Catching-up post

Gosh. I completely forgot to share my last Inktobers... There was a reason - like, I have been working rather hard on my Christmas card :p. Which is done now. I'll make a separate post for it and, you know, ask who wants one. But here are my very Potter Inktobers. Harry and Dumbledore were Tumblr requests.


(This is so me - I started drawing rather randomly on the page and so the broomstick didn't fit on anymore. *sigh* Some friends have been urging me to become a semi-professional artist, but I think you can see why I am not really convinced myself :p.)


(Dumbles deserves a better picture. But at least I gave him nice hair.)


(This is actually A4 size, so it took me more time to finish than is practical for an Inktober. But I had such fun with it. Bearded Snape has become quite dear to me. You can tell how relaxed he is by the fact that you can see BITS OF SKIN. Originally there wasn't an undershirt, but I was shocked at quite how exposed he looked, so I drew it on. I mean, there are points of relaxation that he just won't cross :p...

My two fest entries aren't done yet. Because I want too much. I'm working on them.

Oh yes, I also drew this

Beardless Snape and Brynhild. I have to say, I feel slightly ashamed for persisting with the dreaded Snape/OFC, even in my more mature years, but seriously, Snape and Brynhild do belong together in my head and I really can't think of any more comforting scenario. Probably because my imagination is very limited.

Christmas cards

OK, so Photobucket is being infuriating again and not allowing me to upload (or log in, for that matter) :( :( :(. I wanted to show you some teaser sketches I did for this year's Chistmas card, but... no such luck. They are here on Tumblr, if you would like to have a gander. It's an Arthurian card, despite my rather Snapeish output recently - it will feature Gawain, Bedwyr, Cai and Arthur :).

Anyway.

The Christmas card is just about ready (there are some minor tweaks to be done), so this year it could actually arrive on time! It has a more complex image than usual, and I have coloured it digitally - that's a first. I was really worried about having to make a different version with watercolour because I don't trust my digital colouring skills, but it hasn't been necessary. The result doesn't look like any of my other stuff, but I am quite pleased with it :).

As has been my custom for a few years now, I'm going to have the card printed. There will be some 30 or 40, and every year I have enough stock left - so if you would like to receive a card, please don't be shy and send me your address. You are in no way under any obligation to send me a card in return; I'm just doing this for fun.

So, what to do? Just send me your address by e-mail (severelysigune at yahoo dot co dot uk) or by pm on my Dreamwidth, Livejournal, Tumblr or Deviantart accounts.

That's it for now. I need to work on those Snapesy fest entries :P.
