Belphegor

...But not the one that one of my first-graders (in French we call that class CP - six-to-seven years olds) made for my birthday and gave me yesterday. It was adorable :o)

Okay, remember I mentioned a marker drawing of Ninjette a way back? Here it is:

( Hi, 'Jette! )

She was fun to draw :o)

Also, three watercolours + ink (well, two, and one ink-only). Not specific characters (although the brown-haired one with a smile kinda looks like me), so feel free to make up what you want about them :D

( 70s girl )

(the scanner messed up a bit - upper left corner's blurry)

( Dreamer )

(It's tough to be precise with ink and a brush!)

( Short-haired gal )

(One of my favourites - there's a Darwyn Cooke-ish vibe to it :o)

I came back to an old favourite fandom of mine, Pirates of the Caribbean (never really left, but this time I tried something new) and my favourite PotC characters, Pintel and Ragetti. I wanted to do something a bit different from what I usually do, something that showed I worked on it a bit.

( Gunners of the Caribbean )

As usual, there are things in this that bother me (the characters' hands, the actual background - or lack thereof - and the window is just weird) but, as a whole, I think the lighting works. Which is saying something.

And now, for something completely different, a quick envelope doodle (I seem to be doing that a lot these days) of River Tam in War Stories (one of my very favourite episodes of Firefly).

( There's no power in the 'verse can stop her. )

The doodle ended up a little too close to the left edge than I'd liked, hence the half gun (also, I'm rubbish at drawing guns and machines, which of course means I should draw more of them) but the posture isn't bad, I suppose :o)

That's all for now, folks :o]

Title:   Backup
Fandom: Life on Mars (pre-series)
Characters:  Chris Skelton, Ray Carling
Pairing: none
Rating:  G
Genre: humour, a few ouchies, dialogue-only
Word Count:  200
Spoilers/Warnings:  having seen the finale of Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes and knowing why Chris freezes in a shootout helps, but it's not spoileriffic.
Summary:  D.C. Ray Carling, P.C. Chris Skelton, and one guy with a gun - situation should be simple. It's not, though.
A/N: Wrote this one on the bus this morning, partly because I could see it playing out in my head and also because I wanted to know whether I could write dialogue-only LoM fiction. Up to you to decide whether the voices are recognisable :o)

 

( Ray thinks Chris is being a div. )

 

Writing again, yay :o)
