Description
good lord this took like all day! ;n;anyways, this is my most recent picture to show that I can still sort of work
and also to show off some major mello pride!! hecks yeah!!
and, as always, I have an alternate reason to post this!!
I play the French Horn in concert band and the mellophone in marching band. BUT whenever I tell my friends I play mellophone they go, "mellophone? what's that?" and I get all sad!
so this is spreading mellophone awareness!
also, as a diversion/stress relief, I decided to make a "marching band picture diary with minor alterations" lol
in a nutshell, the stories are loosely based on things that happen to my friends and I in marching band, BUT WITH A TWIST!!
This girl is one of the main characters.
and if it's hard to see or something, the music in her flip folder is "HEY, BABY!" but I couldn't find the music so I just wrote it lol
I'll give more details as I work and draw out the other people and sections, but for now expect a wave of mello pride!!
WOOT!!
Art and concepts (c) akane hiwa aka sketchis
mellophone I got help from some website lol it's a king model! so cool!!

Ah, marching band. We have a fairly small one, so tentions are very high. The Stress kills you 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol our band had well over 250 members, excluding colorguard xD
the tensions we had were being upset at the flutes and clarinets for not holding their instuments high enough or not rushing to their chart fast enough xD
