Mew Mew style, mew mew grace....

No. Just, no.

Actually, there is a reason for that title! If you haven't noticed from some of my other mew mew art, I've been wanting to try tokyo mew mew in different styles recently. Upcoming ideas I have include Disney style and steam punk!
So, here's a question for you readers:
Is there any particular style you want to see the mew mews drawn in? I am open to suggestion!

Love and Sparkles,
Kayla

Discussion Post! What is your view on Christmas Music?

Recently on campus, I've noticed a war being waged between those who think you can listen to Christmas music in November, and those who think you need to wait until after Thanksgiving. What is your view, readers?

Me, personally, I think it is never too early to start thinking about Christmas. I think half the fun of Christmas comes from the anticipation. I also really love the feeling you get when listening to Christmas music, so I have a couple of Christmas songs that live on my iPod year round, so I can have that special feeling at random moments throughout the year. But I can understand wanting to wait; some people feel it detracts from Thanksgiving, one of the more spiritual and commonly overlooked holidays. Maybe it's because turkeys aren't as cute as reindeer. I think that Christmas and Thanksgiving go hand in hand, so I feel that Christmas music can lend to the spirit of Thanksgiving too.

So, what's your position dear readers? Should you wait until after the last bit of cranberry sauce is gone? or do you take off your Halloween costume and turn up the Christmas tunes?

Love and Sparkles,
Kayla

Also, as a side note, What is your favorite thing to listen to for Christmas? For me, it's Josh Groban and Michael Buble. 

Donuts, donuts everywhere, and not a bite to eat

...Actually, I ate more of them than I probably should.

So, funny story of the week! I work at a catering facility, and we do a lot of inter campus deliveries to office parties and whatnot. The math department ordered fifty donuts exactly (why they didn't make things easier for us by ordering 6 dozen or 4 dozen is beyond me). However, somewhere along the line, there was a miscommunication. My theory is that, since people normally order donuts by the dozen (Which is what you should do, really. Who doesn't like a few extra donuts???), the person taking the order assumed that the math department was ordering by the dozen. So, we boxed and delivered.....Fifty dozen donuts. Needless to say, the math department was not happy. You think they would have noticed when we sent them a bill for 300+ dollars earlier. They are the math department, surely they could tell that 300+ dollars was a bit much for fifty donuts.
So, we gave them the donuts, but then bought back one third of them. Work then turned into a donut party. We ate them all in a week, using excuses like, "I just made a delivery! I deserve a donut!" or "I just finished my shift! I deserve a donut!!!" And that is how Kayla got to have free donuts everyday last week!! Hooray!!

The moral of the story is to always check your receipt. Otherwise, you may end up with fifty dozen donuts more than you were planning on.

And by the way, 50 dozen donuts equals 600 donuts. Just in case you were wondering.

Love and Sparkles! (And donuts!!!)

Tokyo Mew Mew ~Nya~

Well, it's that time again! The time when Kayla posts some of her art! (Which I know are your favorite posts, don't lie) I may seem to have been stagnant in my art as of late, but don't worry! I have simply been doing a lot of art homework, which looks really cool. However, I'm sure you don't want to see drawings of plants and cylinders, so I haven't posted anything (Plus, the art I've been doing in class is simply to large to scan. Once I get a camera, I may post pictures.)

So, I'm sure you're all wondering what it is that I have been working on (Don't look at the title, cheaters). I have been experimenting with a new style of art. I'm not giving up my anime, I just felt like I needed a more stylized-realistic style for when drawing realistic not anime people. They say that when you try out a new style, you should draw something you know really well, so, I drew..... Tokyo mew mew! (Shocked gasp!) Who would have guessed it?
Without further ado, here is Kayla's Art style 2.0!

(Click for full size)

So, as far as this style goes, I personally love it. It still needs some work, but I think that, with practice, I can go far! There are a lot of problems that need to be worked out, such as derpy eyes!--where one eye is looking a slightly different direction-- but that is simply a problem of practice.  (Note: Lettuce's eyes are a little weird, because she has glasses in my original sketch. I erased them, but it kind of changed the shape of her eyes a little.) I think Ichigo came out my favorite, because dang! Look at her skirt! I'm really proud of the satiny texture I got. I tried to get the same texture on everyone sans Zakuro, but it looks the best on Ichigo's skirt. For Zakuro, I tried for more of a vinyl/leather effect, but it turned out kind of the same as the others.... oh well! Live and learn! Oh, and Zakuro's hair came out the best! Sleek and shiny, I can do! Pudding's messy mop of hair.... Well, I tried! And Pudding is a lot more forgiving than Zakuro.... I love the fur texture I used too! It's a technique that I am definitely going to use again. It worked the best on Pudding's gloves though. Also, fun fact: Mint's face actually started out as a doodle of Ichigo. The face looked a little too snobby, so I changed it to Mint. And, in Mint, please pay close attention to her tail feathers, because they are wicked awesome!

Feedback! Tell me, what do you think? Who do you think turned out the best? I want to know! Unless you think this is the most awful thing since moldy bread, in the which case, I don't want to know. Let me live in my delusion that this is a wonderful piece of art.

Love and Sparkles!

P.S Just in case the above was a little confusing, I am not giving up my anime style!!!!! Let that be known. I am merely trying new things. Someone can have two styles, yes? At least Loki thinks so. He can use good style and bad style, and still be amazing! Right? good.

Because Loki can be used to justify everything.

Please leave me alo- WAIT I'M JUST KIDDING DON'T LEAVE ME LOKI!!!!

Explanation to the title:
Ever since watching Thor 2 last saturday (If you haven't seen it yet, go see it now or I will kill you! not really.... but still, go see it.) I can't get Loki out of my mind. It's both wonderful and infuriating. Thor 2 made me love Loki even more (IF that is even possible) and I just keep thinking about [that one part in the movie] and [that other part that everyone loved] as well as how I [verbed] at [that one scene you know the one I am talking about] and then {ooo! This scene deserves fancy brackets!}. I needed a fix of Loki, and Thor 2 did not disappoint. The only problem (As if Loki could ever be a problem) is that I still haven't come down from my Loki high. I close my eyes and all I see is his dazzling smile, and how much I wanted to give him a hug in  [that one scene again]. Tom Hiddleston took Loki's character to new levels.

Anywho, I will stop now before I start blathering on and on about Loki's hair, eyes, cheekbones, and dimples, though not necessarily in that order. So, before I go, here is your daily fix of Loki!

Enjoy!
Really, that man is just to darn adorable for his own good. How did he have trouble taking over the world again? Oh, I know. He needed an army of kittens instead of creepy aliens. The avengers wouldn't have been able to handle that much adorableness.

Love and (Loki) Sparkles!
