Description Self portraitish
I'm not really that pretty (edit: irl) ohlol
was another piece in my AP portfolio (done in oil on canvas)
man I wish I did more with that bottom right corner...

Edit: OH WOW. I didn't expect so much publicity on this at all * A *
After the first 200 favs I decided to touch it up because I was like
"okay this is kind of embarassing that it doesn't look completely finished"
SO UH. HERE'S THE EDITED VERSION LOL
sorry if you got this in your messages twice

Edit: YOU GUYS. FFFFFFF

I forgot what I called it exactly, but I mostly focused on portraits and skeletons. and played with the idea of "flesh" a lot.
it was helpful that my highschool had a bunch of real skeletons I could draw from.

I wish you good luck with your exams!

Oh my gosh it's you!

I saw this post so long ago and it's always been an inspiration on me. I absolutely love it!

Now I meet the artist at Natsucon without a clue in my head that she was the one who made this piece. XD
(I was the gal who was with the Lapras cosplayer)

It was lovely meeting you and I hope you made lots of sales at Natsu! You have a real talent!

Best wishes~ 8D

Ahhhhhhhh 8 m 8
omg I loved your Lapras
and that's so cool that you've seen me before online!

Did you have a table too? I didn't get to walk around much to see everyone.
(Or, do you ever plan to get one? I think you'd do pretty good!)

Yeah! ~RawrsuitGirl made that costume all by herself using just fleece and foam! ^.^

I remember seeing you on the Daily Deviations, congrats on being hardcore! 8D

No ma'am! We were just being con goers that weekend, but we did have a table earlier this year at KawaKon. We're considering buying a table there again next year or at Anime STL. :3

I'm so happy you think so! I certainly need more ideas and materials/equipment to sell more merchandise. People thought my small prints were stickers, I didn't know people liked stickers that much. o.o

I'll have to invest in making keychains and such. XD

I can't wait to see you again! I'll check your journals for upcoming events~ <:3c

Very deep and...I don't know how to put it to words. It reminds me of terror and horrified fascination, yet of a child's innocence...I dunno why. Love it, though, i's absolutely brilliant.

Wow, this is as beautiful as it is intense! I really like the facial expression--it's very honest and raw. Your technique with the oils is really impressive too! Although I do think I like the colors in the original version better; there seems to be a stronger contrast. Even still, it's gorgeous and the DD was well deserved. Congrats!

On a side note, I was watching my favorite show last night (Deadwood) and this reminds me of something very sad and upsetting from one episode in season 2 which I won't go into detail about. o_O
