Hope you've all been having lovely holidays!
Ah, my poor neglected LJ. Determined to make at least one post before the end of the year, so here is a filthy and disgustingly huge scribble dump from 2011-2012.
2011
I was almost going to finish this, and then trees. Ah well, maybe I'll go back to it someday.
Colour test. More things I'll prolly never finish.
Sob, I remember not needing to pull up any chara ref to draw these. Sad.
Got a feeling this is really similar to an official art. Ah well.
For
kirjekyyhkynen's birthday.
Possibly also drawn off some official art, but I can't remember. Yes, I did watch T&B :V.
Rubbish trees, not rubber trees.
Hahaha, critter on top looks like it's trying to dodge a kancho.
Man, messy sketches.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
2012 January - March
Leather pirate hat started at the beginning of the year. Didn't finish it until September haha.
My half of a trade with
titash.
Rubbish at markers.
Haha, pretty sure the blockhead is from after watching Despicable Me.
Long story short, I got super obsessed with
Phantom of the Opera. I was going to draw a bunch of parody comics but never got around to it. Here's the initial chara designs though.
2012 April - June
2012 July - September
Sey and Val, bffs ♥
An
Elmyra version of Sey, tormenting
amranx.
Yeah, I totally fanarted
Wicked. Shush. Young Elphie and G(a)linda are adorbs.
Love Jemma Rix and Suzie Mathers'
chemistry of the characters.
Put together the artwork, organization and conbook editing for
AmranCon, where
amranx was the Guest of Honor.
It was a pretty wild con, though you didn't hear about the owl incident or croissant party from me.
For
Talk like a Pirate Day. I finished my pirate hat just in time for this and managed to rig up a frilly outfit to boot. Need to make a
Tickle Trunk.
2012 October - December
Taught
amranx how to make his own pirate hat. Might clean up and post the patterns online later.
Yes, it's the Rum Tum Tugger from
Cats. Hair curl for the win.
I whipped up a Cats costume for Halloween this year, though no good photos of it yet.
Cluny doodle I was going to clean up for watercolor. I'll just post for now because who knows if I'll get around to it.
Quick experiment in jennadelle's style. She's got such a crazy way with silhouettes.
Documented the coloring process for this. Can be found
here.
Still have a bunch more sketches to post up. I left the stack at work though, so it'll have to wait until the new year.
SABA/
divide, if you still read LJ, where are you posting your stuff nowadays? I think you've changed dAs since I last checked. I am being a bad stalker.
The year has been a busy one and with a lot more travelling than I'm used to. Maybe I'll elaborate later, but here's the condensed version.
- February - CATS Touring
- March - Vancouver
- June - London/UK ♥, PotO 25th Touring, PotO London, War Horse London
- August - Cirque du Soleil : Quidam
- August - Work Hell/Unhealthy Head Spaces
- August End - Las Vegas, Phantom Vegas
- September - Work Hell
- October - Work Hell
- December - Barenaked Ladies & ESO Live, ESO Christmas Feast
- December - Work Hell Level 9, Week of Technological Misfortunes BUT CHRISTMAS WAS SAVED.
It sounds really negative up there but looking back, I managed to get through it all with support from my friends and family (and yelling into the void, and loud wailing of Disney songs). Thanks for always sticking around and putting up with my griping (and letting me make your eardrums bleed) ♥

Ah, and a contact info update. I currently don't use much in the way of instant messaging as I'm nearly always using the phone for online access, and less sitting my rump down at the computer. If anyone still reading this uses an IM client and wants to pick up, give me a shout and I'll try to get in the habit of being on again.
- LJ : Still a scribble and finished project dump. Slightly filtered as I try not to repost too much from galleries.
- Steam : Current messaging client. Don't have the free time to game too often lately but if you want to hit up some multi-p, let me know.
- Twitter : Mostly for keeping in touch with friends and following interesting things. Photo updates usually only during travel, and the occasional In-My-Life tweet (less than once a week).
- Tumblr : Planned to dump WIPs, craft and costume things here. Not updated often.
- FA : For critter and anthropomorphic art. Currently updated most often out of everything (which still isn't much).
- dA : Planning to update in the new year with older works to archive them, and then sticking my more humanoid/anime things up there.
Welp, that's it for now. Here's to 2013! Have a safe and excellent New Year, everyone!
