We now reach the end of 2019; leaving the month of November behind us:
I'm still happy with Sarah as Sonia. I thought about her counterpart Mai Ling and which girl from the new Sword and Shield she would be represent. It was down between Nessa and Bea. Nessa is a beauty; but Bea just seems to fit Mai. Perhaps I'll draw that someday: Mai as Bea. :3
Tess Mobrlung also fulfilled one of the earlier roles as Sniper Wolf from Metal Gear Solid.
That leaves the last of their counterparts; Mindy Gardoe the fiery redhead mouse girl. Her calm but sometimes fiery temper can fit many female throughout many video game series. For the final month of December I debated what game series would I top it off with? Some ideas were given like Tomb Raider and Monster Hunter. All good.
But recently I got into the Witcher series thanks to Witcher III.
So we bring 2019 to a close with Mindy Gardoe dressed as Triss Merigold from the Witcher series. This right here being her Witcher III outfit.
Triss is also a fiery but kind-hearted redhead. Like Mindy she likes to help others, particularly those who are being hunted. Mindy is a former thief; as well as a frequent supplier to ThiefNet. She also had a few run-ins with Sly Cooper. Sly charmed his way out of meeting her fiery anger. Yes Mindy can be calm and friendly...but make her too angry and you'll see a side to her you don't want to see.
Of course finding out Sly only charmed his way out to escape just makes her angrier.
Like in the Witcher series between Geralt and Triss, Sly and Mindy gotta understanding. While it is possible to get Geralt and Triss back together, Mindy knows Sly is Carmelita's. Sometimes though Mindy lets a deep resentment for Sly show, but she ultimately knows in the end if Sly will be punished Carmelita will do the punishing. So she just lets Carmelita handle him.
As it is, she's got more important things to worry about as the world around them crumbles and the line between law and law-breaker begins to blur.
Like Triss, Mindy has other business to take care of and doesn't have time for more whirlwind relationships. She's got people to help and protect. And she needs Sly and Carmelita to help her anyway she can when an emerging fanatical power begins seizing control of a powerful stone (The Megiddo Stone) to recreate the world under a new World Order. Like I said; the line between law and law breaker blurs greatly....and I've said too much.
I'm surprised this turned out better than I could've hoped for. Mindy actually looks pretty good in Triss Merigold's outfit. This could've failed on many levels but I'm ultimately glad it didn't.
The December calendar is chockful of holidays. Perhaps my most holiday-filled month yet. Christmas, Hannukah, Kwanaa, Boxing Day and even New Year's Eve are listed.
On December 27th before the year ends I will release a special pic. It will be a pic reflecting another decade of art gone by for me: from 2010-2019.
I can't believe it's been ten years since that happened. But I will definitely make a pic reflecting those ten years to see how far I've come.
Well with that we have covered twelve months featuring twelve of my girls and twelve video game franchises.
From Mai Ling to Mindy and from Street fighter to the Witcher. It's been an interesting experiment in combining two things I like doing: OC making and gaming.
This of course brings up an important question.
Will there be a 2020 calendar?
........Yeah no XD XD XD
This was just an experiment. I don't think I'd be willing to try it again for a while. I know for certain 2020 is going to be a very busy and eventful year for me.
You're gonna see a lot of changes happen to me as we enter a new decade.
Maybe I'll take another shot at a calendar in the near future. But until then 2019 was the only year I tried it out.
It's more work than it looks XD
