Description hey, kids! I'm alive! hyukhyuk

Sorry I disappeared for, like, a month. I never forgot about anybody, I swear! I just had some difficulties with school and giant family issues, but I'm cool now and I got my stuff together and-- GASP.

I'll be submitting art to 'advertise' my upcoming fanfiction that-I-haven't-talked-about-because-I'm-shy about Hiccup and Astrid and summer fun and yay. I'm so excited

and yeeeeahhh, I'll be getting to those sketches some people requested, they'll be up soon, I PROMISE.

and the title is from Brackett, WI by Bon Iver, who I've been listening to like crazy since his album kinda leaked... but I only got the song Calgary, WHICH I am obsessed with currently. but I thought the title kinda fit because she likes axes... yeah.

quick coloring sketch is crappy. MY TABLET IS FIXED. turns out I just had to re-install some updated Wacom packages from their site. heh. technology + me do not mix.

Yees, it is a flower brush. Unfortunately, I have no idea where I downloaded it from! I believe it was here on dA but I have no idea.
and, yeup, you're right! it's supposed to be read as Brackett, Wisconsin. you should listen to it! It's got your motherland in the titlee

euchre is pronounced (yook-er)

It's a card game that nobody south of the Dakotas knows how to play. Usually.

Bawwww, she's so pretty! The expression on her face is just.... nice. (Word-choice fail.) It's just so gentle and kindly.... not an expression we see on Astrid a lot, so it's kind of refreshing. Love the soft colors, too. Everything about this is just cool.

aww, thank you! I'm so glad you like it! yeah, I was worried she'd look a bit too 'nice', lol, but I'm so happy it looks okay. thank youu!
