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!

Facebook Cover

So Facebook has this new timeline thing for your profile page, and it comes with a big header image at the top (why it's called "cover" image I don't know..) and it seemed like the perfect place for a drawing!

I spent ages doing this but now I don't really like how it looks on the actual page so I'll probably end up making another one.. When I'm not working or playing Skyrim.

Fucking Skyrim. I curse whoever created addictive RPGs! (I do love it though omg.)

Skyrim

Seriously I don't want to even try and count how many hours I played this today. I was in my pyjamas until about 2pm. And I'm still only level 15 or something! I've taken the sneaky sniper route like Dan, because that seemed like the least dangerous - less chance of me getting hit = less chance of me flailing and panicking. But ohhh my god I live forever in fear of stumbling across something huge that will kick my tiny blond Nord ass, so I'm almost always crouching and sneaking, even though I move like ten times slower.

Gaah I'm anxious just thinking about it!

Vikings!

My friend Marc wanted me to draw him as a viking, but I can draw myself better so...

This is possibly what I will be like when I get Skyrim - slaying dragons all over the show. And talking all olde Englishe, with many a "thee" and "forsooth".
