Midnight Projects

I have really been having the most rotten string of luck lately. It has been a loooong seven days! Last Monday I crashed my bike into a bunch of bushes due to a dusty path and a lack of traction on said dusty path for my tires to cling to. They just skidded out from under me and left me with an interesting collection of cuts on my hands and a massive carpet burn on my knee. Oh and a sore shoulder, that too. I picked myself off the ground and finished my trip to school, needing to attend class.

I was stiff all of Tuesday, but I dealt. Wednesday however.. I got hit by a car that knocked me clean off my bike. I smashed my chin on the curb, picked myself up, prepared to continue on to class and had to stop because I was bleeding all over myself and hadn't noticed. Some witnesses saw me get hit and came over to help me; One of them called an ambulance and I was greeted by a lot of police officers and paramedics who asked me a lot of questions and took me to the hospital, even though I insisted I didn't have the time, I needed to get to class.

Turns out my whack on the chin was worse than I thought, even with the massive amounts of blood on my hands. I had to get three stitches put in, and tomorrow I get them removed. I'll have a lovely scar and had to stay home from Thursdays classes because I could hardly move, but my muscles are no longer sore and aching with every move I make; my worst injury is my chin and my knee (that I whacked again and the scab likes to split when I stress my knee too much). Within a few more days I should be right as rain!

Anyways, a doodle I made today during my lunch break. This is Rebel and Ninja, who I very much missed. Me and my friend opened up a new RP and I knew right away I wanted to use these characters again, as the RP I HAD introduced them to, died. I'll also have a chance to RP Yukio, though he's mostly going to be a plot device as he's too unstable and I can't control him on his own. He needs someone to obey.. and I think we've worked this out.

Right, so this is pretty much a process thing cause I had a large number of sketches for this idea.. I like drawing up inch tall thumbs of what I'm going to draw, generally just the bodies, maybe hair, props, clothes, but tiny things. I wanted to practice it on a slightly larger scale and then wound up drawing it to finish.. I don't normally do an actual mock up, but it happened because I got carried away. Then the final drawing, inked, cleaned up, flats and shaded. As usual I'm probably going to get bored and paint in that as actual painting, but I think I'd like to draw Tinette and whatever is underneath all those multiple multiple cloaks these two are wearing.

Posted mostly for the benefit of Corrin x3 because I know she enjoys things like this.
