I just...

Wh...

Oh my word. Seriously gripping. And no over-the-top RTD schmaltzy "fire and ice and the storm in the heart of the sun", or, at least, done properly and less over the top, or something...I...watch the hell out of this.

Modern Doctor Who done properly, maybe you disagree but...I think this is one of the best things RTD has done (with some help).

...

Oh ok, maybe except for the stupid robot and the scene with the young Captain Brooke, but hey, nobody's perfect.

And now to undo all that good work with the Xmas special! If you've seen the trailer for it, you can probably have a stab at why that's my opinion. xP

Anyway, yes, Waters of Mars, very good indeed.

Short story long:

Just got back from a trip to CERN! That would be, of course, the place that houses the Large Hadron Collider amongst other things. I was essentially acting as cameraman/soundman/general dogsbody for a friend of mine who's making a short video for his 2nd year Science Communication project - somehow he managed to wrangle us invites to come and have a look round. I'd love to be able to say I saw the LHC, but unfortunately that's under tighter control. BUT I did get to see the AD, which is the antiproton decelerator and plenty of other funky science stuff - plenty of pics on flickr, some to go up here on dA soon.

Also, plush electron! Check it out! [link]

The only downside? Could NOT get a decent cup of tea anywhere.


Stereotypically British, but true

^^

As much as I like deviantART for photos (and believe me I really do, it's fantastic) I thought Flickr would be worth having an account with as well. Stops my gallery here getting choked up with the hundreds of photos I take - I'll still put a few choice ones up here now and then though.

Plus it allows me to use my dA account to focus on the other things I like to do, i.e. drawing and comic-making.

Speaking of comics, in fact, the great podcasters at Bridging the Rift were kind enough to mention my AnyWho comics in their latest podcast! Give it a listen, I tells ya. Click for much awesomeness, courtesy of and co, with special guest ! [link]

On the AnyWho front (and after all the kind words in the podcast >.> ), I feel I have to apologise for the drying up of the comics. My inspiration kind of shifted gears when the last series finished (as a look in my gallery will tell you), but never say never as they say, so AnyWho will be making a reappearance at some point, and that's a promise.

Until then I hope you can put up with my erratic drawing, updating, photo-taking and occasional rantings/blatherings

Stay cool!

21 today - I'ma getting on a bit now, the days of youth are slooowly crumbling away...woe is me etc etc

Luckily I have a large selection of comics, chocolates, a new mug and a Watchmen DVD to keep me happy so it's all good

In other news, I passed 20,000 pageviews the other day - woo! Thanks to everyone! In other other news, it's nearly time to move into my student house and start up my second year of Uni - eep. Fun times! Probably means I'll be back to my infrequent updating ways thanks to mountains of drink...uh, I mean, work...but I'll try to keep doing things for dA, I will.

We'll see how that goes, and thanks again to everyone for all the views, faves, comments, watches and so on! Huzzah!

Peace out

"Supposedly, the interior of the TARDIS will have two different levels, joined by a spiral staircase, and we'll be seeing a console room, a lab area, a sitting room, a long corridor, and "numerous other little nooks and crannies"

This I quite like, I've always wanted to see more of the inside of the TARDIS as so far in the new series..es we've been limited to just the control room with a quick jaunt to the Doctor's wardrobe. Plus I like the idea of the Doctor having a lab xP.

However, then there's this:

"The console room itself is a shaped like a hexagon attached to a square rather than being circular, the color theme is mostly silver and gold, and the coral finish has been replaced with marble. The roundels decorating the walls are now inverted hemispheres, and while they appear throughout the set, they do not appear on every wall. The roundels have different color schemes for each room: gold in the console room, silver, gray, and blue in the lab, and brown in the sitting room."

Ugh, I was dreading this sort of thing. I really liked the coral/steampunk/junkyard feel of the TARDIS, it made the Doctor and his magical ship seem more human and relatable. Going all out with marble is very old-school, and it could be that they're trying to play up his God-like...ness..., but either way...I dunno, not sold.

But of course this could all be lies and deceit, and given that it's from a forum poster who claims to have seen inside the set large grains of salt are recommended to be taken with this.

Although, I've just been watching The Talons of Weng-Chiang and that doesn't feature the inside of the TARDIS once and yet still manages to be pretty awesome. Because Tom Baker in Victorian London, that's why.

SO! Anyway! True or not, what do you guys make of the (possibly) new TARDIS interior? I know a lot of you (especially a certain Canadian) will hate it, and some of you old-school types will love it...

Until we get official pics, keep it real true believers

Oh ha, you see what I did there? I'm back from Scotland and...y'know...Back to the Future, Doc Brown says that...

*cricket noise*

>.>

ANYWAY!

Had a good (if more than a little crazy) time up in Edinburgh, took a lot of photos, some of which will likely make their way into my gallery. Saw a few shows, one of which was a play about Zombie survivors - and that was nowhere NEAR the strangest thing that was on. XD

Oh and one other crazy thing that happened while I was up there - I was out at the Royal Mile, checking out all the street performers and pamphlet people, and my legs were killing me so I had a quick rest on a stone bollard - literally as soon as I sat down, Alan Cumming walked right in front of me. No seriously. That guy. (For the geeky among you he's Nightcrawler out of X-Men and Boris McRussianName from Goldeneye, presumably he's been in other things that I can't remember because I am a huge geek)

Stupid thing is I had turned my camera off! Curses, there goes my future career as a paperazzi, which is probably just as well.

