Can we have a Steampunk Appreciation Day?

[aredblush]

YOU GUUUUUUUYS!

"THE BALLAD OF MONA LISA" IS HERE!

Kerrang!, you are so much better than MTV. Sooooo much better! ILU KERRANG!! Even if you already took the video down /o\ That one is a cam recorder, but it's better than anything, no? (no really, what is this "not available in your region" crap? >:|) I also love Bden faces in this video! He makes the most ridiculous faces ever! :DDD Let's have a party in their honour \o/ And also in honour of seratonation and of_silverandsky who hooked me up <333

Anyway, today Panic! is playing in London and due to stupid rl I couldn't be there ç___ç Lucky me, I have a raffie79 who took a plane this morning and is going to be at the show and also at the M&G (so if any of you see an Italian girl at the show? That's Raffie! Hug her for me :D) and is going to take many pretty pictures \o/ To celebrate, let's have a silly doodle!




I made this for raffie79 because when she found out about the M&G, she asked all the Italian fans if they wanted to put together a booklet for her to give to the guys, to let them know that hey! There's a boot-shaped country that would really like to have them over for a show once in a while! Btw, I scanned the lineart before colouring it, so if you want to go on a colour-in spree, you can do it :) (and if you do, slap it in a comment and let me see! It is carnival week here! I want to see all the colours of the rainbow!)

ETA: (because I forget everythingomg) There is an Inception Anon Love Meme going on! Hop over and show some anon-love to all the people who make your heart grow three sizes in this fandom! ♥


Ion that surprise no one:
- I went to the flea market on Sunday and bought two tiny figurines; one is a toucan and the other should be a skunk (♥) but it has fox-ears and a terrier-face so maybe it is a mutant skunk, idk.
- Danny and Steve are so married I can't even *___*
- I want this steampunk pen sfm.
- Sloths are awesome and everyone should love them.
- I am working on 4 drawings at the same time. Talk about ADD.
- I am using masking fluid. What you should use it for: to mask the parts of the drawing you don't want your watercolours/inks/ecolines to cover. What you should do with it: paint it on the back of your hands and wait for it to dry so you can peel it off as if it was skin. Since masking fluid can be pretty expensive, I suggest you use white glue :D Have fun lovelies!

\o\/o/\o\/o/\o\ wooooo!!! :D:D:D

and omg that doodle is so adorable i smiled so big, booyyyyyssss

i think i will leave the line art alone, because your colouring is perfect, with the write jacket patterns, and the feather/bow tie matching <33 and the lovely gold for teh letters with the shadows *__*

ahahahah ive done the glue thing before. put it on stuff and peeled it off, then discovered i can put it on my hand and peel it off and pretend i was a mutant *nods*

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

*twirls and twirls and twirls* \o/

Hee, thank you bb *smooches* but you should totes grab the line art and have fun with it okay? YOU HAVE TO! BECAUSE I WANT TO SEE WHAT OTHER PEOPLE COME UP WITH!

ISN'T IT THE MOST FUN? Once, when I was really young, I covered my arms in white glue and went out and rubbed them against people and walls going all "I AM A SNAKEGIRL HISSSSSS!". Sometimes, it surpeise me that I didn't end up in a straight jacket.

[seratonation.livejournal.com]

lol i have it open in another tab. ill see how many of my colouring pencils i can hunt down :D

ahahahahaha omg most adorable kid ever. i was really quite, so this went on while i was meant to be studying. in high school :P

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

WHOOP! Pencils! You can give it a go with photoshop or something too! LET'S HAVE SOME FUN!

Ahahah, most terrible, you mean! Hee, high school! Let's not talk about the mini baseball clay games during Sculpture class :P

[seratonation.livejournal.com]

i dont have photoshop. most advanced is paint. but i like colouring pencils! :D:D

ahahahahaha oh man

(lol i thought i posted this but apparently i got distracted by paint. well see what happens :D)

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

Paint! Have you tried ArtRage (http://artrage.en.softonic.com/)? It's really similar, only prettier :P

[seratonation.livejournal.com]

i have a friend who uses it and raves about it, so ive seen it. ill give it a try i guess :D

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

Ahahah. Once upon a time, I had to use a Windows pc instead of a Mac and ArtRage was the only program who didn't make me spit venom every 3 minutes :D

[seratonation.livejournal.com]

oh dude its so hard! at least paint uses pixels /o\

i admit its really pretty, and ill prob mess around on it at some point, but not for something like this

[pixiebullets.livejournal.com]

OMG BB I LOVE THE DRAWING SO MUCCCCCHHH!!! *______________*

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

COOL! NOW GRAB THE LINE ART AND SHOW ME YOUR COLOURS :DDD

[laria-gwyn.livejournal.com]

Steampunk! I just started getting into that because of this book and this comic. So pretty!

Your doodle is gorgeous!

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

Steampunk is so so so awesome! I got into it... let's just say a while back... thanks to Last Exile and FMA :D They are such brilliant anime <333 That comic looks awesome, I'll have to check it out. Thanks for the tip ;)

Hee, thank you ♥

[chaoticallyclev.livejournal.com]

I still haven't watched that vid yet >.> ... I saw one still and my rain can't move beyond thinking it's the Sins video. I'll work up to it. eventually. maybe. (if I can keep myself from looking for Ryan every five seconds. sick with the flu or whatever in the background. with his floppy hair. See? I really think it's the same video.)

