DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOF! I'm very pleased with how this pic turned out in the end, and tomorrow I'm gonna break in my new scanner so you can get a proper look at it, but I couldn't resist giving you this sneak peek.

Fortnight Art Challenge!
Since I'm now on vacation I've decided that I should challenge myself to draw something every day for 14 days, even if it's just a doodle. But I need prompts, so I turn to you, dear followers: tell me what I should draw! It can be any kind of prompt; "draw an object made of [material]", "go outside and draw a tree", "draw a horse on stilts", "draw a face showing [expression]". Fanart prompts are welcome too, but I'll be at my parents' place for most of the vacation, so try to keep them from being too raunchy. 😜 I'll make a list of 14 different prompts, and then I'll tick them off in no particular order. But I need some prompts first, so GO!
Stuff I've Done In Florida (so far)
Seen three alligators, one raccoon, one armadillo, and a crapload of birds. Eaten way too many pancakes. Bought SUPER FLUFFY Batman pyjama trousers at Walmart, plus a nice soft sleeping camisole bedecked with a Bat symbol. Been to various malls without really finding anything interesting to buy. Tried Pop tarts for the first time in my life. Realised that EVERY AMERICAN MOVIE EVER has lied to me about what the people in the US actually look like. Seen a rocket launch at Cape Canaveral (that was fucking awesome jao). Tomorrow we're going down to Miami, and the day after that we're going to swim with manatees in Homosassa River. And then we'll be getting started on the Parks - I think we're settling for Magic Kingdom, Universal/Islands of Adventure , and possibly Hollywood Studios. We'll see.
Trying out hair chalk for the first time. It looked great, but it was dusting all over the place, so I figured I'd fix it with some hairspray. Hh. You know what happens to blue hair chalk in dark brown hair when you add hairspray? It fucking disappears! Fantastic!
Hey. Hey. Hey, look. I did fic. Steve and Brock hugging. It’s kind of fluffy, but evil, like a sinister Pomeranian. Go read.
I DID A THING! :D I haven't drawn anything for MONTHS but then Bucky in a Fifties dress popped into my head and I just had to get him on paper. Sorry 'bout the shoddy photo, I'm gonna try to get a better one tomorrow, when there's some natural light around. I've never even attempted to draw anything shiny metallic as that arm, but I think I did okay. Not sure what's going on with his head though; it looks sort of off but I can't figure out why? Oh well.
So I decided to roast some chestnuts, cos I've never done that before (it's not a common practice here in Sweden), and I randomly found chestnuts at a store I usually don't visit. Pretty much all I know about roasting chestnuts comes from foreign Christmas songs, so I looked up how to do it, and looked fairly straightforward. So I roasted the chestnuts according to the recipes, but what NOT ONE of the recipes I looked at mentioned was that, if the cuts you make on the chestnuts before sticking them in the oven don't fully penentrate the shell, said chestnut will then FUCKING EXPLODE IN YOUR FUCKING FACE. Which is why I now have bits of chestnut all over the kitchen. And me. And inside my bra, somehow. I strongly feel that more Christmas songs ought to take the explosive qualities of chestnuts into account.
Got the house to myself till Sunday, so now I'm gonna have a Marvel Movie Mega Marathon, write my thoughts on each film as I watch, and then post them before I start on the next film. First up, Iron Man!
