Go! Go! Robotendo

Merry Johnmas one and all!

Ho Ho Ho

Snatter's Elves

2011-12-24T11:52:00.000Z

The other day Dave Bulmer asked if I'd draw some suprised looking elves for his advent calendar.

I kinda got carried away...

Episode IV: A New Job

2011-12-15T06:04:00.001Z

So, yeah, on Monday I had an interview for a job as Senior Science Tech at Cathedral School in Wakefield. It was not fun to prepare for (I had to give a 5 minute presentation on My Understanding of the Health and Safety Issues that need to be Considered in this Role, see NOT FUN) and I stumbled quite a bit when it came to the actual interview. However, somehow, they ended up offering me the job! I was in the process of taking one of our ratties to the vets with Kat at the time, so I told them I'd have to think about it because I had a lot on my mind right then, but after they offered me the same money as I'm on now, but term-time only, and with far less travelling I couldn't really turn it down.
We shall just have to wait and see what the new year brings, but until then there's always CHRISTMAS!
Criminy, only 10 days to go! I'd best get my arse in gear!

Cats and Dog

2011-12-06T05:22:00.000Z

I'm glad my sister doesn't read my blog because otherwise I wouldn't be able to post these pictures I've done for her and her husband of their pets until after Christmas! She knows she's getting them (asked for them specifically, including the green backgrounds) but I still want to surprise her. Surprises are awesome.

I've tried to do something completely different from my usual affair using Open Canvas, not sure how well it's worked out, but it was fun to try :)

Panic Stations!

2011-12-05T13:18:00.000Z

Oh man... I've been working on a bunch of pictures for Christmas presents and also a SECRET PROJECT recently, and time is getting a bit tight now, so I got up nice and early yesterday to get some digital painting done and DISASTER! My trusty Wacom Graphire 3(which I think I've had for about 6 years now) just would not work. I spent hours updating drivers and browsing for solutions to no avail, so I had to bite the bullet and got Kat to give me a lift to (the evil) PC World in search of a replacement.

After a bit of perusing I was torn between a cheap Bamboo Pen, for cost efficiency in this period of much spending, or an Intuos 4 S which had £20 off but at £179 was still not cheap...

Needless to say I plumped for the more expensive but ever so nice Intuos and all was well. I just have to let go of my dreams of a 3DS and Mariokart 7 for a while longer...

Steampunk Rabot

2011-11-23T05:41:00.000Z

I've been working on some pictures of Rabot and Chad (who I've realised I haven't posted any drawings of on this here blog yet), based on an idea I had around this time 2 years ago. Man time flies...
Anyhoo, this hasn't got anything to do with that per say, but it is Rabot and with some quickly hashed out steampunk stylings to boot (well, he's made out of copper and brass and there's steam... plus GOGGLES. It must be steampunk if there are GOGGLES, right?)

Thought Bubble

2011-11-20T15:02:00.000Z

Wow, what a crazy weekend. The Thought Bubble festival convention was back at Saviles hall and the Royal Armouries in Leeds again, so yesterday me, Kat (go and Give Yourself a Scone) and John "Jobby" Haworth all made the trip up from Wakefield on the 110 bus, at the ridiculously early time of 8:45AM. It was supposed to be 8:30, but buses being buses...

It's a great convention full of great people, and unfortunately I forgot to take my camera so I go NO PHOTOs, but we got to meet the delightful Timothy Winchester (or TIMCHESTER) again, and I bought some prints and things, including a kickass Link from the new Skyward Sword game by Abby Ryder.

Also, for the first time ever, the convention was over TWO days this year! Today was a bit weird because I went on my own as Kat had work, and Jobby was over in Sheffield. I'm absolutely full of cold, and I had massive social anxiety so apart from following the aforementioned Mr. Winchester around like a lost puppy for a bit I was on my own not really talking to many people/anyone (with the notable exceptions of Jon Lock and Nikki Stu)

Anyways, the main reason I made my way back there in the cold and fog this morning was because they were announcing the winners of the Northern Sequential Art Competition, which I managed to get an entry in for this year (just!)

