Description The evening had turned into night a while ago, but Chloe still struggled to sleep. They had kept looking for Myra's letter, but in the end, they had found nothing. Why wasn't there anything from her? Maybe she just didn't write a letter for some reason?

"I don't need you. No one does."

Chloe sighed deeply. Why did that come to her mind every time she thought of Myra now? She knew it was silly, she shouldn't worry about it. It hadn't really been Myra. It was just an illusion trying to trick her. It hadn't been real. She really shouldn't...

But every time she tried to imagine Myra just being her carefree self, her face quickly twisted into an expression full of contempt.

"No one does."

The words echoed in her mind as she finally drifted to sleep.

I really liked how the colors came out in this picture but then the scanner had to completely destroy the shade of blue and no amount of editing could bring it back. *sobs* I swear I'll rescan this at some point and upload it again!

If you don't know what this part is talking about, go read this: [link] I haven't drawn Chloe without her scarf in a long time! I guess she does have to take it off sometimes. :'D

Aww Chloe. It's gonna be okay. Myra doesn't think this of you, nor anyone for that matter. Sweet dreams

Oh I recognise that; I mean how the paper became too wet and is like spitting little deep coloured balls of fibre. It happened to me so many times when I try watercolour I've preferred guasch technique for so long because of that.

Also lol at how Opal is drolling in the background

Well, that can also create a nice texture I think, it can just turn bad really easy if you overdo it. Watercolors are really tricky, and I haven't used them much either because I don't really like how little you can control them.

Haha, thanks. It was fun to come up with a sleep position for Opal~

Does Opal snore? If she does, I bet that wouldn't help Chloe feel any better.

Hmm, I don't know. She doesn't even have a nose, but I guess you couldsnore without that too. xD I think she doesn't really snore, at least not loudly. But you're right, that would be a potential explanation to why Chloe couldn't sleep. xD

Sleeping Opal is hilarious. And oh my goodness, I've actually been wondering for a while that Chloe would look like without her scarf. .w. Does she wear it that way because she's nervous about what her neck looks like or just because it looks good that way? eue

ShrubSparrow In reply to MixedMelodies [2013-01-31 21:23:24 +0000 UTC]

Haha, yes she is! And I think Chloe just likes to keep her scarf on like that. She isn't that conserned about her looks. n_n

As serious as this is, I can't help but giggle a bit at how Opal sleeps. XD

Yeeeeah, it was a lot of fun for me as well. xD I meant to draw her sleeping pretty normally, but when this picture came to my mind I just couldn't NOT do it.