Your doodle is adorable though! ♥

That pen is ridiculously awesome.

sloths are the cuddliest.

I tried to write two letters at the same time last night, which was dumb of me.

And steve and danny are so ridiculously married I can't even take it. I really wish I'd recorded the episode so I could watch it over again right now.

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

Oh bb, I'm sorry the old video is haunting you! This one is pretty nice, and more that looking for Ryan, I kept trying to get a better look at the not-Ian guitarist because he reminded me a lot of Brent.

Thank you bb <333

Right? I want it soooo much! *grabby hands*

SLOTHS ARE THE BESTEST EVER THIS IS TRUE! *______*

I just finished one of them and am almost done with another one. The remaining two are still at the "sketch stage". Sometimes I have problem concentrating on one piece alone, so I work on multiple ones because I can focus better that way.

THEY ARE SO MARRIED <33333333333 I usually watch the eps on streaming (http://watchseries.eu/serie/hawaii_five-0) (wisevid is the best, imo, because it doesn't have the 72-minutes block like megavideo)

[chaoticallyclev.livejournal.com]

Ahaha, i was just in such a weird mood yesterday. brendon/ryan fic popped up on my flist and I went all teary-eyed (which, i pretty much stopped doing over this months ago). And then they were like, NEW VIDEO TONIGHT and i went like >:( / ;_; which is a hard face to make. and then it was only on the internet anyway and my computer and videos on the internet usually do not get along.

Yeah, I do that with fic? If I'm writing one, I usually have 1-2 others open at the same time that I'm tinkering with. Sometimes more than that. (ahaha, last year, I wrote my bandom big bang at the same time as a longer fic, and then three shorter ones. If I am in a writing mood, I do not stop for anything.)

I usually pull them up on cbs when my computer cooperates, or I make my friend send me the download links so I can keep them all on my computer to watche when the internet is down. EVen better, though, is that the eps keeping showing up on-demand on my cable menu, so I get to watch them on our obnoxiously large tv and see how heart-shaped Alex O's eyes really get.

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

I get that. Lately it's been hard for me to read Brendon/Spencer fics because I keep expecting for Ryan and Jon to pop up at some point and then when they don't I get all "Wait? Why are- Oh... right." I guess I'll get over it now that there will be more promotion with just the two of them...

Eh, my sketchbook is a mess of tiny doodles which I work on simultaneously. I find it really helps me being consistent with my style if I'm working on things from the same fandom :)

I am so very jealous of your obnoxiously large tv... You get to see Steve's pretty eyelashes in HD. So very very jealous omg!

[chaoticallyclev.livejournal.com]

I've never really been into Brendon and Spencer as a pairing. Mainly because I get the most stuck in OTP mode, and it's usually whatever I read first in any fandom. (Seriously. I latch onto things like a leechy leech.), but I've tried it a couple times. It's just not the same... sigh. (I am so nostalgic right now. Probably because I was having a fo quoting war with my friends via text, and I popped in a mix I had, that also had most my favorite panic! songs. it was possibly not the best decision)

Ha, it's my dad's obnoxiously large tv. The good news about most my shows eing on at 10pm is that I get to watch them by myself on a real tv. I enjoy it. Though, my laptop has a pretty big screen too, for a computer.

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

Eh, Brendon/Spencer is my OTP, but I do read all other combos (except for Ryan/Spencer: that one creeps me out, idk). Now that you mention it, I do tend to be mono-ship in all my fandoms... except for bandom, apparently. It must be because I think of it as a lego boxset: you get to stick characters together in whatever combination you prefer because it will always be an amazing combination!

My laptop is pretty large, too... but a wide screen tv, ohh, it is just glorious *sighs*

[chaoticallyclev.livejournal.com]

Ahaha, I fully agree with you on Ryan/Spencer. I mean, I *can* read Brendon/Spencer, it just isn't my favorite. Ha, I had to read Brendon/Spencer since my best friend wrote like 42k of it once.
I just get too attached to things to do anything but mono-ship? Like, before I get really into a fandom, I have no problem with it, but once I'm in and settled, there is veryy little change to my established reading patterns.

The sad thing about the widescreen tv is that I can't take screen caps on it. which is distressing.

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

Idk, it's just a weird pairing for me *shrugs*

I have this really weird habit where I have an OTP, but I'm mono-ship with only one of the people involved. It's like... I select the best possible person for that character and every other option just lose any interest for me. It is really upsetting, in a way, because I miss a lot of gorgeous stories because the pairing is not my OTP :(

That is sad, it is true... but the live experience is quite amazing, no?

[chaoticallyclev.livejournal.com]

I just saw Ryan and Spencer as way too much like family or how me and my friends interact to really ship them.
Yeah, I get that. (ugh, missing out on good stories sucks. It's like, I want to get into them? but I can't get past my little brain blockages. :\ stupid brain is stupid.)

