Framing is a bitch.

Today, I spent most of the day trying to frame something, only to have a friend come in and frame it perfectly in less then five minutes. Gah. ^^;; Sometimes I feel like I can't do anything right...those days, my brain is usually scrambled...

Other then that, i'm getting a few things done: mainly homework and a few other things. I'm currently under the process of designing a book for photo class and I had to re-start all my pages because the resolution on the original was horrible and the printout was awful. I'm thinking this a bad week for homework, Isa's a little demented, you know what I mean y'all? XD

Oh! Here's for Earthstar! A portrait and a tiny image to make an icon from ^^

I also drew this for a friend that asked me to do a design of the main character of a book she's writting called "Table Turners" It's a pretty solid story. The girl is called Odette St-Remy and she's a "player" aka, someone who can wield destiny with a deck of magic tarot-like cards that work on luck. Odette's on a quest to get her destiny back, stolen by another "player" with the Help of her two friends Otomo "Omo" and Ariana "Ana" who are the physical manifestation of Odette's Guardian and Guide cards. The story makes me think of a super adult Card Captor, minus the pink stick. Odette makes me think of Sakura in a twisted way. I like the look I gave her...sorta a mix of a goth lolita with some mean locks of hair in dreads. I'm thinking of making the dreads orange because of someone I admire a lot, who has fake orange dreads in her hair in this wicked way...

Anyways, here's odette:

Tell me what you all think of her XD

Well, Table Turners is a lot more hard core then Sakura, Odette makes me think of her mainly because of the card wielding part of the story (for example, she has a wind and a sword card)but she actually has more character then Sakura. At some point, someone tells her about the old saying "Unlucky at the game (poker) makes you lucky in love!" Her reply is "If the contrary's true, i'm gonna be single forever"
For sakura,I'd rather read the manga, though I must admit, eventually the goody-goody of the series gets to you. (another reason why to prefer the books, they are a lot shorter!)At least the drawings are very nice (Clamp have a very fine style)
I know, my style is "cute" I make my characters very round so the "cute" dosen't come out...Sometimes I wish I could draw like Spawn or something...i'll have to post some of my less cute drawings one day XD
