Swordsmen, Sharingan and Birthdays

Wait... Did She Just Reference Naruto?

Yep, I certainly doo-dah did. I don't really have the time to be writing this post because I should be revising so I'll keep it short. 

I just got my boyfriend (Yeah I have a boyfriend - Whaaaaaat?) into anime - namely, Naruto. He's still a rookie (I am very much not ^.^) but for his 18th birthday Eww, we're old now. I drew him this Zabuza/Kakashi Card. It took me a bloody awfully long time to draw so I insisted he pretend it was great, which he did. *sob* Anyway, I took progress pictures and here it is :)

Zabuza-Kakashi Birthday Card

February 2016 

Progress Picture 1 - Outline
This was when I was optimistic about this - my mood gets worse the further
 down you go.

The Finished Article!
I did get stressed doing this but overall it was really therapeutic and I was pleased in the end. 

That's MY Ninja Way...

Yeah, sorry, I've run out of original thoughts. "Did she have any in the first place?!" But there you have it. Very many weeks of disjointed work to produce this. I put a lot of effort into it and I hope it comes through. 

Thanks for grazing my corner of the internet. 

WE WENT TO STROKE PENGUINS
(Belated Birthday Present for Ed)
This is Dingle the Penguin. No, he's not
TECHNICALLY from Cambridge but shhh...

Stay Awesome, from both me and the REAL penguin of Cambridge!

P.S. I edited a few of them by just
making them Black and White because
they looked like this since I took the
pictures in the evening and I wanted
them all to match :) #OCD

No Apologies

Yeah, I said it!

No apologies coming from this gal - I've read so many apologetic posts (including my own) when people don't update and I feel like it really shouldn't matter. We do what we can and it's a little boring hearing relentless "sorry"s isn't it? 'Yes,' replies the reader.  So since this is all for me and should bring no one else ever in the world any joy - I'm gonna go ahead and post whenever the damn hell I want to... That was rude I'm-... not sorry? (This is hard!)

One Step Sketch at a Time

I have a fair amount of drawings that I want to put up but since there's no rhyme or reason to many of them - I will probably just slap an individual one up every so often because previous posts were trying to be- erm... I'm sure there's a word for what I'm thinking right now but I haven't the foggiest what it is so I'll go with groupy? inclusive? Eh, either way, I was trying to group sketches in a way that made sense but, since I make no sense myself, it would make a lot more sense to not make so much sense. Wait what am I saying?

That escaped me slightly and very unintentionally added to the lack of sense. 

Contradiction!

However, for this post in particular, forget that - because I've just decided to put the set of 3 drawings I gave my bro-in-law/best bud eva (Eww, shut up Beth) 

SHUT UP AND GET ON WITH IT! - said no one in particular

Naruto and his Enemies

Christmas 2015

Young Naruto vs. Kyuubi

Genin Naruto vs. Orochimaru

Grown Naruto (vs. Tobi *cough*)

It's supposedly his biggest enemies at that age but it was a loose connection and I kinda think they would've looked better without the back-people (words?) But Oh Well, stop moping, Beth.
In the last one, I did draw Masked Man but I don't actually have a picture of that but oh well, let's be honest - the background look kinda rubbish but I think at least the last Naruto turned out alright. I did these in a super short time period because it was a present and I wanted to do them well but they didn't turn out fab :/ I said STOP moping, not continue regardless!

The most important thing was that the receiver of said gift really liked it so that made me super happy. Go Anime Fans!

Stay awesome, e'ryone. 

P.S - Two posts in two days?! What's this all about?! 

I'm Tired... and Wired

Shhh... What's that Sound? 

It's the sound of my head hitting my desk. Repeatedly.  

I have decided that coffee is a lie that we humans sell ourselves to get us through the day. I have come to this conclusion after many trips to well know coffee shop to do work resulting in a not only more tired but also highly wired Beth. Whilst this may be entertaining for onlookers as I stare worriedly at passers-by wondering why everyone else is so slow, for me it poses a problem. 2 hours after coffee and my head is pounding and I feel sick. Yet, every time I have a afternoon off, I insist on saying "A large soya mocha to have-in, please." (this statement is well rehearsed by now) 

Not only do I feel rubbish but it has not improved my brain functionality in the slightest. And so, I am going on a detox. Swapping water for coffee, apples and peppers for cake. (I hear your snorts of haughty derision - I will do this! Just watch!) I am hoping to see some kind of improvement in skin, temperament and general ability to function but I won't expect too much. 

What was I getting at? Oh Yeah - 

As you may be able to tell, I am slightly disheartened at the moment. I have tried to overcome this by sending my wonderful, wonderful old friend a letter and a drawing because she now resides in Wales and I miss her terribly. (If you're reading this - I miss you!) So, yeah, this whole thing was talking about this one picture that I doodled. It wasn't particularly great but it reminded me of the fun memories of my first MCM Comicon that she took me too. 

MCM Banter 2013

Oh the memories!
May 2013?

Pencil drawing
My own creation, Anime style

I sent her a colour copy but I don't have that any more so this will have to suffice. I like this little doodle. I hope she did too. 

Stay Awesome, guys. 

Side Note - I hope to hear from you soon dear! ^.^
