They deserved a Tony and you know it

     Hello. I haven't posted in like a week (or two)... sorry. But I have some doodles now (one I actually produced last week but whatever. Frozen the Broadway (or whatever it's officially called) has been inspiring me as of late and they didn't win a single Tony. But I did fall out of my chair out of excitement/clumsiness so...  

Yes, I cut to the doodles before I ramble even more. The first one is inspired by one of the new songs made for Broadway, A Little Bit of You, sung by little Anna and Elsa on that night. Every time I hear "a proper snowman", I imagine Olaf with a top hat and monocle so there, I drew Olaf with a top hat and monocle. And the second one I drew today after checking out a reblog of a post I made on Tumblr that got popular again and coming across a picture that made me scream when I registered both the faces in it. I ended up drawing the official characterizations of Prince Hans as cartoons at the moment (you can find the original picture I'm talking about on both Frozen Broadway and John Riddle's Instagrams). I was conflicted between drawing the actual actors or the character(s) but here's this one for the time being. Just how tall is John Riddle though? I know Santino (this poor man. My fingers constantly screw up his name. I can spell your name, I swear) is like 5'10" or 5'11" (no, I can't translate to metric) and John looked a good four inches taller. My guess is 6'3". Not that it's bad, I quite like tall men. Yes, I realize I only decorated one of Broadway!Hans's shoulders, I'm sorry. It's getting late here so toodles, till next doodle.

Well, I'm posting Wednesday

      Hello. There was no chance of me posting last weekend because I was busy. I have to go back to work this Saturday ugh and I have some doodles that need to be posted here so let's go:

Mermay will be coming to a close soon and this is what I have to show for the past two weeks (and another doodle that I haven't taken a picture of yet). This is a story in two parts: Canoe dude is canoeing along when these lovely ladies poke their heads out of the water. Sirens! He thinks oh, he's going to die happy. Problem is, these mermaids he's coming across are actually an alien species that 1. don't actually look as pretty and 2. like to take unsuspecting men underwater with them. I'm not letting you in on all the details (I gotta leave something for the story) but yeah... my mermaids aren't your run-of-the-mill aesthetic little mermaids.

The third party app I use for Instagram has been acting up. A lot of the time it won't open up fully/it closes without loading which means I've been missing out on posting. I check Instagram on the computer now but it's annoying so I'm not posting as much or even doodling as much as I used to. But I have a couple of Frozen related doodles:

I started drawing Hans for the thirteenth but I wasn't feeling it that day so I ended up doodling up throwing away a balled paper while sighing and calling it stupid. I finished it on the fourteenth and posted it on Tumblr. The bottom is a fan OC of mine from an AU fanfiction idea of mine that I'll hopefully put more of on here but his name is Anders and he is the crown prince of Arendelle. He is the source of his mother's constant worry but he isn't that bad a kid. He just doesn't like having such stifling parents. It's getting late here so I'll just sign off for now. Till next doodle, toodles.

Mermay Monday and a belated Star Wars Day

      Hello! I'm finally posting (yay for small miracles!) and I've got a couple of doodles to freshen up this blog: 

I'm using Mermay as an excuse to work on some mermaids because I have to develop my stories and I made an original species that... I'll save that for later 😉 So the first one I drew last week on the 1st and yes, I'm aware she looks like Ariel, I did that on purpose because the original idea I had wasn't working out so I warmed up with an Ariel look-alike. Friday was May the fourth and I wanted to draw something for it so I sketched out a Rey in my old sketchbook (I've gotten used to textured paper so I didn't like how smooth that sketchbook is. It's from a Crayola set my grandparents gifted me back when I was in school). I didn't post her immediately because I drew her late in the day and my third-party Instagram app has been glitching and not letting me scroll down my feed so I feared I couldn't post. That probably influenced the expression I drew on Rey. I ended up posting her on my Instagram and Tumblr on Saturday. Today's mermaid is peeking from behind a surfboard checking out the remains of a shark attack while her hair looks like an octopus 🐙 I love the octopus emoji on my phone (Windows), this one looks like the emblem of a villain, but there is no shark emoji. That has to change. I plan on doing more mermaid drawings but things are going to get scarier from here. You've been warned. I hope to post more doodles on here soon so stay tuned. Till then, toodles.

Well, well, well. Look what we have here

     Hello! I haven't been here in a week and someone in Portugal decided to discover my blog over the weekend? Hola! Muito abrigato for visiting. And that's like all the Portuguese I know. I came here for a reason...

Whoops, I can only post two of the pictures I have because I made an Instagram post with my phone plugged into the computer so the computer won't read that new picture right now 😞 Anyway, I've obviously been inspired to draw Frozen stuff again but not because I'm currently obsessed with it. Nah, it's because of a fanfic writer I'm following on Tumblr. First picture is part of a series of doodles in my Frozen sketchbook of modern!Elsa in gowns. I was inspired to draw her in a "butt cape" as drawingwiffwaffles on YouTube calls it and I added that cold shoulder look (I literally didn't know what it was called until last week). Like come on, wouldn't she wear something like that? And the second picture is a page I have been working on since end of last year. It is a page dedicated to fanart of this fanfic. Check it out so you understand what I drew here. The writer loved it and apparently felt chills. It took me a while to finish this page partly because she went quiet on Tumblr and naturally didn't update her fanfiction, and partly because I worked out of order and work takes a lot of my time now. I actually like work but I'm supposed to be working part time and it doesn't feel that way. I actually worked 40 hours one week because I covered for someone on a day I had off and I rarely clock out at exactly the time I'm scheduled to finish so I have extra minutes that add up. But I have been getting a lot of stuff that I either needed or wanted since I got hired. I bought a bed and dresser, things I really needed because I used to use a cheap plastic set of drawers that were a hand-me-down from a former aunt by way of marriage and my grandma's old mattresses. I recently put insurance on the childhood family car again and I plan on registering it in my name so I can drive it. And I have my driver's license finally. I've been busy adulting and it's taking a toll on my art (or at least this blog) but I love drawing and it's great for relaxing at work during lunch or after work while listening to music or waiting from my sims to load so yeah. It is slowing down at my job because where I work is very tourist driven so the majority of the snowbirds have left. Ironically I'm working more hours and like five days a week and I'm seeing less coworkers or at least certain people I'm seeing less often so I don't how this summer is gonna go. But it's good to be busy so yeah. Well, I'm going to enjoy my day off tomorrow and get some stuff done. Maybe I'll come back with more doodles on Friday. Wait, I definitely have to come back because I couldn't post one tonight. Till next time, toodles. 

