Whoa. This looks beautiful, Lynnie! :frankiesmile:

Wow, it's been almost a year again since my last post here.

Well, in response to this post in the Frankie Appreciation thread, I finally finished the fan art I thought up. Ugh, I drew this like three times, and tried coloring it in two different ways. I miss my pencils. :P I like them so much better than markers. And filling scanned drawings in with MS Paint doesn't seem to work like I hoped because each pixel seemed to be a slightly different shade of white. ::) So this is colored by both markers and Paint. If it looks weird, that's why.

Anyway, Frankie is dressed to do some square dancing. I like nautical themed outfits, so I drew hers in a Sailor Suit style. Blooregard wants to learn the dance too, so he stuffed himself into a cowboy boot and is trying to fix his Western Slip Tie. Frankie knows he's probably going to strangle himself with it, so she's reaching out to help him before he does.

(I originally drew some shading under her skirt and on the floor but the scanner didn't pick the shading up, argh! But I don't want to scan it in a fourth time so this will have to do. I'm afraid I'm a little rusty when it comes to drawing.)

Anyway, hope you enjoyed. :frankiesmile:

I enjoyed it quite a bit; she looks wonderful. Nicely done! :frankiesmile:

Thank you Cass. :frankiesmile: I admit I'm a bit disappointed in the end result, but I'm glad you like it.

You can always make more until you're happy with the result. :frankiesmile:

Obviously this works to my advantage as well... 8D

That looks perfectly fine to my eyes, Lynnie. :) And yeah, I know your pain as far as scanners are concerned. They never do what you want them to. Whenever I tried scanning anything I'd coloured red, it always came as some weird shade of bruise-purple. :P

Thanks you guys. :)

I was just losing patience. I do so much better with my colored pencils. But they're at my apt and I'm at my parents' right now while they're in Europe. If I can think of anything fun, I'll try to draw something else before my vacation ends. I'll try to remember to pick up my pencils the next time I drop by my apt to pick up my mail and check my messages.

I also like my scanner better than theirs. :P Mine picks up more details. I'm glad to hear you like it despite the outcome. :frankiesmile:

Ooh, looks nice! :frankiesmile: :bloogrin:
