Picture Saturday || March {1}

Hey, it's only been two weeks this time!

Treskie is very proud. 

Not a whole lot this week, but man, it's blasting with color, so that's pretty awesome!

Can you believe it's already Lent? *Shakes head in disbelief* I remember being little and thinking how long it took for a whole year to go by. And now? (Now, that I'm soo old..) I feel like I just got back from Montana, but that will have been a year ago at the end of this month. 

Time is passing like crazy, and I'm falling behind trying to keep up. Uuuugh. 

Why yes, it's been a rough week, why do you ask?

Anyway!

PREPARE!

For the most AVERAGE ART, 

You will EVER SEE.

*Cue thunderous applause*

1.) I don't draw blonde hair very often, so here you go. (Do you see the sparkles on her dress? DO YOU?)

2.) This is the one I drew when I was sad and feeling vaguely betrayed. Can you tell? The grey background is a bit much, isn't it...

3.) This horrific one that I'm like... "I HAD SUCH GLORIOUS VISIONS FOR YOU, WHAT WENT WRONG?!" *Scowling Treskie noises*

4.) This sketch that I liked much better in my mind than on paper. 

5.) Look at this cute Steampunk girl inspired by this picture. (Because my favorite person sent it to me as an inspiration and I went, "OoooOOOOooooh.")

6.) Also this sassy gun-totin' girl, who's totally awesome even though I drew her super late and didn't actually care.

7.) Wherein Treskie discovered the universe...

8.) And then proceeded to go nuts...

Haha, so there you go! I suspect universes are going to be a big thing for me for a while, which is good I guess. It's really fun blending all the colors together.

Question Time!

Favorite overall?

Best black and white? (or with black and white bits..?)

Favorite colored?

Anything you'd like to see drawn next Picture Saturday?

Got any good music recommendations?

I love you all, and God bless!

Picture Saturday-- Not one Phantom picture!

I'm unaccustomed to having plans on Saturdays. Normally, Saturdays are my day to take a breath and relax. But the past few weeks, my Saturdays have been taken up with socializing and plans, and when that happened, it's very hard for me to work Picture Saturday in.

I just don't know how to juggle being social and blogging!

Ahem.

That's why Picture Saturday has been on Sunday the last few weeks, and that is my apology.


Right so, you should all rejoice and have great happiness, because this week....I didn't draw Phantom once.

BUT OH, speaking of Phantom, since Bella extended her Musicals Blog Party to the seventh, I'm going to be posting about that a few times during this week, starting with my thoughts on the POTO musical... (AKA Raoul defense post) probably either Monday evening or Tuesday.


Shall we get started now?


1.) Here, have the guy that I drew as a warm-up. He is cute and I think he's probably a history teacher or something.

2.) Sometimes Tristan gets mad at people, and sometimes he gets mad at Kate, and sometimes she calls him a jerk.

3.) And sometimes when she's happy she calls him a jerk because it's cute and that's how I like it.

4.) Incidentally, meet Kate's brother, his name is Tyler, and he's a dork.

5.) Tyler is mostly a happy-go-lucky sort of person, except for when he gets angry and then he's gets really quiet and really cold, and maybe he might tell Tristan to get his ego under control.

6.) Also, I figured out which of Tristan's friends I'm going to kill!!

7.) When they need backup, Kate goes with them on the sabotaging missions.

8.) Sometimes Max needs alone time lol.

9.) I'M REALLY MAD, BECAUSE I WAS DRAWING, AND THE INK LEAKED ON TO THE PAGE BEHIND IT AND RUINED IT.

10.) Tyler is the cutest big brother.

11.) There was an agonizingly slow day at work, and so I worked on this off and on with a ball-point pen.

12.) Yesterday, I felt like drawing a witch, so I started on a witch, hunting for a broom.

13.) And then I thought... what if it was a steampunk witch, with a mechanical broom??? I need to color her in and that will be epic.

14.) Sometimes I read too many WWII love stories and get all feelsy.

Yeah.... photo dumps....

I'm super distracted right now, so I'm going to head off and visit with the family.

Favorite black and white?

Favorite colored? 

Over all best drawing?     

Which friend do you think I'm going to kill?

Cheers, guys! Love ya 

Picture Saturday-- Ahem.

Picture Saturday has not reared it's ugly head in a good.... what, three weeks?

I am ashamed.

But I had to go to a wedding, and then it was Mother's Day week, and I was really very busy.

Anyway, there is rather a lot of Phantom stuff again.

My friend asked me how our musical high was going.

I told her it's still going strong.
 

The minion represents me, and the banana represents the
Phantom of the Opera, and other musicals I'm obsessed with.

We listened to POTO again last night, and I've lost count of how many times that is in a month.....

Yeah, when we decide to obsess, we obsess.

I really want to listen to the Scarlet Pimpernel musical again, but that is only at the college library, and for some reason the college library freaks me out. ME! I love libraries! But the college one has this atmosphere like, "IF YOU MAKE A NOISE WE WILL DEMOLISH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. DON'T BLINK, DON'T EVEN BLINK. BLINK AND YOU'RE DEAD." and as such I still haven't worked up the courage to go in and find the stupid CD.

(Speaking of musicals, I might need to do a post comparing and contrasting the original Newsies movie and the Newsies Broadway musical, because.... because reasons.)

RIGHT! So, shall we get this thing going?