But still, Edinburgh is a lovely place to go at any time, not just for the Fringe or any other festival. I recommend it! Although the Fringe is definitely worth going to. I do however suggest you plan what you're going to do if you do go to the Fringe, I bloody well wish I had XD

There, and all without a single Scottish stereotype...och aye the noo!

Oh bugger...

Going up to Edinburgh for the Fringe/Festival - should be good! ^^

So anyways, those be the haps

[link] <- Official BBC News article

Seems like there's a bit of a paradox going on, in that Matt Smith is the youngest Doctor but he's dressing very much like an old man/geography teacher, which is very different to the first photos we saw - this, in my book, is A Good Thing.

Also, have a look at some more on-set photos: [link]

Looks like the TARDIS has been given an update as well! Well, I say update, but in fact it seems to have reverted to a much earlier model (see the St John's Ambulance badge? Very Old School) and it seems a lot bigger as well.

If you ask me all of this points towards a return to the style of the older, traditional Doctor Who and away from the big Hollywood-ized, cheesefest that RTD's Who could be at times. And I think it's about time.

If anything, Tennant's Doctor was almost too good - he became a sex symbol, an action man and a God-like figure in show, and really that's not what the Doctor should be like, at least not all the time. A geeky, mysterious, weird-looking, anachronistic man is exactly what the Doctor should be.

Put simply, it's a refreshing change to have the companion be the one wearing the Converse

(Oh yes, about her, she's still hot xD)

So thumbs up from me! Can't wait to see how this all turns out.

EDIT: More change!

As well as everything else, it appears that the Sonic Screwdriver is also getting an overhaul - pics here: [link]

I'm sorry but...do not want. It's too shiny and polished, I liked the rough-around-the-edges look of the old one (same goes for the TARDIS interior, which I'm starting to worry about). There is at least an explanation for the change, presumably he gives his old one to River Song as implied in Forest of the Dead.

Next up will likely be a new TARDIS interior, and I'm concerned it'll have the same problems as this new Sonic Screwdriver. Really seems like Moffat is trying to pretend that RTD's Who never happened, or at least make us forget all about it. Hmm. :/

]]> ~willmeister42 http://willmeister42.deviantart.com/journal/25276942/ http://willmeister42.deviantart.com/journal/25276942/ Fri, 12 Jun 2009 16:34:03 PDT

ANYWAY.

I'm back at home for summer now, so there'll likely be some more updates from me - can't guarantee any AnyWho, there isn't really much to go on until Waters of Mars and that won't be for a good while yet, but you never know. What you can expect is some more photography and Superverse stuff, which I hope you'll enjoy as well.

All in all it was a pretty great first year of Uni, and I'm going to miss living in halls. Passed all but one module, but that's good enough to get into the next year so no complaints from me.

Hope everyone's having a good summer so far, and good luck to those of you who have exams soon, which I know is likely to be a fair few of you.

So yeah, that about wraps up this particular sit-rep. Oh, except for wild 'Who rumours and speculation - a lot of stuff is flying around about Timothy Dalton appearing as a high-ranking Timelord, either in flashbacks or some big story arc that brings back Gallifrey

Of course these things are to be taken with liberal helpings of grains of salt, so who knows.

Oh and one last thing, I friggin' love Spotify

Peace out everybody

You may or may not recognise her from The Fires of Pompeii, in which she played a soothsayer. I didn't, has to be said and it's a small enough part to not be screwing with continuity, plus it's history which lets the writers say "Ooh they're just related"

But anyway, I'm pretty happy with this choice based on what Moffat has been saying (it's in the article), plus she's a Scottish redhead, my two weaknesses XD

There's the issue of age, again, in that she's only 21, but that's less of an issue with the companion/companions than with the Doctor. If you think about it, having a young companion with a young Doctor makes sense, the bigger the age gap the creepier it gets (these days anyway, not so much of a problem in the olden times).

Hopefully having younger actors in the main roles won't make this, to borrow a phrase, Hollyoaks in Space - I think Moffat has more sense than that.

So, basically, I'm pretty happy with this, but be warned Moffat - I'm putting my trust in you so don't let me (and everyone else) down!

(I'm not planning on doing anything celebratory until I get to 20,000 so watch out for that when/if it happens)

Anyway, pageviews aside (if I ever use the word "kiriban" you have permission to slap me upside the head), exam time is looming imminently so revision is the order of the day and will be for a while yet. Consequently I probably won't, or at least shouldn't (no disrespect, just got to get my priorities right) be too active for a while.

Just in case anyone was wondering, the AnyWho "Extra" comic I put up is the sort of thing you might see a bit more of in the future, they're much easier and quicker to do so I guess it's a kind of filler or just something quick and daft. Plus my ideas don't always work when I try and make a proper comic, so there's that as well.

