loobee

Well that is it, my poor computers coughed its last (Stealing mums laptop to post this) I turned it on yesterday for it to make some popping noises, then just not work at all. Been told my whole motherboard and processor have gone ;_; Poor Bodie (yes I named my computer :P), you’ve been with my 4 years, and lived thought my flogging you to death with Photoshop, I’ll miss you. Thank goodness I ordered a new one last week, just waiting on it to be built now ♥

I’m a bit depressed about everything going wrong though, so I’m going to post some art instead, and not bore you with my boring aggravating life, and to distract myself from moaning about my boring aggravating life XD




( Note to self: Stop abusing green and brown, there are other colours in the rainbow )
Sorry, to those I owe emails and comments to, and more. I am trying to convince my mum to lend me her laptop more often until my computer arrives. Possibly be here by next week, but that's too long a wait. So, hopefully should be back to comment, reply and stick to the commitments I have, especially to Frida and Mel X_X  Best shoot off, i'll be online again as soon as I can.

I’m trying to not do a woe is me I hate my art post (again) because i don't hate it, but recently I’ve been feeling I’m missing something in my art, maybe I need to be more adventurous with what I draw, poses and perspective. This will be my new plan of attack. In addition, I was told I do ‘same face’, which bothers me more than I care to admit. So, to try and kick myself out of this low art mood I finished colouring in some old Dragon age 2 and fantasy doodles I did when I was ill.

It worked, I feel happier XD

Preview: Because theres a lot of stuff and big pictures under this here cut. And ramble, oh christ do I ramble X_X



( Lots of fantasy blokes behind here..god I need to draw more ladies, not laddies X_X )
 
Though a new inception_bang  starts up in August, and I’m all signed to draw for xmenbigbang  Love, love working with writers ♥

So saw it the other night.... *SPOILERS*

And, thought it was brilliant. Like everyone I’m enamoured of Charles and Erik’s portrayals. Both James McAvoy and Micheal Fassbender excel as Charles and Erik respectively. The first making Charles a cheery good hearted man (prone to a bit of partying) put into a position where he has to learn to lead and show the way whilst Fassbender's Erik is a bristling presence of anger, power and determination. There was such trust and tenderness flowing between the two of them, their friendship was so effective that you really do feel bad for both of them when they part ways.

In fact, Erik's distrust of humanity is served well and it's almost his film in this respect as he struggles to be the man Charles believes he can be, before being the man (villain of the piece) Sebastian Shaw has made him. A line of his late in the film is particularly telling "I've been at the mercy of good men under orders before. Never again".

Like the other X films there were maybe too many characters. I would have loved for the First Class to have more character development time, it was a bit disappointing we didn't get to know them as well as we should. Esspecially as characters like Havok and Banshee are quiet the old timers of the comics compared to Angel and Darwin.

On the other hand, I'm glad that Mystique and Hank got quite a bit of screentime. It's their relationship and interactions with the lead pair that helps illustrate how people end up on either side of the equation. Just realised that Beast was played by Skins' Nicholas Hoult, no wonder I kept thinking I recognised him, doh!

I think the main failures, if I have to think of failures, were the villains - Emma Frost was damp and poorly acted, she lacked The White Queens of the comics biting wit and sarcasm, while Kevin Bacon just didn't pop for the big bad and made a very unconvincing Shaw. It just felt to me he was playing Kevin Bacon. Most of the baddies were just relegated to henchman, but then so were Sabretooth, Toad and Juggernaut, so it again doesn't bother me too much.

I’m not sure you can call it a true prequel to the other X films, because of some continuity gafs. Beast building Cerebro, when Charles said Erik helped him build it in X1 And Charles being seen to walk when they talk to Jean Greys parents. Speaking of which, I was surprised that that was included so early in this film. I was convinced that the filmmakers would save that, and Charles being confined to his wheelchair, for a future installments. I really thought Magneto would relent at the last moment and send the missiles out to sea where they couldn't do any damage. But it was such a lovingly realised film, from the wonderful 60’s vibe, to the bromance itself ♥

Any fic recs? I’m off to trawl for Michael Fassbender and McCavoy pictures so I can get the hang of drawing them :P If anyone has pics, don’t hesitate to share them.

I did have go at drawing Charles.

Hi! Remember me? *waves*

I am so sorry I haven’t been around; I rather worried some people too for going missing. About a month ago, I had a pretty bad asthma attack, I was taken to the hospital because I could hardly breathe. My own fault for working with a lot of dust at old my job (finished that non pay thing now, thank god) So, been stuck at home on a nebuliser, tired, having a hard time doing anything because you need to breath to move, and horribly bored out of my skull. I’m okay now and the doc says it was just a one off reaction and to try and avoid allergens (laughed at that because that’s impossible, what am I NOT allergic too? LOL) but yeah I’m much better and missed everyone, god I feel so shy right now, it's been so long...

Thank god for TV, Film and my Xbox for keeping me sane in these boring times though ♥

OH GOD! Dragon Age 2 owns my heart right now, stomped all over it as well. Anders you, asfhdhshs……*explodes*  Will say my thinky thoughts on it in another post, I have LOTS of them regarding that game. It’s like Red Dead Redemption, in that you become so involved with the characters you can’t help but react when things don’t go so well.

