Description There's something sweet and almost kind
But he was mean and he was coarse and unrefined
But now, he's dear and so unsure
I wonder why I didn't see it there before.

I'm really sorry about this, Seph. Squeenix kind of screwed you over when they added you to a Disney collab and delivered you into the hands of a fanboy who likes their 2D movies.

Given the turtleneck and all, I kind of figure this as an armor-less winter day in the life of a 2nd Class.

Damned if I know what sparked this mental image - I haven't watched Beauty and the Beast in any way, shape or form for months - but it wouldn't leave me alone all day. I wasn't in the mood to use my usual 9x12 sketch paper, it turned out my bristol pad is the same size, so I used the last sheet of 12x12 white scrapbook cardstock from a leftover pack my mom had given me some time ago. That shit is a-w-e-s-o-m-e to sketch and ink on. My polymer eraser took the graphite back off like it had never even been there, and not one crease! I need more.

Bristol board you say???
I have a pack of that left over from my graphic arts class. I'll have to try that. Is it smooth-press bristol board?
And what do you use to ink it in?

Let me see what the label says - Paperbilities Basic White Cardstock, 12"x11 3/4". Doesn't say if it's smooth-press, just that it's acid-free. Comes 35 sheets to a pack, I probably got it at Hobby Lobby or Michaels. As for inking, just Microns and a bit of a Faber-Castell PITT brush tip pen. Bristol would probably react much the same way, I just wanted a bigger piece of paper for some reason. Being plain and for scrapbooking, the cardstock would probably be much cheaper, especially for practice.

Bah! Also, when I saw this up in my "New deviations" area, the title made me think of people chanting, "one of us! One Of Us!! ONE OF US!!!"
