A miscellany of postings - art, 100 days etc

[amberdreams]

First off, I've done a new picture of Gadreel and I'm thinking of getting it printed for Tahmoh to sign in Rome.

I hope he's not easily embarrassed...LOL!
I drew it without any refs first in biro and pencil, then popped it into Photoshop to colour and make it look more like him in the face at any rate, I'm only guessing what his bum is like...hee!

I've got to say, Photoshop and GIMP are a godsend to a lazy bugger like me. It's so much easier to play around and make adjustments and correct mistakes in there than it is on paper! And the ability to enhance a picture with a texture or two and playing with the layers is just too tempting...
So anyway, Gadreel and his perky buttocks are my 100 Days of Happiness Day 57
Days 54, 55 and 56 are as follows:
Stewed rhubarb and custard, mmm yummy! I don't often have rhubarb because Paul doesn't like it, and also it seems to be rather expensive, but I got a big bundle in M&S for only 99p - bargain!

Got my Euros for Rome! Squee! That step closer to Jus in Bello....

And this, my friends, is where I keep my soul. In a jar on the windowsill in the conservatory where it can soak up sunshine during the day and shine all night. Where do you keep yours?

OOOH, I LIKE! I love Tahmoh, which was why 9.18 was so weird for me, when his acting went south for no reason I could see. But he was MUCH better in 9.21, so maybe it was just weird direction! Anyway, I loved him on BSG and Dollhouse as well as SPN, so I would LOVE to hear about his reaction if you ask him to autograph the drawing. Maybe he'll give you an idea of the accuracy of the bum-likeness. Mmmmm.... Tahmoh bum... ;-)

And love the soul-jar, too.

The soul jar thing only came to me as I posted the pic and I realised that is exactly what it must be! LOL

I admit he was the one thing I really liked about Dollhouse, I get to see him twice this year as he's down to come to Birmingham in October too!

I just realized, as I was going through my comments to see what I still needed to respond to, that your soul jar pic must've planted the seed for my ficlet How Sam Got His Groove Back. I wrote it write after I commented on that pic here... just started thinking in a melancholy way about how Sam might've felt when he released the souls. So thanks for the inspiration! <3

His wings are so beautifully, wrenchingly wretched. Gorgeous!

. . . you're making a habit of drawing delicious derrieres these days. NICE!!

Um yes, I had intended to draw him standing and clothed but this happened...
Thank you! I wasn't sure about the wings so I'm happy you like them.

I like the character as he plays him very much! This picture manages to be unsettling as well as sad--I'd say you totally nailed Gadreel!

Your soul is lovely, btw. ;D

I love your jar of soul :D It's such a beautiful thing.

Have all the fun at the convention, getting a butt signed! :D Report back.

Your bum art is without rival. :) And the custard looks yummy.

[siennavie.livejournal.com]

That's a mighty fine bum *\o/*

Those disturbing broken wings are impressive! And you can ask Tahmoh to sign on that bottom :)))

[madebyme-x.livejournal.com]

Wow, those broken wings are perfect! What a hauntingly beautiful piece. It would look extra perfect with a signature though!

Ahh, rhubarb and custard, it reminds me of my childhood. My mum still grows it in her garden so luckily for me I get it for free. Yummy.
