Whoot. I'm back in the saddle on these. And might I add that it is marvelous that the Netherlands is one of those men with a so-called perfect physique? I just had a fun time drawing all of those muscles and smoothing fatty bits under his shirt (and then covering them all up with the shirt, but I don't care, because it was fun to draw someone so ( Read more... )

It has been so long since I've actually participated int the dA Color Scheme monthly challenge. It feels so good to just bust out something. When if Devious Deadlines going to post a new challenge? I actually have TIME on my hands. So new, and wonderful, this feeling is.

Trying to convince myself that I'm not taking too much time away from my Anzaldua essay (who'm I kidding, it's been 3 hours now). Been listening and watching way too many sappy Hetalia vids (and a hell of a lot of Homestuck vids. Curse you kiwi! Why did I listen to you? This marvelous time sink is still a time sink).

So, something different than I usually do. I ended up explaining what little I knew about Belarus to a class today, since I was the only one in class who knew what Belarus was. After I was done, some bright spark piped up: "Oh yeah, that's that piece of the Soviet Union that rigs elections." Now I don't count myself any sort of expert on Slavic ( Read more... )

Okay, so I kind of have a thing about sibling pairs, so I started work on Canada once I was done with Alfred/Cabernet Sauvignon. I kinda went over board on the scenery in this one.

So Lovino's installment in the colors of wine. I'm not entirely satisfied with his face (At least it's not as painfully pointy as Italy's). He looks too damn smug and debonair, but the wine description was that way, so? Hmm. Also, I have a HUGE weakness for bootlegger!Romano. It's like cabaret!Prussia. There are some things about the 1920s that I ( Read more... )

This is the result of playing a game about wine with champagnesly. I know nothing about wine (untrue but basically accurate), and Sly knows a lot, so I asked Sly to describe what wine would best represent what Hetalia character. Then, for kicks and giggles I went on thecolorof.com, searched for the wine in question to get the "pure" color of any given wine. ( Read more... )

First off, th15mak35n053n53 has posted some more Dr. Who vids (Buffy should be coming up, I'm going to be putting the pressure on... or asking for the John/Sherlock vid th15mak35n053n53 was planning). I really want to rec the Rory-centric Mr. Pond. Love the song, and the clip choices are really good at considering what's going on in each episode.

Reflections on the New Year
Well, there's 2011 gone, and now we're starting on the end of the world. Time to take stock.
( Some ramblings, manderings, and a meme )

Because I am tired of doing the title of this post, I thought I might yoink a fun looking meme from champagnesly.
