DovahBilbo

I don’t doodle enough. And when I have been doodling these days, it’s Bilbo Baggins in between the Squires of Dimness. And dragons. Sometimes dragons. If you’ve taken an unfortunate turn around the interwebs and ended up either on my tumblr or Instagram, you may have caught a few of my fandom mashups. My favorite, lately, has been drawing Bilbo if he somehow ended up in Tamriel after a wrong turn passing through Bree…or something. And he discovers he’s the Dragonborn.

Who needs the One Ring when you’ve got Dragon shouts? Well, being invisible sure helps. I was almost going to draw Smaug as Smauglock. But I’ll leave that to the experts.

And while DovahBilbo finds new words of power, Thorin Oakenshield deals with having Apple Maps.

No, YOU come get me.

Sigh. Oh Thorin. Your diva ‘tude. Biblo will have none of it.

Nope

Doodles, foodles, and shame

So I promised myself I’d keep this blog updated. And I’m kinda keeping that promise, like, in thought. And then I thought about how I can keep everything in one blog. I can’t seem to let go of either!

So there it is – doodles on tumblr, doodles on Instagram, and some leftovers here.

Sorry :(!

But anyhoo, this blog is too special to me to actually want to drop it. I almost thought of directing everything to my tumblr where everything’s kinda willy nilly there. All these feels. I can’t even. I can’t I CAN’T

Anyway…

While I still struggle with how I still want to utilize this blog – maybe you might catch some of my doodles I lazily share on Instagram which I have automatically post to my tumblr.

And speaking of tumblr – the Squires of Dimness are (kind of) back!

The Sketchbook Project 2012 and….2013!

The Starving Squire

Howdy all! As I try to bring this blog back to life (for the umpteenth time) – I wanted to update about my participation in the 2012 Sketchbook project! I’m pretty proud of this one as I actually did something with the cover as you see here.

The subject I picked for this one was “Sandwich” – and I, for the most part, went the literal route of the theme. Like my last sketchbook, I wanted to have some interactive bits. It’s hard to tell in the digitized version but viewers are able to swap out the panels of the pages doodled with giant sandwiches.

BUT if the Sketchbook Project 2012 is coming to your part of town, check out my book (literally!) and see how many sandwich combos you can make!

I’m also taking part in next year’s Sketchbook project. Until I saw the list of themes, I pretty much decided I wasn’t going to do this again. But the “Atlas” theme drew me in, and I’m quite happy it did!

There’s definitely a lot of time to sign up!

Post Halloween and The Sketchbook Project 2012

The undead are interested in current events, right?

I seriously meant to post this closer to Halloween – BUT I can say I posted the last two zombie Squires just in time!

Head over and see what an undead Squire Thorn prefers over coconut and how being undead doesn’t stop Squire D from keeping up with current news.

Speaking of Halloween – I actually made my costume this year! Wanna see? If you brave the additional posts, it’s pretty easy to see why I picked that fandom to base my costume (or rather, accessory) on. This was probably the first time I took a lot of time to make something I was proud to show off for Halloween. And it was definitely a ton of fun to make!

In additional creative news – I finally got the ball rolling on my Sketchbook Project 2012! My theme is “Sandwich”. Anything that has to do with edibles gets my attention. Any of you doing the project too?

Uh…so as a NIN fangirl, I’m REALLY behind on what Mr. Reznor is doing. But I did catch some teaser. And after cleaning up around my place I remembered an empty Moleskine notebook, and remembering Harriet’s diary gave me a brilliantly silly idea to create diary entries for our dear Squires. If they had anything interesting to write about. Welp, let’s see how that goes!

Squires of Undeadness

Protect your brain or your ice cream?

Halloween’s almost here! Though, I like celebrating Halloween throughout the entire month of October. So I had a tough choice – SoD comic or SoD doodles with each Squire in a costume.

Since I’ve done the costume thing (though, very badly), I went the zombie route. I was never really much into the zombie craze until now, or at least until I realized how else I can use some of these markers sitting around – particularly the light blues and purples.

So head over to the SoD Archive and see the first two of the SoD Zombie apocalypse! The next two will be posted throughout the month. Hide your brains, and don’t tick off any undead Italians!
