Hawkhorse? Horseeye?

This is embarrassingly addicting, ya'll. I think Loki or Captain America may be next (with a request for the Hulk somewhere in there too XD)...

I've been discovering that this particular paper has a tooth to it that makes the colored bits look slightly speckled. This makes it a bit difficult to make the colors blend to a satisfactory point (I got a little lazy on the collar of the vest), so between layering dozens of colors (chestnut coat colors are kinda complex) and blending with the paper stumps this is the result of several hours. Sigh.

I have a slight complaint to make...I almost posted this on Facebook, but thought it might make some people feel guilty. Here, however, I can say what I like. XD

Every time I mention Colorado, people feel this uncontrollable desire to go 'bet you're going to find a husband out there, hur hur' *wink wink* *nudge nudge* I mean, it's nice to know what everyone is thinking...but after the twentieth time it gets a little old. O.e

And for the record, I really don't plan on 'finding a catch' while I'm out there. (I know what they say about 'best-laid plans', but hear me out.) I don't talk about this, generally speaking, because I've felt caution about spewing my thoughts on the subject...but there's a guy here in town that I've had my eye on for a while ('a while' meaning 'several years'), but I thought he didn't know I existed so I've never said anything to anybody. Long story short, he knows I exist (at least XD) but thinks he's too old. Whatever. Seeing as how I'm leaving for the next five months I can't exactly say anything at this point either. With that in mind, I don't plan on 'finding someone' while I'm gone, because if all hopes and dreams come to fruition, I won't have to look outside of my hometown anyway.

Hope is a dangerous thing, folks...that's all I gotta say about it. And that's not to say that all my 'hopes and dreams' will even come about, but dangit, it's nice to have a faint thread of hope sometimes.
