Weekly Roundup #9

This week was incredibly difficult. I wrote a lot for my WIP, I played a lot of music, I had a needs assessment for uni and my brain basically melted into a puddle. So that was fun.

 

This week I’ve been reading (links to Goodreads)

• The Little Mermaid (Hans Christian Anderson)
• The Jungle Book (Rudyard Kipling)
• Conversations With Friends (Sally Rooney)
• The Other Shore: A New Translation of the Heart Sutra with Commentaries (Thich Nhat Hanh)
• Ghost World (Daniel Clowes)

 

• Kwik Review: The Whale Rider (Witi Ihimaera) –  A story of whales, mythology, history and culture. A must read.
• Unboxing: Books That Matter (Image Heavy) – A sweet new Subscription Box
• #FanArtFriday – A quick Snorlax
• Professionals Choice: Conversations With Friends (Sally Rooney) – Beautifully written, wonderfully engaging and a really super read.

!FAF Banner!

This weeks #FanArtFriday features Bean (Princess Tiabeanie) from Matt Groening’s Disenchanment. It’s not great, but it had it’s moments.

This week’s #FanArtFriday features BoJack Horseman. Mainly because I was watching it at the time. I’m experimenting with the different features of my doodling app – quite liking this style.

This weeks #FanArtFriday features Wendy Corduroy for Disney’s Gravity Falls. Wendy is my favourite character – she’s just like the girl I see in my head. Also, I have a headcanon that she is trans (and so is Dipper).

This week’s #FanArtFriday is Dr Who, which I’m in the process of re-watching (AGAIN). This features my favourite doctor, Nine. Also included as a special bonus is the tattoo design I’m planning on getting when I can afford it.

Tattoo Design: 

Needs a bit of a re-draw so it has less obnoxious white space round the clock. Please note the clock hands point to 9 and 12, my favourite doctors 🙂

Hush somebodies, I know it’s a little late but my computer blew up!

Introducing an exciting NEW feature:

Art seems to be therapeutic so I’m taking any and all excuses to do some. I intend to just do random pics of things I’ve been enjoying this week in my signature Ragdoll style. So enjoy it.

I’ve already done 3 so I’ll post them all here, and then I’ll try and do one a week from now on.

First up is MYLK. Mylk is an awesome singer/songwriter/producer and I’ve been going super wild for her music over the last couple of weeks. You can check it out on her soundcloud here: Mylk – Soundcloud

Next up is Belzebubs – my favourite web comic, and as it turns out a pretty rockin’ band too! I made this after seeing the video for their song ‘The Blackened Call’ which you should definitely listen to because it’s GREAT!

And finally, we have a front cover for a non-existent book in the Amelia Fang series (by Laura Ellen Anderson). I absolutely adore her art style and when she asked on twitter for people to draw Miss Fang in our own styles I wasn’t going to turn down the chance.

So that’s #FanArtFriday, looking forward to next weeks!
