I'd like to submit a song. Not the best, but LJ friend's like it.
Rudolph the hillbilly farmer
Had a very itchy bale of hay.
And if you ever saw it,
You would jump in it and start to play.
All of the other farmers
Used to laugh and call him names.
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any corn-growing games.
Then one sunny harvest day,
His landlord came to say:
"Rudolph with your hay so itchy....
Get the heck out, we're tearing apart your land due to lack of profit."
Then all the farmers laughed some more
As they shouted out with glee:
"Rudolph the hillbilly farmer,
Your bales of hay are history!
Title of Your Work: Rudolph the Hillbilly Farmer
Media/Program/Type of Camera: ...My brain?
Time Taken (includes preparation): Hm... I'd say maybe an hour.

Title of Your Work: Modern Angelina
Media/Program/Type of Camera: #15 Bond Tuppence Sketch Paper and .05mm Mechanical Pencil
Time Taken (includes preparation): 1 Month. Reading Manga How To Book and about 30 different tries
Extra Comments: I actually drew this as a representation of an RP character I used to play. The character I played was pretty old fashioned, wearing big old dresses. I wanted to see what she would look like in modern clothing. It took me a long time since I've never actually drawn anime characters before. I wanted to make sure it was just perfect