(Not that I'm going to stop doing "proper" comics, just that these will pop up as well, and probably more frequently)

And of course the hunt/decisions/figuring out what to do re: my own site is still...ongoing, but nothing has really happened on that front yet >.>

So there you have it, update...updated

If you guessed me you guessed correctly

So yeah, it's been two years since I first joined devART and started sharing my stuff, and what a two years it's been

What better time then to thank each and every one of you who has ever commented, faved, watched, visited, replied, gave me advice, helped out and above all inspired me. You've no idea how much I appreciate it all, cliched as it sounds (but it's true so there).

dA is a great place, full of great art and great people and I'm so glad I joined, it's given me a creative outlet which I now realise I sorely, sorely need and it inspires me to be even more creative and to keep trying to improve.

So thanks dA, you and everyone in it.

And here's to another two years!

Cheers!

And now...celebratory two-year happy dAnce!

Planet of the Dead airs on Saturday, and to celebrate...

...YES I AM GOING TO MAKE ANOTHER ANYWHO COMIC.

I'm off from Uni, I've got the time, I've got the resources and dammit I've got the drive back thanks to Who's imminent return.

So expect it to be up and done before Saturday, and I mean it this time! No seriously.

Also, how badass does The Doctor look in this promotional image?

(Hint: The answer is pretty damn badass)

The good news is I'm home for a month, and my first year's worth of Uni lectures is now over - the bad news is when I go back it's exam time :/

But then after that it's the summer holidays, so plenty of free time for me! So if you're hoping for AnyWho updates, that'll likely be when they happen. Or any major updates of any kind I suppose

In other news, I'm ordering a printer/scanner/copier thing so you can expect an increase in the number of sketches and so on that I upload, which will most likely be for my Superverse stuff.

As for everything else, expect the usual sporadic photography updates as is my nature >.>

But yeah, all change now.

Sorry if this comes off a bit down, I'm in a weird mood today. <.<

Tell you what, to change the mood lets have a few links to some awesome things I've been looking at.

Gunnerkrigg Court - amazing webcomic, sat down and read through the whole thing, just fantastic.

Dr McNinja - another webcomic, and exactly as awesome as it sounds. : D

Project Rooftop - superhero re-design blog, you might spot some devious persons stuff up there.

This video - AMAZING Watchmen/WALL-E trailer mashup, can't stop watching it xD

Also this video of Jupiter passing behind the Sun, as captured by NASA's STEREO spacecraft. Beyond awesome.

Stay classy, peace out

Did good job of adapting comic to big screen. Changes from book didn't detract significantly. Performances of Nite Owl and Rorshach especially good - award material? Must investigate further.

Two complaints.

The indestructable man could've done with some dignity. Also songs seemed out of place.

Good film otherwise.

Well worth seeing.

"I probably didn't have an account on here the first time I saw the Anywho comics so now... I CAN FINALLY FAVE THEM!!!

I've noticed you have hardly been doing them lately. I WANNA SEE MORE ANYWHO COMICS!!!"

So yeah, I've not been doing AnyWho comics recently, but I have to admit to doing other things instead and not just not doing anything.

Also, I don't appreciate people *demanding* more comics - I'm not a comic factory to plop these things out on demand, although perhaps that's being a bit harsh. I don't do this for "a living", so maybe I don't feel like I have to put them out all the time. But still I do want to do more AnyWho, it's just that there are so many other things I want to do as well, I like to think I'm a pretty creative person so I enjoy branching out and doing new things.

There's the Photography, which I really enjoy, and more recently my drawings and superhero creations which I also really enjoy. Obviously I know most of you would love to see more AnyWho, but at the end of the day I'm not a one-trick pony.

Plus at the moment we're in a bit of 'Who dry spell, the only real news was Matt Smith being revealed as the 11th Doctor so there's a bit less material to work with.

I'm sorry to have disappointed everyone with the lack of comics, but it seems my drive to make them has dried up as of late. I don't want to leave you guys hanging though, so I'm not going to stop making them. I'll try and get back into things soon, and if nothing happens in the next two or three months blame Uni - luckily it's summer holidays after that so there's plenty of time to get things done then. =]

So yeah, I hope you guys can put up with my random other things and I'm sorry to have let AnyWho fade away a bit >.>

Currently when set to "nested" AND "threaded", they look like this: [link]

As opposed to the one-under-the-other thing that they're supposed to look like. Anyone else having this problem, or is it just me?

But yeah, it's been snowing a lot - certainly a lot more than I remember having seen for a while.

Snow makes me happy. I still find it a bit magical, even though I'm, what, 20? Some things you just don't want to grow out of.

I know it's a pain in the backside for drivers, people getting to work and public transport...but when you're outside and everything's covered in white...it's just brilliant. It's the only form of precipitation you can really have fun with.

I don't ever want to stop feeling like this about it. I ain't growing up any time soon, lest I lose my sense of wonder about everything. Yeah yeah pretentious blah, but that's how it is.

I'd seen it around the place a few times, guess that was the beta testing - nice to have it in place now though! I very much like the fact that you can re-arrange the various sections of your page, plus there seem to be one or two new features for non-subscribers (?) such as the "Friends" box, unless that was always there and I never figured out how to turn it on *derp derp*

So yes! Funkiness! Plus it fits with the message centre now, which is nice.

