melannen | I arted!

So I just announced to the rest of the Interrobang Studios crew that I had, for the first time ever, posted stupid fanart to my DeviantArt account, and roommate Kevin misheard and thought I had said Scrooge fanart, so I had to admit that I had *written* Scrooge fanfic, because my 2003 Yuletide fic was Scrooge/Marley slash (and it got highlighted on the lj comm today!), and they made faces at me and said "You know I meant Unca Scrooge, right?", so I told them that as far as I knew, I was one of only two people who had written that pairing, and the other one was Henry Jenkins, Director of Media Studies at MIT, and other roommate Sarah said, "Wait, Professor Jenkins? I think he taught my Science Fiction class there. Why didn't I know he did fan studies?"

Ah, geekdom.

Anyway, yes, I have posted stupid fanart at my almost-empty deviantart account. Remember how I mentioned that there are a few LJ comms for pairing I still hang out on? One of them is

best_enemies, the multi-era Master/Doctor community. (And we mean multi-era: the community is currently trying to fill in the chart of all 216 possible Master/Doctor pairings.) And ages ago,

wingedkamui posted fanart of Shalka!Doctor luring Catboy!Master into the Tardis with a mouse.

Since Shalka!Doctor already has a Sexbot!Master of his very own, and since Shalka!Master goes only to doomed planets, it would be perfectly canonical for him to pick up Catboy!Master, and Saxon!Master has access to hammerspace by way of the Toclafane, and hey, planets don't get much more doomed than Professor Yana's .... the phrase "Gotta Catch 'em All" may have been used, and Tenchi Muyo was mentioned.

So I have been in possession of a Doctor/Master As Harem Anime comics bunny for the past year or so, and I finally got through the first set of character designs, and there be postable art:

(click for larger versions.)

This is a promo poster for Who Needs a Doctor? the (existing only in my head) American manga based on the (non-existent) Japanese anime that was very loosely based on the (really real) spin-off Shalka cartoon of the British Doctor Who television series. There are a few (very minor, of course) variations from the original British show, as you may have noticed. (I'm claiming that the crappiness of the art is intentional because I'm parodying bad American manga-style art. ...yes.)

The poster shows the Doctor's "travelling companions" circa the end of season one of the anime: (vaguely left-to-right): Magister-san, Snake, Cheetah, the Master, Harry, Kosch-chan, Yana-Sensei, a Kitling and a Toclafane, Crispy, the Chief, and Vworp the baby TARDIS.

But I also do have a three-season-long plot outline, two 24-page comics scripts, a brand new deviantart account, fortyleven bookmarks from TVTropes, and a bunch more character designs (Time Lady Beautiful President Romanadvoratrelundar! Sexy Time Agent Captain Jack! Dalek Caan, because every anime needs a tentacle monster, and who also accidentally gave me a way to make this CRACK tie in with canon! Rani the Zaftig!)

Will I ever get around to drawing any of the actual comic? ...Rassilon knows!

Yay, you finished it! Now write more! :D

On this one, I'm actually ahead on the writing; it's the drawing that's holding me up. (Oh, Shalka!Doctor, you were designed for flash animation; why are you so hard to turn into a comic??

Also: am starting to sort through stuff.

- do you think kidlets are old enough for microscope, and if not, do you want to hold on to it for me? If I leave it with mom I fear it will get sold, and that would be tragic. D:

- would you guys want my LitterLocker? It has not significantly reduced my litter-scooping-and-tossing-out workload. The benefits don't (for me at least) outweigh the presence of a giant pile of poop (no matter how well sealed it is) sitting in my apt. It might work out better for you guys though. Interested?

(PS Yay openID delegation!)

I doubt we'd use the litter!locker any more than you do; we have too many cats, so it all just goes out as soon as it's cleaned.

And no, I don't think kidlets are quite old enough; why don't you think it would be safe with Mom? I doubt it would be much safer with me, tbh.

K. Well, let me know if you change your mind.

I rescued it from Mom's Definitely Going To Toss Out pile, that's why.

(ooooo! New theme!)

(I can has closed beta invite code?? *is pitiful*)

Yes, but if she *knows* you've claimed it, it should be safe. (That's your old one, not Dad's, right?)

I am waiting for a theme that color-codes the reading page. I can't live without my color-coding. >:|

I have no codes! The only surefire way to get one right now is to write a patch for a known bug. You work with perl, right? :D

I arted!
