8D Tee hee! Guess who's back?!

No not me (obviously, I procrastinate too much to be back 100% though there is a possibility that I will be more active! I wants to draw moar!), I actually meant this character xD; It's been a while since I've drawn Mareo, he hasn't gotten less girly though. Ahaha xD

Well I went back to slightly plotting Swirly Whirly High.

SEE THIS?! THIS IS PROOF!! O:!!! Slowly putting the webcomic site together... slowly :'D but surely.

I hope I can motivate myself to continue working on this project for now.

Anyway, I went back to the shoujo style approach I initially sought when I first started this project :3 I'm pretty satisfied, I think I can keep this style consistent. I think.

Outfit wise... I've drawn Mareo in bunny hoody frequently and I quite like the idea, it suits his personality; he is a very docile person. D: I want a bunny hoody. He's a white bunny cause his character colour is supposed to be "white", because he's a pure, innocent and naiive little boy. That and white has the ability to take on the appearance of other colours. STORY RELATED?! y/y?

I think the colour scheme worked out pretty well 8D;; I like the whole Blue, White, Orange combination and I really wanted to use it for him (which is probably a mistake since another character has a slightly similar colour scheme... *coughmycharactercough*) Originally his colour scheme was Red, White and Blue... but I like this one more (3;;. It's not a permanent colour scheme to say the least though; I have too much fun dressing Mareo up xD!

I hope the background colours compliment his colour theme though. I was worried since I do have a problem with just throwing down random background colours that don't necessarily work very well with the entirety of the pictures... =A=

And yeah, other than that, I abused this new Photoshop effect I FINALLY learned how to do. I've been trying to figure it out FOREVER. YAY! \o/ I'm so happy I learned how xD I hope I don't abuse it TOO much... e.e

And yes, I intended to burn your eyes {3<

Anyway, I go now. :3 To sleep and regain my sanity. Hurr hurr. *dead tired*

“West was then a small, slender, spectacled youth with delicate features, yellow hair, pale blue eyes, and a soft voice, and it was uncanny to hear him dwelling on the relative merits of Christ Church Cemetery and the Potter's field.”

xD Whoo! I'm glad to hear other people think so too! Means I did something right lol

Haha, the name actually partly comes from my Highschool's name (Sir Wilfrid Laurier). I took the initials for it (SWL), and tried to come up with something else that would have the same initials. But I couldn't think of anything for the L, not that it really mattered because no one really calls by its full name (they just say Sir Wil). xD; So it just became Swirly Whirly. 8D;; Yay unnecessary information!

But thank you! ^o^

Well I'm glad for the info though! It's always interesting to know where ideas came from!