Oh and as a bit of heads-up, if I can find time next week there *may* (and I stress may) be a comic in the works. We'll see how much work gets me down (it's beginning to pile up), plus I've got house-hunting to do as well. So I may only get started on a comic, but I do want to have one done for you all as soon as I can. Wish me luck.



PS. Had to give another mention to PvP's recent few 'Who-related strips, specially seeing as Scott Kurtz (the excruciatingly talented man behind the strip) started drawing The Doctor: [link]

So yes, don't expect too much in the way of deviations from me too soon. I'm still throwing around AnyWho ideas as always, and hopefully I can find time to get some of them done. But given the amount of work I can expect to recieve I can't promise anything. <.<

[link] (British Actor)

And yes, I have no idea who he is either. But I've been watching his interview on Doctor Who confidential and I'm...well, reserving judgment until I see him in action. I'll also try and find some of his other stuff to watch, but he seems like a decent choice on first impressions. Not what anyone was expecting, that's for sure - plus he's the youngest Doctor ever at 26, but I hope they don't play up the youth angle too much.

So that's a lot of peoples' money lost on bets and so on!

At least it isn't Paterson Joseph.

So...yeah, this will leave a lot of people scratching their heads...the people behind the show seem confident though. =/

Here's hoping it was the right choice.

So much for 2008! Bring on 2009

Hope you all had a great year, and that you have a fantastic time in 2009 ^^

There may not be a new series of Doctor Who this year, but at least we've got the four planned specials to end David Tennant's career as the Doctor - and AnyWho will (hopefully) be there to cover them in Comicular form =]

I've been thinking about the future of the comic a fair amount recently, and I'm thinking that this year I might see if I can set up or find somewhere to host them other than Deviantart - not that they won't still be here, just that it would be nice to have a dedicated site for them. If I can find the time, that is...

What do you think, good idea/bad idea?

Any other input is welcome too

Anyway! Here's to the new year! May it be a cracking 12 months for you all!

Admittedly it got a bit silly towards the end, but then RTD does have a habit of going a tad overboard with big epic finales and so on - I mean take the end of the latest series for example.

David Morrisey was very good as the "other" Doctor, and it turned out that his identity wasn't as simple as it seemed. All I'll say (to keep things spoiler-free) is that my prediction a while ago was dead wrong. :/

Also, Dervla Kirwan (sp?) was very good as Miss Hartigan, her performance was definitely one of the highlights of the episode. I won't muck about though, Rosita was...umm...very predictable to be honest - a bit of a stock character if you ask me.

Still, on the whole I enjoyed it very much. Bring on the 2009 specials! ^^

----

Oh and sorry that I haven't got the comic up today, I was a bit lost for ideas so I thought I'd see what the Xmas special threw up in the way of inspiration - and you'll be pleased to know it did the trick, although it may end up being a bit spoilery if you've not seen "The Next Doctor". So expect that to be up soon. =]

Hope you're all having/have had a great Christmas and that you got a nice stash of goodies, which as we know is what Christmas is all about

(I'm very happy with my WALL-E DVD, I can tell you )

So Merry Christmas to all!

And roll on the new year! Wahey!

So anyway, I'm going to try and get a comic done soon - hopefully in time for Christmas. It may be Christmas themed, or even "The Next Doctor" themed, or just something random...depends on what I can come up with. I don't think it'll stretch to the length of the previous Xmas special, that was a *lot* of work and frankly I started doing it earlier last time >.>

Still, 1 x Comic coming your way as a little Christmas present!

Happy Holidays and all that

(Scroll down)

Please, no...let this be a...lie, or something. I can't deal with Paterson Joseph as the Doctor - he's a terrible actor! He's just a massive ham (acting term, not the edible kind). I mean did you see him in Jekyll? Awful! Plus he's also had a bit-part in Nine's series, in "Bad Wolf" as one of the gameshow contestants. PEOPLE DO NOT CARE ABOUT CONTINUITY >_>

I don't care if the new Doctor is black or not, either's fine by me - just not this guy!

And a new "desktop theme" for the TARDIS? Gah! I really hope this isn't true.

I wouldn't have believed that Stephen Moffat could actually make Doctor Who worse. I really hope he knows what the hell he's doing - the only way I'll be happy is if this isn't true, or somehow it magically all works. But I'm not holding my breath for the second option.

Goddammit >=[

Watch it, watch it NAO! (and if it won't play outside of the UK, just search "Doctor Who Children In Need 2008" and find an alternate link.)

The BBC screened this sneak peek during Children In Need on Friday night, and we finally get to see David Morrisey in action as the "other" Doctor!

Now, as to what this means for the show's future prospects...

...in my opinion, Morrisey won't be the next Doctor. From the looks of it his "Doctor" is impersonating the real Doctor, seeing as he's even copied some of the 10th Doctor's mannerisms, and if he were the next Doctor he'd have recognised 10.

Plus his Sonic Screwdriver is literally a Screwdriver. >.>

The other thing is that clip reminded me of how good David Tennant is in the role.

