Description So, I just found this old gift card from my, like, 11th birthday to this local art store, so I picked up a pack of watercolor paper and some good old German watercolors. (No, seriously, everything was in german. Even the color names. Did you know "orange" is still the same?) But, you know, lucky me, I know my colors.

So, considering I'm not very good with watercolors, I tried to give it a shot. (This is my first real picture with them. >>; )

(German watercolors + white china ink + normal black ink + National Lampoon's Vacation or whatever)

-----

And as for the picture, I kind of had this little story bubbling in my head to keep me sane because I had no internet at my dad's house yesterday.

What if, in Africa, (or some fictional world resembling Africa) there was only one herd of pure white elephants left, because humans were killing them for their skin? And what if, in that one herd, there was on elephant none of the other elephants liked? And, what if, for one hour, they had the opportunity to turn one of the elephants into another animal permenantly? AND, what if, they decided to use the outcast and turn him into a bug and squash him? But, what if the outcast spoke first, and decided to become a human? AND THEN, what if he decided, now that he has the powers of a human, he wanted to save all the rest of the elephants from extinction? Hm?

Maybe you'll be seeing more of "Elephant" later.

And you can tell he was an elephant because he has a big nose. xD

Ohh, thanks so much!
Haha, yeah, I was thinking of that, but if it was white, I think he would be waaaay too conspicuous. But, he dresses in all white, so it's all good. ;D

now that I look at it again, your elephants remind me of that one unicorn in the shirt design. And what about that watercolor in art class??? Does that not count?

Mmmmkay... wait.. did you just say that those elephants look like unicorns? I AM SO INSULTED. XDDDD Yeah, they are kinda pudgy and stuff. And, no, the art class one doesn't count because we had to do that one and I had no idea wtf I was doing. I was just messing around with that one. (And it kind of sucked.) >>;

I'm saying that the elephants remind me of the unicorn because of the style. But insulted is good too.

You wish. You do realize that the only boy that ever claimed to love you lives on the other side of the U. S. He doesn't even see you half of the time and here you are claiming a name that no one else can use. Very stupid if you ask me. Yet here I am arguing about it.

YEAH. SO I guess if you're arguing about it then it's not stupid! Wait... what? Anyway... at least some dude my age LOVES ME. HAH. xD
