Clark: Must have really missed me. Lois: Uh … only because the guy who sat in your desk was a certifiable psychopath. Otherwise, I’ve been so busy, I didn’t even notice you were gone. Lois: Well, you’ll never believe it, but I helped The Blur stop a homicidal maniac. Clark: Really? You know, I would love to hear about it. Lois: Okay. Well … it all started when this guy showed up with this major grudge against The Blur. He also happens have these bionic arms and a big, glowing rock for a heart. But that’s way later on in the story.

Monk flicks on the lights in the monastery basement. The rats scatter, but for a moment he glimpses little brown robes and tonsures.

Yeah, piece of cake. You’re my hero.

creating a christmas music poll of my own

I don’t really do pop Christmas music so I decided to create a poll based on my personal playlist.

There’s more songs I would put here if I could, but tumblr of course limits our poll options.

To further inform your voting, the recordings I listen to tend to be of handbell choirs, church choirs, folk artists, and deliberately old-fashioned arrangements. For instance, one of the albums I listen to has Victorian-era arrangements of Christmas carols. But I invite you to imagine your favorite arrangement of each song if it helps you select your answer!

Also, it’s way too early to post this poll, as it’s not even Advent yet. Reblog to reach everyone else on the non-pop-Christmas side of tumblr.

get to know me: [3/5] favorite male characters - clark kent (smallville) “I always tried to forget I was an alien. Or a creature. I’ve always tried to pretend I was human. I was raised to believe it was my Kryptonian part that was dangerous, Chloe, but I was wrong. It’s my human side. It… it’s the side that gets attached, the side that makes decisions based from emotions. That’s my enemy.”

WIP #30

Dave Malloy as Pierre Bezukhov (Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812).  Colored pencil, ink pen, and Copics marker on fiberboard.

In chronological order:

1.) The under-drawing, ready to be “markered.”  On this one, I started with a pencil sketch, then inked that with pen, then marked out all the highlights with white colored pencil, then colored over the whole thing with dark blue marker, which left the white pencil showing through.  Then I used those highlights as guidelines for where to do further shading with colored pencils of various light blue and white colors.  The result being that this first drawing actually looks more like my usual style, and the finished product looks more painterly, since the ink lines don’t show through too well.  Needless to say, I really liked it this way, too, so I photographed it (I was actually in Canada when I drew this and not at home, so unfortunately I didn’t have time to scan it).

2.) The finished piece.

3.) The finished piece, a detail.
