Writing?!
Writing you say?
When I were younger I actually wrote a fair bit, most of it was nonsensical (and often angsty) poetry but I did start on a few original stories and I even started writing a Star Wars fan fic. I never did finish more than one very short story back then though. But today my itch for writing was poked back into life when I found this little piece in the Mass Effect LiveJournal community:
I don't think it's any secret that I've always liked strong female characters that kick ass. So, what better way to dust off my rusty old writing habits then a tribute to a strong female saving the day?
So far I haven't decided whether to go for a short fan faction piece or an original one. If I do go for fan fiction I would likely end up with either something Mass Effect-y or Doctor Who. Generally because those are the fandoms that I'm still fangirling about. That, or I explore my One Winged Angel's background a bit closer.
Either way, it's back to writing and my fingers are actually itching for it again.
Let’s Play!
After following Toegoff's brilliant LP adventures for quite a while and seeing my friend David starting his own LP channel I finally decided to jump onto the Let's Play bandwagon!
So far I'm enjoying it, even with technical troubles, some hair pulling to get Vegas to do my bidding with editing and my own shyness standing in the way. =)
I decided to go for Starcraft II as my first Let's Play seeing as I just got it and most of the other games I have on hand are already finished or I've gotten halfway through them thus elmininating them as LP material. So, go check out my Let's Play Starcraft II on Youtube! =D
I do plan on doing LPs of The Secret of Monkey Island (the special edition), Jade Empire and possibly Prince of Persia the Two Thrones at some point. So I have tons of things to do eventually.
At the moment though I've had to put my LPing on the backburner while I finish two commissioned watercolor pieces. They both need to be finished by the start of next week as I will be heading back to Sweden next thursday and need to bring them with me. One is fairly straightforward for me as it has mostly familiar elements and I already have ideas for it, but this first one is tricky. See, I've been commissioned to draw a Warhammer 40K Space Marine Battle Barge. And me having a loose (at best) grip on perspective and generally never drawing anything that's not organic makes this task quite a whole lot bigger than it sounds. =o
I'm closing in on finishing the sketching now at least, but it's been taking a lot longer than I anticipated, even with me being unfamiliar with the subject. Either way, it's quite a learning experience!
So for now, back to sketching, no time to waste!
Brb, moving
Busy moving so no posting for a little while!
In the meantime, have a stress-relief sketch. No idea why I'm scribbling people in winter coats though.
Comic scribbling
I have always wanted to draw a comic but I never quite got to it for different reasons.
A couple of years ago I did try to start a sort of diary comic strip after having read The Devil's Panties and Planet Karen for quite a while. Needless to say, nothing came out of it, but I still have a few scribbles of my failed tries at comics. For some reasons it seems I never posted them anywhere either, so here you go! Old scribblings FTW!
Finished! (?)
So, I think I've finally finished my bigass A3 sized painting of my One Winged Angel.
I just need to somehow flatten the darn thing (serves me right for simply using thicker sketchbook paper instead of a "proper" surface), get it framed and get a better photo of it. Unless I decide I have to change something, of course. Knowing me that might just happen. D=
