In which I watch five episodes of Fringe and drink tea.

Today I have mostly been watching a lot of Fringe and sketching. The one in the top right is Olivia from Fringe. The bottom one is supposed to be me (if only I was that cute in real life!). Behold, hands! Getting there I think, now if I can just get every character to have their hands splayed out or grasping some kind of pole.. I am a particular fan of this little monster:

Perhaps drawing small is the way to go. Super fierce Perry. I also want her booties.

I need to pluck up the courage to sort out that (kind of) finished little strip that I started. I scanned it, but had issues with everything going blurry near the spine, so I may have to hack the page out of my sketchbook. Or get a bigger scanner. I also need to figure out how to do text/speech bubbles, I have no idea how to plan out frames.

Man this is a bigger job than I thought it would be.

Princess Peregrine Snowflake

This is Princess Peregrine Snowflake, my baby. Well, early stages of her at least. I really want to make something out of her, but I have no idea what. Yes, she's a Princess, but after becoming obsessed with Game of Thrones I want to make her kickass and awesome like Arya. So there's room for many dragon-fighting adventures but I have no idea how to get there, I don't even know how to begin!

I figure she's not very old, still a mischievous kid - about 12-13 perhaps, bored of pampered palace life and yearns for adventure and shit. Too cliché? It is isn't it? I totally picture her with a sword and a bow and learning that life outside the castle walls is pretty darn terrifying. maybe I should take a leaf out of Perry's book and venture outside of my room. I am hopeless at this, I always have been, but I really need to knuckle down and THINK because I know I can do this! I am determined to bring this thing to life before the end of the year, to have some sort of story in motion, with characters and bad guys and a fully fleshed-out adventure happening. 

Don't let me give up.
