Her father is the owner of a successful car manufacturer; when asked back in school what she wanted to do when she grew up, she always said she wanted to be a racing driver; she took up karting when she was 8 years old and by the time she was 15 she was helping her father repair vintage cars.
As soon as she turned 17 she got her license. Several years afterwards she began training to become a professional racer. By the time Rita felt ready to test her skills on a proper track in late 2005, she'd already amassed a small collection of supercars, the centerpiece being a Bugatti Veyron - one of the earliest produced. She was very lucky that a racing course had been constructed in her home town six years before...

Rita entered the very last race of of the season. She didn't care that she couldn't win the tournament, she just wanted to see how things went. In short, she trounced the competition, including popular local figure Corky Koma (who was the winner of the tournament). She signed up for the next racing season immediately and was ultimately quite successful in it. Her problem was that she was very competitive and, for a while, a rather bad winner. Corky disapproved of her behaviour, leading to them becoming rivals. Things all changed midway through the season where, on the final lap of a race, Corky's attempt to overtake on the last corner went disastrously wrong and resulted in a very serious crash. Rita only won that race by convenient braking distances: as soon as she saw Corky hit the wall, she stopped to try and help him.

Corky's accident was rather sobering to Rita. She had thought she was only showing that she could race with the best and win, but realised she had let victory go to her head. The two ultimately decided to bury the hatchet, with Rita offering to pay for the repairs on Corky's beloved Talbot Tagora. They ultimately became very good friends and their attitude on the racetrack improved.

Corky began having trouble with his leg after the accident, which began affecting his driving. Eventually he felt he could no longer take part in the tournaments and retired at the end of 2008. After he disappeared the next day (and was mysteriously found dead several days later), Rita's relationship with the racetrack changed, especially with the realisation that a relative, long thought to be dead, had been watching over her..."

The last of the initial four designs, Rita's original look was once again one that I can no longer stand. She looked far too slutty, mainly because her original design was based on Mai Valentine from Yu-Gi-Oh. She isn't a character that I paid much attention to until I decided to redraw numerous existing characters - her appearance in the Air music video didn't do much to change her look, although it did change her face. Now she's been given much shorter, less messy hair and her outfit has been refined.
The lighting was very difficult, and to be honest it didn't quite turn out as I'd initially pictured.

They lived a modest life in a small house in the woods and had six children. Alfred died in 1842, when Teresa was 55 years old. She became depressed, spending her days walking through the countryside contemplating her own life. One of these walks eventually lead her to the Verdun Estate, abandoned after the entire family was murdered twenty years previous. Curious, she went inside. After wandering the hallways, she soon found a bookcase was out of place; behind that was the entrance to a secret vault. She was amazed by what she found. Gold, artwork, treasures, potions, cauldrons, Lord Verdun's corpse...
Shocked, she turned to leave and came face to face with a cloaked figure - Hex. Teresa ran for her life, but the witch did nothing. At least, nothing she could see or hear...

Over the coming weeks, Teresa found herself looking younger. At first she was quite pleased, but then she started feeling little twangs of pain. She began regressing faster and faster, and the pain went from minor annoyances to unbearably excruciating. She realised that she would ultimately regress to nothing. Desperate to escape and be with her husband, she slit her throat.
Five hours later, she stood up, still alive and unharmed. After further attempts, she realised that she was unable to hurt herself - she couldn't feel any pain. Shocked and depressed, she went to the witch to find out what had happened. Hex had placed two curses on her, the first being the regression curse. The second was far crueller: should Teresa try to take her life, she would be unable to pass on. She would be trapped in limbo, with the only way out being the end of the family line. Hex expected Teresa to be desperate enough to die that she would murder her descendants. Teresa refused and spent many years living in depressed isolation in the forest, as an incomplete human.
Her life took a turn when she was attacked by thirteen hooded figures while sitting in a clearing. They tried to kill her, but failed. Surprised and impressed by her abilities, they decided to make her their leader. The wraiths bestowed unto her the ability to understand them, they introduced her to the crypt that lay below the clearing that had once been the location of an ancient church, and Teresa began taming these wild spirits. With their help, she began learning how to tap into the dark magic that kept her tied to this world.

Years passed. Teresa had been watching over her grandchildren for many years, but ultimately lost track of them all. She was still a very depressed woman, but the encounter with Hex and years in isolation had left her bitter. Then she discovered that one of her descendants was living in the nearby town of Festiva..."

Unlike the other drawings of these characters, I didn't find Th13teen's original picture all that bad. However, her character had evolved since it was made and the picture didn't accurately reflect that. This is essentially a redrawn version of that picture, which is now in the scraps folder.
Teresa's design was originally thought of in 2009, before the ride opened or was even named. Also, I finally drew the wraiths. The original picture was going to have them in it, but they didn't really work well there.
I still find it very funny that people pointed out she actually resembled Morwenna Angove, marketing director at Alton Towers when the ride was being built.

