So I got a google nexus 7 tablet for Christmas and have been loving the crap out of it. Prior to this I've been using my tiny out-of-date 4th generation ipod for all my doodling. Needless to say that isn't exactly the best way to draw, what with the tiny screen and the frequent crashing. But now that I have a tablet (as well as a nifty touch screen pen I bought) I can get a bit more ambitious with my doodles... assuming the upcoming semester doesn't drive me into the ground...

This is a sketch that I made in the process of learning the new features of the app I used.

EDIT: Featured on EQD! I can die happy.

Doodle? This is...this is....this is my daily high Octave dose of Octavia in a glorious ART FORM! Her unique expression could only be matched by that cute little tuff of hair you've drawn ever so elegantly in your art style! - Clearly I haven't had my Octavia in a while

Is this a reference to "Perfect Blue"?

To be honest, I've never heard of that movie before now. But its funny how easily it could apply to this pic.

The true story behind the title is remarkably mundane. While I was still working on the pic I simply titled it 'Octavia' with the intention of coming up with something more creative later. At that time I used the same colors as the show. While doing editing I started looking at different filters and found one that I liked simply called 'blue'. So me, in my infinite wisdom, named the pic 'Octavia Blue'.

For some inexplicable reason the name grew on me and I decided to stick with it, something about it feeling kind of ominous. Though of course I've spoiled that now that I've told the truth xp
