HYPOTHETICALWATCHER: "Of all the SMW characters to choose among, you chose Oogtar? This was your chance to draw a suggestive sketch of Princess Peach or (bless my *sole!) a Yoshi without shoes! ...or just Luigi. *shrug* Yet, you chose a character who isn't even in the game!"

I draw who, why, and when I want (as allowed by my autism). Thank you. :3

The Milan is a graphite pencil with transferable dye in the graphite.
Oogtar is a Mario character. ^^