Development on the Secret Weapon was taking longer than expected and with that being the only foreseeable way of stopping him, Nemesis was free to conquer the entire island. Even those not of this realm were worried...
The kingdom of Granadia is home to The Gods, who watch over the planet and command its various elements. In early 2002 they decided that it was time to do something about this crisis, but none knew what. It was then proposed that a single God be stationed on Alton Island to protect the people from the demon king. Many of them were shocked - no God had stepped upon the Earth since its creation, and they were not willing to let man know of their existence. Even then they were well aware of Nemesis' track record; he had been kept alive for millions of years and his dark power was literally killing the land he owned. While he may not be able to destroy Gods, they likely couldn't destroy him. Many of them saw this plan as a lost cause.
Except Air.

Air Luftai, a Goddess of Wind was looking to prove her worth in an attempt to apply for the High Council - those who are truly worthy enough to not only command, but control the elements of Earth. Despite being quite young, the Elders allowed it and she was assigned to protect the island for as long as Nemesis plagued it. She managed to fend him off almost as soon as she arrived, halting his charge on the final human settlement, Oasis city, and killing one of the Nemesites in the process. Shocked by this, Nemesis retreated back to his lair, while Air set to work creating a barrier of pure energy to contain him in the valley. She then took up residence in a mountain that overlooked the city, watching over the citizens in the last remaining area of what they had once called Thunder Valley."

Air was the very first character I designed for this series, way way back in 2008. And of all the original designs, hers was easily the worst. Her hair was very straggly and lifeless, her eyes were huge and animu and ugly, her proportions were completely out, and it was just plain bad. The picture that has now been moved to my Scraps wasn't even the original one - it was so awful it became the only one of these designs to be outright replaced, the replacement image being a frame from the music video I made in 2009 (which is where her updated design first appeared). Her design hasn't actually changed since then, she's just been drawn in the much nicer new style.

The engine was one reason I decided to take this on, as it's real life counterpart, "Pamela", is technically a Quarry Hunslet. I say technically because it's a hybrid of a Hunslet and a Hudswell Clarke locomotive. It took a while to get around to doing, owing to University commitments, but I'm quite pleased with the results. It feels like I've forgotten how to draw ponies in the last 5 months (but I'm much better at drawing penguins as a result - long story).
The picture was a lot wider than this, but I trimmed it to make it seem less empty. All that was really lost was some trees and extra brickwork on the shed.

Like with the last picture, Agent Oblivion's picture is over 4 and a half years old. It desperately needed updating. For one thing, the background was horrible and uninspired. As for the character design, his hair was far too messy and spiky for it to be allowed. His glasses were large enough to completely cover his eyes, which didn't really work. His suit didn't really change, it was just made darker - he got a new suit this year.
The background is very interesting. It includes designs for characters not yet seen, and one not yet finished. As for the other two characters, they both fit in with the X Sector theming to an extent. See if you can figure out how.

Nobody knows what he wants.
There are theories, and then...
There is the legend.

It came from another dimension, one beyond our imagination. It was rejected by society; it did not look like anything they had ever seen before, it could not speak their language, it just spent its days in the wastelands of the planet. People feared it for its powers; upon being stung by the most poisonous creature on the planet said creature died instantly, it was immensely strong, it could grow tentacles from its back... They knew it by their word for 'Demon': Nemesis.
One day they declared they'd had enough, and tried to destroy Nemesis. The mob cornered him in a canyon. Moments later they were all lying dead. Nemesis did not know how he had done so, nor did he wish to know. All he knew to do was run. Find sanctuary. A military base gave him the answer. He stole a spacecraft and fled, hoping to find somewhere he could live in peace. He accidentally entered statis and the ship drifted through the universe for millenia.

The craft crashed onto Alton Island over 2 million years ago, burying itself in the process. It began drawing power from the Earth's core, keeping Nemesis alive. When settlers arrived on the island, some of them became affected by the strange energies emitted by the craft. It drove them mad. They eventually vanished completely, causing this area of the island to become abandoned. Until the 1990s...
Louis Schwarzkopf reclaimed the land, bringing new settlers with him. A construction project in 1994 was halted when the workmen complained of dizzy spells, migraines and the urge to dig in the shadow of two giant oak trees. They became overpowered and began digging, uncovering the craft. They were astounded when they found the cockpit, which contained a small red-headed man. Millions of years in statis had driven him insane, trapped with his troubled thoughts, his anger at those who rejected him. Nemesis' rage was immeasurable, sending trees, small buildings, heavy plant and people hurtling through the air and destroying the craft that had brought him here. They say the explosion could be seen from across the island.

Months passed. Nemesis had decided what he was to do. Humanity would pay for the injustices he had experienced. He began claiming the land as his own, creating horrifying creatures, corrupting the inhabitants and slaughtering those who would not submit to him. When one man, local hero Hunter Black, tried to stand up to him, he was savagely beaten and killed, thus prompting the government to start taking action. By 2002, it seemed all hope was lost, had there not been a divine intervention..."

So the original Nemesis picture is over 4 years old now. My drawing style has changed since then, and of course I don't really like to look at it. There have been a few changes to the character as well. This isn't exclusive to Nemesis - most of the early Alton Island pictures are horrible, Air's being so ugly I removed it and replaced it with a frame from her music video. They don't truly reflect the characters, some of whom have evolved considerably since their conception.
Thus begins a new campaign: redraw all the old Alton Island pictures with this new style.
In this one, Nemesis is seen beating the ever-loving snot out of Hunter Black. Who is Hunter? That's for another time...
Nemesis' design was initially based heavily on Marik/Melvin Ishtar from Yu-Gi-Oh, but here I've tried to tone that down.

