So, for the past couple of days, me and Link gained Window Squirrels. To get to the balcony of our apartment, there's a door, surrounded by two windows. The windows a composed of an exterior panel you can open, a bug screen, and then an interior panel. Basically, there's space in between the two panels for something like a squirrel to reside. We left the outside panel of one of the windows open. And sure enough, the next day, Link and I notice a little squirrel sleeping there. The next day, a whole family of squirrels decided the window rocked and moved in. There was 5. 3 were sleeping, and two were climbing all over the bug screen. Of course, they were basically destroying the bug screen, so Link had to shoo them out. He stepped out to the balcony, and all the squirrels panicked and climbed to the top of the window on the screen. He basically slid the screen panel until they had to drop and run out. And the the outside panel was closed to prevent further squirreling.

But sleeping squirrels are the cutest thing ever, no joke. :D I could see the squirrels from really, really close. It was awesome.

Aside from that, I decided to work on some more fanart prints for future cons. Presenting, some idea for Avatar : The Last Airbender. I love most of the canon and fanon couples, so I decided to draw a "kataang" (Katara/Aang) and a "Zutara" (Zuko/Katara) set of pictures that would basically be companion pieces. You could get both, or just your favorite.

Both show the couples together, with lanterns, in a window. In both images, the elements of wind and fire are present. In Aang's case, I used good old sky lanterns and an Indian design for the window. In Zuko's case, we get classical Chinese paper lanterns, and a window inspired by China as well.

YES I'VE BEEN WATCHING TANGLED AND MULAN LATELY HOW COULD YOU TELL!?

Here are the sketches!





I kinda wanted both images to have the mood usually associated by fans to the couple. So one is super cuddly and happy, and the other on the angsty, soft side. Enjoy.

Squirrel!! :D :D :D We have a family of 3 fox squirrels that like to hang out in our backyard (despite the fact there's a slightly neurotic little dog in the yard with 'em...) and we often put out a tray of food and they're so used to people that they'll come up and take food from your hands. Up-close squirrels are the cutest thing, I totally agree. Miffed squirrels are hilarious, too. They get all barky and chirpy and their tails speak volumes! Hehehe.

And speaking of cute! Those sketches are absolutely awesome. :D Hee, I can totally see the Mulan & Tangled influences, and they're perfect! ;)

Can't say I blame squirrels for wanting to live the cultured life. But they really are adorable! Now that my dad finally sealed off the attic, I don't see them around as often as I used to.

It feels so weird finally understanding the Avatar art. I guess I'm still indifferent to the pairings either way, but the art is good. Mass sketches of sketchiness! I hope you're stocked up on blue pencils. ^_-

Squirrels are adorable. I was surrounded by them when I lived in Denver and I miss them sometimes.


Both of those pictures are fantastic. I bet they'll look great (and sell like hotcakes) once they're inked.

Awww, I don't care what people say, squirrels are cute! But, I wouldn't want them to live in my windows. Or my attic for that matter.

And I LOVE the fanart! I can't wait to see the finished products!!

Yeah squirrels are adorable ^_^ I've had a squirrel on the screen outside my window. I had woken up and pulled aside the curtains and there was this squirrel on the screen, I remember screaming and nearly fell off the bed. I had to hit the window to make the squirrel get off, that was one wake up call I did not want. :)

I love both pictures. I really want the lanterns like they had in Tangled.
