Aahhh... in an attempt to quell my CODE-RAGE ( I've been having problems implimenting some new things on my website ) I felt a need to do art. I've been trying to do some traditional art but I've been a bit meh. I attribute it to Winter Blues, it starts to get dark around 4:00 pm >>;. And yes I know it's Autumn but.. WINTER BLUES!

Anyhow, so I went on the main computer today and finished up something I started a while ago but got sidetracked by Anime Weekend Atlanta and doing the Halloween comic.

If you haven't figured it out yet: This is Thistle. Her new design. That's not to say this is trhe only redesign of her there can't be other incarnations of her, she's a special character and one I think I can try that with. I'm not really an artist/writer who is big in the habit of "recycling" characters, or having a particular character appear through multiple works. But I'm also an artist/writer who is not in the habit of wasting a perfectly good character. So this is probably an excellant opprotunity for me to try this multiple incarnation business.

I also dunno if this outfit is permanent (I do like drawing her in different costumes) but its pretty funky isn't it? Kind of a Mardi Gras scheme.
