Well, December was another wild month; I didn't get to go on the planned businesstrip (that is postponed to the end of January), but I had plenty of stuff to do.

We had elections in the Netherlands; my green party joined a collaboration with the socialist party in the hope of building a big left wing powerblock. Unfortunately more people voted for the angry right and those conservative parties are currently working on a coalition for government. *big sigh*

Happier happenings: my family celebrated Sinterklaas (Photos of the surprise packages I build and received in my Instagram) and my birthday was fun as well (Check out my awesome over the top cake!).

If you're on other socials, I now also have an account on BlueSky, let me know if you want me add/follow you there:) I'll share a complete list of my platforms next year. I will at least continue to share stuff on Dreamwidth and Livejournal. This final post of 2023 is a round-up of my Land of Art graphics.

Challenge 11 - Fake it, Till You Make It )

Challenge 12 - Cracked )

Challenge 13 - A Panoramic Twist )

I handed in Golden Tickets for Challenge 14 - Hide & Seek Characters (Prep) because I was lacking time to come up with approved character types and create banners.

Challenge 15 - A Silver Lining )

For Challenge 16 - Where is the End Point? everyone had to find mazes to share and solve. That was more fun than I initially thought, I did 27 of them! Here, have one, with bonus colouring option:)

Challenge 17 - Associate This! )

Challenge 18 - Characters Wear What? )

That's all for this year, hope to see you here in 2024!

Pff, those were some worlwind weeks since my previous post. In between work being crazy busy (as usual;) I had a long weekend off for a theatre trip to London, including a night at the Leicester Square Theatre for Richard Herring's podcast; he interviewed Tim Key, who presented his book of poems, and Davina McCall, a hero of mine ever since her MTV days, she was so cool and gorgeous. I also met up with an international workfriend:) I shared a bunch of photos at my Instagram:
Part 1: Night Ferry / Breakfast / Undergrond / Rain / Black Friars Bridge / Exploring Bankside (Artsy:) / Shakespeare's Globe! | Part 2: More exploring Bankside (Winchester Palace / As You Like It at Shakespeare's Globe! / Golden Hind galleon) / King's Cross Hotel / IFO (rainbow swing) by IFO Jacques Rival. | Part 3: Saint Chad! (for the SPN RPF fangirls;) / King's Cross / British Library / Detail of St. Pancras railway sculpture frieze (The Meeting Place by Paul Day) / Skeleton at Liberty / Lunch at Mother Mash with G.

I received some great fandom news: after a process of over two (2!) years, the import of the Nick&Greg fic archive WMTDB is finally complete and the collection of over 2000 stories is now safely stored in our own collection at AO3!

I continued to play in Land of Art Phase 21: Challenge 10 was a Halloween/Autumn Edition Scavenger Hunt where we had to find specific images and create a whole bunch of spooky or autumny graphic designs. I dove into all sorts of monster and witches films and also rediscovered the Buffy and Angel fandom:-)
I managed to find all the required images/screenshots and below I'm sharing all the stuff I created; a mood theme, icons, sigtags, picspams, bookmarks, colorbars, headers, panoramas, posters, tumblr graphics and wallpapers!

ALL THE THINGS! )

MORE THINGS! )

With another businesstrip ahead of me, I may have to hand in some Golden Tickets for a few coming challenges to have enough time to do the ones I really want to do. Today I'm working on colouring pages, it's so relaxing getting out the pencils:-)

Uh-oh, Livejournal changed their photo-album lay-out and interface. I don't like change, so it will take some time to get used to all the new bits. All functionality still seems to be intact, so I hope the 14,000+ images I archived over the years are safe.

I'm currently in the middle of [livejournal.com profile] landofart Phase 21 and instead of waiting until the end (in December), I figured I'd already start sharing the graphic designs I created to far. Included fandoms are: Orphan Black, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Supernatural, the Witchter. Enjoy.
(FYI: most of the graphics are clickable for full size)

Challenge 1 - Inspiration Representation  )

Challenge 2 - Multi-Shape Madness )

Challenge 3 - And Scene )
SPN-S07EP08_Scene_Header_Ph21CH03.png

Challenge 4 - When We Were Young )

Challenge 5 is Secret Santa, I didn't sign up for that one, because both giving and receiving anonymous art make me nervous.

Challenge 6 - Halloween Battle (Round 1) )
BATTLE 8: Fog vs Tombstones > TOMBSTONES

Challenge 7 - Facial Features )

Challenge 8 is Seasonal Teamwork, a long running multiple fandom challenge, in which my team SteamPunk works together to create a 24 graphic designs, based on episodes 1-24 of different tv show seasons. Deadline is in December:)

Challenge 9 - Texturized )

Challenge 10 is a Scavengerhunt where you collect or create specific fandom related images before November 15. I will start on that next week. To be continued...

I'm off to London for a long weekend of theatre (Shakespeare! RHLSTP!). What are your plans for the weekend?

This year I will do things a little differently for my [livejournal.com profile] landofart posts. Last time I played, I aimed to include information about all the fonts and sources I had used. I ended up spending more time composing my artposts than making the actual designs, which kind of defeated the purpose of being creative for fun instead of homework.

So for Phase 14 I will share my artworks with only a description of the assignment. If you are curious about the lettering or images, don't hesitate to ask about them; I do love to babble about my creations in the comments:)

I will be posting each challenge right after I handed in the designs. For now, I need to catch up because I already finished three challenges this week!

Phase 14, Challenge 1: Promotion )
----
Phase 14, Challenge 3: Hide & Seek Round 1 )
----
Phase 14, Challenge 5: An Extra Eggy Bunny Day )

I will be doing most of the challenges in chronological order by deadline, but that's not always similar to how they are numbered. Of course I chose to do the Eggy Bunny first so I could do it during the Easterweekend:)

Love to hear what you think of these, as they are very different from the arts & crafts I've been making for fandom most recently:)

The last challenge of Phase 11 started right at the beginning (hence number 5). It was a whole list of different design items for the teams to work on during the whole cycle. We had to hand in all as a team and got individual points and teampoints. I made 2 gifs, 1 picspam, 1 tumblr graphic and an extra colouringpage; three of these designs feature Jeffrey Dean Morgan, *grins*

Woohoo, another coloring page challenge; the theme was Christmas/Winter. I found a complicated scene and a simpler one, so I could do two pages with pencil on paper (I keep forgetting how much time they take, but I love doing them by hand:)

My Colouringpages and where to find them )

That last one is my favorite:)

Yay, a colouring challenge with a Halloween theme! I fell in love with colouring pages in the previous [livejournal.com profile] landofart phase; I even created my own for the latest SPN_Cinema.*
We could submit two pages and I was sad I only had time to do one with pencils. I had so little time, I even brought it with me to work to colour during lunch! (Speaking of lacking time: I used a Golden Ticket for Challenge 15 because I was too busy with SPN artwork)
Besides the elaborate paper page, I also found an adorable simple skeleton drawing that I coloured digitally. So much fun!

Happy belated Halloween! )
