Awwww, I have to admit, Linden looks adorable as the Snork Maiden!

Why, thank you kindly!wayfriend wrote:Wow. That's some bad badness rolling in folks. I'm making little puking sounds in my throat.
I have to look up more of these characters' English names. Snork Maiden...well, suppose it doesn't sound worse than Niiskuneiti. She still has her wheaten hair! I'm surprised to find out they're so recognizable outside the range of the northermost Europe. Especially Pippi. About whom, incidentally, you might be right. Perhaps she'll just crack the ice and punch the bugger in its hoarfrosted face.Linna Heartlistener wrote:Awwww, I have to admit, Linden looks adorable as the Snork Maiden!

Hmm...Mörkö would be The Groke.

Moomintrolls aren't nearly as well-known in the U.S. ...though they seem to have a huge following in Japan?
My husband's family is very widely-read... including in Children's Literature.
So they're able to let me know what's quality!
Ahh, the Groke...
And "Thingumy and Bob" are what we call the two little guys with the suitcase...
Wait... if I'm gonna continue this slightly-off-topic discussion, it'll probably be here:

Actually, I've created an entry.. it's on paper; I'm probably waiting for my hubby to help me scan it in a bit.
There was some stuff I didn't remember about this book, but ya know, that's how it goes... I didn't review it or anything.

Well, the King of the Monkeys was rather firm about the contest closing on June 31. On the other hand, there's a certain amount of wiggle room with regard to when exactly the 31st of June occurs. Should we wait?Linna Heartlistener wrote:Actually, I've created an entry.. it's on paper; I'm probably waiting for my hubby to help me scan it in a bit.

His Simian Highness' Chamberlain was notably ambiguous about just which June 31st was meant.

It is July, and I can't see any way out of such a bind; he made himself very clear; or at least somewhat clear to someone maybe.
I bow to his will.
I'm posting my thingy "just for fun" anyways.

My phone? that would take longer!*
Nahh, the next bottleneck was that I keep forgetting my passwords for things like photobucket accounts.
But in order to quickly cave in to peer pressure, I'm putting it here:
kevinswatch.ihugny.com/phpBB2/album_page.php?pic_id=2149
* I now own a cell phone but haven't quite taken it out of the package and charged it for the first time.

Naah, I just drew Cov too far away from Linden before I decided he should have a supportive hand resting on her shoulder.
And thank-you, I was pleased when I got the idea for the croyel.
If I played with the filters I have in the graphics program I have, maybe I would have made the croyel more "insubstantial-appearing."

Lord High Simian, with a tear in his eye upon seeing such bad art, declares that Linna has entered the contest. No other punishment can do justice to such a lack of taste, dearth of skill, and deficiency of perspective.
Can we vote now?
