tripperfunsterYay! 2009 was so much fun! There was HP and Blades and OMG STAR TREK ATE MY BRAIN! even though I invited it to eat other things too... 2009 also brought different mediums, like COSTUMES and SCULPTING and BEAD WORK! Sadly, some of my fav works were done for fests that have not done reveals yet, so I cannot include them here *sob* but let's take a quick look back and see what I DID do!
BEST ART CONTRAST Snape/Hagrid
Drawn for HP Beholder. I just love this fest. Ugly people are almost more beautiful than pretty ones. Okay, that's not exactly true, but I really like finding the beauty there.
#2 Comish for Lilyeyes. SEVERITUS (which still sounds like a disease to me, btw.)
What I learned here? Babies are hard to draw. Trufax.
MOST PROUD OF
Pointillition Snarry
This took sixty-five years to complete.
Honestly, WTF was I thinking? I will NEVER, EVER take on a project like this again.
Except of course, THIS ONE!
No wonder my numbers are down! I think I found a rip in time and aged like sixteen years, just in 2009 alone!
MOST UNDERAPPRECIATED
You guys are the best, and I never feel unappreciated. Except for this pic, which WAS NEVER EVEN ACKNOWLEDGED by it's recipient in an exchange fest I was in. I even politely poked them, to say 'Hey! Did you see this?' And nothing.
But now, it has a brand new home with Eeyore999 and she fondles it every day. <3
WRONG, EVEN FOR ME
Sadly, I did not live up to my 'Mistress of Squick' title much this year. TOO BUSY SEWING EFFIN' BEADS! I do have some 'old man porn' in an as of yet not revealed fest, which I'll post soon, so in the meantime, take these:
The Daily Deviant theme was Oral Sex While Menstrating
Ouch!
Prompt was AWESOMESAUCE.
BIGGEST SURPRISE
This pic was featured in a Trek article in one of Sweden's largest newspapers. That was extremely unexpected and cool! And![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kiwicoy did a cross stitch of it, which just blew me away!On DevArt
And lastly, this one, which I just posted a couple of days ago really elicited an emotional response from many people, which surprised and pleased me. It was a pic that I started and stopped quite a few times, due to fest deadlines and xmas preparations, so I lost my mojo with it, and finished it off a lot more quickly than I would have liked. It was supposed to be a taller pic, with more of Snape's leg and arm, but I was OVER IT already, and just cropped it short. And wow! You guys just blew me away with your response. <3 <3 <3
COSTUME
My mini Gene Simmons:
This one was SO FUN! Quincey was just SO DAMN PROUD of it! When we went to the KISS concert, people were giving him hi-fives, and thumbs up and asking to take his photo. He felt like a real rock star that night!
All in all a good year! I drew 45 finished pics, plus 23 pages of my Blades of Glory graphic novel (which I HAVE to finish grrr), 42 or so peenlulz drawbles,20 or so Azkatraz drawbles four costumes, one sculpture and the Beaded Kirk. whew!
Let's hope 2010 is even more productive!!
Thanks so much to my lovely flist for sticking around, and a big wave to all my new friends out there. I hope this post doesn't scare you too much. I'll be posting some fun fest stuff in the next few days.
