So, once upon a time I planned to post this whole long thing about the fact that I'm into Metalocalypse now, and why.  But that... sorta never happened (though maybe it still will, who knows).  But!  I did promise all y'all more art.  So I thought I would just jump right into that instead.

As a substitute for the big long explanation, let me just say that most of the characters on this show are quickly becoming some of my favorite characters of all time — and Pickles the Drummer (or should it be "Pickles the Frontman," in this case?) is most certainly among them.  Also?  C'mon, you gotta love a fandom where men in makeup is canon.  I mean, guh.

Anyway, if you like the pic but don't know anything about the character and are curious, please do ask.  But more importantly... if you've never watched the show, OMG DO!  (I especially recommend the "big K" clip.  It both cracks me up and breaks my heart every time.)


...Right.  On to the arts!

( Unofficial notes, cut for those who don't careCollapse )


Title: Color Me Wonderful
Fandom: Metalocalypse
Subject: SNB-era Pickles, portrait
Rating: PG for mild androgyny
Medium: Colored charcoal
Disclaimer: I won't go into what would happen if I owned him. *cough*  But clearly, I do not.
Warning: Uh... man!jewelry?
Notes: You can't tell, but his headband says "slut."  Obviously, I need more practice with fabric folds.  ...Also?  I think I may just have to draw the other members of Snakes N' Barrels, now.  So, uh.  Watch out for that.

( I love the 80sCollapse )

All comments (including con-crit), are welcome and encouraged; in fact, anyone who comments may request something for me to draw (please see unofficial note #7 for details).

If you are here from another community, please be so kind as to let me know where you're coming from.  Thank you!

Well, as promised (twice now; if anyone actually noticed), here are some sentence drabbles for you all in honor of my birthday.  And a couple of these are actually from requests, so yay on that as well. :P


Notes:

- The first PotC drabble is for drbillbongo.  (I also have your BBM one written, so that might be in the next batch.)  As to the pairing — you said Norrington/anyone.  So it's your own fault. *g*

- The second for PotC is actually a reference to a ficlet I'm working on (which is finished, but waiting to be beta read *cough*).  This is based on a line I liked but couldn't fit into the fic, so figured it would make a good drabble instead.

- The HP is for moshi, who's been waiting an insane amount of time for it.  Erm... sorry it took this long, darling. *guilty blush*

- kriken, your H/D's done... but didn't fit with Mosh's S/S, and I didn't want them competing for attention.  Should be up with the next batch, though.


( 2 PotC: Norrington/Elizabeth (Will/Elizabeth), Jack/NorringtonCollapse )

( 2 GO: War (War and DEATH), Aziraphale/CrowleyCollapse )

( 1 HP: Snape/Black (Harry, Remus)Collapse )


If anyone's interested (who hasn't read them all yet), more of these are here: one, two, three, four, five, six, and seven.

Feedback (including con-crit) would be lovely, as always. :)  And remember, anyone who comments is free to request up to three of these little things: give me a character or pairing and I'll [do my best to] write it for you!

Even if you already have some coming, don't hesitate to ask for more; I can always use the inspiration.  Just be sure it's a fandom I'm familiar with, and no crossovers (sorry... they're just too difficult for this venue).



ETA: On second thought, I've decided to take out the Lost drabble — it was getting kind of burried among the others, and I don't really think anyone would have noticed it.  Five's not too few, I suppose; I'll just repost that one with a different batch.

Well, I almost made it before noon this time (ha ha, by three hours).  Points for trying, right?  And hey, maybe I'm crazy to think earlier posts are any more likely to get read than later ones...  Well, anyway.  Here's that second batch:

Disclaimer:  Sorry if some of these seem better than others.  I had to go with what inspiration I had, and in some cases the muse may have been more generous; doesn't mean I intentionally put more or less effort into any of these.  Also, seeing as drawbles are meant to be a casual thing, I tried not to be a perfectionist about them; but if you're unhappy with the quality of yours, don't feel guilty about asking me to fix it up a little more. :)

Disclaimer #2: All characters belong to their creators and I've no legal claim to them.


And look, even more unofficial notes this time (I just kept thinking of stuff to say about the third one; sorry!):

Part I
Part III

 

Gack, I hate posting stuff in the afternoon — it always makes me feel like people are that much less likely to see it.  Oh, well.  I'll post these to communities tomorrow morning, I guess.

Anyway, here are the first three.  Yay?

Part II
Part III

 

Spontaneous sentence drabbles!  (Wow, I haven't done these in forever, huh?)

Well, y'all can thank moshi for reminding me that it was Ron's birthday today.  And my muse for being ever so accommodating at the last minute.

( 4 Harry Potter: Ron, Ron/Hermione, Ron/DracoCollapse )


And a couple for my non-HP friends — couldn't forget about you guys, could I?

Two of these are from those requests I took, many moons ago...

( 1 One Tree Hill: Mouth/Brooke / 1 Angel: Gunn and the panther / 1 Pirates of the Caribbean: Pintel/RagettiCollapse )


Any and all feedback is always greatly appreciated, including con-crit. :)

And once again, if you comment feel free to request something: up to three characters and/or pairings.  As long as it's a fandom I'm familiar with, I'll do my best to finagle something for you (and promise not to put it off for so long this time!).


For the interested, more of my sentence drabbles can be found here: one, two, three, four, and five.

As promised yesterday, here is the second part of my gift to rajrr for the Art Exchange.

Like I mentioned when posting the first piece, I had some trouble figuring out what I wanted Krum to look like.  So this is a different take on him (except for the nose, which I guess I liked too much to change), and a slightly different drawing style as well.


Title: Waiting for His Date: in Technicolor
Fandom: Harry Potter
Subject: Viktor Krum before the Yule Ball (Viktor/Hermione implied)
Rating: G
Medium: Mechanical pencil and gel pens
Disclaimer: Krum is Rowling's.  Those weird green shadows on his face are all mine.
Notes: For rajrr for the Fourth Quarter of the 2005 hp_art_xchange.  Done as an add-on to the other piece I drew her, to make up for not being able to incorporate the "color" theme into that one.  If you haven't yet, please do give it a look as well.
