more voltron, surprise

Shocking, I know. But listen, I haven't fallen this hard for a ship since probably Jackanda, which is super saying something. I've been reading fic, even.

(Also Alex was sweet enough to watch the rest of Season 2 in preparation for marathoning Season 3 with me and Ari when we visited him in Guilford since I couldn't watch it at home because we didn't have internet yet... love that boy.)

Anyway here's some Shiros.

And some Keefs.

Had to draw him in the Blade of Marmora suit because come on, seriously.

Gay.
Also I love Pidge and Hunk and their science bros vibes.

"Nothing's gonna happen to you, Shiro. Stop talking like that."

Uhhh I have nothing to say for myself other than Shiro does legitimately have enormous pecs.

Listen, the evil clone was hot okay.

Liked this sketch enough to turn it into a painting (based on the song Illuminate by Yellowcard).

Why are they so Yellowcard. This one's MSK.

You can't tell me they didn't make out in the black lion at least once. (Cut Me, Mick.)

Oh whoops I'm sad. (Make Me So.)

Still holding out for an astral plane reunion. (Takedown.)

Some sad and angry Season 3 Keefs.

There's definitely some clone shit going on here. Can't wait for their Real reunion in Season 4.

I've started grad school now, so this pattern of not posting here for months at a time will likely continue. Such is the way of it. I like the classes so far though - much chiller than Olaf.

The Thrill

Not to jump way ahead in the chronology of this Shadowrun campaign, but it's Alex's birthday today so I made him some Flember. God that background was waaaaay the hell out of my comfort zone but I just went for it and I feel like it turned out okay!

Spoiler, Ember and Flechette get together and its hella cute and everyone's super invested.

I'll be sure to catch this blog up on Shadowrun and also our other DnD campaign once finals are over (my last set of undergrad finals, woo!) but until then this Flember will have to suffice.

Pose reference was from here, and here is the song that inspired the piece.

the bastard and the viper

I keep finding drawings of Erik and Suvoi that I've given up on and abandoned partway through. 

(Never See Your Face Again - Maroon 5 & Rihanna)

(Demons - Imagine Dragons)

You will probably be getting more Mass Effect next because I got my own Xbox and started a new Shep, woo! I do hope I can figure out how to retrieve my old data though because I will miss poor GingerShep terribly if I can't get her back,. *tear*

Animals (Maroon 5) - Mass Effect

This KP-draws-to-the-radio turned out kinda dirty. Whoops (not whoops).

Baby, I'm preying on you tonight
Hunt you down eat you alive
Just like animals, animals, like animals

Maybe you think that you can hide
I can smell your scent from miles
Just like animals, animals, like animals

So what you trying to do to me
It's like we can't stop we're enemies
But we get along when I'm inside you

Holy wow I am invested in this ship.

Quote of the Day: "Where's your scary boyfriend?" "Off doing scary boyfriend things."

Rather Be (Clean Bandit ft. Jess Glynne) - Welcome to Night Vale

I have another KP-draws-to-the-radio for you! I like how this turned out.

If you gave me a chance I would take it
It's a shot in the dark but I'll make it
Know with all of your heart, you can't shame me
When I am with you, there's no place I'd rather be

When I drew this, Cecil and Carlos were still doing long distance and had been for about a year, so I decided this song was a good fit (and a good way to emotionally injure my boyfriend, you're welcome Matt).

Quote of the Day: "I don't even know where to begin cleaning up all this blood!" "Nnnff..." "I'm sorry, did you say something?" "Nnnnope, I just... like your story."

Pretty Girls (Britney Spears & Iggy Azalea) - Mass Effect

Friends, I'm doing a thing. 

Aaaand the thing is: drawing to the radio! 

All around the world, pretty girls
Wipe the floor with all the boys
Pour the drinks, bring the noise
WE'RE JUST SO PRETTY
All around the world, pretty girls
Jump the line, to the front
Do what we like, get what we want
WE'RE JUST SO PRETTY

I keep hearing the same overplayed songs on the radio in the car on my way to and from work every day, and they keep giving me ideas of stuff to draw (this time, it happened to be my Shepard, Liara, and Ashley being fabulous). I decided to roll with it and do a series. Which means expect more of these. Probably just as silly as this one.

In other news, Night Vale. Get the hell on it. I am.

Quote of the Day: "Do not consume wheat, or its by-products."

never see a crash 'til it's dead on

Alaska will not leave me alone, guys. And the people I've talked to have all been like "yeah, it just leaves this hollow place inside you that never actually goes away. Isn't it great?" Ian just finished it as well, so the other night we all made bufriedos and shared a bottle of Strawberry Hill and played Best Day Worst Day and truth or dare and it was a great time. But the hollow place is still there and it's awful and wonderful and just *keels over*

Also, the other day we built a blanket fort in the lounge and flailed around in it all afternoon, and I drew pictures.

And then Ian and I slept in the fort. Well, that's not what we actually did. We actually just sat around and talked about everything we could think of until 6:30am and then I slept from then until 11:30 the next day. He woke up before me. Somehow. That kid doesn't actually sleep ever. It was a fantastic time.

Also also, my Anna came back from England! *dances around gleefully* We've just been spending our interim break eating all the food and sleeping all the hours and telling each other all the stories and listening to all the Amanda Palmer.  She was impressively jetlagged upon her return, and woke up at like 5am that first night, just bolted awake, and was like "LEMME TELL YOU ABOUT LONDON" and talked at me about immersive theatre until I fell back asleep. It was awesome. I missed my Anna.

