants I feel bad for poor Raine here though, she like just hung around while Juno was threatening John, I guess xD alu87.deviantart.com/art/Old-Switcheroo-119622421Umm... Yeah, I have no idea xD Hooray for that I had the time this evening to color a few of these, lol Probably inspired by my fun at Johns Wardrobes' expense Yey magically tailored perfectly fitting clothing And apparently that their clothing probably smells a little funky (I don't doubt their washing habits xD However, when you're constantly surrounded by/buring into soot and ash, the smell prolly clings after a time xD Gonna need some Febreze for that one xDDD) alu87.deviantart.com/art/Stewed-Jerk-119622559He's lucky the recipe doesn't call for dashed or cubed pieces of Jerk D8 This is the doodle that kicked off todays little art binge You lot can make your own guesses for Raine's ultimate plan on this one xD It's so nice to see John get some for a change > alu87.deviantart.com/art/Peasant-John-119623351The best for last x333 I wanted to draw John in something to show off some of his chest. A peasant outfit seemed... oddly appropriate xD He's trying to blend in with the Village People villagers His pose is so feminine, I'm sorry xDDD Poor gay-tastic John, wheeoooops.... Also I totally made him a wee bit too slender her >>; Oh well, too late now xD Major points for the lucky winner to guess whose peasant outfit his is modeled after Even though I kept his colors, lol End note: I laughed really hard, Lourdes when you said that John was blessed over 'Coven Lovin'' xDDD Because.... he most certainly will think he's about to be dragged into the pits of hell by his ankles (In a sea of ecstacy, he'll never admit, LOL) *EDIT* Hooray, I finished it in time!! alu87.deviantart.com/art/Raine-Your-Ashes-on-Me-119638914I've had this in mind for what feels like ages, I drew it out and inked it yesterday and I just finished coloring it. John loves Raine... in his own unique and special way D8 Yes, the pun on her name was intentional. ... When you think about it, this subject matter is really extremely disturbing DDD8> Raine put it best herself - 'John... has problems' I suppose this is his final joy before the night is really over and everyone goes home to leave him to his sad lonely self. And uh, before Raine rolls up out of the ashes herself >>;

Well said Juno! And BTW, you can sing along with me, is the last movement from Beethoven's Symphony Nº9, come on, it would be sweet for Gosling!
In Throw Down, I'm going for Mr. Igor, totally, sorry John! ;D Stewed Jerk is amazing, I love the idea, so funny, he he he! And Old Switcheroo is so creative, the look on their faces are priceless!!! ;D
LOL, second part of Two Witches is so true! Certainly, you and Raine had won this battle, but beware, you haven't won the war yet!!!
Now, for the last picture, I have no words... It simply beautiful, yes, beautiful...
... Excellent job Juno! ;D

Ooooooh my effing GOD woman! I swear if your art was alcohol I'd be in some kind of liver failure right now! Just holy bejeezus! *has such a massive freakin seizure over here* Ahhh, deep breaths deep breathes.. must get through this halfway coherently XD She might not survive she says. Guess that makes two of us then because argh just everything you do.. you don't even know <3 I swear death by art just looks better & better each day. X) And yes, tip of the iceberg is so so true. Oh if only you knew what loveliness horrors await! We're so going to Avada Kedavra each other, it is so true XD Might take me a little while to post it though. Only because I can't stand to let what I have in mind go as a sketch. It's one of those things I'm just going to HAVE to make decent for you. The subject matter deserves it entirely too much. <3 Speaking of which, thanks to you my goal this week is to make a new screen saver. It's seriously going to be like the all John network over here now haha. Oh but I wouldn't have it any other way. I really wouldn't <3<3 Ahh and please - don't you dare feel bad about Raine! What you've done with her is so so so SO beyond perfect! I really can't stress that enough. You read her so incredibly well. It's like it comes so naturally to you! When I said she was meaner beforehand all I really meant was that she was a bit more fearless & prone to lashing out I think. And that isn't to to say she still isn't, but thanks to you I feel like I have a much firmer grasp for what boundaries she has on it now and when she would be that way rather then just 'oh this is her personality so therefore she's that way all the time'. Trust me, it's a little hard to explain but it's like you've taken what ideas I had for her & helped polish them all up into something much more refined finished & beautiful <3 It just feels like I can make much more sense of her now (if that makes sense?) Anyway, I couldn't be happier seeing all the ways you bring her to life. She's still the perfect picture of what I want her to be just even moreso <3 Also, I'm so very relieved you & Lourdes don't really see her as being too sue-ish. You two are so sweet & kind. And not that I have anything against that kind of thing or anything. Each to their own really <3 My biggest concern was really just more with making her too cliche above anything else. When I originally did the litmus test it just seemed to me like she ended up falling into a lot of stereotype trappings that, at the time, I never recognized. Nothing grandiose or anything like that though. Just dumb little things like are her colors derivative of a canon character, does her personality reflect your own in some ways, does she have a name relating to nature, if so is it spelled uniquely for a special reason, is she a hybrid of some kind who has some kind of obnoxious life/death power, is she part royalty, etc.. Anyway, after reading it I was just kind of like; aww craaaap XD But meh if nothing else I guess it just helps me keep things in perspective a bit more. Not that any of this stuff is exactly serious bizzness or anything but I like to at least try to avoid cliches where I can.. even with hobby characters XD Anyway, it makes me so very happy that you two don't see her a fulfilling a lot of horribly bad character traits.. or at least not the kill it with fire ones. haha It's so true though, she is a lot like me in many ways but it was only for the purpose of trying to make her a bit three dimensional. She honestly doesn't have crazy powers or anything of the sort. Just the coming back out of the fire thing & whatever else she's learned through her studies. I did toy with the idea at one point of making her blood have some kind of youth/healing/fire properties once a year (on the date of her mothers death) but I still don't know if that's just too over the top or what. Anyway, I'm so happy to know she succeeds as a human-ish character to you... even if only in very small ways. But honestly, everything you just said describes her more then perfectly Juno. <3 Especially her being tough, strong willed & solitary. I couldn't have put it in words it better myself or.. at all really. It's so strange. When it comes to describing traits in writing I can't for the life of me think straight but when I draw it just... comes out. I don't know. It's so wierd. It's like the only way I can ever develop a feel for anything is to just constantly draw it over & over? I'm ecstatic to know that those Raine doodles were actually able to read though! I just.. wow. I mean God you have no idea how insanely happy that makes me to know. I honestly didn't think my chicken scratch translated to anyone but myself XD But augh God.. thats so wonderfully fantastic to know it communicates so well. I'm so glad though honestly, I think that kind of thing just comes natural to you anyway. It's that crazy mind link bond thing again I swear <3 XD Speaking of which I gotta say my subconsciousness mojo must really be working overtime with the sheer amount of stuff I've managed to unload on these characters of mine. The whole bastard child complex.. I mean wow.. I didn't even realize until you said something just now how I've managed to do that with like every single one of my characters. Even Veneficus... and the other Raine too. Uh WTF is wrong with me. XD It must be something Fruedian I swear.. Also, I know this is the most repetitive thing ever but just to hear you say you adore those two. Again, I can't even tell you how much that warms my heart so MUCH to know. It really just moves me to no end that you'd be so connected & interested in them. Partly because I've just never had anyone feel this way about anything of mine before.. let alone one of my creations. It still just blows my mind but truly touches me all at the same time. The joy you give me saying this ..you just don't even know <3 I'm more then happy, BTW, to tell you whatever you'd like to know about these two although honestly you couldn't have them more figured out XD I swear it comes so naturally to you. It really does! Ah especially John. Yin & Yang.. God you just could'nt have put that better <3 I can totally see this & feel exactly the same way; they're lives really are so similar without them knowing it. And it's so true; John would definitely miss her if she weren't around. I think this is why, like you said, he prefers to burn her over any other method.. even drowning. It's crazy but in a psycho way I think if she were to start drowning he wouldn't be able to stand it & would probably freak out & make some crazy excuse to pull her up. I don't think he could ever stand for her to truly die. She gives him so much personal satisfaction it would be like losing everything he lives for.. or like you said, his favorite toy. Ugh.. John.. you really do have so many problems don't you.. D: Speaking of which I cannot