Felix the Cat: The Movie needs more fan art. Yeah, technically it's not a good movie, but I absolutely adore it - I'd seriously go as far as calling it one of my favourite movies. I love the music in particular. The world they create is actually quite interesting and is filled with little details. It's a shame not enough time was spent on the Duke of Zill.
Here I've expanded on his invasion of the kingdom of Oriana while also redesigning him ever so slightly in the process. He had the voice, but the design was... lacking. He was a little hard to take seriously. I've changed the colour of his chestplate, reduced the muscle detail on it, made his arms black, bulked up his cybernetic leg, removed the bows on his arms and altered the crown on his belt and staff.
I do plan on doing more art for this movie, I just don't know when...

It had been sponsored by Coca-Cola for many years but this was largely invisible, save for the logo on top of the shop in front of the drop. Then we saw the branding. It was horrible. It was all over the place, it was eye-searingly garish, it was tacky and worst of all clashed with the dark and serious nature of the ride (with slogans like "Bring it on!" and "Looking down is the fun part" right under the classic "Don't Look Down" banner.)
The small banner fitted around the drop came unstuck after a number of weeks, likely due to the mist machines. The ridiculously large banner in part of the queue like ended up being torn off in places, likely by youths. People began petitioning Alton and Merlin Entertainments to remove it. Thankfully the branding was largely removed by August, and with this year's developments it's all but dead.
Of course, this means that Agent Oblivion now has an irrational hatred of the drink.

It's been too long since I last drew anything Alton Island related. I've been looking over all the old artwork and declared that it's butt ugly. The initial four pictures in particular all need reworking as they do not show the characters as they currently stand (in particular Rita is looking too slutty). In the midst of planning the new versions of these, I decided I needed to draw this scene.
New style! Well, it's the same as my recent style. But I've not drawn any Alton characters in it yet. It uses techniques I've learned from my animation course. Expect all my old Alton Island portraits to be moved to Scraps and replaced with new pictures like this, with subtle tweaks.

Oblivion's sporting a new suit as well. The ride got repainted during the 2012/13 closed season and it looks better than ever...

JANUARY
Honestly, the most interesting thing that happened to me this month was everyone at Uni watching an incomplete version of Beauty and the Beast. By incomplete, I mean the animation was part done, and lots of storyboards were still there. It was cool, but that's all.

FEBRUARY
Once again, off to see The Room, but this time Tommy Wiseau and Greg Sestero were there! Tommy is just as he is on camera, and he's a great entertainer.

MARCH
Yeah...

APRIL
So... 60163 Tornado came back...

MAY
Don't get the Fairly Odd Parents reference?
I got my teeth whitened. It was pretty cool, but I couldn't eat coloured food for several days. I lived on dry bread with no crusts.

JUNE
God damn 2012 sucks.

JULY
Ah, here we go! Summer of Sonic!
Wes Weasley returned, and I actually made it to the finals of the cosplay contest. I came 6th, the winner being the Werehog.

AUGUST
A bad month to be a cat...
First, we lost Spritely, who'd been with us for 17 years. She'd been having funny moments where for several hours she'd wander around blindly, be completely deaf and her head would get very hot. We think she was having a stroke every time this happened. Eventually things got worse and we couldn't bear to see her suffer any longer.
Then... the tale of Handsome Prince Uglycat. Some time last winter we found out a stray cat had been eating food we'd left out for the hedgehogs. He was a bit mangy, he was blind in one eye and was terrified of people. We called him Uglycat, although he was beautiful. We kept feeding him until he'd literally wait on the step for food - our day revolved around him. Eventually he began to eat inside, although we didn't make more progress until after Spritely was gone, when we finally got to touch him. Then one day we let him in and he wouldn't leave. We got him to the vet the next day, but their initial diagnosis worried us. He could have all kinds of things wrong with him, so they did a blood test and told us they'd test for everything. As soon as we got home they called us with bad news. Feline AIDS. We knew what had to happen...
At least his last few days were spent in the warm, with lots of affection.

SEPTEMBER
A bit more cheery now. I somehow managed to convince my Dad to take me on a trip to the narrow gauge railways of Wales. Four days, six railways, plus Portmeirion.
Then me and my good friend Jon went to Thorpe Park for the day. The Swarm is amazing. There was also Alton Towers, but I draw a lot of that...

OCTOBER
While I went to The Room again, that wasn't the major highlight. Instead it was finally, FINALLY getting my hands on a First4Figures Exclusive Metal Sonic statue - the one that lights up.

NOVEMBER
The only thing of note was that I went to the Warley Model Railway Exhibition, but not a lot of people would be interested in that. So instead, here's what else I did - work on my Final Film for Uni. Lots of penguins...

DECEMBER
And once again, December is when I pull an all-nighter. But this time, it was for a good reason. I was at the VGM-A-Thon, a 48 hour game making event. We had 2 days to make a video game from scratch, based on ideas submitted by local people. The end result was an RPG starring The Pope and John Lennon. And I stayed awake for 36 hours straight.

