Description MY SCANNER IS FINALLY WORKING AGAIN!!! I've been wanting to share this pic for quite some time, and I couldn't wait for it to be colored (cuz that might be a while). I drew this working in a potato cellar. Yup. And considering the only light I had was a mini-booklight, I think it turned out pretty well! I luuuuurrrrv her expression!

This is my character Tulie from my comic-slowly-in-progress "Astilbe", which you will be seeing more of in the future. (Don't worry, publishing Realms and Remedies is still top priority!) I've posted Tulie here quite a bit, actually, but her wings are different every time. Someday I'll have to make up my mind about what I want her wings to look like!

D'aww, she's cute. And she has freckles! Ya know now that I think of it I don't see too many Original characters that have freckles. Very nice work

Freckles are wonderful things. More characters need freckles.

What is scary about potato cellars?

They're dark and damp and full of ENORMOUS Idaho potatoes, as big as a house! You could live quite comfortably in one of those!

I...don't think I smell. And if I do, well, I was bundled up in so many layers at the time I don't think a bloodhound could've smelled me!

She looks like she needs to get herself a boyfriend. aha. ahahaha. Seriously, though, I am amused.

I am also wondering how she gets that flower to stay on her toe.

GingerOpal In reply to haius [2011-02-04 20:49:40 +0000 UTC]

Her "boyfriend" is still being designed. Heck, he doesn't even have a name yet! TULIE'S SO AWESOME SHE DOESN'T NEED A MAN ANYWAY! From my experience, boyfriends really aren't all that great. :\

I'm gonna force you to use your imagination on that toe/flower thing.

haius In reply to GingerOpal [2011-02-04 21:18:26 +0000 UTC]

Well, real-life boyfriends, anyhow. XD FICTIONAL ONES ARE GREAT. You can make them do whatever you want! IT'S PRETTY COOL.

My imagination says: glue.

GingerOpal In reply to haius [2011-02-04 21:25:10 +0000 UTC]

Well, they certainly seem to work for my characters...sometimes. Heck, even as works of fiction boyfriends can be irritating! *COUGH-FESCU-COUGH!*

Your imagination has no imagination.

haius In reply to GingerOpal [2011-02-04 21:41:49 +0000 UTC]

Your FACE has no imagination.

Yeah, well, somehow I just can't see you and Fescu as an item. You should have LARS be your fictional boyfriend. Or, like, Goldfinch. I mean, at least Goldfinch will eat your obnoxious coworkers for you.

...Come to think of it, can I borrow Goldfinch for a moment? XD

GingerOpal In reply to haius [2011-02-04 22:26:59 +0000 UTC]

Me and Fescu? EW NO! I thought you meant pairing fictional boyfriends up with other fictional characters, not with myself!

Lars is no fun. And Goldfinch, hmmm, I still haven't drawn him as a human yet, so I don't know. But if I could I would TOTALLY let you borrow him.

I have absolutely no idea which fictional character I would pair myself up with. I CANNOT IMAGINE MYSELF WITH ANYONE NOT IN FICTION OR REAL LIFE WAAAAHHHH!!!

I do know, however, who you'd pair yourself up with.

haius In reply to GingerOpal [2011-02-04 22:35:07 +0000 UTC]

Unfortunately, he hates me for, ya know, ruining his life, so it'll never work out between us. XDX

THERE THERE. You are like Tulie: you are too COOL to need a guy. Guys can just come and, like, throw themselves at your feet waiting for you to acknowledge their very existence, and you can laugh at them.

Just think, though. If you got Lars to fall in love with you, dude, he'd totally do ANYTHING you asked. ANYTHING. And all you'd have to do would be let him kiss your hand every once in a while. It'd be a pretty sweet deal if you ask me.

GingerOpal In reply to haius [2011-02-04 22:57:17 +0000 UTC]

Pfft! You're too smart for Erythor anyway.

Well, I DO enjoy laughing...

And you're right. Lars certainly doesn't ask for much! We probably could get along pretty sweetly!

haius In reply to GingerOpal [2011-02-04 23:04:37 +0000 UTC]

Blasphemy! I'll have you know he's actually a very intelligent boy! He's just, you know... overly trusting in human goodness. Aha. Ha ha ha.

...well, that and it's very hard to make a character appear smart without yourself being clever. This is an issue I have had for a very long time, and it doesn't help that nasty old Sandra told all her children everything that was wrong with them, all the time, whether is was true or not, so he certainly THINKS he's not particularly smart... SIIIIIIIIIGH. It's not his fault! I'm just not good at coming up with clever ideas that I can attribute to my characters! *bursts into tears*

So long as you have no qualms about making Lars your errand boy based on a slightly unethical lack of admitting to him that you're never going to be in love with him, he's, like, the perfect boyfriend. XD

Man, I'm so evil....

I hope you never get a boyfriend like Lars, so you can't take advantage of his goodness.

Don't think that you've escaped answering that question. Someday I will get you.