believe the crazy amount of mind linking we share. Jeesh! This is just getting scarey right? XD Seriously it blows my mind over here knowing that you've been planning to draw him on a horse all this time too. And then you mentioning the Disturbia song on top of it all? I had no idea. I just chose the title because I thought it was appropriate really. No clue at all. XD That's just so crazy though! I wish I had an explanation or even words. It's almost insane but so ridiculously awesome! Which, BTW, I so hope you'll still draw him on a horse sometime. I'd would seriously LOVE to see it! <3 And please don't even feel the slightest bad about horse anatomy. Horses are known for being the hardest animals on the planet to draw. Seriously, if you only knew how broken some of the rearing up poses I've drawn in those panels you would think twice before saying my horse drawing skills are anywhere near good XD Please please do your drawing! I'd so love to see it and by love I mean my chest will probably freaking explode <3 XD Oooooh God & speaking of which, where do I even BEGIN?? Woman you your going to BREAK ME! XD I'm telling you I can't think straight over here anymore. It's like I'm completely trashed off all your art. XD It's so intoxicating! Aughh Joooohn <3 Oh i swear I'll never get tired of seeing him -especially- the way you draw him. He always turns out sooo perfect! I swear I don't know what it is you do to him but you always get him so right! So completely right! <3<3 Man I just don't have enough creative vocabulary left to go on about these! They're all so crazy fantastic! XD Augh, throw down! Omg, you're so so good to me! <3 <3 Haha, Poor John.. he really has no idea what's coming to him does he? XD Sorry to say but after that comment he really sorta deserves it D: Oh man I envy Agnes so much It's so great seeing John all pimped out in his crazy outfit, BTW. I'm totally in love with his toplessness whole boxer getup. That little crazy hop dance he's doing is so seriously the best. <3 X) I swear you just have the greatest expressions on these guys! And Juno & Raine too! Oh man, hahah, I swear I laughed so hard at this comic. My God just their faces.. I can not get ENOUGH of the looks you manage to work into them XD I looove Johns little 'D:' face so freakin much! X) And then Juno just letting everything fly. Ahaha oh man. You seriously make the greatest faces I've ever seen! I swear I could just comment on every panel of this thing! I love all the grins & frustration & everything so so SO damn much. And the dialogue too. God your character is just the best. No wonder Raine & her are friends. Their personalities just meld so perfectly! I'm so elated that you did a part two to this, BTW. Raine values Juno far too much to ever want her to share her fate <3 Though by the looks of things I think John maybe has more to worry about XD Oooh God this wins forever. Best oh crap blackmail face ever. He's got to be sooo pissed X) Aww old switcheroo! I love it! <3 Raine actually looks pretty swank in Johns clothes I must say although you're right that they probably do smell like ash & flames D: But then I guess her clothes are far FAR worse. Just Urgh.. febreeze is right. Febreeze and maybe a few hundred thousand odor eaters. Though honestly I'm half surprised John isn't like.. trying to roll around in them all or something. XD As disturbing as he is & all it wouldn't surprise me one bit to find him hanging around her clothesline sometime. Oh man stewed jerk! Hahaha, oh what an entirely fitting come uppin for John. I love this so so much! X) Doubley for the fact that one of Raine's favorite hobbies is also making soups. I swear again with the crazy mind reading powers! <3 This is so completely perfect though! I love how he's just forced to just sit there & simmer among the carrots. Dump in all at once. I so love that XD And I agree it's so good to see Raine finally get back at him. The horse comic I'm working on is something along these same lines. Wow & the best for last couldn't be more right. homg what do I even say? I've seriously run out of a vocabulary here anymore XD Ahhh peasant John! *swoon* Oh I love this so so much even in all his swishy glory <3 <3 His pose is so cute. I just adore the whole check ME out thing he's so desperately trying to pass off. Such an attention monger that one. XD It's so funny the first character I thought of was Gaston when you posted this but I wasn't entirely sure at the time. Glad to know I wasn't completely mental off. XD Oh my God and I just don't even have words for this last one here. No amount of incoherent shrieking could possibly convey the massive reaction I had over this. You have to believe me when I say my heart skipped a few beats on this one because it literally did. I don't even know how to accurately describe it. It's like when you drive over a hill super fast & just hit those couple seconds of 0 g's. Yeah - totally like that XD Aughh but Christ I can't even explain my reaction to you.. you just don't even know. <3 Just the imagery & concept of this whole thing. It's so completely amazing & I love it & you incredibly for it <3 <3 X) Again, I wish I knew where to start. It's all shades of crazy & disturbing & hot? but argh.. it's so perfectly PERFECTLY John. I swear woman, anymore art like this & I'm going to spontaneously com bust over here. Just the whole idea. I mean wow.. that couldn't be closer to his character if I tried. I had never even thought of this either & I'm surprised because again its just so entirely perfect to his character. Totally him. Totally something crazy he would do. I love it! I love it so so SO amazingly much. I don't know if you have a bigger version of this but if you so oh man could you please please send it along? It needs to be my wallpaper forever. XD Ugh.. and John man.. problems just don't even seem to cover it do they? D: And now my favorite part - Art for you X) Let the ping pong battle begin (again!) Man I swear I could just do this forever with you This is so much fun & such an amazing catharsis. I hope you know what you've started because I don't plan on stopping <3 I hope you can forgive me, BTW, for waiting a few days here. You've done so many amazing things here for me.. I mean seriously you've just gone all out here girl. I really can't even begin to tell you how much I truly appreciate it <3 It just feels like thank you barely covers it sometimes o.x Ahh but anyway, I wanted to wait until I could get a hefty art load of my own to attack surprise you with. An effort to try to return all your efforts. <3 <3 I tried anyways.. XD But enough chatter! I Am Shocked & Appalled Sir i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv29/raineart/BuzzKillington.jpgGod I love the idea of dressing up John so much. You really have no idea what you unleashed here XD Cool Down i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv29/raineart/CoolDown.jpgEh, again I hope this isn't too much or anything. I swear it won't ever get worse than this XD Anyway, just a small idea I've been playing around with thinking about the after effects of Raine's death a bit. Being burnt alive I just imagine the whole ordeal would have leave someone pretty exhausted both physically & mentally. So in an effort to work in more flaws for Raine, I decided to give her a few weaknesses (though these are still mostly on the physical side.) Anyhow, I figured it might be interesting if for a 24 hour period after these deaths she would be at her most vulnerable. Maybe not at first given the amount of energy released but after about an hour or so she'd be prone to some sort of crash. Almost in the same way a diabetic person might react. Riding on a real high one minute but then having a complete system crash the next. The results would be similar & would leave her weak, extremely tired, confused (a memory impairment probably similar to a person just waking up) and she would probably also suffer from phantom pains. It's an idea based off one of our family friends actually. He's an old biker we know who lost his leg in a motorcycle accident about 10 years ago. To this day he'll still have moments where he'll have to stop work because he re-experiences what feels like his leg being crushed again. D: Anyway, I just imagine being burned alive the way she always is, Raine might experience some kind of similar mental trauma effect.. like her skins still on fire even though it's not? So anyway, to recover I thought maybe she could retreat to this little place, a nice comforting pool where she can escape to deal with the aftermath & the whole revival process. Like her house, the pool would be also be along the outskirts of town but it's fortunately deep enough within the creepy forest that it manages to remain hidden to all but her. The water there would also be constantly cool since it would basically be from the collected run off of the Transylvanian alps. It would be just what she needs really & also doubles as a safe enough place where she could probably sleep off all the after effects since obviously her house wouldn't be too safe. And no don't anyone worry, John isn't in the bushes there. I swear XD Though I'm positive if he did know about this place his skull would surely implode. XD Out of The Shadows i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv29/raineart/OutOfTheShadows.jpgIgor doing what he does best.. lurking under the cover of darkness & generally being all sneaky & evil. <3 Anyway, this was just me thinking a bit more on Agnes & Igors relationship because I swear I just love those two so much <3 Anyway, to me, it's always seemed that Igor tends to have a lot of respect for those he can't easily win over. So I guess it just made me wonder, well so what happened with Agnes to create those