The first half of the year was largely boring. Will 2013 be better?
Hah, of course not. But at least there's no Olympics. ]]>

I have come up with so many things about this railway. For some reason my headcanon tells me the series takes place in the 1860s, justifying the limited technology the ponies have. The Ffestiniog Railway began using steam locomotives in 1863, although the designs I've used date from the 1890s (but they're so much nicer to look at). Following the history of the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railway (which the Trottingham Vale is based on), the line has connections to a tramway that, while independent, shared the line to Portmaredoc station. Two more engines were brought on in the 1920s, but ultimately the line closed in the late 1940s and they began to dismantle it. It would've been lost forever had it not been for a very large campaign to save it... There's more if you want it.
This picture was a real challenge, since I had no images of the George Englands to work with. Of the 4 or 5 days I spent working on this, only the last one was spent drawing ponies.

I must give credit to ~bobthedalek, who influenced the design of the station master. I was going for something based on Mr Parkin from the BBC show Oh, Doctor Beeching, but I saw his lineart and thought I'd merge the two together. The colouring may be different, but they could easily be different ponies.

I'd considered it for a while, so at the start of the month I created a new save file in Earthbound with all the names related to the show. It took a couple of weeks before I finally got round to playing through the game proper, but thanks to finding that my emulator had a fast-forward button, I finished it in 4 days. Better yet, the team was even stronger than my first playthrough 2 years ago. In fact, it was the first time since then that I'd actually gone through the game instead of loading up a save-state directly outside Giygas' lair.
So, the Awesome Four:
MattVV as Ness: Only natural. The host of the show, the main character of the game. It's funny that once again he's cast as a guy with a cap and baseball bat.
Crofty as Paula: ... Yeah. Crofty wasn't terribly pleased on finding out this particular casting decision, although the blame for that rests with someone else. As a compromise, he's shown here wearing fairly normal clothes instead of a dress and he has a bow tie, since that defines Paula's look (besides pink). Despite being cast as the girl of the group, he actually has incredibly useful attacks and is very good at casting shields. They'll need them for this battle.
JonoD as Jeff: As my advisor for the casting decisions, he requested to be Jeff. Makes sense, I guess. Spent most nights during the playthrough fixing up stuff, and was also the one to be knocked out the most, especially in the sewers of Fourside...
Boomstick as Prince Poo: No movie references with his design this time. Joining late on in the game, he ultimately saves the gang with his PK Starstorm. Also, he has the Sword of Kings. I go for it every time I play. This time it took half an hour to find.

I posted lots of screencaps from the playthrough onto the VGM Awesome Facebook page [link]. A lot of them were ultimately of the Giygas battle, thus it became the setting for this picture. Mainly because Giygas.

The only reason I regularly listen to the radio.
It's a 2 hour show playing nothing but video game music. They also talk about films, with a weekly review, various goings on in the gaming industry, and have regular themed specials. Since my favourite music comes from video games, I love it.
They posted this video yesterday - [link]. The title just made me think of TF2, and it's styled after one of their Meet the Team videos (the early ones, anyway), so my brain got working for once.

Featuring:
MattVV (creator & host) as The Scout
JonoD (co-presenter & industry journalist) as The Engineer
Crofty (indie developer) as The Sniper
Boomstick (film-maker and director) as The Demoman

I'm quite pleased with how this turned out. I actually tried blocking out before diving into drawing, and for the most part it worked.
One of my favourite parts of the picture is the dispenser, or the Generation Synthesiser as it must now be called. JonoD runs part of the show where he plays retro and chiptune music, so of course the dispenser needs to represent this. Hence it has been modified to play games from six consoles (upgrading will add more), it has dedicated cartridge slots and disc drives on top and at the side, it can play all manner of audio and video codecs, it has built in speakers and an excellent bass. All it needs is a controller of your choice to work.

This is my pet project, the tale of a narrow gauge railway in Equestria, combining two of my great loves - ponies and trains.
Back in April/May last year, I won a part built 009 model of a Double Fairlie, fully painted but lacking a chassis. Struggling to come up with a name for it, I eventually went with "Celestia", which ultimately sparked the idea of ponies building and running a narrow gauge line. The design and livery are replicated here, although I can imagine that being on the footplate isn't easy for ponies.

With the debut of Pipsqueak and his accent (however varied it may be), I gathered that ponies from Trottingham speak with English accents. But it can't just be Cockney, like Pipsqueak's attempted accent, so there had to be more British ponies. Hey presto, the region of County Shire. I could come up with a headcanon where British locomotive designs were used and (unlike the show) engines would be portrayed accurately.

Having spent last week in Wales visiting the narrow gauge railways there, I felt inspired to finally draw this picture, instead of waiting for the 009 model to be up and running. Yes, this type of engine actually exists. In fact, the image is pretty much identical to a photo I took of Double Fairlie "Merddin Emrys" leaving Porthmadog on the Ffestiniog Railway (which I think the TVLR to be most similar to).
So what we see here is locomotive number 1 "Celestia" charging through the valleys, having just left Colton and coming up on the extremely narrow Foalwyn Tunnel.

The last time I saw 60163 Tornado was in 2009, again, at Salisbury. Three years later, here I am again, standing on a freezing platform for an hour since it was delayed by 40 minutes (but it made up about 15). Now in BR Brunswick Green with the late crest, it was still just as impressive (although I'll always prefer Apple Green).

