Picture Saturday: Fanart takeover.

"It's raining," Treskie remarks. "It's raining like there's no friggen tomorrow. It's torrential."

Le sigh.

I like rain. I prefer rain over merely gray days. But sometimes rain makes me feel melancholy.

*Feels melancholy*

WHATEVER.

RAVEN BOYS. 

I'm freaking out, because I have a feeling book two is going to end sad, and I'm afraid to finish.

Basically I love Ronan. Also Gansey. So I spent the majority of this week fan-arting about the Raven Boys.

Therefore, we are going to start out with Noah. Because Noah is a dear.



And then we have Adam, who is mostly a dear, but also a little stupid.


And then we have Ronan, whom I adore against my better judgment. He is sad. And bratty. And Irish. And I love him.



And then... for some reason, I can't draw Gansey. Gansey's special, and I love him as much as I love Ronan. But Gansey's special for some reason, and I need to get him right, and I can't. So we have like a bajillian rough drafts of his face, which ended up with me going, "What the freak, why can't I draw Ganseyface?"

 Boom. First try.

Boom. The second try. 
And this is when I started labeling them. 
As Not Gansey. 

Boom. The third try. 

And the fourth try. 

.... The fifth try. 

TRY NUMBER SIX.
Which is probably one of my favorites, but still not Gansey.  

And then we have the one that I think was the best... 
Mostly because I did it in like ten minutes before we started Grimm, when I'd given up on getting him right. 

After miserably failing with Gansey, I did Blue.


And then I did a cartoon of Blue and Gansey, because... ehem. I ship it. Gansey randomly decides to rename Blue. So he renames her Jane. And it's so cute and weird. Gah. I dunno. (ignore her freaky pointer finger.)


And lastly (for the moment) we have the group shot of Blue's Boys. Because I LOVE it when she refers to them as her boys.



Moving on, we have the batter that I did when I was on the phone with mah sister. (hence the weird hands.)


And then we have the fanart for one of Jack's Haphazard books.


I did a few rough drafts for that, which I discarded in disgust.

And lastly, I have a real ninja, because apparently someone *coughJesscough* didn't think my ninja assassin last week qualified as a ninja. So here. Are you happy now? 

 

I'm thinking there might possibly be a vlog coming up soon.

Which one is your favorite?
Have you read Raven Boys?
Do you love Raven Boys!

I finally got around to drawing my new signature. What do you think?

Cheers!

  1. Love the signature and the new header!! As well as those little notes you make on your pictures (e.g. "Almost" "Nope"). It's kind of what I do with my writing sometimes...

    1. Yay! Thanks! :) Hehehe. Sometimes I get downright rude to my pictures. lol. I think writing notes next to stuff is one of those things all artists do. :)

    1. I KNOW RAVEN BOYS IS FABULOUS. Except this is a load of swearing in them. Like... a lot of swearing. F Bombs and le S word and... all manner of other words in between. I'd rate them PG13. Don't say I didn't warn you. XD

      HAVE YOU READ JACK'S BOOK????

      Hahahaha. I'm glad she approves. I love being fabulous.

      NINJAS ARE COOOOOL.

      *high fives* I feel proud now. Eeeee! The siggy makes me happy.

      I KNOW I like doing vlogs, but they're funnier with my sister, so I need to wait for a day that we're off together.

    1. Squeeeee!!!!! XD I'M GLAD YOU'VE READ THEM AND YOU LIKE IT!!!!

      Gansey is adorable and just really needs a hug. Ronan is someone I feel like I ought to not like, but he's such a good character I cannot help myself. XD
      I'm so happy that you like the pictures, since you've read the books. It makes. My. Day.

      Cheers!

  4. YES YES YES RAVEN BOYS aaahhh I love them! I LOVE THEM. Mm my favourite in the first book was probably Adam but he gets pretty annoying in The Dream Thieves you know what I mean. THE FEELS THOUGH.

    The only rub was, Blue was another troubling thing. She was like Gansey in that she wanted him to explain himself. What do you want, Adam? What do you need, Adam? Want and need were words that got eaten smaller and smaller: freedom, autonomy, a perennial bank balance, a stainless-steel condo in a dustless city, a silky black car, to make out with Blue, eight hours of sleep, a mobile phone, a bed, to kiss Blue just once, a blister-less heel, bacon for breakfast, to hold Blue's hand, one hour of sleep, toilet paper, deodorant, a soda, a minute to close his eyes.
    What do you want, Adam?
    To feel awake when my eyes are open.

    I LOVE THIS QUOTE OH ADAM.