boundaries? I mean I imagine before Igor could ever respect her (in what little way he does) she would've probably had to have proven herself at some point? Anyway since pain is the one thing Igor always understands I figure it would've had to have at least been some kind of tense incident. Anwyay, that said, Igors about to pay dearly for this little stunt. XD With a bit of his own blood probably. D: Guess maybe next time he'll pick something a little more heavy duty then rope especially when dealing with someone wielding something sharp & pointy in their hand. I gotta say I'm really pleased with the expression on Igors face. Reminds me a lot of those fixed predator stares my cats used to have XD I'm not so hot, unfortunately, on Agnes' face though. I think I really messed up those eyes of her o.X It's alright. At some point I really want to re-do this with proper inks & whatnot anyways. I must make it decent for you :3 Pay Per View i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv29/raineart/payperview.jpg.. and what a view it is! Just the three of us gals watching the fight from afar & shrieking like a bus full of retards over girly girl things. X) Lourdes I had so much fun drawing the updated you. You hair style is so cute! <3 And what fight do you ask... X) Old Man This i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv29/raineart/OldManIndeed.jpgIgor proves to John that while he may have a few years under his belt, he's not too old to completely eff someone up put him his place. John better hope he gets out of there soon. It's not looking like that chair has whole lot of life left to it. D: Also, in the meantime, Agnes has been put in charge of Igor's jacket. After all he didn't want to get too much blood it seeing as how the new maid has so many laundry issues <3 8) Eh He'll Be Fine... i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv29/raineart/HellBeFine.jpgEeesh Poor John.. Whatever Igor managed to do he's certainly going to be feeling it in the morning. Guess he should be thankful he was spared at all.. even if it was only within an inch of his life.. D: Igor looks so proud of his handiwork though 8) And yes, don't worry I will be drawing some Duckula soon to make up for this eye trauma XD Also Igor gets a belt because belts are always sexy classy ;D

HHYYYYYYAAAAARRRGH xDDDD MENTAL DEATH homg!!! I... I hayeh.... hah.... My brain, it be broked D8 IIIIIGOOOORRRRR.... hargh, oh John, I feel bad for you, but lord when it comes to nearly shirtless igor... YEEEEEE....... <3 <3 <3 <3 I LOVE YOU, RAINE, marry me plz oh... oh god.... AHEM... yeah God, picking up the wee scattered bits of my brain now xDDD So now I totally have to tell you in depth how much I love all of these Lord Buzzkillington xDD Oh John, what a pretty little dress up doll you are xDD Froofy little mustache and everrrything xDDD homg, I laughed so hard when I saw this X) The look on his face like, seals the deal for me, hee hee Aaaah, Raine... wow, there's so much emotion in this picture, like, you don't even know. (Well, you prolly do, lol whatever) But like seriously, it took my breath away at first. I love what you've come up with for her, in that regard - being burned.... I... I can't even imagine how harrowing that must be. She's very strong - I would live every day of my life in paralyzing fear if I knew that was coming to me again and again. She looks just... just so vulnerable here. You've got it so well, the pain is so eminent. Mental, physical... John should count himself lucky that she's made of the tough stuff. (and indeed, lol that his brains would go esplodey everywhere if he knew about this, hurr) God, I love this one, really, it's so beautiful. I can't say enough how much she and John have touched me so <3 Ha ha ha xD Wow, I really love this one too <3 Agnes and Igor, poor dears, they've been eclipsed by John and Raine, lol And now that you mentioned it, yes, I have seen that exact expression my cat's face SO many times xD And shush, woman, I don't know what you're talking about, Agnes' face is fine <3 And indeed, it is YOUR turn for me to have a more introspective look at my (well... Agnes, lol) characters (Shush, Igor belongs to me for this relationship xD Eat it, Cosgrove Hall) That is so true, I hadn't even thought of that. Poor Igor though, I imagine she'd have had to put the wallop down on him In my own little mental dawdlings at some point during Agnes' life she starts spending more and more time in the castle. She herself can't/won't accept the strange feelings she has around him, and indeed, rather like John she beats herself up about it pretty bad. Mostly in violent vampire killings, what better way to relieve stress, yeah? lol But yeah, that's a very good idea - I'm not exactly sure what she would have had to do to not merit him just... I dunno. I imagine that if they really got into it, I mean like a dead serious fight, it would probably be pretty horrible, cause I don't honestly think Igor would hold back on a woman D8 But he's sneaky though, and Agnes would probably whoop some bum before he even got some chloroform over her beak xD (On an alternate note, would Agnes REALLY mind being bound and tied up? lol) XDDD When I first looked at Payperview, I was like 'Hot damn, that must be some good stuff xD Oh ho, how awesome did I know it would GET, hehe xDDD As usual, I like, adore how you draw me xD I must be like, the most vain person ever, lol Argh, but you guys look so awesome too xD Lourdes, good lord, what a looker! But back to me lol I laugh doubly at this for the fact that I actually have a set of binoculars x333 I need to stop being a jerk and share them though, but it's so haaaaaard xDDD That is so me, hee hee (I look back on myself like I seriously was I a card carrying lesbian? WTF was I thinking??! LOL) hhhoooohh maaan, the gooods 8DDD Oh Igor, don't kill John too hard, there's so much shirtlessness awesomeness to be had 8DD I could... I seriously think I could just stare at this all daaaaay <3 <3 Igor's face wins. Everything. The universe, you name it xD Actually, what might just win slightly more is John going 'Jesus Christ!!' I can't tell you how I laughed, OH how I did laugh xDD Oh you hypocritical bastard, I adore you too much <3 It's a good thing he's got some staying power, lol, that chair looks, ahem, like it's on it's last legs These two need to cage fight... like... everyday xD Is it wrong that everytime you draw Igor with his shirt sleeves rolled up I have the wild desire to lick his arms?? AHHHEEEEMMM 8DDD I have to love on John too, hee he, he looks like... way too good shirtless xD I bet you build up some muscle after a time when you constantly restrain and tie up struggling witches, lol Ah ha ha, the best for last xDDD Good lord Igor, I know John can be a jerk, but really xD He totally had it coming to him, lol And good lord Igor for your chest and stomach and.... hyargh <3 I think I'm melting a wee little bit Art death has never EVER looked so appealing And btw, I laughed like, SO hard at the maid comment xD Lord, you are torturing me with that iceberg thing xDDD And I totally think that my favorite part of this is Igor's just like, WAY nonchalant expression X) I apparently love a man who can do horrifically ruthless things and then essentially look as though he'd just like... batted away a fly xD And Agnes, hee hee. That's pretty bad if she's horrified by the sight of it too, I can only imagine what sort of wretched bloody lump John must currently look like xDD I love how progressively the men are losing bits of their clothing more and more as the days go by xDDD I can see where this will eventually go and I feel a nosebleed coming on 8DD Alright, and back to other things xD Tip of the Iceberg??!!! I so eagerly anticipate this like you can't even believe xD Because I know that it's going to be so rediculously midn blowing amazing that my brains will probably splatter across my monitor xD I totally feel you on the art/alcohol thing, hehe, I'm shocked I didn't place that myself. it's like that joyous period where you're just before falling down trashed and everything is still sorta coherent and just the world seems so right and awesome (I'm a happy drunk xD The world instantly becomes a fairy utopia for me, lol and I am so not afraid to shout it from the streets I typically drunkenly wander, ha ha) omg that you said Avada Kedavra Beware, I dunno if you knew, but I am THE Queen of Harry Potter geeks xD You said that and I was like HAAA!!!! *squee* The mental connection comes through again Oooh yay, that makes me SO happy about Raine <3 I really admire her, truly. I love how strong she is, I swear she and John are like, the ultimate clashing of wills. Some teensy part of me totally wants them to live like, happily ever after one day 8) But anyway, butt out John, this is about Raine xD As I was saying, I am also way happy that I could have a hand in.... I dunno, polishing her up a bit? lol, she was already like, so perfect in my eyes x) And thank you, ha ha, I have been called slightly ah.... intuitive before, if you will. But really, I couldn't feel these things if you didn't put them there <3 And as to her blood-fire thing, I personally think that makes a boatload of sense. I mean, she's part phoenix, and that entails having some very ancient, and I assume very powerful blood in her, so I don't think that's over the top or far fetched at ALL. Indeed, it's a good contrast by what you said for the most part she's on the ordinary side so far as witchy powers are concerned. You know, mentioning unloading onto characters reminds me of something I've long thought of. People consider it sue-ish if a character is slightly based off of yourself, and I think that's utterly foolish. How else would we humanize them? Indeed, all of