Nostalgia
by Jennifer
I was recently inspired by one of my favourite artists on tumblr to revamp one of my first original characters that I created when I was twelve. Boy, has it brought up some good memories! I'm feeling quite nostalgic right now painting her. It doesn't help that I'm reading Le Petit Prince either haha! And it's now time to indulge in some more memories by watching La Grande Séduction (remember this D?).
To my 12 year-old self:
- Woah, woah. You have some crazy taste in hair colour for your ocs girlfriend.
- Art is more than just drawing with a pencil. Try other mediums like painting and photography.
You'll probably end up liking them!
- Some will eventually tell you that drawing isn't worth it. Don't listen to them.
P.S. If any of you were interested in my oc, here's a small rundown:
Name: Mariko (guess who liked Japanese names?)
Age: 15
What You Need To Know: She's a sweet girl (daughter of a florist), who's always looking after her best friends. She can't stand it when people misidentify flowers - seriously, who CAN identify their flowers?

LOL yes I remember that. Rather entertaining movie whose title is totally misleading. I remember a bunch of people shuffling from the council room to another room to seem as though there were more people than there were actually.
ReplyDeleteYES YES one of many scenes that I liked! They were doing that since the head of the company was there and was skeptical of "the fact" that St. Marie de la Mauderne had 200+ residents (to get the factory). Any French things you'd like to see other than Le Petit Nicolas when we hang out?
Deletehahahah omg nostalgia is the best feeling evar
ReplyDeletemy 12 year old self's art was embarrassing but still, better than this crap i'm doing rn seriously... so rusty
are you gonna reuse this char? :3
LMAO I know what you mean about embarrassing 12 year old art. I've permanently locked those pieces of evidence away so no corneas will be burned. And true true, first year of uni has been a punch to the creative side. :(
DeleteI'd like to reuse her, but tbh, I only have the faintest clue of the plot (7 years since I last thought of it) and stuff atm. I think I'll focus on my more recent ocs since I can actually remember why they're there.
