Description
This is Tohya Miho from Fred Gallagher's Megatokyo, a drawing I did for Ashes-of-Dreams ^^
I've loved Miho from comic 180, where we first see her in her stripey tights ^^ But it wasn't until later comics (690's, here she talks to Largo in the Cave of Evil) that she really became my undisputed favourite.
I just get her... I know we're not supposed to, but I do
Early sketches for this made me think back to January '05, where I did pretty much what Miho is doing here; I had long hair at the time, and I cut it all very short. It had to be short at the back, because I couldn't see it to know if I was doing it right, so take it all off, and then it must be right ^^ It is hard to know why I did it. I suppose I wanted to be rid of myself, and what had happened to me.
I remember that I did it with hardly any emotion at all... Perhaps a little sad, because I liked my hair, lol. But for the most part, it was a cold, methodical process. I started off just cutting a little bit off, because I knew I wouldn't get it straight immediately, and wanted to leave myself a lot of room to tidy it up... I imagined Miho being the same. At this point, she's done her crying and she's done being emotional... Now she just wants it gone, and she's going about it in a calm, detached way... And that's the moment I was trying to convey here.
Done in pencil.

wow, your story reminds me of me when i was 13, I cut my hair because i didn't like myself, I was also in a dark depression and at breaking point where I too just wanted it gone like miho.
