character designs and momlessness
meet magdelena.
(can we say worst anatomy ever!?)
her name isn't actually magdelena, that's just her code name until i come up with her real name. it was the song i was listening to when i finished the piece. she's a vampire pirate (yes, i was totally inspired by my blabbering last night). actually, in all technicality, she's a vampire zombie ghost pirate thing, but whatever.
she's not quite alive, but not quite dead. she does not age. she was formerly a pirate, captain of a ship i'm yet to name, but was stabbed in the back (quite literally in more than one way), and after the taste of her own medicine, she became a wandering ghost. she felt too incomplete to really die. she wanted to find her corpse, which had been thrown into and swept away by the ocean, and give it a proper burial of any sort, but after hundreds of years of searching, she realized she would never find it, and was basically pissed at herself for not getting revenge on the person who took her life before wasting the past ten squillion years (okay more like three, four hundred) before they bit the dust too.
eventually, after wandering aimlessly for a while, she found a peaceful town she enjoyed being in, and would spend her days wandering the streets, never stopping; always walking. nowhere in particular.. just walking. over time, people became more aware of her presence. she slowly grew a physical body, and basically "lived" again, though without the need to eat/sleep regularly. nonetheless she does both from time to time, if only to pass off as a regular human. as for the "modern" piercings and clothing -- in an attempt to forget her past, she's tried to force herself into society to distract herself.
there was some stuff i left out (she was a vampire to begin with -- the stake in the heart and garlic crap is fake, vampires can totally die from being stabbed in the back), but i think i got most of it down.
i want to colour a picture of her soon, but i don't have the real media to colour her the way i see her (super duper pale -- like as pale as me. haha.), and my tablet is dead (it's a pain in the butt to colour with the mouse). siiighh.
in a way she's a representation of myself, but that's kind of lame so i left those details out. though, she has the piercings i want. the ones in the picture are only half of what i want. and actuallly the bottom ones on her ear are on the wrong ear but whatever. i left out the bridge, and the nostrils, and umm. the left ear. ha. and three others, that actually aren't visible anyway.
-----------
well now that i've got that out of my system..
nothing to say. except i feel so relaxed. without mom around, things have been great. it's so peaceful here, just me and robin. we went grocery shopping, productively. i hope carol and mom don't get back until -late- sunday. it's so so nice here, and i don't feel as stressed as i usually am, so i'm actually doing stuff like putting my dishes in the dishwasher when i'm done instead of the sink, and i unloaded the dishwasher out of my own free will. and i drew and it came out (see above). and... i even finished a meal. usually i feel sick or get full quicker.
this is so awesome.
