doodle-dump time!

[aredblush]

Hello flist.
Welcome to another doodle-dump post. Today's show features silly, crackish, AUish appearances from Arthur, Eames and Ariadne and the Panic! boys travelling through time and space aboard a blue police box. Do not judge me! I was prompted!



A long time ago, in an LJ entry far far away, angelgazing prompted me with "Arthur/Eames, lightning".



...Look, I know that there's no lightning to speak of in that thing up there, but that's really how this Cupid!AU thingie came to be. No, really. She said lightning and my brain went "Yo! It's Cupid!Arthur timez! \o/". Now, this first second incarnation of Cupid!Arthur is quite tragic. I didn't set out to make him look sadder than a three-legged sheep, but I couldn't stop thinking about how Cupid!A must be a very lonely guy, too busy fixing other people's love lives to take care of his own little heart (oh god I still tear up when I think about it ;__;). angelgazing and I were very sad about this turn of events but we couldn't find a way to fix it, and so I dumped that doodle in my album so as not to see that mopey face anymore and tried to forget about it.

Fast forward to January and me watching Fantasia. You remember the Pastorale clip? Where all the centaurs get to be paired up with the centaurettes except one? Long story short, I wanted an AU of it with Ariadne as a fawn.



And since I'm trying to stay away from all things hooved (yes, there were plans for A/E as centaurs but, ah, centaur porn romances are a prerogative of HP fandom), Arthur kept being a Cupid and since I still failed to come up with a plausible plot, you only get the part of the story where Hermes!Eames take matters (and Arthur's litte heart) in his own hands.



I tried to bribe angelgazing into writing a drabble for this, but not even Surfer!Eames did the trick *pouts* (also, ignore the water. I clearly need to learn how to draw stuff before slapping it on paper like that)




Also, also. Someone should stop me from perpetrating this nonsense (read: the NorthernDownpour!AU where Eames leaves graffiti art all over town as messages for Arthur. angelgazing says this one below is the one he left to tell Arthur he was leaving town.) RIGHT NOW DDD:



Tbh, though, the idea of Eames going around leaving a trail of graffiti love notes came from doodling this cover for my doodle playlist




Anyway, enough with the Inception blabbering. Let's move onto the Panic! boys who appear to have raided The Doctor's wardrobe! wethepainted agreed with me and then we decided to have an art exchange and she prompted me with Doctor!Brendon and Amy!Spencer" :D (she totes got the short stick. I prompted her with "Sherlock drinking tea" and I already know her piece will blow this one out of existence!)




Speaking of art exchange, would anyone be interested in one? The walls beside my desk are half empty (yes, I'm going the negative route here) and I'd love to clutter them up with doodles from my flist :3 They wouldn't be too elaborated or anything, just a simple doodle/sketch on the back of a postcard or something like that. So, um, idk, let me know?



I feel guilty about clogging your flist page with silly doodles so have some art recs that are actually worthy of your attention:

- This Sherlock-inspired drawing by wethepainted. I love love love Ace's style and this drawing is just precious. Look at all those curls! Look at the shading! Look at the draping of the skarf! ♥

- ordinaryink continues to bring artsy sparkle in my life. This week she did so with this gorgeous Goblin. I am utterly speechless and also a lot in love. ordinaryink has a way with colours that makes me want to weep in awe. Click on the link and come be amazed with me.

- I have this habit of strolling around DA (as in DeviantART, not DoodlersAnonymous) for hours and a while ago I stumbled over this brilliant brief explanation of colour theory by Purplekecleon (if flash doesn't work for you, you can see it here. Et si vous êtes français, il y a aussi une version française). I'm not sure how many people would be interested in this, but I thought I'd share anyway :)


In other news, I need to get my act together and finish my assignment for the eames_arthur exchange, resolve the stupid problems in my IBB piece, do the one for ReverseBang and turn the sketches for bandomvalentine into actual drawings. Deadlines, why must you breathe down my neck? Also, did I miss the BBB artists sign-up?

