Random thoughts

Starfury Ultimates is fast approaching and as always, I've left it to the last minute to produce artwork for signing (hopefully). It's now going to be bittersweet meeting Hayley as the asswipes cancelled Agent Carter, which I loved. Don't hold out much hope it will continue somewhere else, a shame as there were wonderful characters in the show - Peggy being the best of the lot.

Anyhoo here's the Agent Carter cast I've done so far. Hayley as Peggy & Enver as Daniel.    If I get time I will try and do a simple sketch of Bridget Reagan as 'Dottie'. That's if Iain de Caestecker plays ball - Fitz is proving a little elusive to capture.

I did this one last Autumn for the Hallowhedon 3 Convention.


A bit bigger here 

Talking of conventions - I've only got the one booked so far this year.  I'm going to Invasion 2 because *crosses fingers* Eliza will turn up for that one. There's a  fair few BSG/Caprica other SciFi guests along with Morena Baccarin and Felicia Day but it's not really heavy on the whedonverse front. 

The 3rd Vampire Ball has a repeat of last years True Blood guests (ok but I've met them already) and now James Marsters & Juliet Landau. Whilst I love James & Juliet I'm not sure I really want to go yet. So holding off booking that.  The only guest I want to meet for Hallowhedon 4 is Kristine Sutherland - their guests have been thin on the ground so IDK and I really don't like the way they run their cons - overstretched I think.   I've met Sean Maher a few times and Nick Brendon at least four times now, so unless they come up with a rare guest then I'll probably skip that one too.   

Fruit Punch anyone?

Ok so this was for the Vampire Ball signing. Mark was very sweet about the sketch - I thought I'd post this to get everyone in the mood for Halloween which is fast aproaching. 



I've just started on a new Cordelia 'You're Welcome' sketch for next weeks Convention Hallowhedon 3,  where Charisma is scheduled to appear.   I've have a trio montage featuring  Adam Busch - Warren from 6 years ago awaitng the completion of the  signatures, and as I've already have a couple of Amber Benson and Sean Maher signed art pieces,  it's the watcher's guides for them.  Unless I change my mind and suddenly have lots of time to kill before then (unlikely).

Quite pleased with the way this one has turned out.  As usual bigger image can be seen by clicking the thumbnail.



Onto to Tahmoh now.  If time permits I'd like to do Enver/Victor too - here's hoping there will be some surprise guests...

I've booked three Conventions this year (!!) and the first one is Echo- 1 (Dollhouse)  in May.  We have Dichen, Miracle Laurie, Fran Kranz and Tahmoh Penikett confirmed so I thought I'd better pull my finger out and start sketching. I'm crossing everything in the vain hope that we'll have a surprise guest in the shape of Enver/Olivia/Harry (or even Eliza?)    oh, anyone on the cast really.    It's likely I'll do a montage of 'dolls' and 'rossum employees' to cover all eventualities.





Bigger image linked here .  Comments welcome.

So a while back I had a tinker with some photoshop manips.  Nothing ' dangly'  or NSFW because I'm not that proficient ;) -  this was initially due to a contest prompt at still_grrr  and then I was reminded  recently when lovely rua1412  updated her layout with some fine art.    So I went and dug out some paintings by Artists of which I am particularly fond and here we are!   The whedonverse meets the art world.

A little taster  'Echo' (or Faith if you prefer) as Isabella and the Pot of Basil (Holman-Hunt)  I was very fortunate to attend the massive Pre-Raphaelite Exhibition (twice) at the Tate back in '84 and saw this amongst others and can say that it certainly left an impression.  Click the thumb to see full size.



More under the cut ( this way.... )

I've not been sitting on my hands honest!  

So a couple of more things I wanted to achieve are finished and / or well underway.  Yay go me \o/

Firstly - The Best of the Best Round (the return) is now open at the Art of Vidding Awards.   We've some wildcard entries too. Please feel free to check out the list of incredibly awesome vids and pick up a code to pimp it.   Next job is to put together the polls for the ' Viewers Choice' voting.

 

If I've not uploaded your links correctly, or you have questions etc contact me.  I'll give everyone notice when polls open.  If we get the level of votes that we had in the first BOTB then I shall be truly pleased.  After this things will change (for the better IMO) over at Art of Vidding Awards.

Secondly,  it's been a little while since I posted some new art. This was for the winter_of_angel  comm - my day for posting  today.  Yes, another sketch of my 'dear boy'. What can I say, he's pretty.    Click the thumbnail.    I have a Dollhouse/Dr Horrible convention in April - not so far away - I guess I'll be starting on some group montage for those very soon.



What I still have to do is watch some vids from my flist - leviathan101   I think after next weeks Bones here in Blighty  I'll be able to watch your latest - I'm really looking forward to it!   Also frivolity65  you posted some too.  I will get there.    I also need to go back to the vid I was a 3rd of a way through - hoping  I can find the flow and get stuck in quickly. I have some other ideas that I'd like to start, but I hate half finished projects. 

Hey, so here's the piece that I asked Mercedes to sign the other day.




I think now is a good time to mention that the Sweet Charity Auction is still underway.  I'm currently very cheap :) 

I will do RL subjects along with fandoms other than whedonverse, you know.
