"Witty Easter related title goes here!"

Sorry I've been gone for so long!! Man it really has been a while, but work's been keeping me REALLY busy, we were severly understaffed when I applied, and since then we've lost one employee, and as of today another. Neither one was fired, both had to leave Subway to pursue better paying employment....Sad to see them go, but we had hired some new employees, one of them however is really really slow, and the other, though he applied to be an opener/closer said that he can't handle the pressure and wants to be a normal employee...We desperately need openers and closers, so I may be getting trained to close up shop, while my sister, Ami, gets trained to open up shop....All that rambling translates to "I'm going to have severly less time for sewing, posting, and cosplay."

I suppose somewhere in this post, you're expecting a "Happy Easter!!!" so there that is, I hope it was a good one for everyone, I realize it's almost over where I live (it's 11:45 PM), and probably completely over in other places. Anyway, I don't have any new cross stitches to post (although I am currently working on Missy-Tannenbaum's Ryo-ohki pattern ^.^), and Although I'm really far along in my cosplays (relatively speaking) I don't have any pics to upload of them either...

What I do have are two drawings I managed to accomplish, One of which happens to go with today's theme!!!!!!!! HAPPY EASTER, from a rather irritated Seifer Almasy (KHII version). There are two versions of this picture, both of which will be posted below!

The first one is the color version. This effect was achieved by drawing him out with pencil, going over those lines in black ink with a nib-tipped pen, then pencil shading all of the shadows, after that I scanned it into my computer and used layers of transparent color to give him this sort of "vintage" look!

The Greyscale shown here is simply the pencil and ink shaded sketch.

You can see the full size versions of both of these, as well as many other drawings of mine at http://www.kakashi-copycat-kun.deviantart.com !

Also for you today I have a colored ink sketch of Gaara from Naruto Shippuden! I love the manga-like look to this, with just a dash of color to add some contrast and make it interesting.

Anyway, I hope you all are having a great day (or night I suppose (-.-') ) I will try to post more often but with this whole work schedule thing...I don't know how well I'll be able to hold up that promise. Anyway have a good night and I'll see ya next time!!!!!!!!
