Things Things Things

Where to start?

I started a vlog on YouTube! I'll be posting a new video about every week or so, I hope.

Here's my first! 

Yesterday I did a colour pencil drawing of Karen Gillan [Amy Pond] in one of her pictures for her Radio Times photo shoot. 

I was SUPER excited to find that Peter Capaldi was selected to play the 12th Doctor. He is an awesome actor and I'm sure he'll do a brilliant job.

And today, for the main story. Today I started working at my school's registrar office [paid!]. I'm going to be working there for a week, about six hours a day, so hopefully I'll earn around $176, which will go to buying my beautiful camera I have selected, the Nikon Coolpix S5200:

It's beautiful!

I'm also hoping to have enough money to buy myself 11's sonic screwdriver from the Doctor Who AUS shop [free shipping, woohoo!], which costs AUS $30.

The job at the school is making 800 welcome packets for the entire school population, and all sorts of different papers and labels have to go on them to make sure they get delivered to the right place. Our school's under construction right now, so it's HOT. And things are moved all over the place! 

It's August, which means LAST STAND OF DEAD MEN! I'm getting a copy for my birthday, which is on the 2nd of September! Sadly, my dad is leaving London the day of Derek's signing [30th August], but I'm sure I'll get to meet Derek when he goes down under!

Are any of you going to the signings?

*drags body to laptop*

I'm tired. I hate packing, so when I do things that I hate doing, I either get tired or hungry. Or both.

I'm leaving tomorrow night, so this is definitely my last post from my house, but who knows? Maybe I take some photos and post them during the holidays :) I'll misss yoouu!

Artwork that I did yesterday:

I guess there's meaning behind it. When there's darkness around you, look for the rainbow :)

One thing I wish I could have done is blended the colours better [I used watercolour pencils and a pen] and maybe layered them a bit more. Not my best, I must say.

Anyways, have a good holiday and stay safe!

*drags body to bed and whimpers*

TARDIS art!

I haven't been writing or chatting much, mostly because DW is taking up all my time. Do you know how hard it is to try and catch up on 7 seasons, all while the entire Doctor Who fandom releases spoilers on a daily basis?! Yep, so I just finished the first season. It's been a week since I started, so my pace is not too shabby, I must say. But still, NEED TO WATCH MORE.

Anyways, my sister and I were doing art today, just cause, and I decided to work on some fan art. If you took a look in my sketchbook, you'd mostly see fan art from DOSAB, and a teensy-bit of SP. Since I LOVE Doctor Who, I decided to do some TARDIS fan art.

Behold.

If you're wondering why it's not blue, it was an attempt to paint a space-like background onto the TARDIS. Eh, it actually turned out better than I expected :) 

Oh and we (my sister and I) just made Oreo cupcakes, I might post some photos of those once I get my hands on them [ssssneaky sisstersss, ssstealing photossss].

Hope you like it! Any feedback would be appreciated!

Laini Taylor and Her Ultimate Awesomeness

 

I decided that a post was necessary, even though I just posted a couple of days ago. This post is NECESSARY because there are TWO amazing books out there that more people should read. Not kidding. Daughter of Smoke and Bone and Days of Blood and Starlight. And soon, Dreams of Gods and Monsters. All of this created by a person I revere as a god (Laini Taylor, if you ever read this, I'm not as creepy as I sound. Just an average teenage girl obsessing over awesome things, like your books) :).

 

After reading both of Laini Taylor's books, I found a passion for creating artwork based on the novel. Pictured above is the protagonist, Karou, and one of my favourite quotes from the book (despite being said by a creepy rejected angel thing that takes eternal piggy-backs). GREAT BOOK!

 

Please read it. The book deserves so much. You deserve so much.

I can't believe I have to wait until NEXT APRIL for the next book. :(
