Happy New Year a bit early
Dec. 24th, 2008 09:15 amThanks 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)

Sending you a dvd today! XD

Date: 2009-01-07 09:08 pm (UTC)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.

Date: 2009-01-07 10:36 pm (UTC)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 ^_^