my favorite characters are that way because they remind me a bit of myself. It's why I love Raine and John and everyone so much. Even my own characters (Poor things never get any love anymore) They're all in some way based on one facet of my personality or another. It's interesting to see what people put into their characters <3 Yours are so full of life, I can't help but think I could understand a bit about you even if we didn't speak (Shudder!) to one another <3 Oooh, I wanna draw that now. John, I could see it, he would just LOSE it if she were in actual death peril. And he'd have such fits over it, such torment because it goes against what he thinks he believes in... Oh John, you're so deep <3 I feel like I've bonded with him in such a special way <3 Thank you and Lourdes just... just so much for bringing him to life. He makes me think (And indeed, I have linked like, four CDs worth of music to him now xD He's on my mind like, constantly) all the time. I love looking into him <3 So indeed, it also brings me like craploads of joy that you say I do him so much justice xDDD When I really love something, I seem to unreservedly go after it xDD And yes, I will have a shot at John on the horse xD I feel better about that now <3 Thank you xD I used to draw horses when I was a kid (Actually looking back I don't know how I didn't discover a slight love on Anthro sooner, and that was all I did as a child) and I was actually decent enough at it that I had things entered into art shows and contests and stuff. We'll have to see if I can dig the inner child back out I don't think she's too far down there, lol Also, about that litmus test I so ran into the same problem. I did it for a character of mine who was a vampire. JEEESH, it's like all vampires autimatically fly into the BURN IT DEAD category. She wasn't even an exceptional vampire D8< I have a very very vampire centric story, and when I did the litmus test for them I was just like 'Screw you, litmus test! You dunno what you're talking about D8<) That is indeed so very very intersting that we're of the same mind (hurr) on just about everything I'm so thankful, really, every single day that I got into Duckula. This sounds all mushy, but I'm happy I met you. I haven't had this much fun in ages and ages <3 My life... argh. I was telling my friend Ashley the other day that even though my financial life is sinking like the effing Titanic, my social life has just been soaring. I've found a bit of popularity, I've met... god, you guys are just the best people in the world. It boosts me up every time I come on here, I can't even tell you. It's like the entirety of the forum just radiates happiness <3 Everyone on here is so unique, and so nice, and it really just feels like a beautiful extension of family <3 it makes me feel better cause I can kind of put things in a bit of a perspective. In all honesty.... I... ah ha, I actually landed myself in a bit of legal trouble recently DD8 That's been the absolute majority of my fretting over money and finances as I rather fancy I don't particularly want to go to jail DDDDDDD8 (Don't worry, what I didn't wasn't bad, indeed, aheh, I haven't murdered anyone or anything xD It was small and it's actually about to be wiped from my record, THANK THE GODDESS, cause I think that's what's hindering my job hunting D8>) So.. being on here cheers me way WAY up xD I hope I haven't just alienated the lot of you >>;; I'm a good person, I swear, times of desperation just drove me to do a few things I shouldn't have *sigh* Oh have I so dearly paid the price... Anyways. But yes, it puts things in a nice perspective for me - I know I'll rise from all of this, and it's already made me a better person. I'm just so lucky and happy that I have this to look forward to eac night <3 Oh my, I nearly forgot xDD alu87.deviantart.com/art/Raine-on-Me-Literally-119869255This was Lourdes' genius idea xD Thank you Lourdes, for it made me laugh very hard when I read your message xD I'll get to that other one you asked me for very soon, I swear xDD alu87.deviantart.com/art/Left-Corner-Pocket-119869331VENEFICUS!! xD I have felt so abslutely terrible for not drawing him xDD So now I make up a wee bit xD This is totally something I myself did at the bar one night *sad... I know xD* I'm so sorry, my Ven is like... so fugly D: At least there's a cheery little John shooting some pool and apaprently winning, in the corner xD alu87.deviantart.com/art/It-was-like-THAT-119869412Actually, this was the first Ven doodle I did, and I plan on coloring it up Cause this is totally how ALL drunks are xD Actually a wee bit inspired from the time my mother and I got drunk together (I must sound like a total lush xD) She was trying to 'break it down' to me as to why exactly she was SO hammered when all she'd had was a few wine coolers. Apparenlt she'd forgotten about the muscle relaxers she'd taken just like, an hour before D: ! Not to mention that was the first time she'd drank in like, 20 years xD So it was rather amusing to have her be all 'It was like THIS, you see.... there was... a .... there was, you see it was like THIS' xDDD *EDIT* Yay retardation on my part xD I meant to get around to this, and yay me, forgot to xDD THANK you so so much for your love for that lasy picture of John 83 That is absolutely effing AMAZING that you would compare it to that wee moment of zero G's xDD Holy cow, that made my night!! That's a hell of a reaction xDD I wish I had a bigger version of it for you, cause if I did, it'd be all yours <3 Unfortunately I cropped it up and sized it a bit too small and I actually had to color it at this size D8 You know what I kinda find the most creepy about this? His mouth is OPEN D8 That's just ten shades of creepy and disturbing! *and moar * Huzzah for things that I think to ask you rereading your post xD Oh well, heh. I was curious about Raine - I take it she revives with ah... no clothes? xD Such a small thing, lol, but I was all like 'Where do the clothes go?!' x) She has a neverending supply of robes and cowls? xD Or maybe she's just got wicked skill so that when she gets back up she's just still got them xDDD MORE YOU SAY? I guess I'll just let these trickle in while you build up your next awesome art attack art stuff for me 8DD alu87.deviantart.com/art/Wolf-in-Necromancer-Clothing-119982385I love how I'll sit down and say to myself 'Alright! Gonna draw like... some Duckula stuff now!!' And then.... these things happen xDD If I'm bastardizing poor John I'll stop xD I have to kind of make myself stop and recall 'Oh yeah - he's still a bloody vicious psychopathic monster' That should be okay though, for I have another comic in mind (And it will likely span quite a bit longer than Circle did) and I plan on... I dunno, regrounding him in my brain xD Rather than me just constantly drawing him doing retarding things xDDD Oh but John would I love you any other way? lolalu87.deviantart.com/art/It-s-Mine-Now-120184370More dumb-goofery I swear, this is building up to be something serious soon, I PROMISE xD Every single time I go to draw something... and this retardation springs from it xD alu87.deviantart.com/art/RAINE-NINJA-120187594Okay, this is inspired by a conversation I had with Lourdes xD Raine, we have decided that you're a ninja. Cause you're never around til we least expect it That's okay, we still love you anyways xD

WOW! You... You drew Mercredi! I'm seriously beyond flattered. (I take it Juno showed her to you? lol) She looks absolutely amazing in your style, too! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I seriously love this, you have no idea! Um, as for her color palette... Her hair is black, and her feathers are white... And her eyes are blue in the way that Disney Ducks have blue eyes, if you know what I mean. As for her dress, color that in any old way you want, I'm really not picky. The dress I drew her in will likely be gray, but I think it might be boring to make that a constant on her, so I don't know about keeping it that way. Maybe purple? In fact, purple is probably good, I have decided. And the picture itself, hahaha. I love what a Frollo complex John has. I'm also glad Mercredi gets to join Raine and Juno in torturing the oppressor of her people. And on one of your others (all of your art is amazing, but I don't have it in me to go into it all), the one with the "soronely" file name... Do I detect a Team America reference there? XD That movie is hilarious, and I can totally see the parallel there, haha! As for your concerns over Mary Sues -- I COMPLETELY understand how you're feeling on this one. I used to worry and worry and fret to the point of ridiculousness over whether or not my characters fell in that category. It doesn't help that everyone has a different idea of what one is, and that there's a ridiculous amount of unfounded hatred towards them. But finally a couple of my friends sat me down and pointed out to me that it really doesn't matter, because it's all about making yourself happy anyways. What's the point in doing this if you don't even like them? I've had a much better time with it ever since. I do know what you mean about wanting them not to fall to cliche even despite them only being hobbies, though. I've actually been feeling much the same way about Mercredi lately, and I'm frankly surprised she seems to be gaining any kind of popularity around here. But I guess we shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth, eh? But for what it's worth, I really like Raine. I think she's well developed; the great thing about characters is that it's also kind of the point for them to constantly be evolving as well. But don't worry about her, because if you do, you'll never be happy. And any aspects of her you're having issues with, they'll come. They will.

Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen! My Raine and Juno, you girls are just and plain awesome!!! You have no idea on how happy it makes me to be here every day, thank you Stacey!, and especially at night to have my dose of awesome artwork here! Seriously after job this is actually, my medicine! ;D Ooh, I don't know where to begging! Raine: I love all your pictures, Cool Down has such emotion! And the ones of the "boxing fighting" are priceless, the last one especially, Igor looks incredible! Ah! Pay Per View is amazing, we 3 look the best team ever! I'm so glad you liked my updated me-character, and you depicted me eating, that is so myself! CD I'm also glad that you liked my portrait of you too, thank you very much! Out on Shadows is very emotional too, I love it, Mr. Igor is totally in character, poor Agnes... Agnes watch out! I hope to see more of your character's Raine, they are fascinating, and your stories are very interesting, keep it up! Juno: oh God! How is that you have a legal trouble??? Girl are you alright? This makes me upset, I can only pray you are OK and that you will get a new job soon! Thanks for the great art of yours, wow Venn looks so funny and John, go John! CD Your pictures came out with much life and you made the ashes one too! LIL! I can't believe it, is so incredible, thank you very much for your kind comments! ;D Thank you very much to both of you girls, you are very kind! PS. Juno, when you said that each time the boys are sporting less clothes, you were speaking of Igor and John, right? Because there is a certain picture, on a certain Meme, of a certain gander whose unique item of clothing he is wearing are his spectacles! *Giggles and blushed* I'm naughty! I should send you both the original scan of the afore mentioned picture... XD EDIT: Now, I got you now Juno! Wow that was amazing! LOL at John, he is all serious! My favourite has to be Juno with Igor's jacket!!! ;D LOL! You are great Juno! Raine Ninja had made my day! ;D

Veeeeneficus!! <3<3<3 -AND- John?! *swoon* I'm in love! <3 Haha, is it the saddeset thing ever wrong of me to totally wish I were at the bar with those two or what? Ah, but who needs to drink when your always drawing such amazing things for me. It's like I'm wasted already XD Ah God, you really do just think of the greatest stuff I swear. I <3 you so much. Haha mental death. You couldn't have said it better. The more John Ven & Igor you draw the more oxygen my poor heart & brain loses. Pretty soon I'll be permanently impaired over here. Impaired by awesomeness XD But it's so true, I truly love everything you do <3 So much I would almost fear a marriage just for the unholy monster we'd end up creating. But then again if it meant unleashing even crazier art powers maybe I could go all octomom after all. XD Speaking of which, you & Lourdes with that comic! Lourdes girl that was seriously the best idea! I love it! Her reforming so quickly like that. I never would've thought of it but haha yes I could totally see the unfortunate repercussions of such a thing. Ahh, you just come up with the greatest ideas. I love it so much girl <3 And it's only made all the more excellent with all those expressions. God just Johns wtf face. That is total perfection. Talk about a righteous buzz kill XD Now I just wonder what he's going to do there, if he's even still consciousness anyway. Interesting question you brought up, BTW, about Raine's clothes. You know I've never thought about that before. Maybe it just works like the Counts transportation powers or something where she'd come back clothed? I really don't know. Uh.. It's the mystery of the phoenix? ... yes that's it. But seriously, I completely missed out on that little detail. Totally blew right by me haha. I guess however it happens, I imagine she'd have to return clothed because .. well.. she already has enough problems XD Then again.. given the alternative, it could explain why Johns always so interested in burning her D8 Oh John. Guess when he's not busy burning & torturing poor Raine he's off shooting pool? Haha, I love this so so much! <3 He's so all 'yeah! In your FACE!' about winning. XD Good for him <3 And Ven! Veeeeen <3 Oh God, I'm so thrilled you drew him <3<3 *does a little happy bar jig* X) And you shush about him being fugly. I adore the way you draw him! <3 You couldn't have nailed him down more perfect. I mean it. I'm just in love here with the way you draw his face, clothes & hair. And his drunken expressions - oh they just win forever. This idea was so cute, BTW. That seems like something Ven would totally be guilty of haha. At least if he's anything like me. Though I can't say I'm guilty of doing this... yet. At some point I know that will probably change though ;D I have to say though his drunken attempts at an explanation hit a little more close to home. Last time someone tried asking me something after a few this is about the same answer they got. XD I was a little more coherent then Ven fortunately but yeah.. concentration.. you can pretty much forget about it. Unless it's on something like the exceptionally beautiful neon lighting then that's kind've a different story.. XD I'm so strange. I'm the type of person where unless I'm being talked to, I'll just get super quiet & lose myself looking at everything & thinking how pretty & happy it all is. Like you said.. a beautiful fairy wonderland I'm so glad you depicted Ven the same way. I always imagined him being a very happy drunk too. Haha, I love all the shots on the table with him. So perfect. I also really love the technical side of this sketch too. Seriously, when I first saw this I was just like whoah! o.x The drawing is so completely fluid. Especially his hair. I wish I even knew how to describe it. The marks are just so lively & confident. The pencils just come across really professional. Not that all your work isn't crazy awesome. I just see so much natural flow in this one. I really love it! <3 <3 Also, don't feel bad in the slightest for not drawing Ven. D: Seriously, there's nothing to feel bad about. You do so incredibly much for me. I appreciate that you would draw me anything period o.x All the art we've shared. You have no idea just how grateful I am to be able to share in this. Us headbutting each other through art is truly the greatest joy I've had in forever and something I've needed for so long now. I hope you (& you too Lourdes!) always know just how completely high you both manage to lift my spirits here. I can't say thank you enough <3 In turn it makes me so happy to know I can do the same for you. I'm so glad our nights here have been able to do so much & that it's been able to get you through your slump. I'm ecstatic, BTW that you were able to find work! I plan to post in your thread actually but in case I don't get a chance tonight (I have work in the mornings) - huge congratulations! It's so wonderful to hear you found something. I'm just exploding with happiness over here for you Aahh & speaking of which Jooohn. <3 Why.. Why must you do these things to me? I see your just getting me back for that whole iceberg thing - I know it! XD Oh man he looks so dead sexy in Igor's jacket. Dead being the secret word here of course. D: Ugh.. I just could not imagine the state of some of Igor's more heavily stained jackets. Not that this would keep me from stealing them his jacket isn't the sexiest greatest thing ever but erugh.. yeah. I'd be ferbreezing the hell out of it .. or y'know soaking it in some bleach forever. Better hope John doesn't check the pockets. He might want to think twice about wearing it. Even though I have to say it does look quite magnificent on him X) I love all these goofy little tard doodles, BTW. Your not bastardizing him in the least. They're hilarious! Seriously, what you talkin bout foo! XD If only you knew half the tardery I draw on a daily basis. Its the only way I get through my day XD Speaking of which, I have quite a few goofy things left I wanna do for him. Just haven't had a chance to yet. But when I do trust me, they'll be entirely absurd. Haha and as far as absurdity goes I can only imagine how indignant Igor there must be. I can hear him now; Lucy! You crazy red head Please M'Lord, I beg of you! I don't WISH to remain shirtless throughout the day! It's that new maid, I fear she's mental!" Then Duckula would just be like; 'get over it lol' Oh how I love expanding on this whole little series. Torturing Igor has never been more fun I swear. But like you said yourself, it's his turn for a change. Ninja Raine! Oh you guys are the best XD I so love my little turtle mask hood gear. She's totally about to drop down on some unsuspecting soul here & kung fu them with a great china wall of text XD. I wonder if she gets her own theme music? But really I can't tell you how entirely appropriate this is for me. I love it Though it does make me feel a bit badly for up & ninja vanishing on you guys. I really don't mean to. I'm so glad you guys still love me regardless. <3 I'm telling you this whole week has done nothing but conspire against me I swear XD I've been anxiously wanting to post for days now but every night it's just been like the fates themselves saying.. nope, not gonna happen ;D Last night mom it was a 3 hour phone call from mom & then the night before the break I took ended with me passing out on the couch & waking up to find every light in the place left on. D: Suck, I was in the middle of finishing a piece & everything too. XD Then the few days before that my wrist hurt a bit too badly from drawing super rendered deer skulls at work. Anyway, I know you guys don't sweat it or anything <3 just saying this whole week.. it's like it's always been something XD But screw you fate. I went & got coffee tonight & post I shall! Haha, that reminds me, I love your 'screw you litmus test' remark God I feel the exact same way. Not to be all baww or anything but it really did feel like the thing had some pretty unrealistic expectations. If the personality type was happy & fun it was considered too idealized but if the character had problems or was upset in any way it immediately fell into the angstiest angst of emo mcangst category. It felt so damned if you do, damned if you don't. And of course, like you said, anything that patterned after yourself seemed to be a huge no no too. I agree with you though, I think that's dumb too. To me it makes perfect sense to look to life when it comes to creating someone. Like you say, it's the only real way you're going to get anything remotely human. I know script writers do it all the time. The book I have on script writing actively encourages looking to life for inspiration. Of course they suggest looking at people beyond just yourself but still.. I just agree with you. The only way to truly have something believable is to look to life in some aspect for it. In my own opinion, the most off putting character types have always been the ones that are clearly an idealized sense