Damn I'm going to miss him as the Doctor.

Still, can't wait for the Christmas Special! ^^

This is why I hate the Daily Mail.

(Also this is what happens when you take David Tennant too seriously - no-one seems to realise that most of the time he's taking the piss - often in response to bloody stupid questions)

Asked if Miss Piper could take on the role, he said a female Doctor was a distinct possibility.

'Why not?' he said. 'It's one of those parts any actor could bring something valid to, because it can be anything and it's a blank canvas every time.

'The difference is a virtue with each Doctor. It's not like you're casting Tarzan where you've got to have somebody who looks good in a loincloth.'

I happen to think Billie Piper would look quite good in a loincloth, actually *cough* >.>

--------------------------------------------

Oh and yay Obama and all that - stayed up until 4:30am last night to watch the votes come in ^^

I've seen some stupid comments around the place about Obama (even on dA), not just against his policies but also against his race and faith. I long for a world where they don't f**king matter! This is why I'm so damn pleased that he's won - it's a huge step against prejudice to show that this can happen, not to say that there's any imperative that it should, just that the possibility is there and that's what really matters, in my opinion.



Change - yes you can, America. Make sure you do, in fact.

Peace and love man, peace and love

And please, don't suggest anything daft like a female Doctor. I'm not being sexist or anything, it's just that there are some things about the Doctor that you just don't change. Plus it would be a total shark-jump. >.>

My suggestion would be James Callis, the man who plays Gaius Baltar on the re-imagined BSG. I think he could pull it off fantastically well, with the right amount of swagger and arrogance. =]

Anyway, you tell me your ideas!

Go go go!

Here's the BBC news article on it for further confirmation, and DT also talks about why he's decided it's time to quit.

[link]

Now, David was/is a very good Doctor. But in all honesty this was always going to happen, and we all knew it. It was incredibly naive to think that he'd be in the part forever, although I had hoped that he'd be around for a Moffat-led series, because god knows that would be awesome.

So I've got no time for people who say they won't be watching the new series' simply because Tennant isn't the Doctor, or for people who bawl their eyes out over his leaving. I've got one message for them: GET OVER IT!

This is how Doctor Who works, the lead actor changes. I'd have loved Chris Eccleston to have stayed for more than one series, and I was very annoyed when he quit, but I'm now a fan of David Tennant's Doctor and I'm sure if they pick the right actor then I'll like the 11^th Doctor as well.

And please, please, PLEASE BBC, change the sort of person who plays the Doctor! If you change Tennant for a cheap knock-off version then what's the point. Make it interesting for crying out loud.

Anyway, that's just my opinion.

Peace

I think when I get back into the swing of all things devious I'll probably be making/uploading stuff on the weekend or possibly Wednesdays. That's all down to having 17 hours of lectures a week, not counting the numerous problem sheets and such we're set.

That said, I think I've probably had my most awesome AnyWho idea ever. If I can pull it off it should be great, but it might take a while. Until then you'll just have to be kept in suspense

Peace

Happened to me yesterday - I was at the Student Union booksale and in the sci-fi books there was one (I think it might have been "Timescape") in which scientists from the future coded a message into background radiation back in time to avert some huge disaster.

Admittedly my version involved cyclic universes and CMBR, not quite time travel, but other than that it's pretty similar. Weird.

Anyway I'm rambling. Plus that long journal needed excising =/

That means I probably won't be on, certainly not for long enough to write a big long journal like this one. I know some people complain about people airing their private stuff on devART (i.e. the famous "devART not devSPACE" stamp), but this concerns dA itself and you as well so to hell with it.

So here we go...

If it wasn't for you guys watching me, commenting, faving and generally appreciating what I do I might not have ended up on the course that I'm doing - Physics with Science Communication. You encouraged me to keep going with my comics and photography, which in turn made me develop my creative side that made me want to do Sci Comm. I honestly don't know what I'd do without dA, it gives me validation in some sense for my work - if I was just doing it without putting it out anywhere I'd probably have stopped a while ago.

This place and the community motivates me to improve and develop, and I love it for that. So before I go off to start a brand new phase of my life, I just wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone who's ever commented, faved, added me to their friends list, and to the people who I've added to my friends list, the people whose stuff I comment on and fave because your work inspires me to do better (while also providing something pretty to look at )

And probably most importantly of all you make me ask myself the question: what next? Not in a pessimistic, "oh now what" kind of way, but in a "Right, where can I go from here?" kind of way.

I want to move up, expand, get better, become a better photographer and comic-maker, move into bigger things...there's so much I want to do, and it's all because of you.

Sometimes I wish there was a bigger phrase than "Thank you", because I'd need it for the end of this journal.

DeviantART is part of my life. It's my creative outlet. It's one of the best things to happen to me. Viva la ART!

Thank you so much ^^

I'm 20 today ^^

It feels odd to not be a teenager any more, but in a good way. What with that and starting Uni soon I'm starting to feel like I'm growing up...

...

OK I couldn't keep a straight face there XD

But still, it feels good to be getting on with my life - onwards and upwards as they say!

