Casey Costumes

After this post I'm going to have to set Spooky Spencerville aside for a bit --I keep giving myself the heebie jeebies while researching (actually, it was that damn animated Korean horror comic that gave me nightmares for two days. If you've seen it, you'll know the one I mean) so I've got to take a breather on it.

Here's Casey in a few costume changes. Casey's the lead character, an 11 year old girl in grade 5. She'd like to join after-school soccer, but her mother works late, so Casey has to go straight home to look after her brother, Calder.

I like her little round head and button nose... Couldn't figure out a winter look for her. Will come back to that later...

More from Russia, with love.

Costuuumes!

Kind of got on a Spooky Spencerville kick (which is a terrible thing to get on when I'm working from home, because I invariably start researching urban legends for it, and I invariable wind up reading Japanese ones, and I invariable wind up so jumpy and scared that I have to hide in a corner until The Boy gets home...It's safer to just watch Supernatural while I work) and wanted to try dressing up some of the cast... Here's Terri-Lynn

Looking back at this, I think I'm going to change up her winterwear to include boots... This mild winter just had me confused enough to wear ballet flats for a lot of it.

Quick Terri

I liked yesterday's drawing of Casey so much I decided to do one of Terri-Lynn in the same style (I like drawing the girls better than the boys, heh). She came out a bit ganglier than I usually like, but these are just for fun, and I need to update more, so here she is.

Terri-Lynn is Jake's older sister. She's 14, in the seventh grade, and goes to the junior high near the elementary Casey, Jake, and the others go to. She mostly stays in her room messing around on her computer. When she does emerge she makes fun of Jake or argues with her mom. She's a mysterious teenager and the other kids are a bit scared of her.

quick Casey

I'm lame and never update. I'll probably never get ahead in the world as a result!
Decided to spend the evening doing something nice for myself (something I don't think I've done since... uh... university?Oh dear...) and wound up making a quick sketch of Casey (Spooky Spencerville). I'd probably make more personal art if I took more personal time... I need to balance my life.

Anyway, here she is. I guess she's gonna hit a lightswitch or something?
(EDIT: click on her to see her lightboxed. looks better)

I have a guest article on the Sur La Lune Blog today! A review of Panna a Netvor (my favourite movie!) written for Fairy Tale Film month. Check it out, and please leave a comment! I crave the attention.
