For some reason back in high school I started saying 'Everything's Peaches' as a substitute for normal sounding things like "I'm Okay" or "It's All Good."
Probably because I'm a freaking weirdo anyway--

Thing is, I live in the peach state. I love painting/drawing peaches, and I think they are super cute and soft and fuzzy.
BUT I HATE THE WAY THEY TASTE.
And up until today, I had never found a peach candle that I liked. Juicy Peach can straight up suck it,
But even Peaches & Berries, Mango Peach Salsa, and Macintosh & Peach were too peachy for me.

Too..

Yankee Candle just released their new spring collection, which features: Red Raspberry, Wild Sea Grass, Blue Summer Sky, Picnic In The Park, and Peach Cobbler.
I gotta say, when I went to smell the new set I was like 'Yeah that peach one is going on the BOTTOM OF THE LIST.' But then I was wrong as hell and it was amazing. Favorite one out of the new collection, hands down. It's kind of cheating, because honestly it smells like vanilla bean and brown sugar more than fresh peaches- ButI'mHappyICanSayILikeAPeachCandleNow

And because I'm such a huge dingus who loves candles on a ridiculous level, just drawing the Peach Cobbler candle in here wasn't good enough. .___. I needed Juicy Peach in there too.

And a chalkboard..with uh, peachness on it. 'Cause chalkboards are my digs.


I know I said I wasn't going to upload anything between now and the data clear timeout being lifted- but I don't really see this as anything that great so it won't really matter if you guys happen to not see it.
It's better for your eyes that way! 8D


But if I do have your eyes right now lemme borrow them for another few paragraphs. I-I mean very short to-the-point sentences don't leave:

I wanted to give some artists credit for things they inspired in Seven's deign. 90% of Seven was inspired by non-people stuff like Jack Daniel's, Lionfish, Sunsets, Fall, Dragons, Red Pandas, African Wild Dogs, Okami, Violins, Fire, etc.

AND AT THE SAME TIME KINDA FAWN OVER THEM AND THANK THEM PROFUSELY. ;A;

Fayleh:
Originally Seven's feet kind of zizagged between being drawn plantigrade, and being drawn digitigrade. But neither of those ever felt right. But when I saw one of Fayleh's drawings in this style I fell in love with that simplistic straight-leg look. It's totally unrealistic, but so is a red panda/african wild dog/winged beast SO HEY.

O-Okay well, now that I'm looking through her gallery I'm only finding one similar example and even it looks like a simple digitigrade design D8 E-Either way okay Seven's legs aren't really like that completely but damn it I'm still going to thank Fayleh for the idea.


Sin.:

SINNABON, my grrl.
So obviously she comes up with the freaking best character designs ever and her style is unmistakably original- but one character design of hers is what gave me the idea to give Seven winter colors. Her red panda character, Converse, had both a summer scheme and a winter scheme- something I'd never even thought about adding to a character of mine. But it's so simple and beautiful, go figure she would have thought of it! <3

Well damn it, I thought there was more to that than I came up with.
Maybe I was just super excited and it seemed like a lot but really it was just my brain being hyped up.


Seven's pegleg style, 'normal' color scheme, & body/tail proportions


P.S. I have some sort-of-news that has nothing to do with art but guys I'm so excited something huge might be happening and I keep thinking I'm about to wake up and it was just a dream but if you don't mind my excited rambling you can look forward to a whole bunch of it 8D