Now real school starts tomorrow and our other two roommates aren't back yet because snowstorms and planes don't play nice. I am not ready for real school. I need like one more week of break. But that's too bad. *girds loins, or something*

More pictures for you later. Meanwhile, song that just exudes Alaska.

Normal is overrated!

AUGH

You guys, my face hurts. I had my wisdom teeth ripped out of my head on Wednesday, and everything is swollen and bruised and I look ridiculous. Ech. I hate surgery. I hope I never ever need it again.

But anyway, I finally scanned a few things from my new sketchbook. Like, for example, the first page. with its customary splatter of weird nonsense.

Those are the lyrics to On the Wing by Owl City because Owl City makes me smile. Which, right now, hurts. Oops. Oh well.

I also decided it was high time for a new DeviantART ID picture, because I'm older now and I cut my hair and became a Whovian, among other important things.

MSG funtiems! This scene took place pretty far back near the beginning of the Crimson Hand fiasco. Harkin had just started a barfight in order to audition the various mercenaries for the job, and Suvoi and Marcus came out on top, but only because Marcus got spooked by Erik and blew a magical hole in the bar. Suvoi then proceeded to slam Harkin into the wall (she's always doing that) and threaten him with her garroting wire while he simultaneously jammed a pistol into her stomach. *snort* And Matt denies any sexual tension between his character and mine. Pah.

And this sketch happened because the newest City of Bones trailer (!!!) has a clip of Jocelyn being badass, and my mom, who just finished reading the original Mortal Instruments trilogy, was complaining about how the Shadowhunter parents were not badass enough. So I sat her down and made her watch the trailer and paused it on the image of Jocelyn being all snarly in the rain and was like "AHA. There you go. Hashtag badass Shadowhunter moms."

Have I mentioned how freaking excited I am for this movie?!!! You have no idea. I might actually explode. There will probably be a separate post about it soon. Just me freaking out and waving pretty pictures at you that I've found on the internet. *SQUEEE*

In other news, Anna and I are writing character letters to each other and it's nerdy and awesome and totes adorbs and this is why we are married. It's a medieval Icelandic fantasy... shaped... thing. Except I wrote the latest installment while half-unconscious from the anaesthesia, so it might not make any sense. Sorry, Anna. I mean, I already killed her character's fiance in a magical accident, so she's already not too pleased with me. Oops.

Release the flood!

... of arts, which I have been saving for you. Uploaded from my mom's computer, as promised.

Firstly, some D&D things. I colored that picture of Valandra for funsies, because I felt like coloring and that was what came to hand. Didn't mean for her dress to turn out quite so minty, but anyway.

And Ileana got another sketch, because I still love her even though she exploded.

And some older steam mess doodles. Sergeant India Ravelin and Captain Benathy Greene of the good ship Cordelia, as well as Ivy Dale, Lizby and Hickory's insane Conduit mother.

Super old Hunger Games minidoodles I forgot about. Pretty self-explanatory.

So, Matt gave me The Fault in Our Stars by John Greene to read, and it slew me. It's a good thing he was sitting there next to me for the last thirty pages or so, because I was a sobby, snotty mess and needed to be held. Anyway, here's Gus and Hazel being cute.

And there they are again, along with the lyrics to the Amanda Palmer song "Astronaut." Go look it up on YouTube. Fits their relationship pretty well. (Also, I can't seem to ever draw Augustus's face the same way twice, rrr.)

Now, Mistborn things. I gave Matt the first one to read, and then he discovered that his brother had the whole trilogy at home. The other day, he Skype-chatted me something along the lines of "Sazed and Tindwyl are way too cute" and I was like OH NO. THE ENDING WILL DESTROY HIM. I should really draw those two sometime; they are in fact the sweetest couple ever. But in the meantime, have some Vin looking badass. (I rescanned this image; should be better now.)

And then have some Elend looking badass with her. Finished this one up because I love how small she looks, standing next to him.

Right, back to Birthright. I finally drew a picture (albeit a crappily composed one) of the whole gang! From left to right: Matteo, Fidelio, Andra, Nath, and Luca. They've been with me for lots of years, and they've changed some, and a few of them go by different names now, but they're my babies. D'aww.

Kay, I feel better with all that out of my system. Back to previously scheduled OYAN freakout.

Thing of the Day: Steam Powered Giraffe

My friends are so cool. They showed me this song, and now I just want to listen to it over and over until I die.

THE FACE PAINT. AND THE MOVEMENTS. AND THE EVERYTHING. GAAH. Unfortunately, I listened to some other Steam Powered Giraffe songs and didn't like any of them as much as Honeybee. Darn. But Honeybee is fantastic, and also the Thing of the Day.

Speaking of robot face paint, we had free face painting the other day and I had this done to my face.

Pretty great, no? In other news, I went home for spring break and was greeted by a snowstorm.

A week later, by Easter Sunday, it was full-on springtime.

...And then I came back to school and it was cold and damp, gosh darn it. There's like three inches of wet, heavy snow on the ground right now. I like snow, but I'm not a huge fan of slush. Just saying.

We had our Bi-Dormal Formal dance last weekend, and I got some classy pictures of my friends. Here, have an Anna. She looks British. Probably because of the shawl. I am married to this, you guys. *winning*

Alex, my little brother, and Katia, my mistress. We're all related in Kildahl. It's fine.

Matt and I. Yes, I re-purpled my hair.

Darling Claire. We love her because she feeds us foods. Also because she's a delightful person.

 Anna again, looking sexy with a bow tie. Bow ties should always be worn with little black dresses, obviously.

I might post again tonight. Got some drawrings to showya.

Goin' to the monastery tomorrow for Great Con! Woot!