Plus I got some pretty nice things this year; a book - Nation by Terry Pratchett- two graphic novels (Hellboy: Conqueror Worm and Batman: Year One), a Bunny Suicides poster, the Bluffer's Guide to University and some shot glasses!



So all in all it's pretty good being 20

I'm in the middle of making a comic though, and that will definitely be up very soon - and for once that's accurate, seeing as I've already started making it

I don't know what my arrangements will be internet-wise when I get into Halls, I do have access in my room but it'll be freshers week straight away so don't count on me to be very coherent, but the main point is I won't know how many hours of lectures and so on I'll have until shortly before they begin.

I'll let you know how much downtime I have once I know so you can get an idea of how active I'll be around here.

It feels damn good to be going, I can tell you that >.>

So there's a heads-up for ya, maybe a bit early but if I don't do it now I'll only forget to do it later.

Peace out ^^

Can I get a booyah? XD

It appears I've finally broken the five-figure ceiling!

Not that I stayed up all night waiting for it to go above 9,980 only to find this morning that it had gone up to 9,999 or anything

I even managed to capture the event [link]

Thanks so much to everyone who's visited my page, I really appreciate all the support I get from you as well.

To celebrate there's a spiffy celebratory AnyWho poster thingy, and I think this deserves some banging tunes to go along with it.

Thanks so much again!

Peace out everyone, keep spreading the love

I got a B in Maths, C in Physics and I'd already got a C in German last year. Not the most amazing results, but here's the kicker...

I GOT IN TO ROYAL HOLLOWAY UNIVERSITY!

Pardon my French, but F%@K YEAH!

As you can tell I'm immensely happy, seeing as I've worked so bloody hard for this. I can't tell you how much this means to me, it's the best news I've ever got.

Today truly is the first day of the rest of my life!

Only kidding folks! It's just lil' old me

Yes, I'm back from my wet, windy yet thoroughly enjoyable holiday! I've got plenty of material to upload for my photography section, so look out for that if you're interested. Oh and sorry about not getting that comic done before I left, but I'll have it for ya ASAP...yeah I know I always say that but luckily this time I haven't got too much that should get in the way.

The only downside at the moment is the sheer amount of catching up to do, seeing as I've had no internet for the past week. There's no way I can possibly respond to everything, so I'm going to say here and now: every single comment, fave and reply mean a hell of a lot to me, and starting today I'm clearing my inbox so that hopefully I can start again with a clean sheet. It sort of worked before, so hopefully it'll work again.

Again, infinite thanks to anyone who has commented and/or faved anything I've ever done, and massive apologies to those people who I haven't responded to.

...

OK, one last push on the more recent stuff and then it's clean sheet time. >.>

Peace as always

PS. Watchmen is awesome.

Anyway, I'm off on me hols for all of next week (starting Monday) so obviously I won't be around for any updates and such. Still, at least there's some new photos to keep you interested

One tiny thing...I should have an AnyWho comic ready by the end of the week XD

Seeing as I've been improving (see previous journal) I'm now in a position to make comics again - literally

Oh and I got to see Wall-E and Dark Knight, both of which were brilliant! Heath Ledger's joker is one of, if not THE best performances in a film that I've ever seen. He deserves that oscar, dead or not.

Wall-E is just too cute for words ^^


Keep it real dawgs...PEACE! BOOYAH!



EDIT: OK everyone, I'm really really sorry but there's no comic to go up. Rest assured I'll have it done as soon as I get back.

Thanks for all your support and well-wishings, and you'll be pleased to know that everything went fine although I did have to stay in a few days longer than I anticipated. Still, what can you do eh?

At the moment I'm having to lie down to use my computer (lets just say that the stitches are in an...uncomfortable...position >.> ), so I can't promise any new stuff too soon as this set-up is more cumbersome than usual.

And dammit, come hell or high water I will see WALL-E and Dark Knight like I vowed last time! I'll just take an extra cushion into the cinema

Peace out you awesome people you!


PS: This new dA layout is starting to grow on me, I didn't like it at first but I reckon I could get used to it.

PPS:

"Vegeta, what does the scanner say about his pageviews?"

"They're OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAAAANNNNNDD!"

Had to be done.

Thanks to all of you!

Basically what's happening is that I'm going into the Hospital on Monday for a relatively minor surgical procedure to remove this...thing...(you don't want the details, trust me), and although I'll only be in there for a day or two at maximum I'll be spending either two or six weeks recovering. It depends on what Mr. Surgeon has to do, which we won't know until I'm actually on the table. Vich iz a bit of a bugger but zere you go

So what that means is that I'll probably be out of action for a while, although I'm not sure for how long or how "out of it" I'll be when recovering. If I can, I'll post an update on my status when I get out but for the most part this week will likely be the last you'll hear from me for a little while.

And dammit, I'm seeing WALL-E and The Dark Knight whether I'm well enough or not! Screw the rules, I have green hair

So anyway, I shall be around until Monday. Just consider this a heads-up.

Peace

EDIT: OK I should add that I don't actually have green hair, I was just quoting from Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series >.>

So here it is. The series 4 finale of Doctor Who. What's going to happen? Does the Doctor...you know...or is something freaky going on? Are the Daleks going to destroy the universe? What happened to Sarah Jane and Harriet Jones? And what exactly is going on with Donna? All of these questions will hopefully be answered tonight, via RTD's terrible writing (unfortunately).

