girlyswotI was inspired by this picture that gabrielladusult found and, since I wanted to take on the challenge of drawing people (which is my least favourite thing), it seemed a good thing to try and capture the spirit of the firemuses. These are NOT intended to be recognisable portraits - though I know which one I want to be! Any resemblance to actual people is purely luck not skill!! But I did want us to look like we were having fun together and being a support to each other. And, of course, we're wearing our little black robes.
So here's my picture. Pencil sketch, coloured in photoshop.

And since I could never carry off a strapless gown, I'm going to hope the second from the left is Gabby. Plus I recently straightened my hair with that Japanese system, so I have really straight hair! I think I have the darkest hair of the group in real life, so I'm going to go with the far right, though my hair is not that layered. She has a good flangsty expression on her face, though, so it's probably me! :D You're holding Mary's hand? Or she's leading you to go see Charlie? I think Charlie would find your plunging neckline very sexy, if you're the middle one.
Lovely, Ros!

I can see it now....
Hez wandered down the beach with her friends. Their time in this place was limited, but it had never seemed to matter. Not to them. When they were together, in this spot, time stood still. Their lives left behind were nothing more than a fleeting thought akin to a shooting star dancing across the sky enjoying the ability in being able to shine so bright even for a time that was so short. Yes, they had loved ones. Yes, they were loved. In another time, in another place they were wives, and girlfriends, and mothers, and sisters and daughters...but here, ah here, they were writers. And to them it was like air.
*sigh*
I rilly miss writing. Thanks for making me inspired...even for a just a moment or two.
*HUGS*

:D
but yeah, that's how I picture all of us, too. Gorgeous on the inside AND out. ;)

Date: 2007-10-16 10:16 am (UTC)I'm glad to know moonette's hair is still straight. I wondered about that.
I've been thinking about you this week. You'll see why soon. *thud of an anvil*
