Daily Sketch Challenge. Tumblr is an increasing disappointment.

So last post I commented upon how I've been using Tumblr to host the sketches of my Drawing-a-day for 2012 challenge, and that I've also taken part of ANOTHER daily drawing challenge with the good folks over at satellitesoda.com

Well, the drawings I've been doing for the Satellite Soda thing, I've been putting up on Tumblr, and then linking them to the Satellite Soda forum. And they are NOT showing up. Great.

Someone might know why, but I do not. Therefore, I'm re-posting the comic thus far, (the first 10 panels) here, and then going to re-post them over there, because I've been able to link from my blogger account. So. Here goes.

Days 1-4. I drew them side by side, and here I decided to released them in the same image.
Days 5-10. Yes, day 5 is blank. I missed that Sunday.

Daily Sketch Challenge...(aka My Tumblr is down)

A few of my internet artist-friends are doing a sketch for every single day of 2012. So far... so good...

Except... I have a Tumblr account that I post these daily-sketches; Which I've only had for about a month and a half (that I started using at teh beginning of this year-long experiment) and it is a LOT buggier than I'd like. Today, it flat-out won't update images at all. It's a real pain in the ass for something that promises to be a really easy blogging experience.

Well, since it's been hours and I still can't upload images, I'm doing it here.

To see everything I've done up to now, check out the Tumblr feed, Thepartyboatisalsohere (yeah, great title, eh?

There's also a February Daily drawing challenge over at the Satellite Soda message boards... I'm doing a 29 "panel" sequence for the month of Februrary. And that's what this image is for. it's day 7 of that story...

Don't make much sense? well, it might make sense on February 29th. Read it in context, That's over here...

And y'know, check out the amazing art by the people who got me into this insane YEAR LONG sketch challenge.

Captain Chants (Tumblr, website)
Shaz EggaBo (Tumblr, website)
Alex Picar (Tumblr, website)
Timmy Cupcakes (Tumblr... Hey Timmy, you got a website? lemme know. I'll plug it)
(there are more doin this challenge, but these are the folks I chat with most to keep me goin....)

Wibbly Wobbly, Timey Wimey, Matrimony

I don't always take commissions. But when I do, I make sure the project is awesome.

So when Joe dropped me a line and wanted his brother and soon-to-be sister-in-law flying away in the TARDIS, Just Married, with a bunch of Dalek and Cybermen parts dangling from the back (instead of tin cans)... I said Allons-y!

(Well, no, I actually said "yes" and then we talked price... but you know what I mean)

Viola.

A note of the image: I do have a scan of this image, it's in four parts (because the art was larger than my scanner) and I have to stitch it together in Photoshop. But the problem is, my computer currently can't do heavy lifting in Photoshop because it starts to overheat & sound like a plane trying to take off. I gotta get the computer fixed* So until then, here is a photo of the finished piece, framed, straight from the Alta, Timelord Bride herself!

Congratulations, Alta and Peter! All the happiest to you.

*or I might even need a new computer... :(

Protecting the world from evil.

How was it that this powerhouse duo came to be the protectors of this world? Lynn St. Martin remembers it thusly... "the way I remember it, Amanda expressed her hatred of sharks, I expressed my hatred of pandas (they are evil), and we offered to take care of the other for each other."

Thus began a century of a subtle blend of anarchy and justice. When asked about the violence against panda-kind, Amanda countered with
"He had flames coming out of his mouth! What was I gonna do? Hug it?"


Fight on!

HOW ABOUT A LITTLE CROSS-PROMOTION CRAZINESS, PLAYA?!?

My good buddy Amanda is quite the intarweb social-media warrior. Community content co-ordinator of Spill.com, she also ranks among the earliest of Twitter-ers, and she has a vacation home built right on the cutting edge of Memes, Lulz & general internet tomfoolery, AND has an upcoming Video Game Podcast coming up on Lounge Geeks SOON! Smart!

I did this humble little drawing of her. See how casual she is about her rad-ness.

soon after this pic was taken, she turned into a blue lazer & flew into the air like Mega Man.

Follow her on Twitter!
Visit her on Spill!
Watch her show (eventually) on Lounge Geeks!
(and heck, because she turned me onto it, watch one of her favorite web programmes here!)