I didn't get a chance to go on the footplate this time, since the loco stopped about 60 feet from the platform. It then ran into the siding to take on coal. A DMU then passed in front, but didn't block out the engine. Someone then commented that the two together might make a nice photo. Well, you're looking at it.

It's not quite as interesting, but so what?
Also, I made it look nicer. Instead of just throwing it together at the last minute, I throw it together at the second to last minute, and use the brush tool!
So, here we go.

JANUARY
I discovered Minecraft thanks to a friend at University. It's insanely addictive.

FEBRUARY
Midlands Expo comes around again, and I cosplay as the Engineer once more. We dominate the appropriately coloured sofas.

MARCH
An important month. First, I discover that friendship is magic. Second, I visit my sister, who was living in Osaka for a year.
Can you tell I put a LOAD of effort into this part of the picture?

APRIL
Portal 2. Hell yes.

MAY
London Expo, and I finally have a Giygas cosplay to wear. To my surprise, roughly 10 people knew who I was. Plus I found 2 Ness cosplayers. Also, I've reached the point where the staff at Pizza Express in Chinatown have my order memorised.

JUNE
Summer Of Sonic. There's a lot of Cosplays this year...
I went as Wes Weasley, and my costume was quite popular. I almost won my round in the cosplay contest (losing my a fraction to Black Doom).

JULY
My sister returns home, and to celebrate we got a 3 month old kitten. An incredibly naughty kitten, who behaves incredibly similarly to one of our previous cats (see last year). Climbing the curtains became a regular thing for her, both in and out of them.

AUGUST
Went to London again to see The Room. SPOOOOOOONS.

SEPTEMBER
Alton Towers, of course! And plenty of rides on Th13teen!

OCTOBER
More cosplay! This time as The Spy, although my TF2 time was dominated by ponies.

NOVEMBER
I spend money. On a Fluttershy Plushie I'd wanted for a LONG time (made by *SpaceVoyager) and the new iPhone 4S.

DECEMBER
Really, the only highlight was spending 36 hours working on a 35 second animation for University. [link]
And yes, I said highlight. I guess another would be getting out of Uni for the holidays...

So yeah, not a lot that would interest many people. But hey, I had some fun.

2012 should be alright.
Oh wait, we host the Olympics this year. I'm just gonna hide inside until that pisses off.
And then we're all supposed to die this year.

With the Spy as one of my favourites, I wanted to cosplay him the most.
It was quite simple in theory. Find a suit, a balaclava, some gloves, shoes and toy knife. Hey presto, go backstab people. But finding the right suit was impossible. I wanted a proper blue pinstripe suit, but the only one I could find (in a vintage clothes shop in Camden) was far too small.
Since my immense weight loss two years ago, I couldn't wear my old suit because it was about 8 sizes too big for me. My dad found an old suit that was still a little large on me, but was usable for formal events. Last week I ordered a balaclava to use, having decided that I'd just use my tie colour to denote team loyalty. When it arrived, I wanted to try the ensemble to see how it worked. Things snowballed, and I ended up with a complete costume.

Taking the photo was awful due to the ridiculous heat we get once day every year. ]]> Being the sort of person who keeps on coming up with ideas for cosplays regardless of the number of events held and the feasibility of creating the costume, I really wanted to do more Team Fortress cosplay, not just the Engineer.

Back to doing pony art again, and this one damn near killed me. But I say it's worth it. I'd been thinking of doing a series of pictures based on my fanon of Derpy Hooves, and the image of her getting married was my favourite of them so I decided to make it separate from the others.

It took about a week to do this working solidly - at least 6 to 8 hours a day every day. There are 28 ponies in this picture, and most of them aren't fully visible, but all contain the same amount of detail. That's what took so long - at most I got about 5 or 6 done in a day.
All the ponies on Derpy's side are characters from the show (with the exception of her mother).
All the ponies on Doc's side are based on characters from British television. There are less on his side, simply because it was looking crowded enough.

Yes, my love of Earthbound has gone beyond the impossible. It's reached "Desperately searching nerd-shops in Japan for merchandise" and "Commission a £165 Kigurumi" levels.
I wanted to do an Earthbound cosplay. Who to cosplay? Well, Giygas, of course. Although that resulted in the small problem of how you cosplay a being that has no physical form and is only shown as a swirling red sprite mixed with a never-ending stream of mindscrew imagery and a foetus. I'd seen several attempts, from gijinkas to wearing a cardboard cut-out around your neck. But none of them were actually Giygas.
A kigurumi was the answer. Specifically, Custom Kigurumi: a London based company that makes kigurumis to order. It took a while, but the result was fantastic. The 'tail' has grab-handles fitted, so it can be held above the head to complete the look.

So, here's a picture from a quick photoshoot I did today. Giygas somehow sneaking up on an unsuspecting Mr Saturn.
===
The Mr Saturn plush was bought while I was in Japan. The whole 'searching nerd shops' thing is true - I covered quite a lot of Den Den town trying to find somewhere that sold Earthbound/Mother 2 stuff. I finally found one, but couldn't buy everything on display due to limited suitcase space, so I just got that (it came with a trash can too) and a Ness and Pokey statue. And then there's the smaller Mr Saturn I spent ¥800/£5 trying to win from a UFO Catcher while in Hiroshima. Cheaper than importing, folks!