of self & flawless to the point where they have no real agenda other then to be the most perfect creation ever. To me it just.. I don't know. Everyone has problems. It's just unrealistic to me for a character not to y'know :/ Anwyay, I really appreciate your thoughts on Raine. I'm so happy she isn't a repellent character. <3 If anything I mostly feel like she reflects a little of myself but also part of my mom too .. like some bizzarro combination of XD Especially the tough as nails part. Jesus I cannot even tell you just how solid all the women on my moms side of the family are. I think that's why I love Agnes so much. She completely reminds me of great grandmother. They really are so alike. My great grandmother is seriously the sweetest most endearing women ever .. she's always offering me a sandwich & telling me how she's putting together Jesus cut outs for the kids at church. But then at the same time it's also the same women who looked at my grandmother last month & told her she better quit her crap or so help her she'll come across the table & punch her in the face. 91 years old too. I'm not even kidding XD But it's funny because grandma said she just rolled her eyes & was all; shut up mom, lol. I have such a colorful family I swear.. It makes me so happy though that you're able to see such strengths in Raine. I had hoped so much to convey that. :3 I want her to be a decently strong archetype without it being overtly so. She has plenty of weaknesses, especially when it comes to John. Clashing of wills. That's such a perfect description of those two. They really are stuck in like this constant contest. Sometimes he wins & sometimes she does. I totally hear you, BTW, on the part of you that wants them to be happy. I'm so guilty of that too. I see so much sadness in both of them. It's like they're stuck in this constant cycle of love hate that you just want them to wake up, get over their issues & be totally happy together. I could never do that though just because I'm such I'm a sadist to my own creations I don't know.. Johns so far beyond Raine's reach & even God's.. I don't know that I could see him ever opening his eyes & Raine well.. I don't think I could see her getting over all those horrible deaths anytime soon either. Would take some real work there or some divine act really. It is sad though, like you say, because in his own psychotic, mind numbing way John really does love Raine. He has a God awful way of showing it of course but if she were gone or in real peril he'd flip his crap so badly. homg ff you really did want to draw that sometime I swear I would probably have like.. the frothiest most insane seizure ever over here <3 XD God, I'd just love to see how he'd react to such a thing. <3 Poor John I torture him so bad. Ugh! Which reminds me, that whole open mouth thing!! I didn't even THINK about that D: D: Urrghhh that is a million levels of creepy! Wonder if John even notices.. or cares? D: I swear John what the hell is wrong with you?? I really need work on making less disturbing characters. Seriously, I'm constantly amazed that anyone here likes John. I've made him so deeply unhealthy & unholy D: I'm totally curious now to know what CD's you've connected to him. God, you have no idea what an amazing compliment that is to me BTW. Just holy crap.. that you would be able to link music to anything of mine just wow that thrills me to no end <3<3 I love linking music to characters but it can be really hard so just knowing that you even can is just.. making my little heart swell all super grinch sized X) The happiness of ten men plus two Seriously, thank you so incredibly much. You have no idea how much that made my whole week to read <3 I'd love to know what songs you find fitting & in turn I can tell you which ones remind me of Agnes ;D I totally love Agnes' version of stress relief, BTW. God I just love her so much. <3 I can totally see her all like argh.. stupid stupid girl emotions I hate you all & am replacing you with RAAAAGE! Then she y'know.. goes off & slays the hell out of some poor bloodthirsty vampires Haha, I will so have to draw that sometime. I do really feel for her though. To be stuck in such a romantic dead end. No wonder Igor drives her crazy D: But then who doesn't Igor drive crazy? (nobody needs to answer that XD) Those looks & that wonderful deep voice of his. He'd have such laryngitis if we were there. He'd just never be allowed to stop shut up. And yes I know what you mean about the arm thing them losing their clothes a little bit at a time. I'm seriously going to have to stop that before I start getting death threats beaten here XD I won't be too indecent everyone, I swear! I'm so glad you caught the little Jesus Christ thing with John, BTW. I was so hoping folks would. I have so much fun riddling him with hypocrisy. It's so easy & John is such a great vehicle for it. He's totally the type of person that's completely incapable of putting himself in another persons shoes. But then heaven forbid someone wrong him in a similar manner. He's never able to see anything until it happens directly to him and even then he's a slow learner D: I actually have a couple ideas that relate to this that I need to finish up & post. One is pretty fun & basically boils down to him smacking his lackey with a bible. ;D But that will have to be for another time. Until then here's what what I do have <3 Believe me though, I wish it were more. Like I said, this week's just been a bad one for getting anything done. I do hope these will make the wait worthwhile though. As always, I'm constantly happy to do them <3 <3 Ninja-ed i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv29/raineart/Artssault.jpgI love you two so much <3 Juno better watch her back XD By The Power of Alcohol! i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv29/raineart/BeholdItsMagicWonder.jpgI loved so much how you based Veneficus off of a real life incident so I decided I had to do the same. Ven seems to be such a perfect springboard for it XD Anyway, this totally happened to me one night with a friend of mine. She & I love darts even though honestly I'm no good at them..especially when compounded by alcohol XD Anyway, the two way off on the wall there were my first two shots & then by some divine zeus-like miracle there was that third. Ven is a complete reflection of my total WTFness at the time. Persistance Of Memory i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv29/raineart/PersistanceOfMemory.jpgSo emo I know. I really am ashamed sorry D: Anyway, just an angst-ish pic of Raine losing herself in some bittersweet memories. I'm not sure if it reads terribly well but she's supposed to be smiling. Anyway, to explain the sadness, this was done when listening to 'I am the Highway' by Audioslave. A beautiful song IMO but oh so incredibly emo XD I'm not sure what she's thinking about but I imagine it's probably all the happier memories between her & Veneficus before his unfortunate death. Which brings me to another flaw of hers actually. Raine, while as resentful & bristly as she is towards the townsfolk (she pretty much hates them really D:) if someone has done something significant for her in any way she feels obligated to the point of absolute stupidity to repay it. Not because she's honorable or cares too much but because she's managed to become crazy superstitious over it. Raine leans toward being a hefty believer in karma. She's a bit selective about it though.. it's a little hard to explain I guess. Karma won't keep her from chasing any towns person at her door out with a broom or turning them away even when they beg her for favors (which enrages her), but the fear of it will keep her from not repaying a large debt. She feels no matter what she absolutely has to repay a debt that's owed. Last time she didn't she was sorely lashed out on by the person & as a result (in her mind) Veneficus was killed from it. Veneficus died as a result of trying to rescue a town persons child on the ice while intoxicated. Ever since then Raine struggles with the thoughts that the heavens may have taken him away to make up for what she owed. She tries to tell herself this isn't true because logically she knows how this makes no sense but regardless she's never been able completely shake the feeling. Her brain understands it but her heart just kind of keeps her from accepting it. She tends to feel like it was maybe her punishment and even in some ways like John is even a continuation of this punishment. Vens death is also what partly fuels her contempt for the townspeople. She always remembers how he gave his life for one of them despite them accusing him of witchcraft. (He was an alchemist & her teacher) and in turn it enrages her knowing the way they act towards her with all their fanatic hatred. She resents them so bitterly for it .. it's a terrible hatred she has in her heart but she can never really do much about it other then drive them off.. which of course only ends up worsening her reputation. Still, despite all the resentment & regret, she has moments where she's truly happy thinking about him... even if it does end up making her miss him. Anyway, I'm sorry I hope I didn't just over angstify her to the 100th power or anything D: If this is way over the top please someone tell me. You'll be doing me a huge favor. o.x Like A Stone i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv29/raineart/LikeAStone.jpgAnother Audioslave inspired song. All complaints can be directed to the co-worker who let me borrow this CD XD Anyway, I don't care for a lot of this groups music. To be honest most of it is incomprehensible screaming which I just hate o.x But the few slow songs they've done are really.. just beautiful to me. I really wish they'd do more slow stuff. The guys voice is so gorgeous but he completely wastes it bellowing like King Kong half the time D: But that's just my opinion of course XD ahem.. anyway, this is another one of my favorite weepfest songs which I thought might be kind of fitting for John. The lyrics just really reminded me of him for some reason. The song isn't about a stalker of course but the lyrics were open/cryptic enough that I guess I could see it being interpreted to fit him too. I could really appreciate the 'In your house' part anyway since Johns not only always ending up in Raine's house but also because deeply inside he longs to be God's house through his work. Judging by the look of things though, God obviously doesn't approve He's supposed to just leaving the church, BTW. A storm just hit so he's basically just taking shelter in the churchyard until it's over. Anyway, I promise I'm not trying to be all uber deep with any of this. XD It was just a very visually inspiring song :3 Links for anyone interested; www.lyrics007.com/Audioslave%20Lyrics/Like%20A%20Stone%20Lyrics.htmlwww.metrolyrics.com/i-am-the-highway-lyrics-audioslave.html

