Dos cosas:

Uno - I get my wisdom teeth removed next Friday, the 16th. AnxiousHannah is anxious but just because, while I'm totally fine with other needles, medical needles freak me ouuuutt and I'll have to have an IV placed. Nooot looking forward to it. HOWEVER. You all can expect a photograph to be posted to document my swollen chipmonkface for the entire internet to lol at. XD

Dos - If you missed my post about it, I am making Halloween cards this year! If you haven't already requested one, please do so, I'm happy to send them out to whomever is interested.
There will be two different designs, given to people basically at random. I haven't finished yet but I know one will be slightly sweeter while the other will be slightly more wicked. Both may very likely contain rot, though, lol, because I am trying to keep the spirit of the holiday alive. It's all still in the works, who knows what the finished products will be.
( sneak peek! )
So comment here or send me an email with your address if you'd like one! The time approaches.

Holy crap I made it just in time didn't I. XDD I have had family over all day so I am late in the game posting this bu-ut:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KAYTAR! You are still muy young but lookit you slowly catching up.

xdinowhore you've been one of my closest friends for so many years now and I wouldn't be the same person without your influence, your free spirit, your charm, your insanity, your wonderful words, creativity, honesty, and trust. I wouldn't trade your friendship for anything. Thanks for always being so YOU, I know I can always trust you with anything no matter what and I count myself lucky to be someone you can rely on too. :D

SOGGY BAKED YOU A CAKE.

+ I would like to direct you all to this post where my dear friend and the very talented artist mizzmoonyluver has finally updated her long-neglected LJ and posted a beautifully rendered painting of Regulus, post-Cave. To anyone on my flist who hasn't already seen it, I encourage you all to go take a look and leave a comment, she deserves kind words and I know she'd appreciate them. :)

+ Anyone who is interested in seeing all the great stuff turned in for this most recent round of fandomcommerce, go take a look! We'll be accepting applications for the next round quite soon and always welcome new members. Or if you'd prefer to just bask in the benefits and see what other people post, everyone there would SO appreciate any comments with love or concrit that you might be able to offer. There really is something for everyone there.

Went to walkandchewgum's birthday celebrations yesterday out at Silver Falls State Park. It was great seeing Krystal because her and I really don't see enough of each other and it was so beautiful out there, we saw bats. :3 It was space themed (how awesome is THAT) and I wore my tinfoil hat. Simple? Yes. But quite the Hannah costume.
I had a good time and I hope you did toooo, Krystal, thanks for having me up there even though I am the odd one out who hasn't known you for all that long lol. I hope no one minded the friendinsrusion or anything, I know things can get odd when there is one newfriend with lots of oldfriends but everyone was really nice about it and forgiving of my wobbly digressions XD.

On one of the windowsills at the lodge we stayed at I found a pencil left behind by previous guests and drew this on the back of my notebook.

( + 'Resilience', Barty Crouch Jr, G, pencil )

Drawn really quickly for mizzmoonyluver because she was working on a painting and Photoshop crashed and dfjhdsjfsdjhfsd I know that pain so well. D: So to console her I drew - surprise surprise - Regulus.

He's not dead this time, though. Lmao.

( + 'Chin Up', Regulus Black, PG for artistic nudity, pencil )

( + (NWS!) 'Even If He's Just Skin And Bone', zombie!Regulus Black and Barty Crouch Jr, NC-17 )

One day I will have like... four people tops left on my flist because of these two, lmao. ♥

Why am I up? Good question. Sadly I don't have a very good answer, just that I have yet to go to bed.

Because my body put my sketchbook on a random page into the scanner before my brain even know what was going on [perhaps on account of it's sleepiness but who can say], here are a few random doodles for you. I personally love sketchdumps. I wish I actually kept a proper sketchbook/sketched more instead of every once in a while being like "Oh yeah, sketchbooks exist!" so that I could share it with you because more people should share those kinds of things.

Regulus/MARLENE? Isn't that a girl's name? In answer the the question that some of you maay be asking: yes, there was an earth-shaking explosion as I drew this elusive creature, that Latin name for which is HETEROSEXUAL REGULUS BLACK. But it was fun. Though... Now that I look at it. Regulus doesn't look too happy.

However! I can explain that!

Long long ago in an RPG that no longer exists there was a Girl named Marlene McKinnon and a Boy named Regulus Black. They dated for a little while and it was pretty nice but it was also filled with fighting and angst because this Girl just could not understand this Boy's political/societal/familial points of view and vice versa. There was happiness and then screaming and then some final bitter experimentation and that was the end of the tale. So I think with that in mind it would be okay for Regulus to be a bit sad lol.