I wore this to London Expo on the 29th May, and was very surprised at the number of people who recognised Giygas: about 10, if I remember correctly.

Aside from her eyes, I always see Derpy as a perfectly normal pony. She can speak coherently, she doesn't try to deliver muffins and eat letters, and she is more than capable of caring for her daughter, Dinky.

==

I really tried to emulate the look of the show here. My usual solid black lines (line tool) are replaced with thick coloured ones (drawn with the line tool, filled in, then black lines removed). I think I did a good job, too.

The logo on her mailbag refers to Royal Mail letterbox logos having the initials of the Monarch on them - [link] In this case, the C stands for Princess Celestia, with the R standing for 'Royal'. At least I think that's what it's meant to be...

It's actually a really good show, and is definitely worth checking out.
I wanted to do some art, but had no idea what of. I had several ideas, and couldn't decide which to go with. Finally I decided to just put a bunch of them together. And of course, as with all my long pictures, they'll need explaining.

1.
I can't help this. Whenever I hear the title, I think of that line from Yu-Gi-Oh The Abridged Series. Thankfully, MLP:FiM is far better than having to listen to one of Téa's friendship speeches. YamiPony's hair is epic. Also, their cutie marks. Téa's is the friendship symbol from the first episode. Yami's should be obvious.

2.
GIGGLE AT THE GIYGAS.

I've been in a Giygas mood again - it's now a year since I discovered him.
I must confess, tracing was involved in this one. Pinkie Pie was entirely traced, while Twilight Sparkle and Rarity's heads were traced. I just wanted them on model, since I still don't think I'm good at drawing ponies yet. Giygas wasn't traced, since I draw him near constantly during my theory lectures that I ignore every week. Also, can anyone spot what's up with Giygas..?
Also, actual dialogue from the episode. Giygas' was going to be hand-written; I write his dialogue left-handed, but the tablet hand-writing was too legible.

3.
OH HEY I'VE GONE ALL SELF-REFERENTIAL AGAIN.
Yup, the 'Secret Weapons' from my original series Alton Island. As ponies. I actually designed these on the plane back from Japan last week. I redrew and refined the designs for this.
Nemesis now has his proper eyes, and they're awesome. Since he has some kind of alien power, I made him a unicorn. His cutie mark is just because he kills mercilessly.
Oblivion originally wore his jacket, but it looked stupid, so I just kept his tie. Being the most normal Secret Weapon, he's an earth pony. His cutie mark should be obvious for Alton Towers fans.
Air doesn't look as good as her original drawing. Being a goddess, she had to be an alicorn (unicorn pegasus) like Celestia and Luna. Also, her cutie mark should be familar to AT fans.
Trinity. Oh god, Trinity. I LOVE how she turned out here. That mournful look is one of my favourite things about this image. Her cutie mark... duh.

4.
DERPY HOOVES! DERPY DERPY DERPY.
I friggin' LOVE Derpy Hooves. She's my favourite pony of all, so she was bound to make an appearance in this one. I only came up with this image earlier today. Originally it was going to be a picture from the fanfic 'Dinky doesn't go to school', which is sad and adorable. Then I thought of Dr Whoof. I like the Derpy/Whoof pairing.
I don't actually watch Doctor Who. The only episodes I've seen are The Age Of Steel and the last 10 minutes of Journey's End (Tenth Doctor ftw). I was thinking of drawing the scene of Rose and the Doctor's clone, but then I thought - they talk about when they were last together. What was that like?
So I watched their goodbye scene from Doomsday. My god, is it heart-wrenching. Sorry Derpy, but you need to re-enact that scene. [link]
Again, some tracing involved. The colours came out really well on the background.

CONFOUND THOSE PONIES AND THEIR CATCHY SONGS.
Winter Wrap Up is my favourite song from the show. I heard it, then I couldn't stop singing it to myself. [link]
Also, Rainbow Dash shirt, lol.

Hi there Ponibooru. [link] ]]> Yes, I too have discovered My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. It's actually a really good show, and is definitely worth checking out.
I wanted to do some art, but had no idea what of. I had several ideas, and couldn't decide which to go with. Finally I decided to just put a bunch of them together. And of course, as with all my long pictures, they'll need explaining.

1.
I can't help this. Whenever I hear the title, I think of that line from Yu-Gi-Oh The Abridged Series. Thankfully, MLP:FiM is far better than having to listen to one of Téa's friendship speeches. YamiPony's hair is epic. Also, their cutie marks. Téa's is the friendship symbol from the first episode. Yami's should be obvious.

2.
GIGGLE AT THE GIYGAS.

I've been in a Giygas mood again - it's now a year since I discovered him.
I must confess, tracing was involved in this one. Pinkie Pie was entirely traced, while Twilight Sparkle and Rarity's heads were traced. I just wanted them on model, since I still don't think I'm good at drawing ponies yet. Giygas wasn't traced, since I draw him near constantly during my theory lectures that I ignore every week. Also, can anyone spot what's up with Giygas..?
Also, actual dialogue from the episode. Giygas' was going to be hand-written; I write his dialogue left-handed, but the tablet hand-writing was too legible.

You may not know this, but last week I was in Japan visiting my sister. There was a lot we had to fit in to 7 days, including Nara, going on the Shinkansen, visiting host families, LOTS of shopping, and going to Universal Studios Japan.

