I'm so bad at these things.
I'm 19, I like snowboarding, drawrrring, hockey and playing music (poorly). I watch the Lion King a lot and I don't eat enough vegetables. I'm in art school aaaaaaand I've got a really cool ass dog. My name is Roxie. I'm an aspiring comic artist. Let's be palls.
#3 – Collision
Ugh barely made it. Today gets sketchy style because I was busy as crap. (6 hours of school+sculpture project due+5 hours of work)
Oh and our hot water heater is busted so that’s just peachy.
Anyway, I caused a car wreck today and I’m still feeling really guilty about it even though it technically wasn’t my fault. So I just drew without thinking. Her name is Collision. I assume she must be one of Death’s sisters? With those arms yeah.
#2 – Klaus
Character #2: Klaus!
Age: 25
I was going to give Klaus a cute short story like I did with Bell, but I have a ballsasslot (haha wut) of homework tonight, so just go introduce yourself to your snowboarder neighbor, chances are that they’re a lot alike. I gave him the black eye before I realized I wouldn’t have time to write him a story, I believe in your imagination though, I’m sure you can come up with something!
It’s been snowing a lot lately here in Fort Collins. I love Foco, but It’s my dream to live in a small mountain town in Colorado, preferably Breckenridge. Snowstorms are a double edged sword for me this year; I absolutely love them, and they make me happier than any other kind of weather, but it reminds me that for the first time in years I’m not going to be snowboarding at all this winter, due to lack of funds, time, etc. *cue tiny violin* And so, with a heavy heart, she drew a beautiful snowboarder boy, based on her plethora of shredder friends that probably don’t realize his name is pronounced Kl-oww-s, not Clause.
(Oh yeah, I did this today during class and work, all in shitty pen <3 and without any references. Freehand, bitches. And then my scanner barfed all over the left side of it, thanks pall)
#1 – Bluebell
Character #1: Bluebell!!
Age: 10 years
“Hey BluuueBARF!†Bell winced and sped up to a trot. Every day this week, the twin brothers that lived down the street had followed her to her lair, shouting insults all the way up the rocky path. She clenched her slingshot a bit tighter and chanced a glance over her shoulder. With grim satisfaction she noticed that they kept their distance.
Scared-y cats! She thought. She’d gotten frustrated the day before and shown off her sharpshooter skills. Apparently marbles hurt more than they let on.
“HEY BARFY!!! Where you going!?†Thing One shouted.
“Going to play by yourself again, Miss Crazypants?†Thing Two chimed in. Bell swung around with a marble already in place, but before she could loose, a titanic roar rent the air. Without hesitation, she faced the monster, blocking its path to the tasty twins. Today, she faced a 20-foot Cyclops, its bulbous eye rolling madly in its socket.
“Not so fast, ugly!†She screamed and sprinted towards it, peppering its lumpy face with marbles. She heard peals of laughter behind her but ignored the boys. One day they’ll thank me. She dove behind a boulder and loosed a few more well-placed shots. The monster groaned and stumbled towards her. She dashed from behind the rock at the last possible moment; in a stroke of good luck, it stubbed its toe on the bounder and crashed to the ground.
“Watch out! It can still bite!†Bell yelled to the boys, who had succumbed to their fit of laughter and were sitting in the dirt, their eyes streaming. As Bell lurched in front of the Cyclops, she felt tiny snakes unraveling themselves from her hair. Its gigantic eye swiveled up to meet her triumphant brown gaze, and in an instant, the ferocious creature turned to stone. She waited for her serpents to recoil before turning to the twins, a grin plastered on her small face. It faltered when she realized that they were still laughing.
“Don’t…worry. Um, you’re safe from the Cyclops.†Her assurance was met with whoops of mirth. The twins could barely breath, they were laughing so hard. “You’re welcome.†She grumbled and slouched off, their gasping words of crazy and nutcase ringing in her ears.
I based Bell off of me as a kid, with just a tad bit more crazy mixed in. She looks nothing like I did, but I used to go play on the mountain thing by my house for HOURS by myself, just imagining entire universes around me. I’m sure plenty of people thought I was just as nuts as she is. I mostly played Sailor Moon and Wolves though.
Damn, I just barely made it today. It’s 11:55PM Mountain Time. Considering I had school and work though, I’m not too bummed. ONWARD

2011 Challenger: R. ZAGAR
Yup.
Helloooooo! I’m Roxie.
Using this site makes me realize how internet stupid I am. Oh well, here goes: I’m a 19-year-old aspiring comic lady. I’m in art school at the moment, and I figure this challenge is a great way to make myself actually meet a deadline. I’ve been writing stories and drawing characters for ages, but sadly, none of them are one the web quite yet. Feel free to check out my tumblr though, I post a bunch of fun junk.

So, let’s form an alliance?
