Picture Sunday || March {2}

I am so tired. 

I'm tired of working. I'm tired of being tired. 

At least I'm not sick anymore! There's that. 

It's been exactly a year since I left to visit Gina and Dan and that blew my mind. 

Anyone else having zero motivation to do stuff? 

I have zero motivation to do stuff. 

When people ask me what I'm up to, I basically turn into Rick Grimes:

Yup. 

Anyway, this week in art, we have random stuff, colored stuff, and... thiiings. (Ehehe, Walking Dead fans, see what I did there? SEE IT?)

1.) We have the purple haired girl with a... shawl? I don't even know, but it's drapey.

 

2.) I call this one "Too Fabulous."

3.) This birthday card I did for a friend of the family. It says happy birthday in Gallifreyan letters, for all you Doctor Who nerds. That also happens to be one of my favorite Doctor Who quotes. It's awesome. 

I'm not altogether too happy with the way the TARDIS looks... it's a bit off. 

4.) This one I copied from a picture earlier today cause a freaking adorable kid in a giant sweater is too cute not to draw. Kinda frustrated with it. (Kinda frustrated with most my art this week. :)

5.) This one I did of Gina and Dan. The reference picture is from when they were still dating and not even engaged yet. He was teaching her to dance. #actualOTP

6.) This psalm that was the Introit for Mass a few weeks ago...

7.) The Walking Dead inspired one that I intend to color next week. 

8.) Genesis, chapter one, has this verse that says, 

"And God made two great lights: a greater light to rule the day,

 and a lesser light to rule the night: and the stars."

And I dunno, I've always thought that if the sun and the moon were people, the sun would be a man, and the moon would be a woman, and rereading that bit made me want to draw. So I drew it. I want to do a companion piece of the sun. We'll see. 

Her skirt should have had more movement... so that's irritating. Maybe I'll redo at some point. :)

I'm currently in a bit of an art slump, so that's a sad story. My life's been a little tumultuous lately, and I think that's affecting it some. Bear with me, guys. I shall power through and get back to blogging. I intended to blog more at the new year, not less. 

*Irritated Treskie noises*

Oh well. It will be okay.

Question Time!

Best overall? 

Favorite colored?
Best black and white?
Most interesting?  

I know most of you had requests last week, and I will try to get to them soon! I SHALL TRY.

I love you all!

The Faire

So the Ren Faire was a success, I think. Oh you know, it was a little bit corny, and a little bit silly, but we had fun, so I still say success.

We showed up in large groups, because there's a lot of us, and almost everyone in the family came, including a few friends, so.... lots of girls, man.

I didn't take very many pictures because I know my cellphone camera leaves a lot to be desired, quality-wise. (I was also really busy and forgot rather frequently.)

I was a pirate, because because pirates costumes are easy to throw together. Amy put this scarf in my hair last minute and I think it completed my look. BOOM TISS.

I should have stood with my left side to the camera. You could have seen my epic sash better.

So we meandered around and looked at the little shops that were set up.... we tried on hats:

And masks:

At one point Queen Elizabeth I and her court came regally by. But, since we like Mary Queen of Scots, and since Elizabeth totally stole the crown from her, we declined to bow. We're rebellious that way.

We played with swords.

We found the Doctor. 

He was extremely nice and let lots of people pose with him. (Even though he was probably busy saving the world from the robots of Sherwood or something.)

This really nice glassblower blew a tiny wineglass for us, because we asked. Trina bought it because it was adorable and tiny. I purchased a bud vase, and it makes me very happy.

There was jousting, which was fun. But the announcer was annoying, so it dampened the fun somewhat.

We took shameless selfies. 

And bought freshly squeezed lemonade, because it was hot and we were thirsty. 

We don't know what scared Cinta, but she is alarmed.

We listened to a bard tell a story about how Jack O'Lanterns came to be. He's quite a good story teller, and he inserted some Firefly references which I snortled over.

We found the Doctor's TARDIS, and since you couldn't get much cooler than that, we decided to call it a day!

It was really nice, and I'm pretty sure I got a mild case of sunstroke, but whatever. Overall, much enjoyment was had by all.

Mkay, I must go, I have things to do and probably stress over.

Treskie out.

Geek power baby, stay strong.

Guys. It's Geek Pride Day.

Treskie out.
