*If any of you know me, you know I do strange things when I’m bored. Well, I found myself bored in Art Appreciation (yeah, that’s a real class), so I literally just pulled up a character outline and started filling it in.
I had no prior intentions for it, nor was it based off of anyone or any character. It’s entirely random and pointless.
Enjoy.
