Doodle dump! + recs

I’ve been meaning to do it for months but I was distracted/was lazy/forgot, so here be all the silly doodles I’ve been sprinkling around the internet since September (the reason behind this is that I like having things all in one place and also because I am terrified of links dying on me D:). I may have shared links to these things before, so it’s likely you’ve already seen them all.

Anyway, things I made and abandoned somewhere on the internet: )

Um, so. To make this entry worth something, have some artsy recs \o/

- [livejournal.com profile] yuletart keeps bringing awesomeness into the world! These past few days fandom has been regaled with heaps of truly amazing fanart! (and, um, I don’t even know half of the fandoms here, I just really liked the art!)
ETA! OMG YOU GUYS I JUST RECEIVED MY YULETART! LOOK AT IT! OMG LOOK AT IT! IT'S HANDSOME BOB RIDING TOOTHLESS! MY FACE IS STUCK ON :D AND I CAN'T STOP FLAPPING MY HANDS LIKE A DERANGED SEAL OVER HOW GORGEOUS IT IS! LOOK AT THE SHADING! LOOK AT BOB! LOOK AT TOOTHLESS AMAZING EXPRESSION! OMG! <333333333333333333

- [livejournal.com profile] holiday_heist is a source of neverending joy and I just can’t point out just a few of the fanarts because THEAY ARE ALL SPECTACULAR, OKAY? Even if you’re not into Inception, you should go over there and let some gorgeous art in your life! There isn’t a single one that is not a feast for your eyes! (and the fics are amazing too! I fail at commenting, lately, but know that I want to draw little hearts in sparkly silver gel pen all over every single entry!)

- HP7 brought back lots of nostalgia and I went on a stroll down Fanart Memory Lane! Does anyone remember this Snidget art? Or Makani’s beautifully hilarious sketches? Or [livejournal.com profile] red_rahl’s Bedroom Eyes comic of awesome, which features the same penguin of To Have and To Hold? (I remember there was also a companion ficlet to these, but I don’t know where to find it because at the time I hadn’t discovered Delicious yet. Random trivia: after reading it I made my sister sew me an Indigo!Penguin of my very own.) Also also, let’s not forget the sheer brilliance of Sherant! I remember hers were the first fanarts I stumbled upon when I was moving my first steps into fandom and to this day I still go back and look at her art and just stare in awe and wish one day to be even half as good as her.


I still owe people some doodles ([livejournal.com profile] delires, I haven't forgotten! I promise to deliver ASAP! [livejournal.com profile] seratonation, I read the email, am thinking about it! [livejournal.com profile] sunsetmog, am sketching victorian sofa with people sitting on it! All of you, DON'T DESPAIR!) and I'll probably go on a comment spree later this week. In the meantime, dear flist, rec me your favourite art! :D? (and, uh, also some music? My "doodle playlist" is starting to be irritating instead of inspiring)

It's a blizzard!!!

I have received three snowflakes since I woke up this morning (thank you so much [livejournal.com profile] milenaa, [livejournal.com profile] raffie79 and [livejournal.com profile] sunsetmog!!! ETA: And [livejournal.com profile] of_silverandsky too! ETA2: and also [livejournal.com profile] wethepainted!). This made me so very happy because I finally got into the holiday spirit! I'd really like to spread the cheer around so I propose we all send a snowflake v-gift to our own entire flists and have a snowflakes party! And then we can start a sing along of Christmas carols and have s'mores around the fireplace :D

Or, if you'd prefer, we can all head over to [livejournal.com profile] mfac and rejoyce in the awesomeness that is this utterly amazing MultiFandom Advent Calendar \o/

In other news, it looks like Deathly Hallows will be epic!!! The trailer, at least, points in that direction!. I want it nao!

Art post and other bits

So.... it's May the 6th.... AREN'T WE ALL EXCITED ABOUT BBB?!?!?!
I jotted down a couple of ideas for the art I'm going to do yesterday. I'm so hyped right now that I feel like I could finish it today and then go back and see if there's still a summary that intrigues me enough to claim it. Doing fanart is amazing!

