Noonz

CATZ IN CUPZ! I don't know if this site actually exists or not. BUT IT SHOULD.

This is some fanart for Marc Ellerby's Chloe Noonan: Monster Hunter. And if you haven't read it yet you totally should because it's ace. And Chloe is the best reluctant, moody ginger heroine you have ever seen. I did it because well, basically I haven't drawn anything for a while and I was bored, and it was a choice between doing this or baking cupcakes (I did both in the end).

Now go read and buy it!

Super Late Valentine's Day

Oh man I totally forgot to post this one here. It's a tad late but hey at least it exists! FYI this one wasn't about me, I actually wasn't that ragey this V Day (I know, right?), it was mostly about all the other single girls who were filling up my Facebook timeline with anger.

Roller derby is going greeeeeat, I can go pretty fast and I love falling over, but after reading all the things we need to do to pass our minimum skills test I am kind of scared. Leaping over things?! I bought some proper derby skates too! But they haven't arrived yet, which sucks, so I'm still on my lame disco skates for one more week. I also need to buy new laces, new toe guards, new toe stops and new wheels (I'm going for a pink and black theme) but they can wait until the new skates get here I guess! Super excited.

I also went to an InMe gig last night, I haven't seen them live for about 6-7 years and man I just fell in love with them all over again. I was pretty brave and went al by myself but apart from looking like a loser in between support bands it was actually okay. I managed to get a spot right at the front for InMe, so Dave was practically sweating on me, and my back is probably bruised from all the shoving I took, but yeah it was amaaaazing.

Facebook Cover Take Two

I wanted to update my Facebook cover photo drawing as my hair isn't really like that anymore (even though I haven't even updated my default profile photo), and I had grown bored of the original one. I racked my brains for AGES trying to think of something witty to splash across my page but me being the queen of imagination that I am couldn't think of anything.

Started doing this one:

Then gave up because I'd already done the "favourite things" theme and didn't really want to go there again.

During this time I also discovered that the other end of my tablet pen is actually an eraser! Like a real pencil! Like, if you turn it upside down and use it on the tablet it automatically turns into the eraser tool! Magic.

Anyway, I was running out of time and One Born Any Minute is on soon and in the end I came up with a kind of placeholder if you will.. Although it'll probably be there for a while knowing me. Until I can think of something better.

My faaaace, all over your screeeeen. I doubt anyone actually clicks onto my actual wall anyway, so I've gone through all this trouble for no-one to look at it. But for now I'm off to watch babies being born. I can come back to this tomorrow.

X5-452 reporting for duty

Only 6 days to gooooo. This obsession is taking over my life and I haven't even been to a session yet. But behold my derby name and number! Pretty sure I'm going to stick with these, especially the number. And yes I took it from the amazing (but short-lived) sci-fi series Dark Angel. X5s were a breed of genetically-enhanced supersoldiers, who kicked ass and were generally pretty badass. One of them was Jensen Ackles! If I could I'd probably have Max's number, but X5-452 is probably a bit long to have on the back of a t-shirt.

Plus Smashtronaut is just plain awesome. Space AND smashing stuff! MINE.

Roller Derby

Listening to Sleigh Bells, drawing about roller derby. As you do.

So flippin' EXCITED.

Oh, Sherlock

Super-fast, uncoloured fanart. I should do more of this, drawing people that already exist is easy, it's just thinking of funny words that stumps me.

I really want an awesome puntastic roller derby name, and I cannot think of one for the life of me. It needs to be funny AND mean AND cool. I kinda want Scarbuck like the awesome Starbuck from Battlestar Galactica, but there's already a ScarbuckS registered and I don't want to get into trouble for having a name too similar to another one :( Oh well, I have loads of time to think of one, there's no big rush.

One Sock and a Lot of Junk

The lovely and awesome Julia posted a drawing of the contents of her bag on Tumblr the other day, and I liked the idea so much that I had to steal it. Mostly because my bag is filled with a lot of stuff and it'd be fun to draw. I couldn't decide if I liked it better in colour or not though.. Thoughts?

(The sock is usually for keeping my iPod in, but it had fallen out when I drew this. Yes I keep my iPod in a sock. Yes it's an old old Nano.)

In other non-drawing related news, I fucking love Roller Derby!  I have a full kit now and am well excited for my first session with the Dorset Roller Girls at the beginning of February. I am going to properly DO THIS and FOLLOW IT THROUGH for once in my life, and probably get really hurt in the process.

ROLLERSKATING YEAH!
