Elsinore

There are hot, lazy days when the lure of a cool, rippling stream is hard to resist so we do not blame Elsinore for donning her fishing togs. And don't you think she makes an awfully cute fisherman: or is it fisherwoman?

Part 2 of Drawtober Emily

Drawtober Emily Andreson

 My silly OC ("original" character) 

Name: Emily aka Emily Anderson 

  Age: Looks young around 13 in this art, Ages different then humans due to her nature she gets 'stuck' looking younger then she is. 

Story (rough): A hybrid experimental amalgamate genetic splice DNA (silly science) of Alucard and Father Alexander Anderson (from Hellsing series) essential their biological equivalent of a daughter. (or sometimes I just Andercard ship and nonsense) She was created by the Millennium organization  as an experiment the only embryo to survive.Very long black hair red eyes. She is Short. (5 foot in 3 inch heels) Can summon holy blades and set up magic barriers. She does needs blood but can eat red meat.  Her hair constantly grows long to her feet each night and cuts it in the morning. (semi sentient hair?) She usually wears plain simple dress in white or black.

I am attempting to draw costumes for her every day in October (and maybe color but my Photoshop keeps crashing so... ?) She is sensitive (picky) about textures and tends to wear loose fitting over sized clothing in a triangle Aline shape shape and prefers layers and colors of black, white, off whites, cream, grey, soft blue, and a splash of red and soft fabrics, tends to be mostly modest with knee length or longer skirts and prefers skirts and dresses to pants. Wears clunky three inch "Frankenstein" type platforms to give herself some much needed height.

For my blog fans who aren't familair with Hellsing (which I must recommend the manga) Emily's dads  Alucard and Alexander Andersonbelow
