Characters: Vegas & Ysabeau ( @dmndmyth​ ) Location: Ysabeau’s Studio Timestamp 002: Settle Down

Vegas scrunched her nose, paintbrush poised over the canvas as she tried to add the finishing touches to the piece. Something felt unfinished -- and not in the fun, whimsical way one might typically find in the blonde’s work. She had never been much of a fine artist, preferring to smear pops of color or wash faded watercolors over already sketched pieces. Light and value, perspective even, felt so much more complicated away from her graphics tablet and simplified style. It wasn’t that she had forgotten her basics, she was just out of practice... and it had been a few years since she had tried and picked up another medium that wasn’t somewhat limited by the world of crafting and DIY. 

That, and it was hard not to compare one’s self to others -- even if you were well aware that they had several centuries of practice more under their belt. She was actually quite excited about the progress she had made, but ever the perfectionist, Vegas couldn’t help but push herself. The vampyre chewed on her lower lip, tilting her head to make one more assessment before making a small huff of frustration. Finally, she turned to her mentor with a pout.
