No word back on the casino job, so I guess they aren't interested. I'm thinking maybe I'd be better off if I had some sort of marketable skill, but the only ones I think of that'd also be fun to learn are lock picking and bar tending. ...and bar tending doesn't sound like very much fun. ...and I might get arrested practicing lock picking.

Last week I bought some black and white pillow ticking and some yellow dye, so I'm on my way to the girl!six costume I've been working on off and on for a while now. The actual sewing machine's broken, but mom's promised she'll take it in to get fixed. I just don't know when she's going to get around to it.

Also, got a neat shirt!


Like I said before, I've been re-reading Good Omens, and I got around to drawing a Hugh Laurie inspired Crowley:
( Under the Cut )

I drew Aziraphale too, but he looked too much like Stephen Fry and I drew the eyes a bit too high, so you don't get to see that one.

For those of you who didn't catch this when I put it up on my twitter in the middle of the night:



I might x-post this a bit later.

I'm calling this "If you get this, you know way too much about Doctor Who"


No idea why it turned out slightly blurry. I think it was photobucket's doing.

I showed the line art to mertondingle earlier and we decided that there should be a new TV show on:

cosmic_celery: If there was a Fitz and Nine mopey drunk hour TV show, I'd watch it every damn week.
mertondingle: That would be the best television show ever.
mertondingle: People could call in with questions and their solutions would be "BAHH FUCK IT ALL."
cosmic_celery: LOL I love it. And then they'd hang up the phone and go make lists of all the things they're depressed about.
mertondingle: Like David Letterman's top ten things.
cosmic_celery: Except they can't decide which one is the worst.
mertondingle: So it's just "#1: Everything. :-("
cosmic_celery: DD:
cosmic_celery: Okay, now I'm imagining like...the Sonny and Cher show, except instead of breaking into song, Nine would rant for a while and Fitz would play a depressing song in the background.
mertondingle: Ahahahaha.

I found THESE the other day, and they gave me a terrib(ly wonderful) idea:



The orange scanned as red for some reason. Also, this is a look at how sketchily I actually draw before I clean things up.

As for the outfit, I think it could work. I'd definitely prefer to make a coat, but is seems next to impossible to put together, and Two Doctors Six is a nice alternative.

Random:
I found out that, according to Big Finish, I take my tea the same way that the Sixth Doctor does (milk, no sugar). I am amused by this.

( Comic and art under the cut... )

I cleaned my room! My goodness, it was getting so you could barely walk about in here, and forget about seeing the floor at all. But now it's clean! And I organized papers! Woo.

Also I added the art and comics I currently have on my computer to my DeviantArt page. So that's cleaned up too! I've got a bunch of stuff that hasn't been scanned in, but that'll have to wait.

So, I'm riding in on the tail-end of this five things meme. pimpmytardis gave me these things to elaborate on:

1) Six/Rani

( Cut because I rambled... )
2) Knitting and the Season 18 scarf in general

I've been working on my Season 18 scarf since around January, and so far I've gotten this much done:


This is my second project, and my last project was a scarf as well, so I still have a lot to learn about knitting. I'm thinking about knitting Romana's long, white scarf. That might be a fun project to practice stockinette with. Hopefully I can work my way up to sweaters and hats and things. Maybe I'll try socks soon! Goodness, isn't knitting exciting?

3) the Super Writing Challenge

Last year I forget National Poetry Month, which is April. A lot of people take the opportunity to write one poem a day for a month, which is a great writing challenge. But, since I forgot about it, during May I issued my own challenge. The challenge was to do one creative thing each day...a poem, a short story, or a comic.

Of course, in the end, I did a few things and then ended up making up the rest with haiku, but I still think it was a great idea. Maybe again this May?

5) socal_who

I created this with urchinmoppet on a whim, to see what chance there is of getting Whovians in Southern California together. I hope something comes of it, or at least it will be a convenient place to talk about the next Gallifrey One. I'm not sure how much use it will be to me personally since I'm a bit of a hermit, but maybe I can get over that if it means being able to ramble on about Doctor Who in public sometime. =) Flisters, if you're in Southern California, join up!

If you're observant, you'll notice that there's no number four. Number four was "Owen love" which I'll have to talk about later because I want to do him good, analytical justice.

The sketches I made in my notebook yesterday while procrastinating:

Steampunk!Rimmer resents being drawn in this pose.

You may ask, why is he wearing a monocle? The answer is: for no discernible reason! He doesn't need it. Perhaps it is a holo-accessory?

( one more )

I tried drawing a steampunky Lister, but I've been drawing tall lanky guys for far too long, and he kept ending up looking odd. Maybe I will try again later with more reference. =)

Sometimes my ego is like this:



And sometimes...

(Yes, my ego does wear yellow shorts and green combat boots.)

Went down to Balboa Park last week with my mom to the Timken Gallery. Basically, it's a smaller, privately funded museum, and it's free, but I don't think they've changed out a single painting since I first visited it. So, it's kind of nice and familiar. They've got paintings by some of the Dutch masters that I really enjoy looking at. One of them is this haughty looking young captain by Rubens...I really like it for some odd reason:



It's in situations like visiting a museum, that the difference between my Mom and I is more apparent than anywhere else. Looking at another painting:

Me: I really like the use of negative space...combined with his contained posture, it really makes him look small.
Mom: I like his flippy hair. And his sad eyes.
Me: ...Yeah. He looks sad.

Yes, I like talking about the more intellectual aspects of things. Damn, I just need to find someone other than my mom to bring it up with. Tonight I asked what moved her, as a person, and she started talking about orderliness. No mom, I didn't mean to ask what you appreciate.

ETA: Coincidence that this post comes right after the "Haughty Intellectual" result in the Personality Default Test? Probably.

This character's name is Carbunkle. He's from a story of mine called "Carbunkle, a Car Battery, and a Cake".  His super-power is telling useless but true facts.

Coloring is fun!

...in Photoshop!
Really, for a girl that's owned a Wacom tablet for years, I'm thoroughly surprised it's taken me this long.

Reaaally old line art.

Today, I was reminded that I hadn't drawn all of the Doctors, so I went ahead and tried!

Cut for bigness:

Whee!