One of the best rides there was Hollywood Dream: The Ride (almost all their rides had the suffix 'The Ride') - a B&M coaster with no inversions but some awesome airtime, and speakers built-in to the headrests that play one of five songs. It's quite a photogenic ride, despite the lack of any actual theming (the coaster trains all have lights on them - that's incredible).

This was one of my favourite pictures of the ride, and I need some more things in my gallery. So here you go.

Also, this is my first submission taken with my new camera. 14MP FTW. ]]>

He had given up his days on the seven seas, abandoning his crew and taking their treasure map in the process. He arrived on the island in 1981, settling down in the town of Springton. In 1984 Woodes found a lost child wandering the streets who had no knowledge of his family, home, or name - he adopted the boy, naming him Jet. He felt that he was making up for all the deeds he had done as a pirate.

In June 1997, Woodes was out drinking at a tavern in another town when he overheard some of the locals talking about the monstrous goings-on in the Forbidden Valley, and how they wouldn't stand for it any longer. They planned to fight the evil that was corrupting the land. Woodes, completely rat-arsed, offered to help them. The next day, they all headed out to the Forbidden Valley. They headed deep into the valley, and realised how in over their heads they were. Mile after mile of barren wasteland; no green in sight, red storm clouds brewed overhead, and the decaying remains of old communities. They were eventually attacked by a huge purple monster: a Nemesite.

Woodes was the only survivor of the bloody battle, but he hadn't made it out unscathed. His right arm and both legs had been mauled beyond repair. The Nemesite dragged him to its master, Nemesis. Nemesis was impressed by his bravery and fighting skill. After violently removing Woodes' crippled limbs, he fitted him with cybernetic replacements. Woodes was initially grateful, until they began to corrupt him. Mere minutes after he was able to walk again, the man known as Woodes Huss was gone, replaced by an emotionless slave. Nemesis had gained yet another follower.

Woodes became known as Blade, the leader of Nemesis' army - His cybernetic arm containing the sword owned by the captain. His memories of Jet were gone - he was now vicious, bloodthirsty and completely unaware that his old crew would track him down in the next ten years...

Finally. After putting it off for over a year, Blade joins the roster.
Really, I have to give a lot of thanks to ~Cobra-Roll for this one. he helped come up with many aspects of his design, such as hairstyle, hat, number of cybernetic limbs, and his name (based on Bristolian sea captain Woodes Rogers). Other influences on the design were Angstrom Darkwater from Ratchet and Clank (another suggestion by Cobra-Roll) and Edward Elric's automail. Seriously, a robotic arm that can turn into a sword. So cool, even I had to use it.

Wow. All of the rides in Forbidden Valley are now characters. Lava Lump doesn't count as a ride.

Okay, long story time. While browsing for GMod maps, I saw someone had uploaded one called GM_Middle Of Nowhere - an incredibly accurate recreation of the farmhouse from Courage the Cowardly Dog. This got the nostalgia going. I used to love Courage, and remember I watched it from the beginning. The TVTropes page listed the show's Crowning Music of Awesome, one of them being the main theme from the episode The Tower of Dr Zalost. Being a lover of this trope, I checked it out. It's one of the best songs ever broadcast on Cartoon Network. I rewatched the episode, and can see why it's rated as one of the best in the show.

So, wanting to do some art, I made a portrait of Dr Zalost with one of his Unhappy Cannonballs. So... yeah.
His hands were meant to be on his hips, but I fail at drawing hands like that. Pockets are a helpful cheat.

Oh, and first deviation of 2011. About bloody time.

3: Those goddamn bats. They're the reason I hate the caves.
4. Lol, fail Beavis. Pyromander is awesome though.
5. I couldn't be arsed, so here's a picture of me as a Snorlax. Oh wait.
6. I love my fedora.
7. Team Rocket were the absolute best. James was hilarious though. RocketShipping FTW

9. Behold the glory of the Master Ball. Available for only £8.
10. Haha, I'm not an oldfag. Sorry Cyndaquil, but Smugleaf must be worshipped.

However, today I felt as if the game had given me my own present. Now, when you become very very good friends with a villager, they give you their picture as a memento in case they leave. As you've no doubt guessed, Rosie has really grown on me, and I really wanted her picture. I started this quest in 2008.
December 25th 2010, Rosie thanks me for being such a good friend, and gives me her framed photo.

Wow, it's been a long time since I made some Animal Crossing art. 2 years, is it? Well, this picture was actually drawn 2 years ago, but I never got round to digitising it. Since I've been playing Wild World again, I thought it made sense to do some more art of it.
My AC style has improved, I reckon. It's like the older one, but much more refined. Plus it has shading. Can't go wrong with that.

Amazing. It had been a real long time since I last played AC:WW - I think about 12 months - and yet only one villager had moved. Everyone still remembered me, and I've been hard at work restoring Oakwood to its former glory.

For those who don't get it, Rosie is the blue cat. This really happened to me.

And once again, I want that shirt in the game. I have it in real life though.

They told us at the beginning of the year that if we were only at Uni for the student experience, Animation was not the course for us (we got homework in fresher's week!).