DOCTOR WHO IS AWESOME, AS ALWAYS. Nuff said ;P Tis the show that has everything I adore. And, SUPERNATUAL season ender ASFAFSAFS ♥ I think a lot of shows just have me staring at the telly with a 'Oh christ when's the next season/episode coming up? OMFG I'm going to explode!!!' face 0-0

I’m also on a serious fantasy/comic fantasy/ historical fantasy kick at the moment. I finally found the time to sit down and watch The Eagle and I LOVED IT. Roman Britain is one of my favourite historical periods. My own home town was once Roman, and I remember when I was young helping an uncle find Roman coins in the fields. It was amazing to pick them up, and to imagine the Romans who used to live there so many centuries ago. Also, I don’t know, I just have such a serious adoration for this kind of movie, where opposites start with hate and slowly become friends (and men look broody and built ♥) Jamie Bell gets to be amazing and broody, plus Tatum portrays angst and hurt VERY WELL ♥
 
Also, saw Thor which was brilliant, rather like the first Iron Man it doesn’t take itself too seriously. Plus Loki was amazing, loved that they gave him depth, and didn’t make him such a cartoon villain. Bring on X-Men First Class tomorrow night XD So excited to see Xavier and Eric’s epic love affair, and EPIC falling out on screen lol I’m going to be picky I know it, as there’s nothing I don’t know about the X-men (huge X nerd) I’m already frowning over lack of Scottish and Irish accents for Moira and Sean D: I will behave and go in with clear eyes.

I'll stop flailing like a big geek now XD

I have been drawing while I was poorly, here’s a sneak peek of things to come.

( Eyebrows of doom posse... )I promise I will get replying to messages that I got as soon as I can. Forgive me if I’m a bit slow. I’m still rather shattered. So off to bed right now, will catch up tomorrow and reply then ♥

I caved to the Dave ;_; This wee beastie will arrive in a few days. You have to admire a machine called 'THE DECIMATOR' If I vanish you know it’s because I’m stuck wondering how to fit the cards in what slots, blown it up, or that i've got a hold of Dragon Age 2 to play on it  XD Sat now trying to save everything to my external drive, because if I lose my art and fanfic folders I will cry tears of blood. The Dave is envious as I'll have 6 cores over his 2 *bwahahahaha*

I better remember to save my R!BB art 0_0

Oh, I posted some art to cherrybina's Inception kink fest (so waiting for a free day to read EVERYTHING, because my god it's full of awesome.) I couldn’t resist drawing seraphinhunter's military/uniform kink prompt though. Only posted it yesterday, but thought i'd post it here too before I have to change computers and vanish.

( we're in the army now )

I think my style is changing a lot lately, or maybe I need new specs? I'm slowly crawling closer to drawing full on porn, almost, YES I DO KNOW THEY NEED TO BE MORE NEKID FOR THAT *laughs*. Though, I really wish I was faster at drawing, I guess I’m not because I always do a lot of detail in my art, but I'd SO love to draw a comic sometime  ♥

This guy is completely nicked from the Demon Eames AU that butterflythread has been writing, and platina drawing. Definitely go stalk their journals for more from the universe because it's amazing, hot and Eames as a Demon shouldn't be so sexy, but of course he is ;D

Thanks for letting me doodle around in your AU guys ♥ (And shhhsh I know elliot is a bit too big :P)


 


( He's a soul man )
I'm annoyed with myself. I always want to draw sexy times or snapshots of scenes from fanfics, but I go and ponce around drawing stuff like this. Why do I always draw bloody cover style art and not normal stuff like snogging, shagging on a rug, blowing shit up and shagging, Arthur and Eames sharing a sarnie and shagging ect? ;P 

I know this was meant to be for the Reverse BB, but I truly don't like how it turned out, so i'm posting it here now. Sorry for letting down those who wanted to see it in the R!BB *grovels* I'm sure i'll come up with something cooler, sexier or heartbreaking *grins evily*

 
( Just bloody RUN! )

PS Is there any way you can load a big-ish picture to Photobucket without it shrinking it? It's about 1225 pixles in width, but PB keeps knocking it about 1150 now and it blurs it badly.  Thank you Bunnie ♥, i

Figured I’d post the pictures I finished today as I have a massive Crimbo present wrapping and tidying up spree to do, so may not be around much. I kid ye not when I say my bedroom floor hasn't been seen for months D: Also may be the last pictures I do for a while as i'm busy, busy ;_;

( Would you like a hot throbbing machine between your legs, Arthur? )

In a bit of pain as my hips have taken to aching again because I fell over badly on the ice yesterday. My own fault, I was playing with my neighbour’s dog in the snow and got into a bit of a free for all snowball fight. Really nervous as the doctor told me if they keep hurting he will have to x-ray me to see if the cartilage is wearing down. I don’t want fake hips ;_; Oh if I come out saying some weird things online, please ignore me I’m on some really high painkillers and I’m all floaty.

It’s the start of the artist claims on the inception_bang  today. I’m dreading it as I don’t want to disappoint and I don’t think anyone would want me to draw for them D: I just hope I'm not indecisive/faff about and miss out like on last years Star Trek one, damn did I miss out on some great fiction T_T

Talking about drawing, I have two pictures to share.

Erm should have been working on important deadline drawings but cobweb_diamond   posted a mod and rockers fic and I kind of have a soft spot a mile wide for the era, it’s culture and the music (thanks dad) So despite the fact I should be working on other things I drew a pic from it. Eames looks so beaky and so not like him as I gave him a rockers hair do. Gags self to stop whining about it lol

I broke my tablet pen again so it's back to the mouse for colouring *woe*

( Mods, rocker and a PINNY????? )
Oh heck my net keeps going down, PLEASE BE WORKING TONIGH!!!
