Nancy Drew Wallpaper!


Here is the second poster! I'm sure you'll enjoy this one as much as--if not more than--the previous wallpaper if you liked the previous one. In this wallpaper, I included Nancy--just the good ol' Nancy Drew--staring back sadly at the exploding car which Joe had gone to fetch his camera before it exploded. Be sure to read my story Broken Promises (updated every Friday night) in order to enjoy the picture fully.

And sorry about the car. I guess I'm not very good at drawing cars or machines :-P

To see the full 800 by 600 pixel image, click on the image itself. Enjoy! And please don't forget to write a comment about this picture and/or my story at fanfiction.net! Thanks in advance!

A Little Present to My Loyal Readers!

I not only love writing stories but also drawing pictures that act as the story's internal illustrations or the story's title page picture! I've decided to share my illustrations with my readers to show how grateful I am to have so many readers who have supported me all the way from Missing in Action to Broken Promises!

Here is the picture. The brunette is Iola, the blonde is Diana, and the guy in between them is--Joe, of course! The background is a photograph of Paris that I took from the Internet (I'm not sure if this will violate the copyright act or whatchamacallit, but I guess it's okay as long as I don't sell it, since drawing a picture using someone's photograph and displaying on a blog is just like writing a fanfic and displaying it online.). I hope you like it. You can also set it as your wallpaper, if you're interested. I'll be drawing more when I have time, so be sure to check back often!


To view the full image, click on the image. It will redirect you to another site which has the full-size version of the picture. Enjoy!
Because I've never taken a drawing class (only one painting class), I don't have much confidence in my drawing. I know it looks cartoony, but I like this more than the Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys comics that are published, since I think the comics are not really close to the originals. Anyway, please tell me what you think of this picture in your review for Broken Promises or in the comment that you can add to this blog. I appreciate it! :-)