On November 4th, we had a guest lecturer, Alan Case: storyboard artist for shows such as Count Duckula and The Animals of Farthing Wood, writer and illustrator for Danger Mouse and Count Duckula comics, and a location designer for countless other shows. His lecture was brilliant fun - it wasn't a traditional lecture, it was more showing us how to draw a character using simple shapes. These are the 4 characters he guided us through - generic hero monkey, Count Duckula, villainous gorilla, and Danger Mouse If you look carefully, you can see the original shapes used in the composition of the characters (in blue pencil). After the session, we got a chance to look through his portfolio (I was very surprised to see the character sheets for Farthing Wood - I love that show).

I just cleaned up the images in Flash.

I'm terrified too. Nemesiygas cannot think rationally any more, and he isn't even aware of what he's doing right now. His own mind was destroyed by his incredible power. What an almighty idiot! Yep, that's what he is. Heh heh heh heh...
And you...

You will be... Just another meal to him..."

For those who don't quite understand, this is a combination of Alton Island (my original series) and Earthbound. Specifically, the final boss of Earthbound. Nemesiygas has just been released from the Devil's Machine by Ripsaw, and the chosen four three are horrified by what they see. Except for Trinity, who doesn't afraid of anything since her death.

For those who are confused as to my character choices, here's a quick guide:
Oblivion as Ness - Oblivion, as the first to begin working to defeat Nemesis, was a natural for Ness' role, although he would use machines to destroy Nemesis instead of a baseball bat and PSI.
Air as Paula - She just seems appropriate. Then there's the relationship between her and Oblivion... (Personally, I love her bow)
Teresa 'Trinity' Tamin as Jeff - Just because, really. It's funny.
Couldn't think of anyone for Poo.
Ripsaw as Pokey/Porky - Cowardly, rather full of himself, and more willing to serve evil than to die fighting against it. He assists only the strong and able.
Nemesis as Giygas - Duh. The demon king is practically the embodiment of evil in a semi-human form. While Giygas looks sad and pained, Nemesiygas... doesn't...

Giygas has been something of an 'interest' of mine for several months. This was one of many fan-art ideas I came up with for him.

Every month they hold a fan art contest on their forum, and this month the theme is Disney. What else would I do fan art of, but my favourite Disney film?
In retrospect, I should've put Waluigi as the main character, but he's more of a running gag as opposed to Kirbymodo, so he gets the part of Captain Waluigus. Waluigi likes Princess Daisy after all, so of course, she's got to be Esmerelda. And with King Dedede being the antagonist, he's perfect for Frollo (although he's not as evil as Frollo).

I really love how this turned out. I put a load of work into detailing the characters and getting the cathedral to look right. The clouds were troublesome, as I knew I couldn't just have a blank yellow background. My hand is dead...

And yes, that is how Waluigi is drawn in the comic. It's brilliant. You think otherwise? TOO BAD, WALUIGI TIME.

My sister told me about one of the many TF2 slash pairings she's a fan of, and I immediately came out with the title. I insisted that she drew it, but she couldn't be arsed. So I'm stuck with it. On the plus side, it is fairly cute.

Engineer gets two peripherals: Instead of his Gunslinger, the Power Glove (It's so bad) - and instead of the mini-sentries it builds, a R.O.B., of course.
Scout gets something a bit more obscure: the Konami Laserscope. Instead of using a NES Zapper, you plug this in and shout 'FIRE' to shoot. Or in Scout's case, 'FOIYAH'.

Oh, and in case you hadn't figured it out, the music is from Majora's Mask. It plays during the last six hours of Clock Town before The Moon kills everyone in a huge ball of fiery death. It's a beautifully haunting piece, so go Youtube it.

It was excellent until I realised that the strips I was reading were reprints, and it was cancelled soon after.
One thing that always stood out for me was Metal Sonic. You see, they never called him 'Metal Sonic'. Instead, he was called Metallix. I love the name, and I've always called him that, regardless of which model of Metal Sonic it is.

Now, onto the picture. Several years ago, I began drawing the Mecha Sonic from Sonic & Knuckles, the one that you fight in Sky Sanctuary. It was of a much more awesome design than the standard Metal Sonic, and I think Sega should've done more with it.
Now, following this, I had an idea, very similar to StC's 'Brotherhood of Metallix', where the Metallix rebelled against Doctor Robotnik and tried to exterminate Sonic themselves. Except this was different.

The Mecha Sonic had been rebuilt, and was under the control of a man who repaired hundreds of other badniks Robotnik had sent for scrap. When the man died, Mecha Sonic inherited everything he owned. As it turned out, the man wasn't as mentally stable as he appeared, and this was reflected in Mecha's programming. One thing lead to another and Mecha Sonic found himself building an army of Metal Sonics. He dubbed himself the Master Metallix and began a conquest of power, aiming to destroy Sonic and get revenge on Robotnik.

The picture shows part of their plot. Following its destruction, the Death Egg's remains fell back to Mobius, landing in the deserts of the Dust Hill Zone. Master Metallix is aiming to restore it to its former glory. And with a Chaos Emerald already in his grasp, his plans are within reach...
The Master's design is based on a mix of other designs; from the standard Metal Sonic, the S&K Mecha Sonic and Fleetway's interpretation of it.
I totally didn't re-use the same Metallix drawings throughout the picture. Totally...
I also decided to try something new: thicker outlines. Why? I dunno. I just think it works.
