Description
Argus (AHR-guhs) noun - An alert and observant person; a watchful guardian.[After Argus, a giant in Greek mythology who had 100 eyes and was sent to watch over Zeus's lover Io. He was killed by Hermes and after his death his eyes transformed into spots on the peacock's tail.]
Michelle downloaded a trial version of OpenCanvas and is enjoying herself quite a bit thank you. She also needs to stop talking in third person.
I have a habit of doodling up my characters as mythological creatures a lot... Currently up for the fantasy makeover are my characters Alex and ChloΓ© as a priest (or something like that) and a mermaid respectively. Alex is always looking after CholΓ© since she has a knack for getting herself in stupid and sometimes dangerous situations so I thought "Argus" was an appropriate title for a priest carrying an unconscious mermaid (that and I'm a myth freak)
Come up with a story for this and leave it in your comment. I can't think of anything good at the moment without having to add blood to the illustration because I'm a sick bastard.
Poses were based of the lovely stock photo seen here -> [link] provided by who has the most wonderful stock images. Go bow to her <3

I'M A MYTH FREK TOO! 8D I just forgot most of it. ;_; BUT I'M STUDYING UP. XD And It must be working because I saw the title and I was like ZOMG JUST LIKE IN GREEK MYTHLOGY.
Argghh I love your colouring. X3 LOL and even if your background is half-assed at least it's there, and it works. =3 My backgrounds always fail. D=
Nice!

MYTH FREAKS UNITE! XD In all honesty I've forgotten a lot of it too. I was searching for a shiny word I could use as a title and wound up finding 'Argus' and went "This seems cool. Wait.... I REMEMBER THIS!!! XD" I swear myths were the only thing I ever payed attention to in English.
And towards my background - Thaaaank yooooou. <3 And yours do not suck! DX

Of COURSE I'll go! What kind of person do you think I am?! Btw, any ideas on what would be a good gift for her? Or should I just poke my sister into buying a small bottle of a random vodka or similar alcoholic substance?

<33!
Um.. I was planning on drawing something for her. Also, she asked that I chip in so that Ally doesn't buy ALL of the drinks. Which is not a problem at all for me.
If you wanted to bring some alcohol, you can, I'm sure. I'm not certain what she really likes, though.... Actually! She kiles Killian beer. Though I think Ally's already bringing that...
8D PS: She says we should sleep over so we don't have to worry about how we're getting home or how late.

I just don't know what to get her - but I guess a painting can be a good way out..... What kind of stuff does she like?
Wish me luck convincing my mom on that.

I don't know at all, I'm sorry x3.
Ha. Tell her that the party is probably going to be late, and rather than schlepping home or calling her at odd hours, you can sleep over. I'll be there! 8D
