Heart to heart chat time, folks.

Part of the way through drawing this I had something of an epiphany. Kind of. Some time recently, I think over this past summer, I feel like I hit a milestone in terms of art.

Ever since I was a little girl, way back when I started getting into Sailor Moon, I've wanted to draw well. I can still remember the first time I tried drawing my completely (un)original Sailor Moon character. Lord knows whatever happened to that picture, but looking at what I've made since then, I've always, always wanted to be good enough to do justice for the shows and stories that I love.

I feel like I've reached that point now. It's not perfect, by any means. There are always parts that could be better and I'm still not nearly content with my coloring style, but I'm genuinely happy with this. I took the image that was in my mind and tried to put it on paper, and I feel like I succeeded.

It's not the characters I wanted to draw at that age, and it's certainly not in the style I would have wanted, but it's the sort of quality that I've always dreamed of achieving.

I can still do better. Everyone can still do better, and I hope that I will, but I'm pleased with what I've accomplished here.

:)

Sorry about the long self-appraisal. I drew this out because Motorcity is airing new episodes again and the first was a development one for Chuck. I'm still a geek for the Motorfalls crossover, and I think he and Mabel would get along (I've seen a couple of cute friendship pictures around of them already).

"See? You don't need some stupid bracelet to be cool!"
"Mabel..."


Motorcity belongs to Chris Prynoski. Gravity Falls belongs to Alex Hirsch.

I think this is now my favorite crossover friendship EVER. Mabel is the best confidence booster, always.
