There's nothing like a good, old-fashioned sex scandal to inspire the comedy writers at Saturday Night Live. Here was last Saturday's spoof: |

From the notes on the webpage: "They can't recognize the sound of dial-up, they hear "Baby One More Time" and say "It's the song from 'Robots'," but they know about climate change and how to download music to their cell phones. Yes, they are 9-year-olds just coming to understand the absurd decade they were born into. What makes these kids' explanations so adorable? Just after talking about terrorism and global warming, they go on to list their biggest fears as Bigfoot, murderous dolls and The Jersey Devil, among others. Kids will be kids!" Almost makes me want to be a kid again... Almost :P

For those of you so inclined, you can now follow us on Twitter. Handy for updates and episode progress without needing to subscribe to each episode-progress thread on the forum! Also good for random news, when random things of newsworthiness occur. Also: Ep 20 inking is done, and I'm now onto the scanning and toning bit. Second last step - getting ever so close now!

Just wanted to share some more of the wonderful Ice & Fire miniatures from Dark Sword. First, some lovely painted versions of Prince Oberyn Martell, the Red Viper of Dorne, and Ser Gregor Clegane, the Mountain That Rides, dueling for the life of Tyrion Lannister. Tom Meier did the sculpts, and Matt Verzani painted these for the Dark Sword studio collection. Tom is always so exacting about scale and size with his sculpts; I love how this pairing brings home Ser Gregor's monstrous size in such a vivid and visceral way. And of course Matt has done a wonderful job with the paint, as always. And while Matt's been busy with his brush, Tom has been sculpting up a storm in his studio, and we have some great new greens to add to the range. These aren't in production yet, but look for them soon. And Sansa: And a personal favorite, Sansa building her snow castle at the Eyrie: For more information and pictures, visit the Dark Sword website at http://darkswordminiatures.com/ And remember, miniatures make wonderful stocking stuffers for all the Ice & Fire fans in the family.

Horked from all of you! If I was a snoopylover1967, a perfect snoopylover1967, how would you know it was really me? Which movie was this quote from?

Title: When I Kissed the Teacher Characters: Snape, Hermione Rating: G Notes: The first of what I hope will be many drawings using Richard Armitage as a reference for Snape. The reference for this picture was a screen capture from one of the final scenes in North & South with Armitage and Daniela Denby-Ashe. I was stuck for a title, so I borrowed a familiar fandom reference. |

Warm hugs to Yesterday evening I was pottering around with my watercolours. I 'potter around' much more often than applying myself seriously - mostly because, though I love watercolour, it also makes me nervous, and I have to overcome my fear before I can paint something 'for real'. It is just so easy to ruin a picture if you have as little skill with watercolour as I have :/. And yet it's fun! What I was actually supposed to be doing is to paint Christmas cards. Trouble is, I haven't got a design yet that I like enough and can replicate a dozen of times. So instead I started to mess around. That is when I decided to do a little try-out for Gawain. It's very frustrating: he's the hero of my comic (even though at this point in the narrative he hasn't been born yet), but I have such trouble getting him to look right. One thing that annoys the hell out of me is that I never manage to colour his hair properly. Gawain has glorious red hair, and it's sort of important. Now, I used to start from a basis of cadmium red because I reasoned that real red hair looks a bit orange-y. But it always looked awful on poor Gawain, and it was also pretty difficult to combine with greens and blues. It was garish. Now, I'm pretty sure that much of the failure is due to my own ineptitude at mixing colours. But, well, there's no one but me to do this, so... In my experiment of yesterday, I started from a basis of crimson with some raw sienna. I have never seen anyone with this hair colour, but it gets the point across and it is easy to combine. I like the result - even though there is, as usual, lots of other stuff wrong with the picture :s. ( Piccie! )

I am sorry that I have been rather a poor blogger and commenter lately. I have been busy beyond the realms of normality. I am just about to go on a 1000k trip to my mother's to pack up her house. She is moving from her long term home into a unit in a retirement village near where I live. She is getting very frail, has severe rheumatoid arthritis and is getting very anxious and she needs to be closer than 1000k to family. It is going to be hard work, a life time to sort out and tactfully dispose of….and very hot 45 degree C last time I looked *sigh* I do not like heat and that sort of heat while cleaning out a shed is going to be not at all pleasant. However I comfort myself that getting this done means I will never have to go back there again. *praise be!!!* I can scarcely express how much I do not like ridiculous amounts of heat! An aversion formed young no doubt as I grew up in Darwin…hot and dry or hot and wet but always hot. Suffice it to say I do not live there now! Fortunately my best beloved can come to so solace will be at hand, or at least some one I can whinge too. Being English he like the heat about as much as me. So I will be gone and internet-less for about a month. I can feel the withdrawal starting already. I may not have been commenting or posting but I have been reading. I am taking the laptop and will try to write and I’ll post some stuff on return. Meanwhile, thanks so much to those kind people who sent me some snowflakes recently, I really needed them, it was 36C here at the time and we are very concerned about the fire risk. I wish you all a merry, safe and hopefully cool Christmas and I will try to lift my act next year! |
