Description Just some concept sketches to help me form the little story brewing in my head. Expect more from these two in the future.

TL;DR... Here's what I have so far:

Orpheus: You can call him your average Victorian street urchin. He first came into my mind when I saw Marion Lee's get-ups on Project Runway 4. They reminded me immediately of Oliver Twist. You might find it superficial, but when I saw him wearing a ragamuffin outfit, this little guy strolled into my mind. (He's eliminated now, though. And even if the elimination was deserved, but, still. ) Orpheus is smarter than the normal waif and, his name is VERY HEAVILY alluded... It's not your average Victorian name, eh? He's... about 12-13 years of age... preferably younger. He needs MORE tinkering with.

Victoria. And there will be two. This girl literally leaped into my mind when Tenten said "Magenta". xD I'm torn between making her as a fashion designer under a struggling label or an art history student... and she MUST be in her early twenties. I'm still sculpting her character... and I have to make her less-superficial than she is right now. I'm thinking Neil Gaiman's ingenious portrayal of "Death". She was a GREAT character in The Sandman.

Alright, must stop rambling now. xD

Yes, I will get back to drawing more colorful and fun and stuff that actually took more effort. xD NOW. ;3

Texture from here: [link]

EDIT: I realized how weird the title was. xD

So, can orpheus sing and make music really well then? As long as there's no Hades scene involving him, we're all cool. =]

The intelligent street urchin? Oliver Twist? Gavroche? Which reminds me, you need to tell me more about this little idea brewing in your head, ne?

Call me, or if that still doesn't work, we have Y!Messenger.

Naaaaah, it's a "steampunk fairytale", inspired by, of course, Pushing Daisies, and Project Runway.

I'll call you tonight, Zander-pants. It IS Christmas Eve.

I love her hair and dress. @_@ <3
And the pose where he is reaching up? That's really nice. What is going on though? He looks tied up or something. D:

xD Yep, the dress was kind of an afterthought... I loved drawing his legs for some reason. o.O Thanks!

He's supposed to be holding on to a bunch of balloons. xD But I got lazy and decided not to draw the balloons. xD
