I drew some well-known aliens today at school for a “small” group project. :)

Gymnasiemässan is one of the biggest events held every year in Stockholm for high school students in order to make it easier for them to find what they want to study for their further education. My school has become rather popular these past few years, so we had this huge booth this year - which attracted a lot of people. :D

Another way to attract kids is by having us students talk about what kind of programmes we have to offer and to answer any questions they might have without sugarcoating anything. I stood in the booth for 10 hours yesterday, accompanied with my great classmates Denise & Alice. We tooks turns to draw on the cintiq while two of us talked about our programme to anyone interested.

The best drawing (that caught the most attention) was obviously Alice’s He-Man. ♥

I finally watched Brave yesterday. It was very intense. Jannat and I even started to question Disney’s trade mark of making everything “happily ever after” - during the sun rise scene in Brave.

whoops, I made another doodle

I had a dream last night where some classmates of mine and I went to a Halloween party, and we were all dressed up as Adventure Time characters. That dream made me happy but then I woke up and was sad because that will never happen because:

1. Halloween isn’t really something people celebrate in Sweden.
2. Those who do celebrate it are usually teenagers who like to get drunk.
3. I don’t want to get drunk because I rather not drink any alcoholic beverages.
4. I have never been invited to those kind of parties because I’m not cool enough.

So yeah, this doodle will have to do. Happy (early) Halloween! ; w ;

Ice King: Nelly
Lemongrab: Sophie
Marceline: Samina
Princess Bubblegum: Camilla
Lumpy Space Princess: Ruhani
Lady Rainicorn: Alice
Jake: Denise

wow, I just noticed that no one is Finn, haaah + w+);

We’ve worked a bit more on our dolls today. If you’re a movie fan, you can probably guess which movie they are from. Our dolls finally have hair! We were originally going to go with some more realistic-looking hair from wigs, but that would be really difficult to work with since it moves on its own. Paul told us to just go with clay, and so we did. I’m still really paranoid that the dolls might fall during shooting and then the hair will get all flat by being mashed against the table. :(

But at least it look kind of nice! Hah. :)

And yes, my doll is super creepy. Her head kind of cracked open during the heating of the head (last week), and it left her looking as if she was some freak from some kind of creepy low budget horror flick.

We will hopefully get them some eyes, lips and shoes next week - and then we can finally start with the other half of the project, which is the part where we have to be extra careful and really patient.

Martha Jones: The Woman Who Walked The Earth.

We were assigned to make our own posters in one of our classes. It could be about anything - and when someone gives me that option; the first thing that comes to my mind is Doctor Who, lol.

At first I wanted to do a poster with Rose Tyler, or one with Rose and the Doctor, but then I decided to do Martha Jones instead - because I feel like she is the most under-appreciated companion in all of Who, or at least in New Who. She was a bamf, but people don’t see that. They only see her as “that girl who had a crush on the Doctor but was rejected because he loved Rose the most”. But she’s not the clingy character they make her out to be. She’s a really smart character, she’s a strong and independent woman who knows exactly what she believes in. She’s responsible and brave as fuck. It’s a shame that no one will remember the year she saved the world - which is why I made her a poster for the year everyone seems to forget about - to remind you all of the year Martha Jones walked the earth and defeated the Master’s evil plans.

Martha is beautiful like a Godess, yet brave as a warrior; hence the outfit (inspired by a mix of ancient rome and ancient greece). The Master is a big but faded part of the poster, because he’s the evil mastermind in this story, but it’s not his story - it’s Martha’s.

Then we have the Toclafanes which everyone seem to forget about. Maybe they weren’t the most impressive aliens, but they were pretty brutal (or at least they were in my opinion) - and their design is kind of cool too, hahah. (:

The paper in her hand symbolises the story she spread to everyone, the story about the Doctor, and the key in her other hand is the only thing she had to defend herself with.

A woman, a key and a story.

stop-motion project

So we’ve finally gotten started on our dolls for our stop-motion assignment. We made the “skeletons” two weeks ago, but then we haven’t done anything more because we missed our last animation class (due to a stupid museum trip that I would like to erase from my brain). So today we worked really hard to catch up with the scheduele. The dolls are obviously not done yet, but we’ve gotten quite far in just one class - so that’s good. :) Oh and the things you see on the pictures are 1. My sketches for how big the skeletons should approximately be - 2. Work in progress with the heads being cut in half so the hook can become their brain, lol - 3. Putting some “meat to their bones” (I had to take the ‘head’ off because we realized that we did the head part wrong since we will at one point need to put the heads into the oven, and the body is way2flammable for that) 4. & 5. the not-yet-finished gang.

So.. Oishi’s 17th birthday passed on the 23rd. Unfortunately everyone (including herself) have started school again, so I have not been able to give her anything in person (yet). I did go and buy her a gift that day though, which I will give to her tomorrow when we see eachother again. :D

Together with her gift, is a quickly drawn Sherlock - wishing her happy birthday, aaand a Batman painting I painted over the summer. I can’t reveal what’s wrapped inside the awful-looking gift paper - because that’s a surprise. Right now I just really hope Oishi will like the surprise & the paiting. :)

What time is it? It’s coming together time! :D

One of the things I’ve been doing this summer is catching up on all four seasons of Adventure Time and like many others; I have fallen in love with it’s quirky style and awesome humor. So when Oishi drew an Adventure Time-inspired drawing of Marwa and me, I also wanted to try drawing in this style. It started off as a sketch of only Oishi and I, but then I started adding more and more friends of mine in it. The paper in my notebook was too small to fit everyone in, so I took it to my computer to “evolve” the drawing. I wish I could squeeze in some more people into the drawing - because I really don’t want anyone feeling left out or forgotten, but I don’t like things looking too messy.. so this is as many people I could fit in. :( So who are the people in the drawing? Let me introduce you to them! :D

• Person protecting the TARDIS: Emmi
• People riding Appa: Camilla, Alice & Denise
• Person in the wedding dress: Nafisa
• People standing in the front: Oishi, myself, Selma, Jannat & Sajie

Just a quick sketch of how I think Shon and Ruru would look like if they were male.
