Dream kiss
But first! Thank you to everyone for all the wonderful birthday greetings. I had a really great day, the sun was shining and we had icecream in the garden. :D

I was so incredibly lucky to get a birthday story from the incomparable [info]ladybracknell featuring Sirus, the other Marauders, Rosmerta and motorcycles. It doesn't get much better than that! It's called Velocity Girl, and you can find it here. I encourage you all to go read it, it's perfectly wonderful and awkward. Just like Sirius. :D

And reading this story reminded me how long it has been since I devoted any spotlight to Sirius. A situation to be immediately remedied! Luckily the very same [info]ladybracknell left me some great prompts in the drawble meme, ages ago: Sirius/Lily and snow.

Title: Frozen
Media: Pencil and watercolours
Warning: None!
Artist's notes: Loads of experimentation. I had fun, and I hope you enjoy.
Drawing time: 5 hours

It's so long ago, that back then the prompt snow was still very in season.... )

B2MeM ink drawings. Prompt 15 and 17

  • Mar. 22nd, 2009 at 5:26 PM
But then I got high
I have tired of only doing quick sketches, so I decided to do fewer and spend longer on them. I hope it shows, lol! There is a warning for see-through clothes and a heretic representation of a Maia for prompt 17. ;)

Promt 15, Dare I disturb the universe )

Prompt 17, Break a stereotype )

B2MeM sketch dump! Days 10,11,12 and 14

Another four sketches for the B2MeM! :D As you can see I'm not completely caught up, but I only had today to draw in, so I'm pleased that I made four.

B2MeM sketch dump! Days 1-9

Death Bacholo
March is Back 2 Middle-earth Month and the [info]silwritersguild is providing anyone willing with a prompt a day to inspire the Tolkien muses out of the woodwork. :D I have decided to use it as an opportunity to do a study of Mablung of Doriath, about whom "canon" has preciously little to say, so my imagination can run free for most of the time. And also, he met or could conceivably have met nearly every important character in Middle Earth until the fall of Doriath. So there are plenty of opportunities to widen the horizon. With so many prompts and so little time to complete them in, I can only offer you sketches, I'm afraid. But I think some of these are ideas are pretty cool, so I may convert them into proper drawings/paintings when time allows.

B2MeM prompts 1-9 )
Dream kiss
Title: (Argh, I can't think of any!! Will accept suggestions)
Media: Mechanical pencil
Warning: none
Prompts:Dream and Delirium and the prompt of "comfort."
Artist's notes: I was so happy to get prompts for Neil Gaiman's Sandman, and especially for my two favourite characters!! :D I hope you like your drawble [info]bratanimus!
Drawing time: 2 hours (plus lots of uncounted time spent sketching ideas and getting a hang of Dream's hair! O.o!)

Delirium's brother was not very comfortable with the notion of comfort )

Drawble meme #1 of 7: Beleg for Binka

  • Jan. 12th, 2009 at 10:35 PM
Death Bacholo
In the drawble meme, [info]binkaslibrary asked for Beleg and left me free to choose the setting.

Title: Beleg and the bear
Media: Mechanical pencil
Warning: Nudity (nothing frontal), and hunting. (who is hunted and who is hunter is, perhaps, questionable in this very moment)
Artist's notes: We all agree that the elves who woke at Cuivienen didn't wear clothes right? Right? ;) Anyway. Legend has it that Beleg's legendary bow was strung with bear sinew. Here is the scene that went before.
Drawing time: 2 hours

Paintings and busy weekend

In a few hours I'm leaving for a friend's birthday and immediately after that I'll go to my parent's because tomorrow my mother is having her birthday! It should all be good fun. We'll making honey-cake houses tomorrow... No we never grow up. ;)

Anyway, my mother asked me to do some small drawings/paintings for her birthday and I was happy to comply. And they turned out rather well, so I though I would share:





They are small: 10x15 cm, and done with sepia ink and watercolours. They were good fun to do once I finally figured out what I wanted to paint. Plus they were an excuse to go out and buy more paint... *headdesk*

And I have one final piece to show you. This was a birthday gift to my good friend [info]bratanimus, who had her birthday last month. I couldn't show it here because the original was on its way to her, and I didn't want to spoil the surprise. ;) But now that I know it has safely arrived I would like to share it with you all. This is Morpheus, Daniel and Matthew from Neil Gaiman's Sandman series:



This is done in ink (lots and lots of ink!), pencil and watercolour. It is A3 size (30x40 cm) in RL.

Thanks for looking, I hope you all have a nice weekend!

Drawing meme #7.. well sort of.

  • Nov. 16th, 2008 at 2:25 PM
Gasp!
Way back when I announced this meme, I promised [info]shimotsuki a drawble.. I have been terribly lax about getting it done, and I'm really sorry about that! And I wish I could say I had done it now, but alas. However, I come bearing a different gift, because as I sat down yesterday to start the drawble she asked for, I suddenly remembered a scene from one of her fics that I have always wanted to do, and then the muse carried me away.

Watercolour experiment

  • Nov. 1st, 2008 at 3:26 PM
Celegorm
I saw a fun demo the other day for doing negative painting with watercolours (negative as in painting around what is actually the main focus of interest, thus bringing it forward) - the demo was done with geometric figures, but I thought it would be fun to do with people, or more precisely, leaping men! At the very least partly inspired by a desire to do a drawing/painting of the dance of the deer as used by [info]heartofoshun in one of her stories at one point, I did this:



It is not quite where I would like it to be - I want darker colours (but that at least is the right way to go with watercolours: from light to dark. It would be worse if it was the other way around), but I do like it all the same, and I wanted to share this with you before I'm off to a family birthday, in a few hours.

