Well, I started Moonbase today. Easier than I had thought, although the perspective was difficult to get right as it is all in black/grey and white. I decided to fill the background in using graphitint pencils and then wash over it, but unfortunately it didn't work out as smoothly or as evenly as I would have liked. I did scan it before I did the background however, so I shall be able to print it out and maybe do it again.

Hmm. 463 visitors to this site yesterday. An increase from the usual 70 to 80. Wonder why?
Anyway, my UFO story behaved itself today and positively begged me to write some more. As it asked so nicely, I obliged, and got to Chapter 4 before work interrupted me. Drat. I can feel another Lightcudder story coming on for poor Jeff Tracy and his sons. Oh Dear! I think Alan needs some Betnovate cream for that rash........... If the UFO story (hopefully titled 'Legacy') lets me, I want to start doing my Moonbase drawing tonight. It isn't going to be easy, but hey, if you don't try, you'll never find out! I'll update you on how it goes! Started a new story today. It's been hanging around in my head for a while, but wouldn't co-operate ( you writers out there will understand!) . Eventually I beat it into submission and managed to get four thousand words out before it decided to have another temper tantrum. So it's sitting there on the computer, and when it promises to behave itself, I'll carry on with it!
And tonight I put the picture of Straker asleep in Moonbase, on the Art page, under Episodes. I might have to split the Episodes page up into several different pages if I do a lot more! As there are 26 episodes I think it would be too much to trawl through all the pics to look at one specific drawing. It's going to make this web site rather large though! Thanks to all of you who have contacted me! Good to know you enjoy this site. And I won't reply unless you specifically ask me to email you! I parked my car. Went to pay. and was told that I was not allowed to park because I was a member of staff.
I have a permit, I said. You can't have a permit, she said. I do, I replied. We don't give permits for staff for here, she said. I'm not staff, I answered. But you work here? Yes, I agreed, but I'm not staff and I have a permit. You can't have a permit. Shall I get it for you, I asked? Why are you paying then if you have a permit? Because it's the terms of the agreement. I can park here if I pay. It says so on MY PERMIT None of our staff are allowed to park here. We don't give staff permits to park here. Ever get the feeling an arguement is going round in circles? Next time I'll tell her I'm a patient and being treated for severe psychotic tendencies that make me aggressive!! Oh and I drew Gordon Tracy in speedos today. That made me feel better! Updated the section on Stories behind the UFO stories, with details of new stories and progress on others already in the pipeline.
Also updated Behind the Thunderbirds Stories to include 'Unwanted' Cold today. very little to do in the way of work as well, so I started a sketch of Gordon Tracy. I've done it in a slightly different way, rather 'rough and ready', so it will be interesting to see how it is received.
It's very therapeutic as well, all this doodling, although I do get a bit stressed when I have to try something hard - like hair!! I seriously think that I'd like to do Art GCSE! Why not! Although if it involves doing stuff other than drawing faces I might get stuck! I'm going to try drawing Moonbase next - just for a change of scenery. Chaos at the hospital this morning. They decided to ban parking for anyone other than patients on the car park I use, and refused to let me park on the other site as staff aren't allowed to park. It took ages to convince them that although I was staff, I wasn't really staff and anyway I had a permit that allowed me to park on the car parks. To which they replied that no staff had a permit and so I showed them the one on the windscreen. It's the only class E permit given out!! Well, 'Unwanted' went down okay - although Criminally Charmed on Fanfiction thinks I am warped and strange.... Hmmmm. Drew Gordon Tracy this weekend - Started yesterday and thought I had messed it up; the nose was too bulbous, but I got the old putty rubber out and managed to salvage it today.
Planning a new UFO story, but its being rather difficult and won't do what I want it to do. I found my oriinal UFO story yesterday -- never finished it because my overall plan went in another direction, but I might just resurrect it and, with a bit ( well okay, a lot) of rewriting, get it fit to publish. We'll see. Rather busy day drawing, but wrote a new story (?) for Thunderbirds. Very short and hopefully amusing! I wonder how many people will understand it! It's called Unwanted.
Spent most of yesterday drawing- The Man Who Came Back. Spacesuits - very challenging but good fun. I think I made a decent job of it. It's up on the Episodes page of Art work! I am pleased with the metal effect and the reflections.
New Story up today - Nightmare Scenario. It was one I had thought about for a while, but never really got to grips with.Very short,especially for me!
Went out to buy Art stuff today -expensive. I'll have to draw now! Denise Felt finished her Beyond Repair story last night - excellent as usual! |
