Description I'm sure we've all had this happen...right?

------------

Fooling around with character designs, mostly, and the line "The days when it rained mice were the worst" had been sitting on a note on my desktop for awhile. The two just kinda went together...

I know what it can be like....ugh...rain.
The hair and the coat are the best parts of it, the whole shruged shoulders thing looks cute as well.

It is very cute. And somewhat goth-ish.

And I love how you colored her jeans.

Awesome.
You know, for anyone else, "Caught in the rain" would be some kind of fanservicey anime fanart or something.
But this is so much better than that.

Kay, can't find it! But as I can recall... there's been dead rats/mice (Whatever), frogs and... I forget the other one but yeah. It happened.

Other than that... very cute! I love it!

But at least even the weirdest of zoolo-meteorological events can be made somewhat better by wearing an awsome black leather trenchcoat.

Great picture.
The mouse bouncing off her umbrella looks as if she likes it.
Is there a secret staircase for mice to climb up to the sky and rain down again?

Imagine hearing the patter of rain AND little mousy feet. All right, I guess it would be more of a 'bump...bump...squeak squeak...bump!'

Does the young woman have a name? (Because with that red fringe and the trenchcoat, she looks like she should.)

ursulav In reply to cmayyin [2007-07-29 14:41:56 +0000 UTC]

I dunno. I will say that I currently have red bangs (even if the rest is more merlot than black) and own a black trenchcoat, though...
