My annual holiday card - generically winter-themed (because I have a pretty new dress for Victoria :p).

( Under the cut. )

In other news, I went to make tea last night and found that the water in the kettle was frozen. In the tea kettle, on the stove. That's how cold it is around here. The snow is so high, the Scotties disappear behind the drifts. Also the kitchen sink is blocked and the plumber is coming tomorrow. I also have a cold.

Happy Christmas!

So, I recently got my Poser programme up and running again, after a long separation where we sorted out our feelings and decided to try to make it work. I ended up making a picture of Molly Carpenter, from the Dresden Files.

Spoilerish for Proven Guilty onwards, I suppose.

This last weekend was CNAnime in Toronto, which is an anime/sci fi con. I was going to go, but ended up not being well enough for long distance traveling yet. Amalie went, however. She cosplayed Kaylee, with a parasol she painted and it looked great (I haven't seen pictures yet to know how the rest of the costume worked out). She had tried to lure me there with promises of Jamie Bamber but he ended up canceling (I had feeling he would, I don't know why), so I didn't miss out on anything. I gave her some money to pick me up something, though, and she brought me the Doctor Who Encyclopedia of Time and Space, which is basically everything from series 1-3 in handy alphabetical order. It has characters, phone numbers, songs playing, places, planets, monsters, years, everything. It'll be great for fanfic. Also, should anyone need to know what the name of that character in that scene in that episode is, I may be able to help.

In other Who related matters...

Ever since I saw a scene in Journey's End, this idea for a wallpaper has been in my head. I started it and it'd taken me this long to really sit down to get it right. I thought I'd share it here, since there are Who fans around and I'm going to wait for a icon post to post it on my graphics journal. I'm being vague about it's contents for fear of spoilers, find out more under the cut.

Fandom related only in that I was trying to make an original character in a story I have in my head in Poser. I didn't have anything to do with her until the blackout when the idea for the image came to me as I watched my mother running around the house with the LED lantern. So I used the character to be my chick with a lantern and voila. The quality is a bit wonky due to saving it small enough to host places.

In other news: guess who has SG-1 Season 10 on DVD? Me! Mum and I needed something to watch while she's frantically knitting and I'm frantically cross-stitching, so we rented them. Yays!

Every year I make a Christmas card with my Poser program. This is 2007's image:

( Happy Holidays )

With her fiery butterflies from Proven Guilty (Dresden Files Book 7, I believe) that immediately demanded art-making. No spoilers. Just the Summer Lady of faerie, via my head.

The Summer Lady

My friend Ama asked me to make a picture of the scene from 'Gravel Peril',the third Dresden Files book, when Harry sees Murphy using his Sight.