Raine!!! Girl how you did this, I'm in love with your ideas! I wanted to post a certain picture her of Raine, oh shame is not done! Ah, where to start? Oh I love your stories! First picture was so funny! XD Poor Juno, beware the mighty ninja! I like the title of the picture, clever and so true! ;D And Veneficus is so Arghh, I'm speechless! This leads me to Persistence of the memory... My God, I'm so moved, I remember the first ideas you send to me on Fire and Raine, and I loved Veneficus at first sight, my poor Ven Please Raine you have to tell us what is going to happen next! ... Like Stone is very emotive too and very beautiful, but my heart is definitely with Ven, he is/was such a great character! I'm going to miss him I completely understand Raine why she is so nostalgic about Ven ... Love the lyrics too, my mood is set now! Thank you very much Raine for sharing your inspiring ideas, your awesome characters and your life with us, we love you! ;D

Oh my god. I just have to go ahead and put this out there right off, I was so shocked and heartbroken when you mentioned than Ven had died. I... just wow. I never saw it coming D8 I know for all my lack of drawing Ven, it probably never seemed this way, but I am truly very fond of him (Indeed, I have music linked to him and everything) Oh dear, and especially the way he died. Don't ever think you've made Raine emo or whatever. Something about your characters just like... flips this crazy emotional switch in me, and I just feel so damn close to them. I swear, your writing about Raine's rage towards the villagers, and her own mixed feelings turned in towards herself, and blaming Ven's death on her own 'karma' I won't lie, I seriously teared up D: It's like every emotion just leapt off the screen and I could feel all of it so poignantly. The pain, the sadness, and even the happy memories, and just everything, it hit me so hard. God, I love your characters so much. They've reached me, seriously like no others ever have. There's just like, this ludicrous amount of emotion and humanity in them. They're like people I could know, have known. People that I could be myself. I had even had this nagging feeling in the back of my head than Raine had some sort of... anger. I had chalked it up mostly to being burned all the time (I'd be pissed too!) but this is... it just blows my mind. Lord, Ven's death just like, shook my day all up xD I'm so glad that you posted a couple happy fun stuff, cause like... I'd have had the most downer day ever xDDD (I gotta say, your drunken dart playing Ven did seriously keep me chuckling at random intervals during the day, hehe) But yeah. Like, one of the first things that crossed my mind was that it's just so tragic the way he died. It reminded me of both my parents really. My father actually had a similar incident when he was a child - a friend of his drowned, trapped beneath the ice of a nearby pond, and my father was unable to save him. But most strongly it reminded me of my mother when she was a little girl. Her father died when she was 12, just before Christmas. She told me that at his funeral the only thing she could think of was that she never wanted to die in the winter - she didn't want to be buried and spend eternity in the cold cold ground. (by the way, I am so planning a picture based on that particular bit from my mother. Hopefully I can do it the way I want to, and give Ven at least some modicum of justice) But yeah, like, it just hit so hard D8 I keep saying that, but it's the only way I can think of to convey that. It's so doubly sad as well that his death wouldn't be remembered of honored by those damn village yokels. A drunken witch was all he would have been to them and God, I swear that seriously really bothers me. It made me think about John as well. If it weren't for stupid ignorant masses maybe these people could have had something of a happy effing life D8< (I'm sorry. I'm in a very ah... passionate mood apparently today. Your post just really got me riled up all day, since I read it just when I woke up and I've been on it every spare second since) There is really just so much injustice for all of them. John's may be brought on by himself, but pain is still pain, and I am sure he feels it just as strongly as anyone else. Raine and Ven's, theirs is obvious. I love you so much for bringing these guys to life D8 Ahem, gravitating away from death and despair now xD Good lord I have so much art planned for all of this. I wanted to get some done today (On the more serious side) But apparently that just wasn't gonna happen. Damn. Still tomorrow! It's my day off I hope I can make use of it xD Now for artistic lovings 8D Ninja Raine xD We love you so! I'll take a sneaky art-stab-in-the-back ANY day xDDD Poor Juno nothing, it's Raine that's gotta be careful NOW xD Art battery will begin soon 83 Okay yeah, so like, as I mentioned earlier, I so totally was laughing at this all day xDDD Ven's expression just slays me. I'm glad to see that you're as good at darts as I am when sober 8D homg, I don't think anyone could suck more epically at darts than I do xDD I like... throw too hard? lol I've actually hurt my shoulder playing with my friend Alex. He just like, swiftly sticks them all in one after the other and mine are flying haphazardly every which way. Hell, and I've never even played drunk xD My motor skills are so fantastically bad when I've had a few, I doubt I could even hit the damn wall the board would be on 8D lol and I sound like you, ha. When I'm in the bar I love just sitting and watching the people play pool or just lazily stare at the neon signs. Silly grin plastered over my plastered face x) However, I can also tend to be a wandering sort of drunk. So many times I've just ambled down the street. A friend and I had been drinking one night and playing dice (Manly pastime, that one, lol) and my nephew suddenly came out and picked up our dice and just threw them out into the front yard and the street D8< Little jerk! (Same one that kicked me in the face. Lovable little brat, that one) So Jamie got the lantern and we set out to look for them. Of course like... I just ended up wandering away and Jamie and my nephew finally came and fetched me like, two streets over xDD Aaaaanyways xD Persistence of Memory <3 Good lord this moved me. SHUSH you, don't even think about saying that she's angsty. Although really, with a life like that who could blame her? But that's not the point. This came across so well, and indeed, I obviously spent the majority of the beginning of this going on about it xD I gotta say though, this has been a turning point for me and the villagers. I didn't like that they burned and ostracized her, but holy hell, it's ON now. Oh, they're gonna suffer D8< They done called down the wrath of Juno now, dammit! Always saving the best for last, eh? 83 Man, this one... I love all of it. The background especially, it what really makes this for me though. The angel, with her head in her arms, it just speaks volumes for John. You couldn't have done this any more subtley or beautifully. It's a terrible thing to be ostracized - but to be ostracized from one's self is just unimaginable. Poor John. I don't care how bad, how awful, how gruesomely terrible and monstrous he is - he will always have a special place in my heart. Seriously, I just want to hug him, he needs one so bad D8 I perfectly agree with you about he and Raine as well. Much as a pretty little fantasy it is, it's one of those things where it's never meant to be. And that's what really just makes it so much more epic and tragically beautiful. There can't be forgiveness, there's too much bad blood. I wouldn't dare expect it from either of them, and I think it's admirable of you to want them to be happy, but to know that to stay faithful to themselves, it just can't be that way. I've always had the sappy mentality of viewing characters like children - it hurts to sit idly by and watch them torture themselves, but that's just how it is. I won't lie though, part of me really is just that sadistic xDThe mental link is at work again 8D I was amazed to see that you had chosen Audioslaves Like a Stone. I have always LOVED that song (And indeed, I share your sentiments as to the rest of their music crap. His voice is so good and so effing wasted D8< Damn you screamy rawr type music. You and your indistinct noise making awful-ness. Even back in my gothiest of gothy mcubergothygoth days I never liked it (Or, ahah, pretended to either, hehehe) It prompted me to listen to some Audioslave again, and I think it goes perfectly. Oh John, you poor tortured soul. I hope God has some mercy for the lost man that you are. Speaking of music - I will be more than happy to share my listenings xD Forewarning though - a lot of my music will likely have like... zero anything to do with anything. I'm one of those people who like, barely pays attention to lyrics, and prefer to follow the sound of the music itself. I pay attention to some, like say if I think it'll be really fitting, but for the most part it's how the song relates in my brain to whatever I'm reading/watching/seeing/doing. And it is DAMN hard to link music to stuff. I have to be doubly careful. Music for me almost always get's linked to stuff when it's new - Like all the music I have linked to John I just discovered very recently, and it came right at the right time. Most of it is Nightwish (Their new stuff, with Annette) and most particularly Xandria (Yeah.. I listen to dark music, hehe. I have a huge variety, I swear, lol. A lot of this is throwback to Duckula (Original Nightwish is totally my Duckula music) and since I was already on a swing with symphonic metal, the rest just kinda followed suit. Xandria is probably my most definitive John/Raine stuff. It's suitably beautiful and dark, I believe. Even a few songs now have inspired a few things I plan on drawing soon, if I can be able to do so. I wanna know your Agnes music xD omg, I read that and just like spazzed <3 <3 That means so much that you have music for her!! I definitely know what a special thing that is <3 (lol, a funny bit about my linking music to stuff, there's been a few sad times when I've been listening to new music whilst cleaning in my parents commercial cleaning business, and thusly... I now have a select group of songs that recall to mind going through offices dumping trash D8< Greeeaaaat...) And yes, even more so I'm so pleased you like Agnes <3 Your family sounds awesome xD Almost all of my relatives are dead, and have been for a long time, it's always so cool for me to hear about people's interesting families. (Albeit, it's better I don't know mine. Like say, your great grandmother sounds full of crazy awesome xD My grandmother was just full of crazy. Crazy like in the sick twisted way that when I was a little kid she used to stick lit cigarettes against my face to burn me D8 She went into the asylum shortly after, and we never saw her again. The last we ever heard of her was five years after her death - she had moved to Jacksonville FL and