So then, after Otakon ended I got back to my house in Savannah just long enough to pack and move to Charleston, 2 hours away. |D; And after I packed and moved to Charleston, I didn't have internet for a week. And after THAT week, I started work at the downtown market AND had to go home for three days of internet-less visit. Then, upon my return to Charleston, there was MORE work, and... here I am, AGES later and barely having drawn much at all for all of the hectic goings-on in my life. SORRY, sketchblog, I didn't mean to neglect you! /;A;

Anyway... today's doodle features an OLD old old original character of mine, whose name is so stupidly reflective of how old she is that I'm not going to write the whole thing down where human eyes can see it ever again! XD; Let's refer to her as Kata, since THAT bit is not so embarrassing, and I'll say that she had an incredible childhood that involved her being put through something of a little kids' Battle Royale for the entertainment of the rich, then eventually culminated in her becoming an assassin. Because I loved the Shadow Skill OVA, Weiß Kreuz and all sorts of other fabulously bloody and poorly-animated things at that age, I think I was really into the concept of creating a character who was a killer. But, you know, I wanted the element of invincibility and self-confidence of the fighters in Shadow Skill to be mixed with the self-destructive downward spiral of the Weiß Kreuz characters, and for a measure of emo to be removed from the equation. XD;; ANYWAY, yeah, trip down memory laaaaane~

Kata has battle scars, by the way, but I totally didn't draw them because I doodled the things above at work between customers. And I realized as I drew her that she looks a bit like my other OC Rothko, except that SHE'S a brunette with red eyes and Rothko legitimately has black hair and eyes. Go figure!

I'm only going to show this and the other things that I've shown you for the anthology so-far, I promise, so that people will have just enough teasers to think to themselves 'hey, maybe I should buy this anthology full of everyone's lovingly rendered contributions' and not 'Gee, look at this loser Zeda, uploading every little thing she's making for that anthology book!' XD

Anyway, that's L tickling Mello, who has pilfered a cookie from him without permission. ♥ This picture is so small in the grand scheme of the page that it's on that I'm thinking I might colour it in and make it its own separate art piece for my site/DA, just because I'm a dorkerton. XD; Also, that errant line at L's knee has long since been edited-out, don't worry about it!

There is one more picture for this post, just a doodle that I sketched recently, but since there are boobies in it I'm putting it under a cut!

( BOOBIES! )

This is one of the illustrations that I'm working on for the Death Note International Fan Anthology! It's still, uh...;; Pretty silly looking and sort of lame, I think that I have a lot about it left to fix. In the story by Ciara, Near is compared to a white moth - encased in a cocoon of logic at all times, but moved to become something like a squirming larvae under Mello's influence. I wanted to include aspects of the moth, and of Mello being cast in black while Near is cast in white. XD; Awfully high intentions for a picture like this, ah? Oh well;; ♥
