elaby | Art responses to the drawble/drabble meme

I did a little drawing this week, and I finished drawbles for

caitirin :3

For the beautiful and inspiring

mermaiden! Michiru and a whale :D Er, the source I used for the whale was a humpback, I believe. This is the first time I've tried using Prismacolor pencils for several years, and... the scanner really made the colors look funny, so I think I'm going to mail you the original. Because I'm rather pleased with it ^_^

For my wifey! Cade is her character from her most recent Nano, a teenage psychic just learning about his powers from a wizard (Elliot, a.k.a. that there stick figure). She requested him with an expression like "If you make one more Star Wars joke, I'm going to choke a bitch. No, seriously." I think I succeeded XD A JC Penney magazine model helped me with the shoulders.

In related news, people on DeviantArt continue to tick me off daily. It must be nice to be so popular and have such a wonderful opinion of yourself that you can complain about how other people draw your characters and then link to an example of how they dared to get your character's hair wrong. And there was no indication that said example was a commission or anything like that. Good lord.

In not-so-related news, we just watched Zardoz, that 70's sci-fi movie with Sean Connery in a bright orange speedo. On a sense-making scale of 1 to 10, where 10 is Love Actually* and 1 is End of Eva, Zardoz registers at about -14. I don't think the fact that I was coloring/trying to install scanner drivers while watching really impaired my ability to understand it that much.

We went to a yarn festival today :3 It was really fun! There were lambies! And alpacas! Alpacas have HUGE eyes, and make the cutest noises.

*I had a hard time thinking of a movie that exemplifies "making sense." I picked Love Actually because it has lots of plot lines and you can follow every one of them easily.
