Description This was a long time coming. I drew the sketch a month ago while in Miami, and just got around to put the finishing touches on it yesterday.

When the clouds broke I had to do a bit of hiding from the sun. At least it wasn't too hot, since it was January, but it was a lot warmer than around here. Wonderfully warmer. I'm really hating the cold.

In honor of being down there, I whipped up this picture of me and enjoying the warmer weather. That place was so much nicer! Lots of neon everywhere, awesome places to relax, really great food. And I even got to meet , which rocked!

I gotta get back to that place someday soon. And hopefully a certain fedora wearing roommate won't be snoring so loud I can't sleep.

I'm spamming peoples' galleries with long-overdue comments, if you couldn't tell.
I'm reminded of a female goth classmate from my high school U.S. Government class. She was gone for a while, and when I asked about her I learned she was vacationing with her family in Hawaii. Someone commented something like, "I just can't picture her lounging on the beach in a swimsuit." I guess she may have looked something like this. I'm diggin' your (and his) "fun in the sun" clothes.
More general comment: I like your cartoon humans. They seem like they stepped out of an 80's or early 90's cartoon, in a good way. I'm still attempting to develop my own cartoon human style and trying my darndest to avoid a cookie-cutter-anime style.

We goths aren't really known for doing great in the sun. You should see the way I reflect it like crazy in some photos... >_>

But saying that my drawings look like 80s and 90s cartoons is quite possibly the greatest compliment I've been given. That was exactly the look I've been trying to get. Anime is way too overdone for my taste, and I draw this style outta my great love for those old cartoons. n_n So, I thank you.

I never knew that goth girls actually went out in the sun, in short skirts and sandals yet! Great picture, and it deserves a great song:

Summer In The City-The Lovin' Spoonful

Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck gettin' dirt-'n'-gritty
Bend down, isn't it a pity
Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city
All around people lookin' half dead
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match-head

But at night it's a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come on, come on and dance all night
Just bide the heat, it'll be all right
And babe, don't you know it's a pity
The days can't be like the nights
In the summer in the city, in the summer in the city

Cool town, evening in the city
Dressed so fine and looking so pretty
Cool cat, looking for a kitty
Gonna look in every corner of the city
'Til I'm wheezing like a bus stop
Runnin' upstairs, gonna meet you on the roof top

But at night it's a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come on, come on and dance all night
Just bide the heat, it'll be all right
And babe, don't you know it's a pity
The days can't be like the nights
In the summer in the city, in the summer in the city...

Alright! Now that's a great song. n_n Been a while since I heard it, too. Sometimes we do have to go out into the sunlight, but we usually take ample protection against it.

My sympathies. The sun is an evil, evil thing. That's why the best (and most relaxing) time to hit the beach is at night. n_n

Never let it be said I'm incapable of joking about myself. The closest I'd ever been to Miami before that was Ft. Lauderdale, which I got to see again while I was there. It's a really cool place. If you've ever played Vice City, then you already know how the city feels. Even in the 21st century, there's a lot of 80s influence left over.

The only thing that woulda made it cooler woulda been the DeLorean we saw in Dallas last year.

I so rarely ever wear the things. Mostly because that requires showing off more skin than usual. >_>

I'm glad you had fun in the brief time you visited, I had fun seeing you guys as well X3

Though consider yourself lucky you got to enjoy the sun's rays for the time you were here, the sun's been frying me the past 16 years x_x;

NinjaSammi In reply to SorcererLance [2008-02-28 23:24:44 +0000 UTC]

See, that's why I'd be hesitant to actually move that far south. I'd spend so much of my time hiding from the sun. Oddly, I think I spend just as much time tending to my pale skin as my little sister spends trying to keep her tan. n_n;;

But if we're ever that way again, we should definitely find more time.
