So, The Good News Is, Ive Been Made Full-time. The Bad News Is, Ive Been Made Full-time. Time For Drawing

So, the good news is, I’ve been made full-time. The bad news is, I’ve been made full-time. Time for drawing has been severely cut. But I’m not very well today and confined to my sick bed, so I’ve actually had a chance to do some doodling. 

I’ve been watching a LOT of Sherlock Holmes recently (Jeremy Brett, obviously) and this is the result of that. That, and all the cold medication I’m currently taking…

Meet El Chickito. He is a chicken who dreams of becoming a Mexican wrestler. His nemesis is a dragon. The dragon isn't too impressed about this situation and, although he is very polite, privately dreams of turning El Chickito into BBQ chicken wings. 

(No, I really don't know what this is all about either.)

And here's the finished piece! Emily and Woolly go exploring...

I'm mostly pleased with how it turned out - really pleased with how Emily looks (particularly the whole rodeo-baby thing she's got going on), not so pleased with Woolly's trunk. But on the whole ... it's not bad.

A quick preliminary sketch for Emily's Adventure's Part 2 (a reminder of part 1 here). Today: Emily and Woolly the Mammoth go exploring.

(Baby hamster-cheeks a-go-go!)

Quick bit of Nimona fanart … Blackheart returns from a hard day’s villaining to find Nimona’s been doing a spot of DIY.

"It was only a couple of walls, Boss…"

"Err…"

(Can’t remember the last time I drew fanart for anything… Also, if you’ve not read Nimona yet drop everything right now and GO READ NIMONA. It's by gingerhaze and it's awesome. )

Bring me sunshine

Sorry for the lack of updates over the last couple of weeks. I was finalising those lyric cards for my pal’s wedding (and was so rushed that I completely forgot to take pictures of the last few!), among other real-life bits and pieces.

The first dance went really well, though I’m not sure that it was strictly traditional… we had a couple of friends hold up the cards (of which there were 28 in the end) while we sang and, somehow, managed to get all 120 guests to join in with the singalong aspect of the thing. Given that we ahd thought that we’d be doing well if we could get 10 people to join in, I think you could call it a run away success… The upshot was that the couple were the only ones dancing, amidst much giggling and general silliness.

And now my pal’s planning to frame the cards up around their house, which is lovely indeed.
