vagary[n]: an unpredictable or erratic action, occurrence, course, or instance; a whimsical, wild, or unusual idea, desire, or action. (Just to clarify.)

Whoa, okay. Clearly, trying to stick to a schedule does not work for me. I’ve just been kinda overloaded with schoolthings lately, though, so maybe now was not the best time to tackle an Advent Calendar… Oh well. I’ll still do them. I guess they’ll just have to come as batches rather than evenly spaced.

Anyway, have some old arts. :> I made this for my Color class back in May/July. I ended up turning it in on the last day of school after working on it all day, so it’s kind of a victim of procrastination and has lazy spots galore. It was incredibly fun to work on, though. I’ve never used so many colors to depict skin! It’s got the whole rainbow!

Also, fun fact—originally, the atmosphere of this picture was supposed to be MUCH darker. As in, being suffocated from behind by an evil witchmonster with black fingernails. However, the time constrictions dictated a simpler background, so I decided to completely twist around my original intent. Hence, happy pictures!
… That’s the process of a lot of my happy pictures.

Tools: chalk pastels
Size: approx. 3 feet wide?

A roundabout download link to the song I'm trying to reference in the title, since it's what I listened to most while drawing this: [link] I haven't been able to find that exact version of Sovay anywhere else, but it's the one that introduced me to Andrew Bird and it's the one I like best.
Actually, I really like all of the songs on that mix, so there we go.