 

Because babies...

      I'm sorry I haven't posted in a month, life's been busy, still is for the foreseeable future, but I have been doodling when I have free time. Heck, I bring my sketchbook when I know I'm getting an hour long lunch due to overtime so here come some doodles: 

It seems random but I felt like drawing Hans on the thirteenth which happened to be the same day that Truth or Dare movie came out so Hans is bothering Elsa by suggesting playing the game. And then the other two pictures are based off of an old idea I have but I felt like drawing baby Shatterstar (Shattybaby) recently so I drew him first and then built Dazzler and Longshot around him. I feel like Longshot ended up a little too tall but maybe he's so excited to be holding a baby version of his buddy that he bounced? And then I gave Rictor the same treatment but he's being held by Jean Grey and Cyclops... because his parents are in Mexico and dead. I've got one more doodle to finish this series and I was working on it just now... but I had also planned on finishing a page in my sketchbook dedicated to the Avengers and Infinity War comes out this week and I have to close the store on Friday night 😩. Nobody at work knows about this blog yet so I think I can get away with complaining about it for now. Hope to put some life back into this blog soon. 

Friday Follies

      Hello! It's Friday and I have some doodles:

Sorry, with work six days of the week now and not doing digital art (and I haven't gotten my tax return because of identity theft 😭long story... so I haven't gotten a replacement tablet), it's harder for me to post on here. I post just fine on Instagram and Tumblr because it's instant, and I think I need to get a camera just for that because every new post and picture steals away precious memory from my phone. Anyway, I doodled a fan character on scrap paper because I don't want to have to start a new page in my X-Men sketchbook, I need to finish one of the other pages I started. I drew her at the ages of 12 and 16, respectively. Then I finished my watercolor pet project with cartoon Kenta, his cat and this baby boy Takeshi. Not happy with how the cat's colors came out but I am limited with my colored pencils (both regular and watercolor) so I made an amateur attempt at blending blue with gray (I imagine a blue gray color). I bought a waterbrush last weekend and used it on this picture because I got tired of the old cheap brush misbehaving while I was using it. At the moment, I had a little more control with the old fashioned brush but that's because I've never used a waterbrush before now. I learned to let gravity bring the water down to the paper. And today, scrolling through my Tumblr dashboard brings up a lot of Frozen the Broadway because I am following a lovely fanfic writer/cosplayer who goes by wintermoonqueen and is very excited for it, and Anna is going to be supremely awkward in the show so there's my renditions of a couple of stills from the show. Yes, that's a cartoon version of John Riddle. Anna is leaning more towards her movie version but I did incorporate some of Patti Murin's Anna into how I drew her. I knew Anna was touchy feely, but she's taking it to a whole new level. Oh, I finally got my driver's license! I did like the pig in Zootopia, looking away from the camera when taking the picture but I got a good picture anyway...? I'm getting my bed and next week I'll start saving up to get my car running so that I don't have to depend on my parents (my mom mostly) so much anymore. I hope to come back next week with more doodles, even with my hectic schedule. 

Modern Monday

      Hello! Let's start this week with fresh doodles:  

Oh look, it's modern!Frozen stuff. The north is getting tortured with the cold and getting hit with northeasters so I drew the doodle up top last Friday of 75% of the crew bundled up... Elsa has forgotten how to pretend to be normal ever since letting go... I obviously like the whole couple-wearing-one-scarf thing since I did it here with Kristanna. As much as I ship Helsa, I figure Hans wouldn't want to be right next the weirdo wearing a tank top and eating a Popsicle in such freakishly cold weather. I accidentally made a joke 😨 And today I got ahead of myself and drew Hans in a tuxedo. He's dressed to the nines but isn't sure if his dance partner is going to take his hand or not. The night of the Oscars, I made a quick sketch of Jimmy Kimmel's tuxedo jacket for future reference for this piece (yes, I used my sketch as reference) because I never see a man in a tuxedo outside of TV, living in South Florida where 95-98% of the people don't know how to dress because they spend 95% of the time dressed casual with flip flops as shoes (why do I keep using percentages?). His bowtie is actually his cravat he tied into a bow. Did he not find his bowtie in his luggage? Did he forget to pack it? (My headcanon is that he packed with the essentials for starting a life in Arendelle... How else did he have a coat of his own in the movie unless he was expecting to experience winter in Arendelle eventually? Yes, that's his coat because the designs on it don't match that of the guards' coats but do match those of his other clothes.) Did he wear it as a cravat at first but then have second thoughts while wearing it in that fashion? He clearly didn't have a problem with pairing the suit with the boots. 😆 Frozen the Broadway is opening soon but I have to get so much done, like get myself a bed, my driver's license, and my car running. It's on the wishlist along with Hamilton (although my family is like all excited that he's gonna open it in Puerto Rico next year). Well, I have work till Friday (Saturday counts as next week according to my job's scheduling) so let's see if I come back this week with more doodles or not. Toodles.
