Sweet, nice face shape :-) She looks so young - how old is Kyra?
Sunshine, at this time in the story Kyra is in her late twenties.
Btw, the sketch is perhaps not clear but Kyra is wearing her hair in a ponytail. Her long flowing locks falling down over her shoulder to the right of the pic. If you look closely on top, you will see a cloth wrapped at the base of the ponytail.
74 reasons (thus far) that remind why we like Kyra so :-) The very vast majority of those are ingrained in my memory already, indicative of how well you write, memorable through interest.
Noticed the ponytail, part of what made her look so young, I guess. :-)
Interesting take on the ponytail. I tend to see Kyra in her formal evening robe or gown, made of a silk-like material and her ponytail gives her a mystical eastern look as opposed to a youngish look. Perhaps when my skill at drawing or painting grows I can better illustrate what is in my mind's eye. :-)
If I've missed some detail about Kyra, perhaps something mentioned in the audio, please share it here so I can add it to our list.
Likewise, if you have a particular view of Kyra that is not quite represented in the list, please also share. Thanks.
LOL, it is so hard to read y'all's comments and not think that you might be talking about moi.
Cute post :)
Hey bbb! Did you miss me? Just dye your hair black and I'm on my way over. :-D
Hey there sweetness :0) excellent, lovin the sketch and the list, just great!
Thanks Tube. Sorry to hear you guys are getting rain and have lost power. Of course, candles can always be fun and you always have the iPod as a last resort. :-D
LOL too bad I'm with my mom or I could think of all sorts of fun ways to pass the time in the dark :0D
as it is, we are listening to my itunes and trying not to go crazy or bump into each other, and the battery power on the computer is about out, bummer LOL
beautiful drawing...
Kyra is addictive :)
Keshi.
How does mom get to go on all these trips? Doesn't she have a job or somethin. That little red-hatted . . .:-D
Just remember you could be here where we might get snow tonight. Unheard of at this time of the year in Tennessee.
Keshi, Kyra is very addictive. Four months later and I still can't get her out of my mind. :-)
Evening sweetums :-D Hope you had that desired ton of fun today making for happy dreaming when you get that far.
It was a good day until a couple hours ago when LSU beat Duke. At that point it became a great day. :-D
Morning Sunshine. :-)
That's what I said. :-D
Such a sweet drawing!
The list almost looks like a meme ;). Sorry... couldn't resist!
morning sweetie, happy friday
How does mom get to go on all these trips? Doesn't she have a job or somethin
she pays for everything, a deal I can't pass up :0D
So Tube has a sugar Mama. I might need to get me one of those. :-D
When do you guys come back?
Thanks Chicky. I did a slightly different version on Trebuchet (my site where I put up alt images and no words).
Oh my, a meme. That sends shivers down my spine--lol. Hope you have a great weekend sweetie. :-)
:0)
back tomorrow nite, hate to leave the ocean but will be glad to get back :0)
I know the feeling. Always dread the last day. Once I know I'm leaving all I want to do is leave. Almost like closing the chapter of a book, knowing there is no more to be read or written here so it's time to move on.
Travel safe sweetie. Oh, and don't forget to pack the red hat. Not sure I could forgive you if you left that behind. :-D
i think i'd look good w/ black hair...maybe :)
miss you? heck yes i did.
how's bbb?
Bbb is doing just fine. I could use a little spring weather though. :-)
Let me know when you color your hair. :-)
Hope you have a twinkly Friday eve, x
Same to you Sunshine. I think I'm losing my mind. I was in the bookstore (that would be bookshop to you) this afternoon and I almost bought a knitting magazine because the model on the front cover looked like one of my characters. I seriously almost bought the thing just for that one picture. I've scheduled an appointment for myself on Monday. LMAO.
Aggie, I might need some of your pills. Don't forsake me now woman! :-D
Step away from the knitting section and take long, deep breaths!
rofl
I found the cover on their website. The image is much smaller than I would like but I blew it up and have the general outlines. The crew of Bravo-Four-Zero is rather good looking. Not an ugly one in the bunch. :-D
And those females--all of them--Kyra, Emy, Yul. Just wow is all I can say. :-D
By the way, Mel was Yul. Not sure where or how that happened but it's corrected now.
Kyra's cute and its now offical - I know more about her fictional self than I do about most of the people I know in real life.
Jack, I'm LMAO because your statement is so true, painfully so, but true nonetheless. Sometimes I feel I know Kyra better than the teenagers that live in my house. At least I think they live here--don't see much of them, those nocturnal creatures of coolness and infinite wisdom. :-)
