It's all about the tree



Due to the sheer popularity of these two characters on Namesake (www.namesakecomic.com), I decided to make a print. It turned out great! (Sorry about the fugly cheshire watermark guys... Since it's a print, i'm obligated to mark it)

So, basically, you've got an image of Emma and Warrick under... something that is the Oz equivalent of a peach or a cheery tree. More purple. What I really adore about this image is that Emma has the sword and Warrick, a flower, and it looks very natural. Both characters end up switching gender roles a lot, which I love. Warrick is holding a poppy, the symbol of the princess of Oz, Ozma. Emma's sword is a rapier, a French sword, ideally used for thrusting attacks. The Cheshire cat is just... around. He likes to be around. He goes as he pleases. He's a cat after all!

In other news, this weekend was rough. Sometimes my body just decides it wants to eliminate me (and sees no flaw in it's own logic), so I spend a weekend feeling sick and in pain without really being sick at all. It's pretty annoying and exhausting when it happens. As a result, I found getting up this morning to be an annoyance.

But before getting up, I arranged the duvets in a big circle, making a nest, and kinda cuddled with my pillows in that. It was awesome.

Pillows and blanket forts or nests always improve a bad mood.

Sometimes I wonder if you have some sort of food allergy or something that causes your body to freak out in reaction. Sounds like a bummer of a weekend. Not sure if I'd trade it over not being able to sleep due to crying babies, either... I hope you're feeling better now at least!

I don't think so. It doesn't feel like a food allergy. It's like... chest and bone pain...

That's what I mean though. It doesn't have to be food that causes allergic reaction. It could be just about anything you encounter in your environment. (Check this out for some examples of allergens, and the reactions they cause.)

I hope you feel better! Have you ever figured out what causes you to feel so sick?
I haven't read this comic before but it looks like I'm going to have to go check it out, love the print :)

Hey, please do! Let me know how you like it! :D

According to several doctors, it's all my head. Or i'm just weak.

ugh stupid doctors - just because they don't know what's wrong doesn't mean they can just say there's nothing wrong!
sry i got some doctor anger issues.
I hope you get help with it soon!

*squeeeeeeeeeeeeee*

And I really wanna icon this baby so bad, but I cannot alas! Curses, thwarted again!!

Ohh, Warrick, you are totes adorable. I wanna pinch your lil green cheeks.

He's too much of a kid right now, I just want to smack him and send him to quiet time. Bad Warrick, bad. *laughing*

[identity profile] snapdragon76.livejournal.com 2011-05-31 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Ahhh, he'll probably grow out of it... eventually.

I admit I have an immature moment from time to time now and then.

No iconing! Buy the nice, shiny print! <3

I'm hoping to get the prints made up next week, though I might take preorders ...

I always love your line work. And the expression on the cat's face looks great!

[identity profile] secondlina.livejournal.com 2011-05-31 03:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks! It is the best cat. :D

Aw, I hope you feel better soon. D:

I love the way you did the tree roots and the bark texture, it's gorgeous. And, randomly, the way you drew Cheshire Cat's grin reminds me of the catbus in My Neighbor Totoro.

*gasp* you're on to me. No, I totally don't watch Miyazaki movies every month. What do you mean?? *hides DVD box*
