Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to everyone that has looked at my blog this year. I've hoped you've enjoyed it and hope that you all have a great xmas!



I came up with the idea for my Christmas card after seeing this year's xmas advert from John Lewis and wondering what would happen if Mr Snowman didn't put quite so much thought into his present buying...



SEASON'S GREETINGS! :)

Happy Birthday Mega Man!

Today is the 25th Anniversary of the first Mega Man game from Capcom. When I was younger, I remember playing Mega Man 3 on the NES and thinking that it had The Best Video Game Music Ever, and even making up songs to go with the soundtrack. To celebrate this occasion I decided to have a go at creating my own pixel art image...

Movillustration – This is the end/Beautiful friend

So Movember is now over and so is my Movillustration challenge, raising money for Prostate Cancer UK, and I somehow managed to draw 30 men with moustaches in 30 days (and just about avoided going mental during the process). Here's the last batch of images...











And here's something I put together for my Facebook Cover Image to promote my efforts, with all my moustache faces together...



You can view all my Movillustration images over at the Tumblr page I set up especially for this project: http://movillustrations.tumblr.com/ Also, if you still would like to donate for Prostate Cancer UK, you can visit my Just Giving page here: http://www.justgiving.com/movillustration

Happy Birthday Valentina!

Also last night, I popped along to my friend Valentina's drinks for her birthday. I remembered that earlier in the year, Valentina was saying how much she enjoyed the animated film Brave, so I made her this card...

Secret Santa Sketch

Last night I went to my first party of the Festive Season, Zarina's Xmas-Manga-Mexican Party, and a very good evening it was too! And we did a Secret Santa Sketch, where everyone drew a 10-15 minute A5 black and white image before the party (or during the party if you hadn't done your homework!) and then everyone's names were put in a bag and the name you picked out, you got their sketch.

Here's my Secret Santa Sketch. I decided to pick up on the Xmas and Mexican themes, which according to Zarina was part of the "rules", although she hadn't actually told any of us that part...

And I got this cute Secret Santa Sketch by naniiebim...
