Bahrain GP Weekend

More F1 stuff, I chose these as they're the most recent ones but they're also all very different! The middle Nico one came with one of my favourite quotes of all time:

Bottom line is, even if you see ‘em coming, you’re not ready for the big moments. No one asks for their life to change, not really. But it does. So what are we, helpless? Puppets? No. The big moments are gonna come. You can’t help that. It’s what you do afterwards that counts. That’s when you find out who you are. You’ll see what I mean.

And it was particularly poignant as he'd just qualifying in pole position.

The bottom one is Romain because.. he's Romain :') <3

Rock n Roller Derby

Bah I can't get these to go in the right order.. Anyway, Em Balmer from roller derby asked me to draw something to go on her website featuring herself and Thumper. She was pretty particular about what she wanted and I didn't have to redo it at all as she was so happy with it first time! Which was ace! I also got paid for it, so it's all-round win win for me :)

Four of the best

Aaand these are some of my favourite edits that I've made lately. Not so much with the drawing. I've been dabbling in more graphic-y stuff, and I've discovered I like pastel shades, simple clean fonts and washed out photos. Who new? Oh, and square format is my new best friend, apparently. I've done a fuckton more of ones like these but it would probably be pointless to put them here. Check them all out at MY AWESOME F1 BLOG :B

Anyway, I love these, and I love making them so that's all that matters, right?

F1-related shenanigans. We could be here a while.

Haha, I forgot about these. These were some silly fast tiny things I did a while back, aaaaand they don't make much sense out of context now(!) but hey ho. Both of the Seb ones were from ace videos though.

MIA(!)

Sorry I haven't posted in like.. weeks but F1 started again and I got kind of distracted. Which is now why most of my art is F1-related...

This is one of my faves of recent weeks though:

Little Sebastian and Kimi!

I also posted many MANY graphic-y edits about certain drivers and I'm not sure if I should separate them out into their own posts or kind of condense them together. I'll probably just pick my favourite ones and post them. Because I should leave them here, really.

Sebastian

Presenting Sebastian Vettel. three time Formula 1 World Champion. And all round ace and funny guy.

I kind of love doing these, it's not the hardest thing to do, as I am drawing from a modified reference photo, but I just find it very.. soothing I guess. I don't have to worry about too much. And they look cool at the end. People (okay two people) have said that I should sell them, but I don't know how I feel about that.. We'll see.

Now who to do next! I've done my favourites.. Maybe Nico Rosberg, or Jenson Button. Someone suggested I do "Legends" so maybe I'll try a Senna! If I can find a good enough photo.

Also! Red Bull retweeted my tweet with this in, and yet again, twittersplosion. Two for two on team retweets now!

The Iceman Cometh ...Again.

After I finished my Romain Grosjean drawing, I couldn't NOT do a Kimi one. Over this winter break I've kind of fallen in love a bit with Kimi Raikkonen, I already knew he was awesome (he is a World Champion after all), and that he was hilariously laid back, but then I kinda got involved in the Tumblr world of F1 and there's a lot of Kimi love there! My team for this season is definitely Lotus, especially after they retweeted my Romain drawing and spoke to me:

And obviously for just being all-round amazing people, totally the best at interacting with the fans and have a genuine sense of humour. So yeah, sorry JB, you'll still always be my man, but 2013 is the year of the Lotus boys.

Oh oh, last night I read this brilliant fanfic (I know, don't judge me) about Sebastian Vettel being a robot - a creation of Red Bull made to win races - and that's almost EXACTLY what I said about him all through 2011. But oh gosh this fic... Properly got to me, and the ending... Literal gasps of horror. Anyway, here it is, but be warned that there's quite heavy graphical Kimi/Seb but it's all very sweet and makes total sense in context.
