Crane!

So, I've been thinking a little of overhauling and restarting Crane! I have a new story idea that is way more doable, plus more interesting, and I've given some characters some tweaking to make them better. The Unholies now have a more plausible creation story, and Crane is now 50% more adorable. Oh, and she has a mom now. Her mom may or may not be important....

I've been working on writing the script/redesigning characters thus far, so I just thought I'd give you a little taste of some of my favorite quotes thus far(in no particular order):

Crisis: She's nothing. No one. Nobody important. And if she were, it would be none of your business.
**********************************************************************************
Crane: Hate is like cutting off your own hand and expecting it to hurt the other person; it does them no harm and you no good.
**********************************************************************************
Pilot: I can't believe he still doesn't trust me!
Panic: Well, to be honest, I don't think I'd trust you with my kids either.
Pilot:....What if they were my kids too?
Panic: I'm not sure I like what you're implying there.
**********************************************************************************

Mannequin: Look, darling, the people adore us!

Pythagoras: It’s because you’re so adorable, my dear. (waving)

Mannequin: (waving as well at a cheering crowd as they enter a castle-like building) Aren’t they wonderful? (As the door shuts) I want to rip their little throats out. (Her face changes from charmingly fake to disgusted.)

Pythagoras: Someday, my dear. Someday.

The end...? Or is it? I might post some more tidbits soon!

Love and sparkles,

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! Or Singles awareness day. Whichever works for you! I don't have much to post, except this cute melancholy picture of my favorite couple! Cookies for whoever identifies them!

But seriously though, aren't they adorable? I'm not sure when in the story this would happen, but I really want to put this pic in.... Anyway, this was just a quick doodle in my sketchbook that gained a life force of its own. I may color it, I may not, but either ways, I love it! 

Love and Sparkles!

Let it go!

You know you've got a winning song when it sounds good in any language!

The Newest Disney Princesses!

Here is the next work in my "Mewify it!" series! (Name to change when I get a cuter idea) Here, I have taken the mew mews and drawn them like Disney princesses. I used "Disney approved colors" (which really means that each of the colors/skin tones used in this picture came from color matching with the Disney princesses.) as well as actual Disney faces as references. I will tell you what was used for each mew mew! Just a note, the princess I used for face reference is also the princess whose skin color I used.

Alright! From right to left!
Mint: I used Cinderella as her face reference-- I happened to find one that looked kind of sassy, just like our dear Mint! Her pose is loosely based off of one of Rapunzel's--again, so much sass! Her wings are based off of the bird wing style used again in Cinderella. Her dress color came from Jasmine, and her hair and blue accents came from Snow White's bodice.
Lettuce: I felt it was fitting to use Belle's face as reference for Lettuce! Belle has always struck me as very sweet looking but still more mature than the younger princesses. I felt she captured perfectly Lettuce's kindness and soft personality. Her pose is also loosely based off of one of Belle's. Both colors of green come from Ariel's Mermaid fins!
Ichigo: Ichigo's face is based off of Ariel! I patterned her dress design after Aurora's dress, and the color pink is from that as well. I came up with the pose myself. The red is from Snow White's hair bow. Her hair design is also mimicking Aurora's.
Zakuro: Zakuro has Aurora's face (only I changed it from smiling to Zakuro's characteristic model face) and Jasmine's pose (you probably recognize it, it's a pretty commonly used image) Purple was hard to find; most of the purple worn by princesses is more in the lilac/lavender range, not that deep magenta Zakuro usually wears. For the main color, I used the color of Ariel's seashell top, and the accent color is actually from Megara's dress in Hercules.
Pudding: Pudding is probably the most franken-mew as far as composition: I used Mulan's face for reference, but then changed to Rapunzel's eyes, for a more younger/active looking Pudding. She derives her colors from Belle's hair and dress. Actually, Zakuro has more of a mix of things used, but I actually morphed two different faces for Pudding, that's why I think of her as more mixed.

Speaking of New Disney princesses, I absolutely love Frozen! So. Freakin'. Adorable. I really love Anna and Elsa--they made it so that they complement each other perfectly! Plus, I feel a special connection, because Elsa's personality matches mine, and Anna's matches my sister, so it meant a lot to me!

I hope you enjoy this next installment! I don't know what or when the next one will be, so it will be a surprise for everyone!

Love and Sparkles,
Kayla

CONTEST!!!

That's right, readers! I am hosting a Magical Girl Ugly Sweater contest! Winner will get a prize (Seeing as there's only two people who probably read this blog regularly, competition isn't going to be too intense. But I am entering as well, so we will be having a non-biased third party judge)

So, rules of the contest!
1. You must design a Christmas sweater with a magical girl theme. Be as creative as possible.
1.5. All work must be drawn-- I don't care if you don't think you are an artist. Designer sketches don't have to be anything fancy. This is going to be judged on concept, not on skill level.
2. All work must be submitted by MONDAY DECEMBER 23rd!!!
3. To submit, follow these three easy steps!

• Draw your sweater design
• get it into the computer somehow-via scanner, photo, or industrial espionage
• upload it on a post in your blog
• Send me the link to your post in the comment section of this post!

4. On December 24th, I will have a post announcing the winners! I will also showcase all the different sweater designs.
5. By the way, this isn't an optional contest. YOU MUST DO IT OR LOKI WILL NEVER EVER VISIT YOU!!! (I bet you thought I was going to threaten you with Loki. I decided it was a lot more drastic if I threatened you with the absence of Loki. Aren't I evil?)

I can't wait to see what you come up with!
Love and Sparkles,
Kayla
