Here is some fan art of Codex, Cyd Sherman/Felicia Day's online gaming persona, from one of my favorite web series, The Guild! Click here to visit The Guild's website. I've been a fan of the series for a while now, and even have Seasons 1-3 on dvd! I also have some of the comics, and they are a great part of the collection. I can't wait to see where this series is going!

2009-05-04T17:28:00.005-04:00

I haven't really been on here in over 7 months. That's pretty bad.
With all the school drama [like commuting every week from North Carolina to Atlanta] and trying to get a job and other things, I actually managed to graduate!

True, the first few months were a bit scary, but that is totally understandable. Since then I have been working on a ton of new pieces and I am so thankful for all the oppurtunities! When I can, I will post more on those.

For now, here are some pieces I did a while back.
Morrigan from Dark Stalkers and Liranda, my character from World of Warcraft.

EXPECTO PATRONUM

2007-07-14T18:28:00.000-04:00

WUT

Alrighty, so here it is!

So, with the 5th Harry Potter movie out, and the 7th {and last;_;] book coming out, I wanted to do a fan art of me as a student at Hogwarts!
But something happened, it doesn't look like me at all, oh wells!

So let's pretend...
This is Shannie, probably a 7th year at Hogwarts. She's in Hufflepuff, [I took a quiz *v* I'm special] which means that I am "Loyal Dependable Hardworking". My Patronus, or Shield, is a Wolf, [wolves are linked to wisdom, learning, and the teacher, and often symbolize loyalty, success, perserverence, stability, thought, intuition, and the shadow] and my Animagus is a Panda [animagi reflects one's character].
My favorite and best class would be Charms, which are a type of magic spells that enchant an object to behave unnaturally and are opposite to Curses.

What is a kneazle you ask? It's an intelligent cat-like animal that can detect unsavory/suspicious characters.