Anyway... Yesterday my art juices were slow. Luckily, I stumbled over The Black Parade Mary-Sue Art Meme hosted by [livejournal.com profile] theopterix! It gave me the "starting kick" I needed :)
Go Unicorns! )

When L saw that I was doodling around, she put on her best pouting face and said "Remeber that couple of HP strips you started THREE YEARS AGO AND NEVER FINISHED?!?!?" I did the first one back in 2006 and sketched he second but never finished it. Until yesterday.
H/D strips: they make me miss that fandom )

Now, back to bandom. There's a perfectly nice and all around awesome BRAND NEW community on DW! It's [info]patd_slash! Go there and join!

And, still on DW, if you are a fan of Merlin, there is a Merlin Comment Porn Party right here! Go prompt and wait for someone to answer with porn ;) My wish has already been fulfilled

And now I have to go because my sketchbook is giving e the eye :D

P.S. Nada Surf wins at life

Come gather 'round people

I don't have writer's block (actually, I wrote 652 words of dorky!Darwin fic that I don't hate, so...), but this caught my eyes :)

[Error: unknown template qotd]

5 books; or 4 books and an arc )

This past week I went to the cinema twice. On the 8th I went with a friend to celebrate International Women's Day and we watched "I Love Shopping" (she said she really wanted to see it, but if it was too "easy" for me we could choose something else.... I didn't know if should have been offended or not), while on Tuesday I forcedpolitely asked my sister to come with me to watch "Watchmen". EPIC AWESOMENESS OF AWESOMELY EPIC PROPORTIONS! I loved it to pieces (apart from those scenes on Mars... they looked too much like those forwarded slideshows about the meaning of life and God's project for you and whatnot) and I pretty much fell in love with the soundtrack... which is why I uploaded it here for you ;D

So, today I was surfing the internet, looking for funny tees... and then I found one with THE PANIC BOYS AS GIRAFFES!!!!!. IT SHALL BE MINNNNNNNNNE!!! Either I'll do it myself, or I'll buy it with the money from those tattoos I'm going to do next week.

So, since tomorrow I'll be busy with PACKING MY BAG because I leave Saturday morning for the FOB SHOW IN MILAN, this will be the last post until next Tuesday (when I'll probably get up at noon and then try to write a passable recap of the show with pictures).
See you :)

(OMG! First FOB show in Italy EVER!!! And I'll be there!!!!)

The 5 Things Meme: the Drawing Version

So.... Let's start this rambling post saying that I love memes of the "5 times/things" variety an unhealthy amount. I like reading the prompts and I enjoy even more reading what the authors come up with. The only let down is that I can't ever partecipate to those because writing fails me (even more when it's in a language that is not my own). But.
A couple of days ago [livejournal.com profile] milenaa asked for 5 times/things prompts and earlier she posted the response to mine (you might want to click on the link, read it, be jealous that she wrote it for me and then save it in your memories. Sorry for the smugness, but it totally deserves it). Anyway, I told her about my love for this kind of meme and that I wanted someone to invent a 5 things meme for people who can't write worth beans but are quite capable with pencils. She went all "Duh! You just did!". So, to thank her for her awesomeness at writing (and making me realize the obvious) I drew the response to her prompt.
Therefore, I hereby present you the first ever (at least to my knowledge; if you know if someone has to be credited for the idea, let me know) 5 Things Meme: The Drawing Version.
[livejournal.com profile] milenaa's request was : 5 Things Brendon threw at Ryan.
I don't think there need to be a warning, but just to be safe: there's a hint at a slash pairing that is so veiled I don't believe you'll catch it so...
Catch! )
I had so much fun doing this that I decided to follow [livejournal.com profile] milenaa's advice and give this thing a try, so...
Give me prompts? I'm in Bandom, Harry Potter, Disney and Merlin fandoms so you'll have to ask for something from those realms and, please, keep in mind that this is an art meme, so don't prompt me with, say, "the 5 aspects of Andy's personality that Patrick can't stand" because I wouldn't even know where to bash my head. Ask for something "drawable" (I don't care if that is not even a word).
Other than that, go wild! Spread the word and tell your friends about it. I'm a friendly person so you don't have be on my flist to prompt me. :)
