Rating: PG-13 (blood, stabbing and non-sexual nudity).
Notes:
Drawn for [livejournal.com profile] flo_nelja during [livejournal.com profile] obscur_echange's 7th round.
She asked for a villain following fairy tales patterns. I provided a villain who is adapted from a fairy tale. AND follows the tale's pattern. You know, incidentally. >__>
The original tale is here, BUT IT'S IN FRENCH.
I did it at the last minute, so it's rushed. Plus I couldn't scan it so it's dirty. I liked my idea and composition (IT ACTUALLY HAS ONE, THAT'S AN IMPROVEMENT FOR ME OKAY) and I'm embarrassed by how crappy the finished product looks. Sorry Nelja! ;__;

Crappy drawing under the cut ~  )


And there's a ficlet that goes with it, describing the scene.
BUT IT'S IN FRENCH.

I'm kinda stuck on my writing right now.
As always, my sleeping pattern is completely fucked up, so I'm exhausted, and my tutoring job wears me down.
(I have two students: one's a sweet kid and I love teaching him, but the other one is a horrible brat who never wants to work and spends the entire hour getting on my nerves by every mean he can think of, and frankly, they don't pay me enough for fighting with him to get his damn homework done.)

I'm trying to get myself to write something and resume progressing with everything I've said I'd do.
Right now I'm going back on the prompts left from last November and trying to get something out of them. Specifically, from [personal profile] flo_nelja 's Wardstone Chronicles prompt. It's an awesome prompt! And I've meant to write something in this fandom for a while.
But damn it, Tom is hard to write. Writing him in English when I've only read him in French doesn't help, either. The Wardstone Chronicles' wiki is pretty damn useless as far as quotes or English names. I can't even find the original name for the slimy dead witches things!

Also, I know I'm horribly late with my roleplay, too. I'll try getting back on that later.
ishime: (juugo - hell yeah)
Being late as I always am, I'm gonna kick myself in the ass and put two awesome female characters in one post. >__>U
Besides, both of them come from the same series and the reasons they are awesome are sort of similar, so...

03 - Alice, from The Wardstone Chronicles (aka L'épouvanteur in French).

No, I am not finished squeeing about those books. I LOVE them, to the point where I'd choose them over Harry Potter anyday.
I have many reasons to love them - the dark atmosphere, the dark themes, the openly agnostic POV, the bestiary... But the main reason, as often with me, is the characters. And especially the female ones, and the gender dynamics.

And here comes some of Alice's witchy awesomeness ~ <3 )

04. Tom's mother, from The Wardstone Chronicles.

And here comes the awesomest mother character I've ever seen \o/ )
