Tiny vampire things

[secondlina]

 

Not much to say about this sketch. Tiny vampire things. Just in the right mood for the upcoming Halloween!

Yesterday, I decided to take a bit of a day off. Went to walk around, shop, get comics, and then I went to a friend's birthday party. It was really great! It felt good to see everyone and to be out and about. Kinda crashed when I came home though. During the little shopping trip, I discovered a very interesting spot. It's a tea house/manga library with about 500 different titles. You buy tea, and you get to read for 2 hours. You can also buy the books if you want. So I bought a few, and read a bit and had some peach tea. I discovered while I was there that a few older series I liked (such as Naru Taru, known as Shadow Star in English) are being published again. Naru Taru for one, was published back in the day, but got canceled when the publisher realised it wasn't for kids (it's a deconstruction of the "pet monster" genre. and it's kinda violent). Not the series is being published with the respect it deserves. I also found out that the slayers novels will exist in French. Yay.

Today, I shall be getting a new drawing table! Woo! And some high chairs for it. 

Monday is a day off due to Canada's thanks giving. So I plan to draw a bunch. I'm really into drawing like crazy lately. Which is a good thing. I get to start chapter 2 of Namesake. You guys are still seeing the first being posted gradually, but i'm already up to drawing the second. 

I'm also finally finishing going thru the archives of Gunnerkrigg Court, a pretty amazing webcomic. It's like Harry Potter meets Buffy and Firefly. It's awesome that way.

Think i'm going to keep reading now actually.

So cute! Especially the one nomming on the bunny. XD

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Heheh. They gotta eat after all!

(KYAAAAAAAA! TINY VAMPIRES! <333)

:D

You know, I can totally see those chibi vampires as pins or stickers. They would be really cute. ^_~

That shop sounds like a neat find. Stu and I recently discovered a nice shop where you can get different kinds of coffee and tea. It's a nice little shop.

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Maybe I should try printing stickers.

You could add little sayings like "Too cute to bite" or "Creepy cute." XP

Where is this tea/manga house you speak of!?

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

On St-Denis. We can go next time! It's all in french though :(

[auriga]

Wow, those are ridiculously cute! I want to hug them~

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

But then they would bite!

[auriga]

I...I think I would anyway. X)

[brendala.livejournal.com]

Those chibi vampires would make fantastic pins, stickers, and buttons (I know I'd buy them!)

And if I'm ever in Canada, you HAVE to show me that tea house. It sounds like heaven! :)

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Dude, if you're ever in Canada, I will be your happy little tour guide!

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

I kinda wish that we had a manga library/tea room around here. I'd probably be there all the time!

And I've been enjoying the webcomic you guys have been posting so far! I look forward to more!!

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

MOAAAR!

It seems like a good place to hang out. I would go more often if I didn't already own/read half their stuff *laughs* I wish it was a bit closer too. But it's definitely a good "hang out" spot.

[chameleon9999.livejournal.com]

Awww, such cute little vamps! They would be good as stickers, or little figurines, or something!

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Maybe I should look into that.

[ichiban-victory.livejournal.com]

I see what you did there... Simple designs! *shakes fist* I'll get you for this!

But seriously, I see little vampire bunny, and all I can think is...Bunnicula! (Well, and a Raving Rabbid... It's like they had a love child, really...)

We actually have a holiday tomorrow as well. Thank you, Christopher Columbus, for discovering the Americas so future generations could steal the land from the natives, enslave other races for cheap labor, and destroy the land in general. ...oh well, what can you do?

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving! I'd bake you a pie if I could. ^_-

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

*chuckles at "bunnicula"*

Heh, holidays like this a little depressing, when you think of the implications. Then again, it's no worse then stuff they did in Europ. Still kinda sad.

[spankingfemme.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a chill afternoon :) Cute tiny vamps too! XD

New drawing table eh? What kind?

I have to catch up with Namesake! 0o

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

The HUGE kind. Seriously, it's enormous!

[angelchan-2004.livejournal.com]

Those are such cute little vampires~ I love the one biting the rabbit! xD

Aww, I'm kinda jealous. I think they stopped bringing out the Slayers novels here. ;A;

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Yeah, they stopped. Slayers wasn't a very nicely treated series. But I think now that companies are making more money and aren't always on the brink of extinction, they will manage their series better.

[angelchan-2004.livejournal.com]

See, that just makes me hope and pray for a reprint of Sailor Moon here some day. It's so hard to find that manga series anymore. :c

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

I'm lucky. I have all the Sailor Moons. and the Sailor V's! (Bet you didn't know Venus had her own series?). They get translasted and printed really nicely in french

[angelchan-2004.livejournal.com]

Aaah, I'm so jealous! I actually knew about Sailor V, but I've not been able to find it to read. D:

Actually, never mind! I JUST found a place online where I can read it. *-*

[jason-register.livejournal.com]

Interesting. =)
