After repeatedly promising various members that I'd put up a sketch, I've scratched out something I wouldn't feel so embarrassed that I'd want to shoot myself if someone saw. So, here it is. And please-- be kind to the poor sad little thing.
As you'll be able to see by the attachment, this a sketch I did on a piece of scrap paper. As I was drawing it, I became more and more attached to it. Finally, I just decided to try and erase what I could from it and let it be what it was. This sketch is of Lily Potter and is the product of a Potter frenzy I've been experiencing as of late.

Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill.
Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.
Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.
But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality,

I like the pose, it's awesome.