Everyone's got their theories and predictions, I know I do, and in just over 90 mins from the time of writing we'll find out who's right.

It's going to be one hell of a spectacle you can bet on that. My eyes will be firmly glued to the screen.

And if we get any randomness, AnyWho will be there to cover it XD.

EDIT: Ok, I've seen it now. One of my many possible theories was right! HA! Well, if you had as many as I did at least one was bound to be right. Although there was that extra bit I didn't see coming.

EDIT#2: Comic is up!

It's awesome

So thanks for all the visits, and here's to the next 1,000 or so! I'll be doing something special when/if I reach the 10,000 mark, so look out for that.

Now, can we talk Doctor Who? Note: Foreign peeps who haven't seen the latest series, stay away from this bit. Also the same goes for people who haven't seen trailers for next time and don't want the beans spilled. Read on at your peril.

--------------------------------------------

OK, I think that's sufficient warning. Any spoilers are now your own fault.

So...was Turn Left not an amazing episode? Too flipping right it was, which I must admit surprised me for a Doctor-lite episode. It really showed how much Donna has changed since we first saw her in The Runaway Bride, which we got to see some of at the start of the new reality. It's clear that if she'd stayed like that then this series wouldn't have been half as good as it has been, so all credit to RTD for making her watchable.

What this episode also did to great effect is show how much the Earth relies on The Doctor, seeing as without him London is destroyed and the whole world plunged into chaos and disaster, but conversely how he needs us as well as without Donna to hold him back he ended up dead.

The inclusion of Rose was brilliant as well, it really made this episode that extra bit special for me. Well that and the hilarious Italian bloke Donna was staying with, but I digress XD. The ending was a fantastic lesson in suspense and tension, and huge credit must go to David Tennant for acting his socks off in that bit. When he starts suspecting that it was Rose, you could feel your heart race along with his. Top stuff.

To quote a friend of mine, next week's episode will be immense. Everyone gets together at long last, the Daleks return and all kinds of shazbot hits the fan. Plus, maniacal laughing Daleks? Count me in!

My exams are nearly over, so I'll be back to doing AnyWho more often very soon. I hope you've enjoyed all the photos I've been uploading, but I know that you just can't resist a bit of Who action

Speaking of Doctor Who, I really enjoyed the Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead two-parter from Stephen Moffat. In case you haven't heard, Russel T. Davis is stepping down as cheif writer and producer on Doctor Who and Moffat (who also wrote Blink and The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances) will be taking his place.

This two parter was proof that the BBC have made the right choice, in my opinion.

What do you think?

Peace out

No! Not yet! Come back in 3,000 views time!

Anyway, thanks for the 7,000-odd views! Just thought I'd check in one last time before my exams start good and proper, the first one's this Thursday.

So, who saw Doctor Who yesterday? I thought it was a decent enough episode, not the most brilliant I've seen but certainly not a bad ep. I thought Jenny was a good character, and the Hath - or as my good friend said, "fish with radioactive fizzy drink for a head" - were very well done, although I was a bit puzzled as to why the audience didn't get to hear what they were saying when everyone else could clearly understand.

Not too sure about next week's though...Agatha Cristie and a giant wasp? Hmm...

HEY! I told you! NOT YET!

XD

IRON MAN!

God, just saw this movie and I can't praise it enough - probably the best marvel superhero movie since Spiderman 2, and that's saying a lot. Robert Downey Jr. great as Tony Stark, and Gwyneth Platrow does a brilliant job as his assistant Pepper Potts. Jeff Bridges really adds some menacing gravitas as Obadaiah (sp?) Stane.

They really nailed the characters and the suit is fantastic, I honestly couldn't see the join between the CG and the real deal. If you go and see it, which I highly recommend you do, stay until after the credits - there's a little extra bit that's really worth staying for.

There was also quite a lot of foreshadowing, setting up some possible sequels very nicely - I hope this becomes a great franchise.

Thus ends mah movie review

-everything else-

Right, on with the more important stuff.

As I mentioned a couple of journals ago my final A level exam period is coming up very soon. In fact my first exam is only two weeks away. This means that I won't have a lot of time for AnyWho as I'll be revising, so it's on unofficial semi-hiatus until I've either finished my exams or find some spare time in which to do it.

Basically, don't expect too much from me too soon. I might still put up some photography as that's easier for me to do, but the comics will probably have to wait.

Oh and this week's Doctor Who was brilliant, don't you think?

Peace

Not such a big deal after all? has brought this article [link] to my attention, which seems to indicate that things aren't quite as bad as they seem.

Still, as with all these things there's the possibility that things have been overlooked, or we aren't getting the whole picture or whatever. For now, the best bet would be to stay tuned for any further developments.

The answers were of course...
1) Mk III
2) 903
3) 4
4) 5 billion and 23
5) Silver
6) Type 40
7) "Run!"
8) The Lion King
9) "Fantastic!"
10) "Allons-y!"