renounced that she had any children or grandchildren. We still have no idea where she's buried) Ahem, aaanyways D8 If no one's figured out by now, I have an... interesting family. Alright! Back onto the fun times xDD ART PING PONG HEAD BUTTING BATTLE YOU SAY? alu87.deviantart.com/art/ART-BARRAGE-120389809You might sneak up like a ninja in the night, but let's see you withstand CRAZY ART BARRAGE OF DOOOOM 8DDD As Baphmet said to me, I'll ah... papercut you xD alu87.deviantart.com/art/Not-for-YOU-120392866Inspired from what you were saying about Raine and the village folks. The insert strong expletives here are getting what they deserve in my opinion. I love so much what you said about Raine selectively following Karma - I think most people are the same way. I know I am, and it never really struck me til you mentioned that. I am a strong believer in Karma myself, and yet at the same time I can be the same way. Like vengeance. Karma should deal with it, whoever has wronged me will get their own eventualy, be it in this life or the next, but... There have been many times in my life where I have seen more fit to deliver their payment with my own hands. D8 Bad me, I know. And I'll probably keep doing that. alu87.deviantart.com/art/Juno-on-the-lamb-120396524Laziness much? xD There's reason for this. I decided rather than shamelessly inserting myself everywhere, I might as well take the fun road and just make a character. So yeah, you already know her, meet Juno xD The only difference is that she gets a story now. I was thinking about the Duckula universe, and how Vampires interact in it. Then I thought alternatively about different types of vampires, and how they aren't depicted at all in the series. So I said F YOU LITMUS TEST What the hey! Juno is a psychic vampire 8D An empathic one at that. Meaning that rather than drain the liquid lifeforce from people, she can feel their emotions, and drains those instead. Most of which is done very unintentionally. She can't hold down a job long, since most people start noticing that after a few weeks their new maid is looking better and healthier than ever and they feel like emotionally drained sagging bags of flesh. There's not much physical effect, but one tends to notice excessive feelings of being empty (aka drained, lol) Shes usually kind of on the run from irate former employers who want to know what the hell she's done to them. Silly people, the effects wear off after a time D8 Poor Juno, she's probably been accused of being a witch too. Oh wait - she is xD hurr The empathy, of course, is the ability to read and feel people's emotions. Juno has been this way for a very long time, doesn't exactly know how she got this way, and doesn't do much to actually train herself to take control of any of this. She can do simple things like drain from people intentionally (no physical contact needed, just some mild focus and some close priximity will do the trick) and create loose barriers that close out emotional connections to people. That's apparently a harder one to tackle, since emotions are fluid. It can be crazy for her sometimes - One moment she can be all happy and content, and say someone walks into the room who's moody and resentful her mood can flip and she feels suicidal all of a sudden. She's trying desperately to get better at the emotional shield xD To those she's attached to, she's develops a bond with them, and can usually sense their emotions, if not very strongly, even from some distance away. The stronger the relationship, she stronger the bond. Poor Juno tries to make a point to not unintentionally leach from her few close ones. And yes, Sue-ish as it may seem, she's still a witch 8D But mostly in the spiritual sense. She can perform some very basic magics, and cast circles and whatnot, but the majority of her special-ness is in being a psychic vampire. She doesn't like it very much some of the time - it hinders her from keeping steady work, and she's been ostracized because of it. Luckily most people never find out. She's quite secretive about it. Lucky even more for her, she did manage to find a steady job - At Castle Duckula (Yes, it ties in to Duckula somewhere in there xD) The residents at the castle seem funnily immune to it, and she can't read them nearly as well as she can normal people. Interesting that 8D We can presume from there that she meets Raine during this time. YAY giant wall o' text 8D Sorry that was so huge, and doubly sorry if it sounds really lame xD alu87.deviantart.com/art/Missing-Those-Days-120385928Aaah, and my favorite of the night for last. Based on the Memory picture you did. I thought maybe Raine would recall things like this happening - someone has to make sure her drunken teacher doesn't freeze to death slumped over a table in the night xD I hope she doesn't look too creepy, I had to battle her face the entire way through this -_o Poor Ven. I love you so much too <3(John and Igor better watch out, a new contestant has entered the arena xDDD) Sorry that this was like... a kajillion miles long D8

Raine: Juno and I were inspired by your stories and character to no end, so we came out with fan characters for them! ;D This time I will post 2 pictures I made with prismacolors all for you! I'm sorry for the not so good quality, damn you scanner! Juno in 1600's maid dress, she has Igor's jacket too! i158.photobucket.com/albums/t104/vg1984/Juno1600smaid.jpgNote: re-colouring Juno in MS Paint, she would look great! John Cawthorne’s unwitting lackey, Louise Le Vau: i158.photobucket.com/albums/t104/vg1984/Lourdes1600shunter.jpgHa ha ha! Murky Dismal (from Rainbow Brite) should be proud of mine colour choices for Juno and Louise! Stay tuned, next time I will have Raine's Portrait and characters quick facts! ;D I hope you Raine and Juno like this, I want to say thank you to you both, I absolutely LOVE everything you are doing! Thank you very much! *hugs Raine and Juno*

Aaaaw, THANK YOU! Thank you so much! Not Alone is so beautiful, brought tears to my eyes and the verse, amazing artwork! ... Makes me happy, believe me Raine is going to LOVE this as much as I do! I don't think Master (Master? LOL!) John is going to quit, never! ;D BTW, do you like Juno's colours? Or do you think others would suit her better? Thanks.

Aww, thank you so much Lourdes, indeed I hope Raine likes it too <3 I'm not usually overly proud of what I do, but I must say I rather liked how it turned out 8) And no - John never quits xD Mr Relentless, haha. May none of us ever forget, lol. Yes, I LOVE Juno's colors - I think you're adopting the mind link Juno's colors are modeled after what I myself wear - copious amounts of black, brown and grey. I swear I have like... the most boring wardrobe ever xD So yes, I adore the greys, it's very much Juno (and me, hehe) and for Raine, hooray, tardery on my part yet again. How is it I always forget these things? xD Thank you SO SO SO SOSOSOSOSOSOSO much for what you said about that Ven I did (drunken explanation, lol) homg, I can't even begin... argh, it just made my... my LIFE, dammit, to hear you say that it looked professional xD You seriously have like no idea how much I worship admire you, and to hear that from you... !! I've like, never been happier about my art x) It feels like Christmas! <3 And thank you about the job thing xD Though, if you'll believe my incredibly bad luck, my job is actually in a slight state of peril right now DDD8<< Even if I (and I hopefully will) get to keep the damned thing, I'm gonna keep my job hunting. I think some of the higher ups in the place are kinda gunning for me D8 Greeeaaaat. But seriously, yeah, apparently Subway makes you take a test on your knowledge of 'Sandwich Art' and things like shelf life and, oh I dunno, A BUNCH OF CRAP THEY HAVEN'T TAUGHT ME YET DDD8< So I took that little effing test today, and of course failed it with spectacularly flying colors. They gave me a sheet with the stuff they hadn't bothered to teach me yet, and now I get to wait anxiously for the next test - because if I fail it I get fired *cryyyyyyyyyyyyaaaaaaaarrrrrggghhh!!!!!!!!* So yes. I will studiously burn holes into the paper with my eyes until every little last piece of how to make a flipping Italian BMT is scorched into my retinas. Yaaaaaay life D8 As usual, thank you and Lourdes just.... just more than the two of you can imagine. My life is yet again thrown intoa state of turmoil, but... I'm optimistic. I have such wonderful things to look forward to, and hey, if I could manage to get a job once, I know I can do it again (Hence why on my next day off I'm back to the streets with application information in hand shoot me pleeeeeaaaase) Ahem, yes, sorry for whining Hooray world!

CONTINUOUS ART BARRAGE!! xDDD alu87.deviantart.com/art/Under-the-Moon-120836812Drawn like... right after I did the picture of Raine and Ven. I guess I was in a very 'cryyyy, sad Raine DD8' kinda mood? Hell if I know. I need to draw her being more... like... badass xD alu87.deviantart.com/art/Doing-What-He-Does-Best-120837444Pointless John crap stuff. I never get bored drawing him xD I swear, it must be unhealthy for me. At least I drew him in his own clothes this time I love that coat of his, I don't seem to draw him with it too often though. Let it also be said that I really like how his hands turned out in this, particularly the one holding the feather. That sounds terrible of me, I know, but.. I'm usually just not overly pleased with my stuff xD Raine's feather just gets bigger and fluffier every time I draw it And now time for a Juno work update! Recall that I said I thought they were gunning for me? 8DDD I had to call to see what my hours were tomorrow (Their schedule is updated on Tuesday, and I was off today) and HOLY COW I don't work again until Friday, and after that on Monday. TWO freakin days this week. TWO. And neither day is over four hours. Oh well. This just gives me more time to go and find a freakin better job. God I can't wait to up and quit on those bastards in the middle of lunch rush at some opportune time. It will be the highlight of my effing life. Also this has heavily inspired in me a deep urge to go to college. I've been sorta 'meh' about wanting to go, but a career in art isn't gonna magically appear for me, and I don't think I can stick out this crappy minimum wage nonsense for the rest of my days. So here's to hoping I can go and... like... make something decent of myself D8 (I am absolutely terrified of art school. I used to want to go really badly, then I went through a period where I LOATHED the idea with every fiber of my being *I wanted to draw what I wanted to, and to hell with anyone who would tell me to do otherwise. I used to be so stubbornly obstinate* but now the bug has infected me again and I have the strongest desire to go, and this time it's more serious. Hooray me, I always seem to make everything difficult for myself. But yeah, terrified of it, since I always freak out over being good enough. BAAAH....)
