Description
Also cross uploaded to my tumblr.I finally finished this the other day whilst waiting for John and Hank Green to sign a few things for me when I went to their signing in London.
I'm just so happy this is finally finished. Some of you may recognise the picture as being similar to one from a photoshoot he did last year, that's because this was referenced from that.
It was really funny because I was drawing this on the tube during rush hour, abd people sort of formed this giant semi circle around me just to watch me draw XD it was brilliant. Some people even tried to sneakily take pictures of me/my drawing in progress XD their faces were a picture though when I started using magenta on the hair XD
Watercolour pencils
Various hours here or there
Sorry for the quality of the photo, my phone camera isn't as good as I sometimes wish it was.

I know that feeling, it's actually psychological (and now I'm professional) that 13 year olds make OC's.
You'll find that a lot of Mary-Sue OC's are the fulfilment of the artists desires, but using a template for an already existing character in an attractively abstract world.
If they can replicate that design and insert themselves (usually names first, but these are soon cut down to be more conspicuous).
I was just worried my art would always suck ass.

Oh wow, I didn't know that. (I'm taking psychology next year, this will be interesting when we go in depth about the psych and this sort of thing.)
Ah I see Thinking back to one of my characters, she was going to be a spy :') I've always had a fascination with spies and at one point wanted to be one, but I have such low self-esteem and a proclivity for procrastination I knew it would never happen.
As my dad says; practise, practise, practise (or is it with a 'c'... I can never remember because both are a verb and a noun so it's really confusing). But then, people are always really self-critical of their work. I saw your Doctor's scarf and that is incredible by the way I would never have the patience to make one.

Oh, why thank you! It takes a long time...but it looks better every day! Knitting isn't something you just drop, you feel compelled to complete it!
I do feel bad about polluting your comment section...

You're very welcome I've tried knitting in the past and I have completed a purple fluffy scarf (my first one
yay) but it has so many holes in it where I've dropped stitches it's ridiculous.
Haha, nah, it's fine. I very rarely get comments any more where all the old people I used to talk to have left and the other comments I do get are from real life friends, so it's nice to talk to someone who can hold a conversation over the internet again

XD How much? (I'm hoping to get a lifeguarding job within the next month so if you have an online shop or something I can bookmark it)
I don't cosplay but I would wear it out and about My friends and I like to go to London to go to youtuber concerts and stuff and we always wear something fandom related (last time it was my Captain America t-shirt for me and a DanIsNotOnFire t-shirt for my friend, etc.)

Well, I want to put it at €45, but I havent handled shipping yet (hah),
It will take about a month of good kitting to make one.
The colurs and pattern are vey accurate, I might say this is a decent replica.

The problem with this site, is that it has become plagued by Instagramers and crappy OC's, so art like *this*, gets clouded up.
There REALLY should be a better site that's directs towards an audience you are looking for.
Also, these eyes.
They are beautiful.

Thank you Sadly I was one of the bad OC drawers 3 years ago when I first joined this site, though that was when all the amazing artists were still on here.
I completely agree with the instagram comment. That is not art. Well, not in my opinion anyway (I have made various journals about my opinion on art these days, sometimes I fear people will just get annoyed with me for it).
I have cross-posted this on my tumblr and tagged it with the relevant tags but tumblr doesn't lend itself to the keeping followers as deviantART does. You can watch a user even though they haven't updated for a few days, but if you did that on tumblr you'd be unfollowed pretty much instantly no matter how good you are.
Thanks again I love drawing eyes, they were the first things I learnt to truly draw (thank you Isaiah)
