I drew this the other day when I was sort of depressed. I really like it though.. I'm quite fond of how it turned out. I'll be coloring it, but I dunno if I'll upload the colored version here or on my deviantart account. We'll see.

Oh, and btw.. those aren't tatoos, those are actual stitches. She was patterened after Sally from "Nightmare Before Christmas" like a rag doll.. yeah.

But I really like this pic. Yep.

Very well done.What I find strange is that I today at school, being bored with no work like usual, I drew something like Sally also.I think yours looks way better though.

Posted: Thursday, 24 April, 2003 @ 06:30 PM

Funny... The first thing I thought of when I glanced to the picture was.... Sally from "The Nightmare Before Christmas".

Very nice. Wish I had her boots... Well, I really have nothing more to say. Except, perhaps, what I've already state. Very nice. nod

OMG! I love her stockings! hides heh.. dont ask. I really like this picture,you know what it reminds me of? Those guys from the Nightmare Before Christmas movie? dunno..it just..does. If u havent seen the movie then u prolly have no idea what im talking about, XD. Once again..the shading is amazing,as is the picture. I really like it

Posted: Thursday, 24 April, 2003 @ 11:34 PM

Very nice indeed.What is your deviantart account?

Posted: Friday, 25 April, 2003 @ 12:24 PM

if you'd like to see my stuff on deviant, go here: http://odduckoasis.deviantart.com/ ^^

Posted: Thursday, 24 April, 2003 @ 11:43 PM

o_O THAT'S AWSOME! I like her shirt. Heck I like her whole outfit. XD nodnod You should do more of these.. gothy-kind o' peeps. XD I like goth. Goth rules. You agree? poke

Never seen Nightmare Before Christmas though.. is it good tho?

Posted: Friday, 25 April, 2003 @ 12:24 PM

Yesh, it is good. One of my favorite movies actually. It's all done in claymation, which is such a fastinating and tedious type of animation. But it's great for sure. ^^;

Posted: Thursday, 24 April, 2003 @ 11:46 PM

I love the Nightmare Before Christmas! I havn't wached it in a while though... shrugs This turned out very nicely, and you portraded(sp?) some of Sally's feature quite well. I do hope to see this colored. ^_^

Posted: Friday, 25 April, 2003 @ 12:25 PM

Didn't actually mean to portray too many of her features exactly... but when I thought of the idea of the picture, Sally popped into my head. XD;; But it's not suppose to BE Sally.. ^_~ But yeah, thanx.

Hey, I was going to comment on this last night but my dad kicked me off before I could finish ¬¬;;; I really like this pic for 2 reasons accually. You drew it very nicely, like usual, for one. The other reason is cuz she reminds me of me at the moment; slowly falling apart at the seams but still trying to keep myself held together the best I can. Yeah... things aren't too good right now. Meh... I'll have to tell ya about it later, just like usual ^^ Hugz Meh like lots!

Posted: Friday, 25 April, 2003 @ 01:17 PM

snugs Carmen Sorry you're life is all blah at the moment and seeming that way. That's really hard... I know. You'll make it though.. trust me. snugs again I'm glad ye likey this pic. ^^; Some of my fave pics are ones I draw when I'm emotional, they turn out the bestest and it seems more ppl can relate to them as well. nods So yeah... but we'll talk later yerp. snugs again ^^

Posted: Friday, 25 April, 2003 @ 01:01 PM

Ooh, she's spooky :p I like her boots too! They kinda look like a girl version of Ethans. I like her eyes. they are very creepy in a cool freaky sort of way.

Posted: Friday, 25 April, 2003 @ 09:00 PM