I know there were several possible answers for number 10, but I was only looking for one of them. Multiple answers weren't accepted, you had to get the right one.

A special consolatory prize goes to , because even though I had to discount her, her "refined" answers were correct and her sheer amount of geek knowledge gets her extra credit.

So she gets a character sheet, but no cameo.

Oh by the way.

All new monsters, villains as well as some old ones - The Doctor's well and truly back.

Also, I'm off on two weeks easter holiday (a week or so after easter, don't ask >.> ) so you can expect some AnyWho action very soon.

Unfortunately, soon after I get back it'll be coming up to exam time for me so I can't promise much then, but I'll try and make up for it now and afterwards

Now, on with some stuff I know you've been waiting for.

THE ANYWHO CONTEST!

As I said in my previous journal, the winner gets a cameo appearance in one of the next AnyWho comics, along with a personal copy of their character for them to use however they like. I can't promise the comic willl be the next one though, because that depends on how fast it's all sorted out.

Now, the contest is in quizzical form - ten questions all about Doctor Who, funnily enough!
_{*Disclaimer - If you haven't seen the more recent series of Doctor Who, there may be some spoilers there. *}

The winner will be the first person to get all ten right - post your answers in the comments for this journal! However, if no-one gets all of them by the end of the week, the winner will be the first person to have got the most right.

So, here come the questions!

1) In the Tenth Doctor episode "School Reunion", what version of K9 does the Doctor repair?
2) In the christmas special, "Voyage of the Damned", how old does The Doctor say he is?
3) How many Daleks are there in the "Cult of Skaro"?
4) In the Tenth Doctor episode "New Earth", the year is 5 billion and...what?
5) What colour are the trees on Gallifrey? (Mentioned in "Gridlock")
6) What model of TARDIS does The Doctor pilot?
7) In the first Ninth Doctor episode "Rose", what is the Ninth Doctor's first line?
8) In "The Christmas Invasion", what film does the Tenth Doctor start quoting by accident?
9) What is the Ninth Doctor's "catchphrase"?
10) What is the Tenth Doctor's "catchphrase"?

Good luck!

Note: ONE ENTRY PER DEVIANT!

Finally, finally, finally got a new AnyWho up, I'm sorry about the huuuge delay but life got in the way a little bit >.>

Anyway it's here now so enjoy, and as for the competition - I'm working on that. What I can tell you is that the prize will be a cameo appearance in the AnyWho 10 for the winner. What I haven't worked out yet is how to decide on it.

It'll be some sort of quiz I think. Possibly. Maybe.

Stay tuned for further details XD

OK, so I may have had one of the best days I've had in a long time. In a nutshell...

I met David Attenborough!

This may only make sense to the Brits amongst you, although I think Blue Planet's been shown in US and A

Anyway he was doing a book signing in my local Waterstones, and I'd finished my lessons for the day early enough to get along. Luckily I took my camera, and you can see one of my efforts in my gallery

I queued for ages, and I was right at the back of a mahoooosive queue - I think I must have been one of the last people to see him. Anyway he was very nice about it, we said a few words to each other, along the lines of...

Me:"It's very kind of you to stay this long"

Sir David: "Well it's very kind of you to want to see me that much."

Me: "I've really been enjoying the series (Life in Cold Blood), like everything else you've done, it's wonderful."

Sir David: "Thank you very much."

Also, a very nice chap was kind enough to take a photo of me and Sir David together, which you can see here: [link]

(That's me on the left xD)

Awesomeness.

Aaaanyway, I've put up some more photos and I'll probably be putting a few more up soon. As for AnyWho, lets just say that I'm aiming to have it done by the end of the week.

Oh and when it does go up, I'll post the details of the competition I mentioned

Also, yay for half term xD

Also, sorry I haven't done any Valentine's Day AnyWho stuff - it's just not a big deal to me (durr I wonder why *SINGLE*) so the thought never crossed my mind.

If I'm still here next year I'll make it up to ya

Although...I would like to send out one special valentine, now I think of it.

Roses are red
Violets are blue
And I'll always love
My Weighted Companion Cube

OK, I'm assuming that you'll all have seen the new fat-arsed ads in your galleries and fave sections if you're not subscribed, as I assume the majority of deviants are. This slipped in alongside the new "collections" feature, and yet curiously isn't mentioned along with the other new additions in the launch article: [link]

Just to clarify, the other ads on this site I can put up with - they're non-invasive and I understand that devART has to get some guaranteed revenue. But since when did it become OK to disrupt your day-to-day activities by plonking them right in your face?

Remember, this only applies to non-subscribers, which is the biggest thing that pisses me off. Since I started visiting and using devART, there have always been ads around the site as I said earlier, all with the tag-line underneath that said that you could get rid of them by subscribing, and when they were non-invasive this was good, like a suggestion. You could see that there'd be some advantages but there was no real pressure.

Now, however, they're getting in our way - just like they do when you're not a member and you try to view devs. This gives off the feeling that they're pressuring you to subscribe if you want a nice clean gallery, which is a bloody disgrace if you ask me. What you get when you subscribe should be perks such as using stamps and customising your journal and gallery, NOT something that you would expect as standard!

Sort it out, seriously.
