From Hero to There-o

  About four months before this blog started up, I had the idea to peer into the subconscious of our dear Creecher's in what I called the 'Dream Collection' , and I drew a draft of the work below, along with the piece featured in 'Second Post', and was fully ready to draw more. Unfortunately, the idea ended up put to the side when my location changed, and this drawing stayed untouched, until now.
  So, here it is, looking great, and you know.... I still don't know who's dreaming; Mark, or Alexa?

They call him 'Shorty'

Since these three all have one common factor, that being the lovable pre-teen known solely as Shorty, I figured it'd be okay to throw 'em in all at the same time.
You know what? This is a good time to officially introduce Shorty to you all. Shorty's family is the newest on the block, they're all welcomed with open arms; Gregory, Suzanne, and their two boys, Mark and Shorty.
Shorty is victim of a nick-name that fits him like an ugly glove whose interior is coated with superglue. (I stand by my metaphor.) That is to say, people know and grow familiar with his nickname long before they even know he has an actual name. Luckily, it doesn't bother him.... too much...
Tenea thinks the world of Shorty, from the first moment she sees him. Unfortunately, no one told Shorty. The poor fella most of the time is oblivious to, or scared of the possibility of a romantic relationship.

 I drew this next piece one day in French class when literally nothing was going on. You know, one of those days when the majority of the already minuscule class was on a field trip of some sort. To justify drawing it, I translated it, to the best of my 12th grade French ability. Either way, it's evident Shorty doesn't mind a few quiet hours with nature.

Of course, nature isn't the only place he can relax, though it's a rarity to catch him like this, he knows the only way to keep his grades up, is to stay well rested. 

Summer days!

Hot off the editing process, this beauty. The shading was a nightmare, especially that sunset, but it was so worth it! I first drew this in the last few months of school. Wishful thinking, I suppose. It took two tries drawing and editing to get it to it's current state of absolute perfection. Lots of work, but it's my creation, my baby. I couldn't give up on it.
I think my other favorite thing about this one is that adorable crab in the bottom left corner.

Story time, kids.

Here's another introduction to a lesser known. Because, why stop at one, am I right?
This is Rick, another Creecher who you saw the first time when the background was changed.  However, Rick has a bit more of a history to him, in more ways than one. He was first conceived long before the background was even an idea, as part of a Social studies project. Rick represented individualism, and demonstrated how it benefited the common good.
Rick is still just as cool as when he first escaped the tip of the pencil, being one of few who can overlook the impracticality of wearing sunglasses, but he doesn't let it go to his head. In fact, anyone'll tell you, he's anything but exclusive, and takes time to help out whenever he can.

All 'Creecher's' of our God and King....

(Re)Introducing Bethany, the one Creecher who didn't appear in a work previous to her conception in the background you're staring at. I figured she deserved an official introduction, because you guys have never seen her before.
Beth is the sweetest, the kindest, the most loving Creecher up to this point. She sees beauty and kindness in everything. This is probably why she's so easy to get along with. As you can see, not even natural enemies can be contentious around her sweet persona. She is truly a wonder.

Hold on, the light will come

I've always found comfort in the music from Micheal Mclean, ever since I was little. Recently, I've tried a couple times now to do something inspirational inspired from one of his songs which I grew up with, and I liked this drawing, So with a bit of work, it's finally good enough looking. So without further adieu, this drawing was inspired by this song, take a listen and see if I matched the mood.

Yeah, I changed the look of the blog. Nothing major, it's just a little more personalized, with a 'Brady-bunch'-esque drawing filling up the background, similar to this one:

All of the characters you see before you have made previous appearances in my drawings. Excluding one..... and a half. Not all have previously appeared on my Blog though, but this is to change that.