So ADORABLE. *_________*

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

Thank you, darling ♥

[delires.livejournal.com]

:DDD

SO MUCH CUTE. ♥

I love the surfing one best. Hee.

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

Did I manage to cheer you up? :D?

I like how Eames came out, but the water, ugh. I really need to sketch water more often /o\

[delires.livejournal.com]

I like the water. Also, Arthur's expression is my faaaavourite. :D

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

He has the face of someone who's having fun, yes? :D

[xbeax.livejournal.com]

Ajajaja omg! I loved the Spencer/Brendon Doctor Who drawing the best! <3

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

I've missed drawing those failboats! <333

[laria-gwyn.livejournal.com]

Those are all precious and too cute for words. :D

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

Hee, thank you <333 I'm glad you like them :)

[merely-anger.livejournal.com]

I am officially in love with the surfing doodle. ♥ :) So cute! I think it's the hair that did me in. Now I just want fic for it.

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

Aww, thank you! That's the one I'm most unsure of :) My sources tell me angelgazing snatched the surfers harlequin prompt for the harlequin challenge, so we are in luck ;)

[merely-anger.livejournal.com]

Oh my gosh, yes! :) Such good news. It's for harlequincepted right? And you have no need to be unsure of the surfer one because it's perfect!

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

Yes yes! I was overjoyed when she grabbed that one :D And thank you <3

[angelgazing.livejournal.com]

God, I love all of these SO MUCH it's just ridiculous. SO MUCH LOVE, NAS. ALL OF THE LOVE. <3333

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

AND I LOVE YOUR FACE <33333

[hybiscus.livejournal.com]

failboat is love,along with yout other drawings <3

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

They are my very fave <333
Thank you, I'm pleased you like them :)

[wethepainted.livejournal.com]

THE RUNNING, OMG! I love their ridiculous failboat selves going on timey-wimey adventures! Now I want to know what happens next/what they're running from... I bet you could tell me ;)

Also, fawn!Adriane has beautiful texture, and I want all the ND!AU :D

Thanks for the rec, bb ♥

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

AHAHAH, THEIR TINY, BOUNCY LEGS! I think they are running because they somehow managed to anger the lovely people of Alydract7 by inferring that hot sauce is not the best custard for an optical fibres pie. The Alydractans didn't take the critic to their haute cuisine very well :(

Hee, thank you! I'm very fond of this paper I found: it's very soft to the touch and it's really permeable, not enough to be good for watercolours, but it absorbs copic markers ink really well without losing the texture. I'll send you some sheets next time so you can try it :)

Your drawing should be always recced <333

[of-evangeline.livejournal.com]

Cupid!Arthur! I'm so glad Hermes!Eames came along! He looks so sad without him. And ahahaha Arthur looks like he's holding on for dear life on that surfboard, while Eames is having the time of his.

OMG SPENCER AND BRENDON. I'VE MISSED THESE BOYS SO MUCH. AHHAHAHAHA BOWTIES ARE COOL, INDEED. *draws all the hearts*

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

Right? I firmly believe that Eames is the bringer of joy and everyone should have an Eames in their life <3 Poor Arthur has never been on a surfboard before! There are sharks in the sea!

OMG THOSE FAILBOATS! I HAVE MISSED DRAWING THEM LIKE CRAZY! I'm so happy they are back :D

Thank you so much sweetie ♥

[ohohstarryeyed.livejournal.com]

I would do an art exchange with you but I doubt you want an amazing picture filled with stick figures holding hands under rainbows /o\

Also Hi! That Brendon and Spencer Doctor Who one is ADORABLE.

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

Stick figures are totes awesome, okay! Also rainbows are ♥! I'll prob make another entry to organise this thing better though ;)

Hee, thank you bb! *smooches* I had so much fun drawing them ♥♥♥

aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh so cute all of them i want to snuggle them all night long.

