januar, janvier, january

one: I really need a BtVS and/or AtS icon. But it's so hard to choose!

two: month_of_meta has started! I haven't read any of the posts yet, but I'm looking forward to it.

three: Mark Watches is about to start watching Buffy season four and Angel season one! He posted his predictions today, and you can't help but laugh and think, "Mark, you are so not prepared." I'm thinking of watching the episodes as he does. It should be fun. Also! Apparently he's going to read The Princes Bride next on Mark Reads. Since I own the book (a birthday present) but have never actually read it, I'm also thinking of reading along with him. Man, this was a long bullet point.

four: Weather in the midwest continues to crack me up, despite living here all my life. Yesterday it was 70 degrees and I left work at 6:30pm in a short sleeve top with my jacket over my arm. This morning I looked out the window to see big fat snowflakes falling! The snow's all melted now, for the most part, but it's still cold outside. Come back, warm weather! I was enjoying you!

five: I made three more A Softer World/Buffy the Vampire Slayer remixes the other day and posted them on tumblr. I'll post them here as well, for your viewing convience.

As soon as I saw the softer world comic, I had to make this remix.

( spoilers for all four X-Men movies )

Today's fandom post is probably going to be the shortest of them all.

A SOFTER WORLD
A Softer World is a webcomic by Emily Horne and Joey Comeau. Emily takes pictures and arranges them in a three panel (sometimes six) format, then Joey puts text to it. The subjects range all over the place, and can "sad or harsh" (their words) at times.

Despite that, the comic has spawned a whole bunch of remixes, using screencaps from different fandoms. You'll notice that half the links go to remixes by one particular person. That is because she and her remixes are awesome, and her remixes are what got me hooked, both on the original comic and different remixes, plus got me making them myself.

On to the comics!

I decided to have my hand at making a Doctor Who version of an asofterworld.com comic. I'm not completely happy with it, but at least it's not complete rubbish, I hope? Making one using just Paint isn't that easy.

Doing that drawing earlier put me in a sketching mood.

( A couple of sketches, based off of pictures. Not happy with the faces, and definitely not happy with the hands (I really suck at hands). )