I hope everyone is having a good weekend! Besides this birthday, I have nothing planned at all, which is very exciting!

Drawing meme #6

Death Bacholo
This time for [info]heartofoshun , who requested Beleg and gave me Tirion (a city) as a prompt. Now I'm notoriously good at avoiding drawing backgrounds, but here I could not find a way around it. All the same I'm afraid you get only the barest bones of one, Oshun! ;) Though I may want to revisit this one day and fill in the blanks...


Beleg in Tirion )

In RL news I had a rather horrible experience today which involved body parts that do not usually come up in polite conversation, which is of course why I bring it up here. ;)

TMI - you really don't have to read it.  )

What a day!

Two of my favourite flisters have their birthday today! [info]mrstater, who is the heart and soul of the R/T community, and like our own private Molly Weasley makes sure that we are all comfortable and well fed (with fic instead of cake, but still ;)) and [info]dawn_felagund who opened her home to me this summer and is a constant source of inspiration to me. I come bearing a gift that I threathened Dawn with while I was there. It is a two-page comic inspired by her story Sudden Flame. I have taken the liberty of using her own words in the comic, hoping that she won't mind. It enriched the story in an interplay between words and images that I just couldn't resist.

Dawn's AN:
"The sons of Finarfin bore most heavily the brunt of the assault, and Angrod and Aegnor were slain; beside them fell Bregolas lord of the house of Bëor, and a great part of the warriors of that people.
"Of the Ruin of Beleriand and the Fall of Fingolfin"

After his rescue from Dagor Bragollach, Finrod receives a vision of his brothers' fate.






You will probably need to click quite a few times to get the right size as I needed to leave them rather large for the text to make sense. :D

My gift for [info]mrstater will reveal itself at a later point as it is not quite ready to see the light of day at this moment.

For [info]duck_or_rabbitwho requested Harry Potter fandom, Sirius and Rosmerta with the prompt sheet. :D I had all sorts of thoughts to tease you by doing something not even remotely sexy despite your prompt. But what can you do when all your Sirius muse wants to do is take of his clothes, and Rosmerta is smiling encouragingly at him? I hope this will do!

[info]gilpin25 asked for Remus/Tonks and cloak. :D Again, this is perhaps not so imaginative a take on the prompts, but I hope you like it anyway, my dear! On a cold night, there is nothing like snuggling up and sharing his comfortable cloak, right?



And if you wonder why it has taken me quite some time to get this out here, I offer the excuse that I have been busy successfully selling myself on the job market, and can now quit my boring job as an accountant and take a step in a new direction in my working life that is imminently more exciting to me! :D

Now! Onto the last two drawbles. I have not forgotten you - rest assured. :D

[info]binkaslibrary asked for Thingol/Melian and Silmaril. I have seen several of those of you who have done this meme writing drabbles complain that it is hard to stay within 100 words. Well now even I fail at brevity! I had to do a little comic to get the idea in my head down on paper... I also wanted to try out my new watercolours, so I'm afraid you are all now subjected to my experimentation. It didn't go quite as well as I had hoped, but neither was it quite as bad as I had feared. I might redo this idea at some point when I master the media better, because I still think it is quite neat. :D I hope you like it, my dear Binka! 
(Full view please!) ;)

[info]train_lindz asked for Twilight, Edward and Jasper, and shirtless! :D So I bring her the sight that greeted Edward on that fated day when he returned and found some stranger living in HIS room. And incidentally ,it is [info]train_lindz's brithday today, so I hope this counts as a gift? lol! Have a lovely day and many happy returns, sweetie. :D

[info]ladybracknell asked for a drawing from Twilight, featuring Edward/Bella and gave the prompt "nighttime". I'm afraid this is probably very cliché but the idea wouldn't go away, and I got to try out a new technique as well that was mostly succesfull, so all is well. :D I hope you like it, my lady! *bows* (please click it for full view)

 

Oh and for all those of you who know [info]binkaslibrary , I just met her briefly on chat where she told me that her town is flooded, there is no public transport and the phones are barely working. It may take a while before she is online again, so keep her in your thoughts. 

Happy birthday Rhapsody!

I wish you all the best on this day (and all others!) I hope you have had time today to just sit and enjoy it with your two guys. :D Thank you for your friendship over this past year, and may there be many more!

I wanted to bring you a little something, but I couldn't decide what, until I remembered that you share my love for a certain Denethor - and he willingly showed up to muse me. The idea mutated (as per usual) so I haven't been able to finish it, but I can give you a glimpse of the sketch as it stands now:

Happy birthday to me!! ;)

Yay! It's my birthday - and like a good little hobbit I come bearing a gift to my lovely friends here on lj! (We all know I would rather be an elf, but this is such a cute tradition, that I'll play hobbit for a day if I have to. ;))

I finally finished colouring it (well more or less - I'm sure I can endlessly tweak this!) As you may notice, this is a photo.. I have done my best in photoshop, but it isn't quite the same as in real life. Just wait til  I get it scanned!! I made the size of this quite large in the hope that you can read the text.

I have finished a page!! Yay! And with [info]nanomango starting tomorrow, who knows what heigts of efficiency I might rise to?!

Anyway I'm off to celebrate my birthday by listening to my favourite Danish comic artist talking about his work, and later cooking a nice dinner for family and boyfriend! :D