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

:D Thank you bb! I'm happy you like them ♥♥♥

[ordinaryink.livejournal.com]

YOUR DOODLES ARE THE MOST ADORABLE!

AND YES. BOW TIES ARE AWESOME. ♥____♥

I love the fact that you stroll around DA, because I have this insane habit of stalking art, anywhere I can get it. You've probably seen these sights, but I thought I would rec them anyway!

'skine art - moleskine art

Artist A Day

Gig Posters - Okay, well, I may have a thing for gig posters. A big thing. BUT IT IS A FUN SITE!

My delicious! I've been known to hoard artists.

I don't know whether you'd find these interesting or have already seen them, but you're always reccing art! So, I figured you must love looking at art! And these are great sites and completely waste your entire day on. I've done it. A lot. I'm mostly bad on DA, though, because I have about 800 favorites. *facepalm*

Thank you for the rec, bb, and I hope you enjoy the sites!

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

AS ARE YOURS! Really, everytime you post something I do the happy dance :)

Bow ties! I am so delighted by their new wardrobe choises <333

Ohh! I know 'skine art and Gig Posters, but Artist a Day is new to me. I believe I'll spend this week browsing your delicious! So many bookmarks *_____*

Thank you so much for the links! I love looking at art and then come here and flail at people about it *g* DA is a veritable time eater, this is true. I check the DDs everyday and if I like a piece I go snooping into the artist's gallery and then look at their faves and then I can just wave goodbye to any plans I had for the rest of the day... My faves on DA are pretty much under control, but I bookmark things like I need to collect them all /o\

[ordinaryink.livejournal.com]

It took me a good three days of wasting my life to make my way through the entire Artist a Day archive. /o\

And I keep telling myself, "Tracey, one day you have to sit down and write descriptions for all the artists on your delicious." BUT THEN I GET DISTRACTED BY ACTUALLY LOOKING AT THE ART, INTSEAD.

But man, I know how it feels, especially on DA, because once you find an artist whose style you like, YOU HAVE TO STALK ALL THEIR FAVORITES AND THEN YOU STALK THOSE PEOPLE'S FAVORITES AND...what was I suppose to be doing???

But I do hope you enjoy those sites! *beams*

mopey little arthur! im glad he got an eams to kiss him :D:D

the northern downpour AU would be amazing, you should keep going iwth it *_____________*

spencers polka dot shirt! brendons hat!! so adorable!!!

i would definitely be interested in an art exchange, though my art skills leave much to be desired. and that colour theory explanation is kind of awesome, i wish i had the brain power to get through it, i might finish it tomorrow, coz it looks facinating!

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

*sighs* Isn't he lucky? <333

Ahahah, no way! I'm bad at series like that!

I love their new wardrobe like burning!

Aw, skills have nothing to do with this project! I'll probably set up an entry later on to organise this thing better :)

I found that tutorial pretty great. It is simple but very thorough :)

[seratonation.livejournal.com]

lol just go with it and see where you end up! oh dude it would be so awesome!

the new wardrobe looks like so much fun! im excited to know what the live shows will be like :D

\o/\o/ ill do my best :D

[athousanderrors.livejournal.com]

Northern downpour au? What what what?

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

I don't know, okay? I was innocently thinking of Eames handling spray paint and then ND came up on shuffle and BAM, ND!AU. I need it in my life! Someone should write it for me!

[athousanderrors.livejournal.com]

Aw man, I thought you meant there WAS one. *sadface of woe*

ION, your drawings are awesome. I am in love with Eleven!Brendon. :D

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

*sadfaces with you* I've pitched the idea to angelgazing, but she said it was my idea and I should illustrate the whole thing instead of making her write it so she could be the one to enjoy the outcome this time (which is totally fair since she's been writing stuff for me since forever).


Aww, thank you bb! I think Brendon would be an hilarious Doctor :D
