Roller Derby, Drawing and Me

Holy crap, well apparently I've just missed out the whole of September and most of October... In my defence I did move house and didn't have the Internet until halfway through September, so I have a few bits and bobs to post here.

First to be eternally depressing - this was the first thing I drew after not drawing anything for weeks:

I'm just so chipper.

Then I realised I have no idea how the human body is shaped so I practiced drawing from a photo of a model (I need to do this more often):

That dress was awesome, FYI.

And then we come back to the roller derby stuff, this next one was something I did REALLY quickly for my friend who disturbed me while I was doing my Top Secret DRG logo project one night. She loves Arnie.

And finally, the big finish. I spent forever doing this.. My roller derby team doesn't really have a logo to speak of at the moment, and I felt like we should, so being someone that could draw I decided to take this matter into my own hands without telling anyone and just hope that everyone liked the surprise! It went down really well, and the response has been awesome so far, I'm still not sure if they're going to use it for anything, but it was nice to know that everyone was as happy with it as I was. I'm planning to do a full colour version one day, which shading and stuff, but for now I made a 3 colour one which is easier for printing (if we do decided to print it on stuff). Also, DRAGONS WITH ROLLERSKATES ON.

Tada!

We have our FIRST EVER bout tomorrow in Plymouth and it's going to be rad. I'm not playing but I sure have made some kickass supporting posters!

Vote for me!

Hey remember that Roller Derby Hulk drawing I did? Well now voting is open for it and if I win my whole roller derby team gets free t-shirts! Which is ace!

Just go HERE and 'like' the image and I'd be eternally in your debt and stuff.

Hulk Smash

I drew this for a roller derby t-shirt competition. The theme was "roller girls are superheroes", I think I'm probably pushing the boundaries with using the Hulk, but he's KIND OF a superhero. I guess? The prize is 25 t-shirts for your team plus this design being on sale at their shop which would be RAD.

We were only allowed to use up to 3 colours, and I wasn't sure if the background white counted as a colour otherwise her hair would definitely be purple.

Still not really happy with the text, I may redo it (I haven't sent it in to the comp yet), also not sure how well this will translate to a t-shirt printed design, as they use silk screen printers and I think my colouring-in isn't solid enough, or my lines aren't nice enough or blahhhhh.

But it would be so cool to have something I drew on a t-shirt! Fingers crossed.

(OMG also, Hulk Smash. I am Smash. Oh I just kill myself)

"It’s Biles. Call me Biles or I swear to God I’ll kill you."

So. I watched the first season of Teen Wolf last year, and them promptly forgot about it. The second season just started on TV over here a couple of weeks ago, so I sat down and watched those, and then I was gone.

I proceeded to watch the remainder of the season in like 2 days (via the magic of the Internet) and Jesus H Christ I am addicted. Stiles is still my favourite character, he gets the best lines and there are rumours that he might be MAGIC in some way and I would LOVE that.

So yeah, I totally fangirled out and had to (attempt to) draw him. Drawing boys is hard. Okay I've drawn Squall before, but he's a pretty girly boy tbh, and Stiles has a buzzcut haircut and that's SUPER hard to do. I still don't think I've captured the essence of who he is, but yeah it was my first attempt so cut me some slack.

Although, I have to say I do not understand all the Sterek (Stiles/Derek) shipping that's all over Tumblr right now. Stiles/Erica, come onnnnn!

It's a fucking zombie.

No reason for this other than I wanted to draw zombies.

Spiralling.

I don't know what the above is about. Experimenting with big dark spaces, I think.

Bring me the bore worms...

So yesterday was Silus's birthday. I'd already given him a present (a book about the Universe) and made him a cake (blueberry cheesecake), and for some reason decided to draw him a picture which was probably really overboard but NEVERMIND. It's a bore worm from Flash Gordon. Now, nobody actually knows what bore worms look like, only that Princess Aura is very scared of them so they must be baaad. So this one is scaly and spiky, with horns and a slime trail. And a balloon for birthday fun. Happy birthday Silus!
