Collectormania 11 - Preview Time & General Updatiness

[thedothatgirl]

Well hello LJ it's been a while that I have posted anything other than to pimp out AvA or new awards. 

I so wanted to do my top five Vid meme. I may still do it - like 3 months after everyone else.

Juggling with work and hobbies - so far I am still managing to get things done but in stages rather than getting stuck in.  Off to Milton Keynes this Saturday for Collectormania 11 - Some good whedonverse guests (not too many) like James Marsters, Tony Head, George Hertzberg and Charisma Carpenter!   Charisma is the final cast member of Angel I have yet to meet so cross everything that she doesn't cancel. I've booked photoshoots with Charisma, JM & TH so if they show I will get a chance to say hi!!  I will also try and get Charisma to sign this sketch. (The scanner blasts all the detail and colour from the original - Mustek scanner is  really  a piece of A3 sized crapola. I've tried to play with selective colour to return it to original state...)

Also taking tall man to take lots of photos for the site, and a small cheeky blonde girl to sweet talk even the most  miserable guests. .



Also Terry Jones from Monty P will be there and EB from Deadwood so I may check them out too. See if EB's palms are as sweaty as Al says :)

Next sketch will very likely be the Sweet Charity one for Talula (I haven't forgotten) - Artwork during daylight - vidding  at night.

 Have started a silly project using an 80's song. A tragic love triangle that requires comedic touch. If anyone knows how to do mask overlays in adobe prem  (I can't even find what they are called)  then a kick /nudge in the right direction is appreciated.

That is *wonderful* drawing of Charisma! I think that's one of my favorites. It might even be as good as your Ron Glass one.

Thanks Brad, glad you like. She has so much hair in the picture I chose, I kind of wimped and left some out.

You are such a talented soul. The picture is just gorgeous, Hun. *mwah* I hope she signs it for you. Bet she will in a heartbeat. She'll be so flattered atyour beautiful portrait of her. :D
Hope you have a fab time anyways at Collectormania. :)

I'm not very good at the keying/masking thing in APP, but I followed some tutorials Nicky mentioned. I can't find them or remeber the name of the person who made them - typical me :S sorry - not much help :(

But, I do have APP books, I can scan in the pages for you if you like. :)

Thanks Friv, I have yet to have anyone refuse to sign (too embarrassed most probably and I sometimes have small child on hand to really guilt trip them) one day someone is going to ask who the sketch is supposed to be ;)

I have the adobe prem for idiots guide too - ought to check it out really. Just being lazy.

I'll shout over at Reverie if I come up blank. Might have been an LJ Vidding group link. Like I say lazy moo.

Babes, if anyone ever does the asking who the sketch is supposed to be, then they must have a very warped self-image. Your portraits are gorgeous and very accurate.

LOL@ lazy - I thought I was 'quenn of lazy'*
*hands overthe crown* :P

Yeah, shout up on Reverie. :D




*quenn instead of queen stuck because I was too lazy to correct the spelling mistake

ooooooooo stunning! looks just like her :D

i cant wait to hear all about her :) i love cordelia and therefore charisma hah

I'll report back Jessie. I hear she is not really too keen on 'grappling' with the fans (I reckon some find the more intense ones a little off putting) Whereas some just love the attention.

It'll be just nice to see what she is like in the flesh so to speak.
