The story

Valentina and Emilia were not your ordinary 7-year-old twins. They were quite different.

It wasn’t because they were conjoined, but rather because they thought everyone else should be.

Day 25 – Undead – #AprilArtChallenge

April 25, 2018May 23, 2018 | thewhimsicalworldofwritingandillustrating

Today’s challenge was a bit difficult. I knew I couldn’t create the onscreen video game, without creating the TV, which is meant to be part of another prompt. But it was also easy in that it would be a fast one, allowing me to add more details to the bedroom (formerly known as a living room).
