Hi!

Smigenboger: I am afraid I have to agree with Realmfighter there: Your spoilers are showing up empty for me.

Mmmhhhh, my drawings of her are all on an adult site, so I can't link there.

But maybe the original version of it might help you?

Or you may want to see my drawing style in action in general, which may give you a better feeling of where to place them:

Okay, so, today this girl I know-Lauren, just took a sudden dis-interest in talking to me. Is she just on her period or something?

My links worked for me, but if they don't work, they aren't really necessary.

Glancing through the albums, it must have been just that picture. The main one looked similar to the shape of a Siamese cat, with a pentagonal head shape, but it was just that picture, as all the other pics were the clearly rounded ones that type of style generally has. Maybe it was the point-of-view, I dunno. Amazing how one or two vectors could change the entire outlook of a drawing.

Hi!

Is she eating glass?

She is eating a rice ball. The background of the image is that Tama and Miki quarreled, resulting in Miki getting grounded. As luck would have it, that means she would miss going to the hana-mi (cherry blossom festival; people sitting in the parks being noisy and getting drunk). Thus, she secretly uses a spell from their spell book (there is a magical genesis behind them) to shrink herself and hide in Tama's lunch box. However, her plan fails in as much that she accidentally gets eaten by Tama without her ever noticing it. (In the end, she does come out unharmed, though). The image shows just when things go wrong.

Realmfighter: I hope that explanation helps cure your non existing nightmare :) :)

Yes, a single pixel can actually change a mouth's expression, I have learned. I am still not sure about the pentagonal head thing. Maybe the rice ball in front of the face together with the otherwise darker surroundings (hair, furry paw) add to that impression.

THAT DOES NOTHING TO HELP THE EYES.

LOOK AT THEM.

So I was looking up the quarter pounder on Wikipedia to see if they really call it a Royale with Cheese in France, and I noticed something that confirms that one article's mention of Japan being really weird about business.

Instead of adding the quarter pounder to their menu, Japan opened several franchises that sold nothing but quarter pounders.

Hi!

That would explain why I never saw anything like that when I was there.
But then again, I definitely hadn't gone to Japan to eat a quarter pounder (^_^;;
