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.

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!
