I was a really big fan of Sailor Moon O: Orion’s Story, a really awesome Sailor Moon fanfiction from back in the day.  This is am illustrated moment from the story, which had something like 40 chapters planned (to fit into a typical TV season of Sailor Moon) and actually got to around the 30-35 chapter mark before the author got a life and lost interest in it.

She’s now a published romance novel writer under the pen name Merry Shannon, so hooray for her. :)  We’re still friends on Facebook after all these years.

It’s ocurred to me recently that my collection of past sketchbooks is starting to get pretty old.  I’ve used the same type of sketchbook for just over ten years now; about 8.5 x 11 inches, hardcover, perfect bound.  The first one I ever got was a Christmas present from my sister, and came from Barnes & Noble, no doubt.  I covered it in anime pictures I’d printed out from the internet, and named it Belldandy.

Anyways, I used it a little when I first got it, but I didn’t really start making a conscious effort to carry it around with me regularly until about halfway through my freshman year of high school, which would be late 2000/early 2001.

So the first quarter of the sketchbook now contains drawings that are ten or more years old.

Let’s do this.

Today’s picture is of Mellie, a character from Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse.  Mellie was played by Miracle Laurie, who as you can see, has a most adorable smile. ^_^

This is the outfit she was wearing during her first appearance, in the second episode of season 1.  After freeze-framing it about a million times, I think I got it just right. :D
