Happy New Year a bit early

[aimeekitty]

Thanks for the awesome year, you guys. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I'll be out of town till Jan 4th.
I included some steps for making this one in the cut if you want. :)

SCROLL DOWN FOR PROGRESS



Reference images: (plus some googled images of fireworks and the London Eye)


sorry, I forgot to take pictures all the way through, so there's not that much of a progression here.



This time I traced in red pencil onto another sheet and colored on that, and then inked on top of the marker.
after the last marker image here (at the bottom) I added more fireworks (done with prismacolor pencil), some more black sky,.... drew in the Doctor's red pinstripes with a colerase pencil, and then highlighted Rose, the Doctor, and the London Eye with a white prismacolor pencil. Then I inked with a sakura pen (forget the type, sorry).
Still though, due to the dark colors and fireworks, I went in and darkened and highlighted a bit in photoshop. (the white of the pencil I used for the fireworks will only get so white... so it needs some help)

I have computer files (like avi's or something) of Blackpool and Casanova if you want me to make you a cd of them! But you'll have to watch them on the computer. let me know! :)

Midnight- Tennants acting in that was spellbinding! I loved that at the beginning when he's chatting with all of them and being all happy, that you can see how much he loves humans. He's so optimistic and cute about it... and then by the end they have crushed his spirit. It's just really fantastic arc for one episode, and done with so very little. Also liked that the house wife, who seems the most harmless at the outset, is the most icky of all of them.

With River, Moffat said at SDCC that River's whole story could have been inbetween episodes... and that there could be whole storylines that we don't know about.
I liked the idea of TEN's doctor getting older though, living a long time in that body and then meeting River Song. So I'm sad that we wont really see that. I mean..., at most we can guess that his body will live another year or two before he's going to regenerate into 11? even allowing for "extra stories inbetween" because his body will look about the same age as it did in the forth season, right? Specially since River's a human,... She'd expect the Doctor to age at a somewhat human rate.
Maybe some fucked up stuff will happen to him in the next four eps and he'll seem "aged" before he regenerates? Who knows.

That'd kinda suck to have River have her "story" with the 11th doctor though. Just doesnt seem right, does it? Maybe she'll meet him during ten (whether we see it or not) and then meet him again at a later doctor, like 12 or 13. I kinda like the idea of him keeping coming back to her in various incarnations. Kinda like, he explores the universe and when he needs bosom soothing, he goes running back to River Song. (OR US! I don't mind being your 4th wife, doctor!)

a lot of people dont like River either! I think they're just so "ZOMG" about Rose... but I think it's nice that we have hope for the Doctor's future. Even if Rose stayed in this universe,... unless she's all BadWolfSUPERHUMAN now, she'd age and eventually he'd be heartbroken again. They always break his heart!
but at least we have hope that he'll open up again because there's River! What a nice idea.

I think if people got used to tennant (here in the US) or if Doctor Who got more popular here, that he'd have a good chance.
OR, if they did another romantic "big cast" movie like Love Actually or Four Weddings and a Funeral... ... where he was one of like 5 leads...? then he could introduce himself to a bigger US audience. I have hope. Cause I think he's fucking adorable, but that's because of his ACTING. WHen I first saw him, I thought "papercut!" just like Donna, but now I think he's fabulous because of how I've seen him!

people are retarded when they get so stuck on something they wont let anything else in: IE RoseXDoctor. I mean, HELLO she DID end up with him! I guess doppelganger Doctor isnt good enough for fans???
I would LOVE disks of those shows! I actually CAN watch stuff like that on my big screen---we have our computers networked to our 360 so if its on our comp...its on our TV! should i paypal you some shipping $$?

btw, you have to check out this MAME cabniet. Brad found it when looking stuff up to update his:

that mame cab ROCKS. if I ever have a big house and the time and money, I would so do that.

RoseXDoctor, I totally agree. I mean, they gave rose more than they will probably ever give a companion. She got to keep him for his whole (human) life. that's pretty huge. w hatever.

Sending you a dvd today! XD

oh wow! do you have my address already?? are you sure i cant give you any shipping money????

and its funny---i went looking for some Doctor icons last night and i was like JESUS ROSE. apparantly people love her more than i realized. i mean, i like her but WOW. honestly, Catherine tate was my fave for the 19th dr, but whatever! i actually PREFERRED that there was ZERO love interest between the two. like proper companions. and proves that not all girls just want to be lovey dovey.
and hahaha papercut....love it.

is it the same roswell one? if you're worried, email me your address aimeeATaimeemajor.com :)

I agree, I thought it was almost a more selfless friendship, and thus meant more, that Donna wasn't all lovey dovey with him.

shipping, it'd be like a couple bucks, it's not a big deal ^_^
