Hi folks!

It’s that time of the year again – the 2011 Twitter Secret Santa Art Trade!  I participated last year, I’m incredibly excited to be a part of it again this year. 

My refs are here, but here’s a bit of supplemental info on Shizu, for whoever happens to be drawing for me this year:

Shizu has had a bit of a rough life.  She lost both her parents at the battle of Mt. Hyjal, only to have her mother come back several years later as a death knight.  A deeply imbalanced, murderous death knight.  (She’s sane now, but that was a rough patch for both of them.)  Then she became a demon hunter.

But she’s coped pretty well.  She’s cheerful and friendly and bouncy, and she has this weird habit of greeting people by purring at them (she knows a *lot* of kitty druids).  She’s pretty much exactly as she appears on her ref pics, although she has some scarring on her torso from being swiped at with a runeblade.  Her Winterspring saber and cub, Sharmila and … miniMila? XD … are just as they appear too.  You don’t have to draw them though – they just happened to be in the pic and are there if you’re in the mood to draw kitties. 

Annnnnnd that’s it!  Happy #SSArtTrade2011, everyone!  <3