I always miss stuff when I watch it live because I can't pause it to flail. And then I squeak at things and have to slap my hands over my mouth so I don't wake up my family. But it's still awesome, so whatever :D

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

Exactly! That's what makes it weird for me.

Ahah, I am "lucky" because all your programs? I have to see them online (because otherwise I'd have to wait months and months) and so I just pull them up at reasonable hours or as a background when I'm working :D

Also, that icon is adorable!

[chaoticallyclev.livejournal.com]

my friend bought me a paid account for my birthday, which I took as a sign that she was trying to encourage me to actually have more than 8 icons. :D so now I have a bunch of new shiny ones!

Yeah, that's pretty much why I don't keep up with Merlin at all. Because I am terribly impatient. And not used to the fact that this new computer can stream video pretty okay.

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

*snorts* that's why I keep getting a paid account: MOAR ICONS \O/

I abandoned Merlin early season 2 :( The only drawback about watching programs before they arrive here is that when they finally do, I have already moved on to new things and everyone thinks I'm a loner because I don't want to watch "the shiny new show" with them :\

[chaoticallyclev.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I might keep this paid account thing too, since I doubt I could decide which icons to let go...

Me too! Which was actually more because merlin kept switching tv channels and it just became too much effort to track down. and I am the most lazy about things that aren't my primary fandom. which then was bandom. so. Ha, i feel like I'm usually late to the party of "the shiny new show" because I hardly ever watch tv anymore. And I almost never look into anything a person recommends to me. Because I am stupidly stubborn. Someone reccomending a book or tv show to me pretty much guarantees that I a) won't watch it or b) won't like it. Unless they aren't really directing it towards me and it's more of a general, look how awesome this is! scenario. then we're cool.

[angelgazing.livejournal.com]

OH MY GOD HOW ADORABLE ARE THEY? *coos over Spencer and Brendon*


Seriously, Nas, seriously, I want ALL the fic where Steve and Danny continue to be accidentally married. ALL OF IT.

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

Ahahah, they are such dorks! <333

OMG ALL OF THEM NIC! I WANT ALL OF THEM AND THEN I WANT TO FLAIL AT YOU ABOUT EACH ONE! I think I am finally at a point in my fandom life where I need a Steve icon... and a Danny one. Maybe Chin needs a spot too

[saba1789.livejournal.com]

Awww, I love that doodle! :D

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

Merci Saba! <3333

[ordinaryink.livejournal.com]

STEAMPUNKKKKKKK ♥_____♥

Your doodle is perfect and adorable. And I really have nothing else coherent to say other than that.

♥

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

I AM SO EXCITED! THIS IS THE BEST THEME THEY COULD HAVE PICKED :DDD

Thank you bb <333 But it's not as adorable as you icon (omgRatatouille!♥)

[of-silverandsky.livejournal.com]

That is so cute! BUT YOU SHOULD DOODLE SOME PATD/STEAMPUNK :D?

:O that steampunk pen has all that?? I want it too!!!!

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

IT IS ON MY TO-DO LIST! I PROMISE! I just have ten thousand other things to finish first /o\

Isn't is awesome? *grabby hands*

[squashbee.livejournal.com]

Oh, you poor baby. I would totally rip the official version for you and send you the file so it can live immortally on your PC in all of its steampunk glory. ;_;

speaking of which-

HELLO, SEXY + STEAMPUNK. WHY ARE YOU SO JUMP-ABLE? I saw Brendon's hat, then his face, and THEN this outfit, and I was like "OMGSOMEONENEEDSTODRAWITIAMINLOVE". AND THEN THERE'S SPENCER, TOO, HE IS AMAZING. Lo and behold, there's fanart here! <3<3<3

I shall have dreams tonight. :D

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

I am going to have a steampunk fanart party as soon as I finish al the other things I have to do because STEAMPUNK! OMG! I AM SO HAPPY :DDD

<333

[squashbee.livejournal.com]

YES, I NEED TO JOIN YOU. <3

...Well, I will, once rl stops interfering. :[

[of-evangeline.livejournal.com]

I just saw the vid and OMG OF COURSE THEY DID STEAMPUNK BECAUSE THEY LOVE ME. Ahaha at first I thought Brendon was a vampire, what with the creepy looks and all. And SPENCER. SPENCER IS MY FAVOURITE. Look at him being a hotass! Look at him being perfect while existing! *___________* And I love that doodle, bb! *...prints it*

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

They are such dorks and also so perfect and I am so freaking happy they went with the steampunk theme! You don't even know :DDD

♥♥♥♥

[milenaa.livejournal.com]

So many awesome things in one post. That drawing! <3

And the most epic pen I have ever seen, holy crap. I can't see how you could comfortably write with that, but who even cares with a pen that epic.

Masking fluid is the devil >:( No matter how careful I am, I always manage to damage the paper in at least one spot when taking it off.

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

<333

Look, I'll use a regular ballpoint to write, okay? I must have that pen *______*

Right? RIGHT? I want to punch the person who came up with it in the face because they made it too freaking sticky! It's supposed to peel off like a stupid removable sticker. Why does it peel off half of the drawing too? Why? *whines*
