The problem for me with looking at fashion (historical and some of the really cool current stuff), is that I always want to go and make a new world around it.

-sob- Guys, I have a circus story because I like circus costumes, an Edwardian story because I like Edwardian clothes, ect…..

Maybe I’ll just throw some of it into Chimera? It could use some more world building and there’s a lot of traveling in that one……….

Also, some of you have inquired if I would ever take any of my stories and make them webcomics. Guys, THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT I WANT TO BE DOING EVER SINCE I STARTED ON CHIMERA IN MIDDLE SCHOOL. It’s just that my anxiety gets in the way. But I am making progress on that, so maybe in a couple more years? And I actually have had a webcomic before, but it was pretty poorly done because I wasn’t sure what program I wanted to use to draw it and I hadn’t discovered my love for brush and ink yet. You can actually find most of the old Meiamo pages in my archives. I’ll put the tag on this so that you guys can have an easier time going back and finding it. There’s not very much of it though because not long after starting it, I started having seizures and my AVM was discovered and that combined with my anxiety and depression which we didn’t know about yet, meant I was a wreck.

There weren’t any power outages during Hurricane Sandy, so I never ended up using all those lovely Power-Outage Prompts.  But to reward you three, I’m still going to try to do most of them.  Here is my sketch for ButterflyParadox’s prompt of my characters making jack-o-lanterns.

Alex’s jack-o-lantern is very classic, though I imagine his will get more creative as he grows older.  Meiamo’s is goofy, just like she is.  Yoko wanted to do a carving of Nosferatu, so she found a stencil to use and went from there.

It ran for a glorious couple of months until I got too busy.  Then it came back for two weeks only to be shoved aside by my health problems.

I swear my art and paneling has gotten so much better since back then.
