Description
I never got to see her clean. Her hair was leaf-free and really, really dark black. Her eyes were a bold blue, and wide open. They contrasted her tanned face. And she looked very out of place in my clothes. ~Runaways,PHEEWW! This took FOREVER!!! I got the idea when I wrote the words above, and it took me about 2 weeks! Probably 10 or so hours altogether! I looked up a bunch of tutorials for shading the skin, hair, clothes, and somewhat the background. I pretty much COPIED the eyes from and I feel bad, but I'm trying to learn. So basically, I just copied a bunch of stuff for shading and detailing it. By the way, these were the tutorials I used:
Hair and skin: [link] §ion=&q=shading+skin#/d2m2xh4
Clothes: [link] §ion=&q=shading+clothes#/d1atmbm
Background: [link] §ion=&q=background+tut#/d27getn
And another tut that I can't find about transferring pencil art to the computer.
So, I scanned the paper I drew it on, using the tutorial above, and I used GIMP to color and edit it. And that's it.
I really felt like doing this moment for some reason. I don't know. It's right after Olivia takes a shower and Limpo and Malloon (the little puffy hair dudes in the bottom corners) see Olivia clean for the first time. Anyway, here's a link to the chapter where this happens: [link]

Yes, I've started it on here! I used to have several chapters, but since I decided to start over, I only have three now, and I think I changed this quote.
It's about these three kids who have run away from tough situations and ended up living together in an apartment. It's not a proper story, since there's no actual plot - just a series of events. But if you want to read it, here's the link to the first chapter: fav.me/d6fxs7h

I read all of them including the fourth one, and it's a really good story.
You have a catchy way of writing and your characters are good too, and funny. I like their names, by the way. How did you think of them?
I hope you keep writing it.

Thank you so much! I came up with the names on a whim when I was ten (I was a strange child XD). I definitely will keep writing it, and I'm really happy you enjoy the series! (For being awesome)

Haha. Well, that's brilliant, because those are the best sort of things... the ones we come up with on a whim, that is.
You're welcome, by the way. I'll keep reading them if you write more.
