Description I'll try to keep these short, as I know no one will read it anyway :/

This is an "intro" to my historic fiction (emphasis on fiction) series of pieces titled:
The Less Authentic Life of Billy the Kid; aka Screw You Pat Garrett I Like Unicorns
It'll take place before the Lincoln County War (look it up), during the time when the kids were hired by John Tunstall to protect his property from the Murphy-Dolan faction.

Adeline "Addie" Eldridge.
Born April 13th 1860
A runaway from Tombstone, Arizona Territory.
Behaves very boyishly (said with a British accent.)
Works at a flower shop and at John Tunstall's ranch.
Enjoys singing, magic, friendship, Jesus, horse riding, sharpshooting, dress making, unicorns, and glitter.

Born November 28th 1859.
Rumored to have been born in New York.

Orphaned, horsethief, outlaw.
Denies liking unicorns and glitter. Adeline denies this denial.

Thunderbolt aka Thunder aka Bolt.
Born ? Possibly between June 11 and June 20 1862
From a far off land where enchantment abounds and talking animals are plenty.
Wandered away, captured by people, lost ability to speak, almost lost intelligence, found Addie, regained will and strength, acquired lifelong friendship with Addie, never regained speech.
Sometimes pretends to be a unicorn.
Likes apples, carrots, Adeline, celery stalks, unicorns, and glitter.

Born February 19, 1850
From St. Albans, Vermont

"Here's the story,
Of a lovely.........."
>SLUUUURP! SMACK!<
"YUCK!!! Seriously! Do we have to have the horse in the opening credits????"

Heheheh. Sorry I can not help it. As soon as I saw this it screamed the Brady Bunch Theme. Then I saw the horse.

Wonderful piece.

I do snail mail commissions, though they're not very popular, so I don't have a journal or anything about them

What is a ' snail mail commission " ? also do you do contests?

solstjarn In reply to StoryTimez [2012-01-24 04:47:30 +0000 UTC]

Snail mail commissions are when you send the check/money by mail, rather than via PayPal or something.
And I've never done a contest before... o:

alright sounds good! do you have any idea what you might draw? I would love a picture of Whisper ( my horse OC with one of your characters riding their horse passed the fence where whisper was grazing maybe with Penelope poking her head over the fence( Penelope is Whisper's her foal... maybe not that that might be too much ) But either way I really look forward to your entry! I'm so exited

I love how Bolt is coming out of his frame and into Billy the Kid's. I love all their expressions, and the idea of the frames, and everything. Very cute characters, and a very neat idea.