Also I apologise that this final memesketch is so late. I drew it long ago and then put it in a drawer in my desk and only just found it this afternoon and my face looked like this :O
Also I apologise that this final memesketch is just that - a sketch. I believe I would be correct in my memory that you said you wanted a drabble. Sometimes, everyone, my brain forgets very critical information and I just go flailing about MAKING DOODLES when really I should have been writing 100 words. I am sorry. But it is made with love so I hope you like it anyway. Thanks, Bex, for prompting me to remember that Reg was a boy, and there also were girls, can I make it a-ny more ob-vi-ous. I forget a lot of the time.

( + Regulus/Marlene sketch for Bex, PG )

For xdinowhore, because she is adorable and so complimentary and humble and she asked. :D

izzieface, you are such a fantastic friend. You hold the people you love so dear to you, you make us laugh and smile, you always try to be understanding and fair while staying true to who you are, and you are more than willing to offer a shoulder to lean on. I don't believe in labeling my friends as Best at anything, but I mean it with all my heart when I say that out of everyone I know I have never met anyone with as sweet and caring of a personality as you have, all the while maintaining this wonderful spunky attitude and glaring wit. :D You have the wisdom of innocence and are not afraid to share it. You are truly remarkable and I count myself lucky to be your friend.

Sandy and I wanted to put something together for you to thank you for being your amazing self and for allowing us into your life, we truly appreciate it and we both hope you know how much good you do just by being in people's lives. To celebrate the past eighteen years of Izzie, we present to you:

( + A short FRIENDS collaboration of fic and art, G )

I have a curse. It involves total inability to draw people who are freckled. XD I have no idea why, but any Weasley, Barty, Lily, etc... All so so hard for me to do, I mess them up like 85% of the time when I try to do them. So I was worried about this one a bit because I could totally see me ruining it lmao.
But here it is in all it's hetty, freckled "glory". If Charlie does not look anything like Charlie... forgive me. Well same with Hermione, too, I suppose. I used to indulge myself in the occasional Hermione/Charlie fic a few years ago but I seriously can count on one hand the number of times I have drawn either of them in the recent past. But enjoy, my dear! I was happy to give it a shot for you.

( + Charlie/Hermione sketch for Katherine, PG13 for slight nudity )

+ This post has nothing to do with it's title, that song is just randomly stuck in my head lmaoooo.

+ The weather is beautiful today.

+ Soclose to end of school. IT CANNOT COME TOO SOON.

+ Mmm... I have always loved this song but the music video popped into my head this morning and I'm watching it again now and basically it is really good and you should watch it, no matter if you've seen it a hundred times or never even heard the song? Lol.
( Bats For Lashes - Daniel )

+ Someone frickin FORCE me to finish this drawing of Bella dueling that is laying around my room. LMAO. I am so busy/lazy that I did the first half of this drawing, liked it, then never finished. MAKE ME. I do that sooooooooooo often, it's SAD.

+ Related to the above, I always draw everyone naked first then add clothes. Freeeak. Does anyone else do this or am I just obsessed with nudity or something? XD

+ I still want this. :D

+ Also, thanks to everyone who responded to this piercing post. I got LOADS of great feedback, opinions, and advice and I thiiiiink I'm going to go for the Anti-Tragus. :D There will be photos, once I get enough money.

( + young Minerva, pencil, PG-13 for artistic nudity )

( + Now two things from lame art class that is still kinda nice because it forces me to draw lol )

You asked for Sirius. Anywhere. Anytime. And thus I give you: SIRIUS - sometime. Somewhere.
This sketch is slightly more filled in than the Lily/James one purely because he looked weird with too few lines for his hair and he is just one person, not two, lol. Hope you enjoy!

( + Sirius Black sketch for Rhea, PG )

(Also, Rhea did this meme as well and you all should go check out the hilarious drabble she wrote for me.)

(Also also, Patti wrote a wonderful drabble to go along with this sketch.)

I am being forced to work with charcoal and chalk pastels in my art class. The first is a sketch of soggy_zombie dedicated to mizzmoonyluver.

( + Zombie!Regulus, G, charcoal/chalk pastels )

Next, when I got home, Sandy was so cute I had to draw her Remus because she has been such a wonderful one to be for a long long time now and I cherish her ability to play him so realistically and so adorably and remain ever humble every moment. <3

( + Post-full moon Remus, PG for artistic nudity, charcoal/chalk pastels )

You asked for Disney sketch and listed a few ideal options and at first I tried to draw Ariel but lmao do you know how hard mermaid fins are to draw? Then I realised I really wanted to watch Alice in Wonderland soooo it was like perfect. But omg I had to root around downstairs to find the movie and WE HAVE THE VHS, how cool is that, man. :D I hope you like. <33
