New Contest! :DOk so I know that I shortened my last contest (which you still have two days left to send your entries, so send them in if you haven't already! Go here for the list of quotes if you've forgotten some of them: http://animewiccan725.deviantart.com/#/d5sf4ac ) but this one is a little more traditional in theme.
For those of you who have read my True Blood fanfic Beyond the Shift you've been introduced to Elsira. For those that haven't, here's a little bit of info about her: http://animewiccan725.deviantart.com/journal/OC-Development-Quiz-Elsira-340146883 . The problem is, I'm being lazy and don't really feel like drawing up what she looks like (that and I can't really decide what she looks like). So here's the contest: draw what you think Elsira looks like. The only thing I know for certain about her is that she has short, blonde hair and blue eyes. There will be two parts to this one and I'll explain them as I go.
