Description I've been procrastinating.
On everything.
A lot.

So, well...


Have an extremely-stylized Mapleshade!

I'm actually pretty proud of this, and it was fun to draw as well. I like not having to worry about anatomy or realism anything~ ouo

This is just how I imagine Mapleshade in my head, but originally I thought of her as a dark tortoiseshell. She annoyed me to no end in Crookedstar's Promise, but I really do like her as a character; I mean, she actually has a personality and a good backstory that makes her a believable villain, even if she went too far with her revenge.

Program: PSE 7
Time taken: An hour, more or less.
Songs listened to: Various 3OH!3 songs, for some reason...

Also! Please try to tell me if you end up using my drawings in videos or anything else, I'm just kind of like ".... o-o" when I randomly come across something and someone has used my stuff. |D; You don't have to, but I'd feel better if you did.

I used Photoshop Elements 7 actually, the pixel tool makes it look similar to MS Paint. C:

do you mind if people edit your art, without giving credit? not that i would, im just curious, i know someone who edited this image and reposted it and didnt seem to ever tell you soo i  was wondering if you would be irritated by that or not

No, I'm not okay with that at all. I'm fine with people using my art in character tributes but not anything like this. Thanks so much for telling me, do you have the link to where it was reposted?

ZiraSeishin In reply to Optimistic-Whiteout [2013-11-28 19:12:18 +0000 UTC]

it's not this piece in particular, it's actuallly something you drew of dovewing a while back (i just accidentally commented on this one haah)

but it is shimmer_edits on instagram : instagram.com/shimmer_edits . and no problem, she's used one of my friend's art and never credits anything she reposts, claiming the artists don't care of the images were 'free to use'. :/ and it's really starting to bother me.

The link doesn't seem to be working for some reason, did she delete her account?

I'm so sorry she used your friend's art as well. asfjsdlkg I can't believe people even do this sort of thing. ewe

Thank you so much! ;u; <3 And she's probably one of my favorite villains, but I think Scourge is my favorite. But she's definitely above Raggedstar on my list, too.