    Also Noah though :3 I love him and his smudgy face :') :')

    In other news, liking the new signature thing! :)

    1. ASLDKFJASLFKJSADF THEY ARE SO AWESOME!! I liked Adam so much in the first book! And then he went all weird, and that's annoying, because Gansey just wants to HELP because that's what friends DO and yeah. Adam is a turd. A sad turd, but a turd nonetheless. XD

      BUT SEE THAT QUOTE WAS SOOO GOOD I felt so bad for him! He just needs to be nice again. lol.

      Poor li'l Noah. I feel like he'soing to be really powerful in the next book and that scares me just a litle. XD

      YAY! Me too.

  5. Howdy!
    I've never read those books. But now I want to. Cause your pictures always make me so happy. Like. Always. Even if I don't know what they're referencing. They always make me smile and just...yeah. I love em. Don't ever stop posting them. Or I'll...I don't know what I'll do. Just be scared.

    Your ninja is epic. And so's your name at the bottom. I likes it. 8)

    That's all I can think of. So....Goodnight!!

    1. Heya!
      Ehehehehe. I like it when my pictures make people happy!!!! Just eeeeee! lalala. Ehem. I don't think I'll stop posting them, so I shan't be scared.
      Just remember, I'd probably rate the books PG13 for swearing alone.

      NINJAAAAAAAAAAAAa.

      ahaha. thanks. XD

      cheers!

  6. AHHHHHHHHHH! Jane. Love that so much. I SHIP THEM SO HARD. SO SO HARD. GANSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY!

    But, I have one thing to say. Idontreallylikeronan. Please, please, please don't kill me. But I don't really like Ronan. He swears too much. And he's kind of creepy. I mean, I love that he's Irish and everything cause that's cool. And it's cool that he can pull things out of his dreams, but he just kind of freaks me out. I don't know, maybe it's actually Declan that gives me the creeps. And it somehow carries over to Ronan. Or maybe it's Michael.
    Never mind, not Michael.
    I love all the boys together, but when you just have Ronan alone........he's not my favorite. I do like parts of him, just not all of him. But, back to Gansey. I love him so much. But I said that already. Ok I need to stop typing now. Or I'm going to start fangirling all over. Darn.

    1. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. ME TOO. THEY'RE CUTE, AND SHE'S GONNA KISS HIM AND HE'S GONNA DIE. I THINK *HE* MIGHT BE GLENDOWER BECAUSE OF THE WHOLE TIME THING. AND THAT'S WHY HE'S SO OBSESSED WITH FINDING HIM. I DON'T WANT HIM TO BE GLENDOWER.

      Ehem. I'm not gonna kill you. I'll send my ninja after you. Heheheh. no. It's okay that you don't like Ronan. It's not like you have to like him just because I do. lol. See.... Mmm. I don't find him all that creepy. I think he's in a bad place, but I think what happened in book 2 really got to him, and he's going to shape up. Why does Declan creep you out?? lol. (I will say that the part with Ronan in Kavinsky in the car made me uncomfortable. That was weird. I think Kavinsky was suuuuuper creepy.) ...... who's Michael? Ooooh, Matthew, you mean?

      GANSEY IS AWESOME AND SO clever and cute and he's actually really sad. *sniffle* Adam isn't nice to him. Adam is mean to him. Adam needs to be nice to Gansey. I LOVE GANSEY. lol.

      Ehem. lol. Cheeeers, Skye.

    2. ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRG. I DON'T WANT HIM TO DIE. GANSEY SHALL LIVE FOREVER. I DECLARE IT ONCE FOR NOW AND FOREVER MORE. GANSEY WILL NEVER DIE.

      Darn, yes I meant Matthew. I thought his name was Michael? Whoops. I don't know, Declan is more mean than creepy, so yeah. Kavinsky is a jerk. I can't stand him.

      Adam needs to be nicer all around. I really like him in the first book but now...not so much.

      Only 2 weeks till Blue Lily, Lily Blue!!!!!

    3. HE'S GONNA DIE AND I AM IN DENIAL.

      lol. Oh well. I knew who you were talking about. Matthew is a sweetie. :) Kavinsky scared me. I hope he's dead... is that bad?

      Adam... has a persecution complex. (Which is understandable since his dad beat him up, but still)

      I AM SO EXCITED.

      Cheers!

    4. KILL KAVINSKY. I hope he dies too. But don't kill anyone else. Ya hear that Stiefvater? DON'T KILL GANSEY!!!

      Poor Adam, I still love him but he's not being nice.... *pouts*

      Right now I am 8th in line to get it from my library when it comes out. Waiting, waiting.
