pondering possible fanart projects...

[ratcreature]

Seeing how committing to do fanart for comica_obscura actually led to me drawing something (and within a reasonable amount of time too), I've been thinking that maybe some kind of pressure might challenge me and increase my artwork output. Well, pressure beyond having a digital post-it note on my desktop reminding me how much of a slacker I am with a list of fanart ideas I had but haven't drawn yet, which is what I have been doing so far. Not that the "commitment => pressure => results" progression works all that consistently or well for me in RL, but I guess it's worth a try.

Anyway, I thought I might post the list with fanart I've considered drawing in a poll, then you can vote on which one you would most like to see become reality, and I'll do my best to actually make that happen. Part of why these haven't become actual pictures so far is that I have considered the ideas and then realized that they would take some significant effort because most require to draw several people and/or a reasonably complex background, upon which I then kind of went "meep!" internally and proceeded to open some browser window with fanfic. Um well, I have no work ethic, but I'm sure I'd actually feel great if I managed to finish one of these.

[Poll #730932]

Along the lines of less complicated fanart I could challenge myself with I considered doing this meme-ish thing I've seen somewhere where you ask people for a character and an emotion and then draw that. Which would fit with my intent to practice drawing emotions more. So if you are interested in me trying that, you could make such suggestions and I'd try drawing them to the best of my ability. That is as long as I know the character and it is not a fandom with actors, meaning basically either DC characters I'm familiar with or who at least are better known (e.g. Arsenal is "better known", Dogwelder not so much), HP characters, or the handful of Marvel characters I know (mostly those regularly appearing in Spider-Man and Daredevil).

Totally unrelated to any fanart stuff, I'm really feeling down that according to that USA Today article Everwood wasn't renewed. It took a bit of joy out of hearing about Supernatural's renewal, even though Everwood's cancellation wasn't unexpected. On top of that so far I've been unable to find a torrent for this week's Everwood ep, which sucks. *sigh*

And if you are like me and have missed the Brokeback Mountain in 30 seconds and re-enacted by bunnies version, you should take a look. It's not quite as good as my favorite bunny-fied movies, IMO, but still fun.

Storm, happily surprised.

How is the ratlet?

[ratcreature]

Okay, I can do Storm. Might be a little while though before I post the responses.

WRT my rat: He's through with the antibiotic treatment, which was the fourth and last antibiotic the vet offered as option, so there's no more of that. He feels somewhat okay now, also because he didn't react so well to the last antibiotic (it caused a reaction with lumps and swelling at the injection sites), so he's happy that as well as the vet visits are over for now, and is still hanging in there. He still makes noises when he's breathing, but I hope that part of it might be from damage the pneumonia did to his lungs, rather than the infection still progressing. He eats well, and actually gained all the weight he lost, and still comes out to play, even though he doesn't seem to have the same stamina and will stop frequently, just sitting somewhere, preferably with his head down, breathing noisily. So he's not healthy but I hope still he's tough enough to enjoy living for a while longer despite the wheezing and such.

I finished your request, though I posted in a separate entry so others may find it more easily:

Ginny Weasley, shocked.

Happy to read that your rattie is doing a bit better, even if he's not 100%.

hmmm, how about Peter Parker looking pleased with himself? *G*

[brownbetty]

I was reading along and went, Oooh! Junkie Roy, I will vote for that, and then nearly didn't notice that one of the options was for a story by meeeeeeeeeeee! But then I got all self-conscious and voted for Junkie!Roy, anyway.

If you're still taking requests, any two Robins/former Robins, brooding.
