I'd appreciate it if you comment before you fav~! :]


Graphite pencil practice
turned into something more useful
and slightly maudlin;
a supplementary illustration for a
self-assigned writing exercise, titled "Icarus".

I decided to kill, err, touch two birds with one stone
so this also acts as 35. Walk of my 100 Themes.
(Yes, I'm taking on this! Albeit, with lack of order.)

This makes me very very sad.

It makes me also think about the world that never was, from Kingdom hearts.

A lost soul, without a name. Trying to find something to shed some light on her daily walks.

I can go on all night just saying my thoughts.

errr.....never mind. my final thought,


I think your drawings are improving . Nice work, keep it up reluktantly :3.

Aw, I didn't mean to make you sad. ;o
Your thoughts make me want to show you the story I wrote for it.

But I really appreciate your comments on my work. ^^
You are always so observant and thorough.

P.S.:
Never say "never mind" when conveying a thought.