1.) Here, we have the colored versions of the Steampunk girls I drew last time.

 2.) A couple of my sisters informed me that this one is the Steampunk version of Jack, and after some dubious eyeballing of this picture, I have come to agree. So here, Steampunk Jack for you.

3.) The lady inventor, because she's funny and I like her, and I think I've named her Veronica. 

4.) This one is basically me when I get up in the morning. Expression and all.

Yes, I turn into Gollum, got a problem with that?

5.) Amy told me that if I want to illustrate kids books, I should maybe start drawing kids. She had a point, so I drew horribly disproportionate children, and they're adorable.

6.) I did not really like how disproportionate they were, so sad-little-crying-girl came next.  ( Again, I don't know why there are weird splotches, but oh well.)

7.) Random dancing girl with fabulous hair.

8.) DAREDEVIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Because blind Catholic superheroes are the BEST. OHMYGOODNESS.

No, I didn't mess up when I wrote 'purpose' in pen, why would you think that?

9.) Bad, bad sketches. I don't know why I only had blue and pink colored pencils with me, but the girl looks slightly maniacal, and something went horribly wrong with that ballerina.

10.) Sometimes I can't draw.

11.) And then we have another gigantic batch of Phantom fanart because I have no life. (But I do love my musicals.)

I tried a new angle for Think of Me, and I firmly believe that it will look less weird when I color it in.

11.) One of the times I listened to it, I realized that Christine's last word in the musical is 'morning', and the Phantom's last word is 'night.' And for some reason that contrast made me really sad. So....

12.) This one I'm working on right now. When it's done the Erik and Raoul will be standing on stairs, and it will be colored and I plan on making it fabulous....

If you can tell me the lyrics to this part, I will give you cyber brownies. 

13. And finally.... (you guys are probably SO happy...) We have that part where he leads her through the mirror and they do that song with the note that I can't hit.*

*cries all the tears*

And with that, I think I'm going to bid you all a very fond farewell, try to maybe catch up on Supernatural so I can watch the really painful finale when it airs, and pray that the sun comes out, because it's been gray for over a week now, and I'd really like some bright days now, please and thank you.

Which picture is your favorite?
Who do you ship Christine with? (Bearing in mind that I'm planning on doing a post defending my ship sometime soon.)
Do you listen to musicals?
Do you like Steampunk? 

I love you all!

Treskie out.

PIcture Saturday -- In which I listen to musicals.

A lot.

Like, we have listened or watched a musical almost every single day for the past two weeks.

Sometimes we just re-listened to Phantom of the Opera, and Jekyll and Hyde. (I think in the last week, we've listened to PoTO like five times, and it's been awesome.) Other times, it was Jane Eyre or Oklahoma, or Pirates of Penzance, and HMS Pinafore.

Tonight we listened to Tale of Two Cities. (James Barbour as Sidney Carton makes me feel things.)

Tomorrow we're going to do The Secret Garden.

We might possibly listen to Phantom again after that.

We really love musicals.


So this week's Picture Saturday is mostly fanart for Phantom. Because I am a Phangirl. (I can't remember a time when I haven't known the musical, so I think it's the best one. I love the music, I love the story, I love the characters. It's the bomb diggety.)


1.) So, Christine. Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again is one of my all time favorite Broadway songs. Such the best.

2.) Christine is adorable.

I don't know why there are weird splotches. Is weird.

3.) PHANTOM OF THE OPERA LYRICS ARE THE COOLEST, GUYS. The coolest. 

 

4.) My sister's brother was being a brat.... but he gave me this really cool idea.

Princess Assassins.

5.) NINJAAAAAAAAAAA TRAINING. With tiaras and everything. Skillz.

5.) Musicals are a big thing in my life right now. Will and Ada Annie from Oklahoma.

6.) Hannah requested more Steampunk stuff. So I obliged. She further requested jet packs.

I'm very obliging.

I meant to color these in, but I did not, so next week, you'll get the color versions of them.

7.) Jetpaaaaaaaaaacks.

8.) BECAUSE JOSH GROBAN SANG ALL I ASK OF YOU, AND I MELTED. If he ever played Raoul on stage, I might actually flip out.

9.) There aren't a lot of women inventors in Steampunk so this lady is coming up with an Iron Man like hand.

10.) Yeah, I'm not obsessed with the PoTO at all...

10.) Not. 

At. 

All.

 I really love Raoul and Christine's relationship, they're sweet. And I love how he's the exact opposite of the Phantom, and how protective he is of Christine, it's adorable. *sigh*

 

I think I work best using mixed media. Copics and colored pencils work really well together, and I'm just having a lot of fun combining colors. *Happiness is real.*

So yes, that's it this week...

I see I'm almost to 100 followers. SQUEEEEEE! THANK YOU, THANK YOU FOR FOLLOWING ME!!! It makes me so happy when you do that. Hello.

When I get to 100 I would like to do a giveaway, but I'm not sure what to give... away. Would you guys be interested if for the prize you could ask for any picture and I'd do it for you? Or you could request a print of one I've done.... Or something like that.

Spread the word though, 100 followers means giveaway!! 

Also, I have a tumblr now. Because people's art seems to get noticed a lot on tumblr, and I want to get my art out there, so. Here is the linky: Mah tumblr. It's weird, and I'm not sure if I like it, but hey, if you have one, give me a follow!


Treskie out.