Thanks for the title John

I really wasn't expecting anything, the field of entries was awesome, but I came away with 3rd place in the Over 18s category, winning me a bunch o' stuff and also my comic appearing in the Thought Bubble anthology next year! Excuse me whilst I do a little dance before collapsing.

The stuff I won

Right, now I'm off to draw Angela Lansbury for Angela Lansbury Week, and you should too. I'm sure The Timchester would be most appreciative.

More Halloween!

2011-11-01T20:50:00.000Z

If my costume wasn't enough, here are a couple more pics! Woooo!

Zombie Katherine:

Brains...

Totoro pumpkin:

Halloween!

2011-11-01T20:47:00.000Z

Happy day late halloween everyone! Hope y'all had fun and got lots of sweets :)
Anyhoo, here's my costume from this year - from work in progress to finished. It took me about 3-4 weeks to get together, and must have totalled over £50-60 overall. So much for making it easier and cheaper this year...

Piranha!

Oh well, I'm pleased with how it turned out, even if the head is a bit oversized (I wouldn't have got it on otherwise!)

Totoro!

2011-09-11T20:56:00.000+01:00

More D&D pictures

2011-09-02T22:47:00.000+01:00

This time it's a bunch of NPCs the party have encountered (or at least were supposed to encounter) so far.

Erandil Zemoar (creeped out the ladies)

Malareth (now beheaded)

Faren Markelhay (didn't get to appear yet)

Traevus (shifty dwarf in a heap of trouble, also not supposed to be so stupid looking...)

I did them all in OpenCanvas5e, mainly to play about with the tools and to give the players something interesting to look at and help fire their imaginations. I'm quite happy with the sketchy-lookingness of it all.

Bonus Pic!

Wales, D&D and Elemental Cheese

2011-08-18T20:37:00.000+01:00

Wow, it's been like... a couple of months? How are you doing?
Though I've not made my internet presence felt for a while, I have, at least, been fairly productive :)

I've finally got a game of D&D up and running with Kat, John, Helen, and Lee, and we've had a few sessions now, despite having had a few weeks off because I was away in Wales with Kat (more about that later). It seems to be going well, I've got a lot to learn about being a good DM though, and I feel I need to engage some of the players a bit more. Lee seems to be getting right into it though, and his character, Rangu, has a tendency for the insane (setting fire to a table full of flasks of volatile liquids in a necromancer's lab and trying to leap 20 feet from a table onto a bookcase to name just a couple of instances)

ANYWAY, onto the productiveness! I've drawn some pictures of the characters in the group which I've used to make minis (laminated and stuck in little card stands) for use in the game. Which I will post pictures of when I actually get round to thinking about taking some.

These first three pictures we done as a colaboration with Lee, who came up with the rough sketches and designs, which I elaborated on:

Rangu, Human Mage

Ellie Halfpenny, Halfling ~~Fighter~~ Paladin

Fallon Nor'hi, Elf Warpriest

and the next one was an excercise in drawing Kat's character on my own:

Harriet Havenborn, Human Thief

She's supposed to be pressed up against a wall, about to look around the corner, but for the sake of clarity I decided against proper backgrounds (the texture was from a tutorial in making battle maps by Jonathan Roberts, which I found at http://www.newbiedm.com/, here)
I want to draw some proper scenes with them all in at some point when I have the time :)

As previously mentioned I also recently spent two weeks in Wales with Kat, which was awesome. Spent a week camping in Llanwchllyn just south of Lake Bala (or Llyn Tegid), which was really nice. Had a ride on a steam narrow gauge railway up the side of the lake, went for walks, had awesome food at a local pub, went on the lake in a deflating dinghy (and Kat swam in it) and rescued a sheep at one point.
The second week we spent in Pembrokeshire, in a cottage in village called Solva, with Kat's family. That was also fun, and the weather pretty much held out all week, so we got to go to the beach a lot. I got tonnes of photos (which I may post on flickr at some point when I get round to sorting them out) and did a couple of small watercolours:

Solva

Traeth Llyfn beach

I wish I'd had the chance/willing to do more actually. I need the practice!

Also, on monday, I went to London with John and there we me up with Timothy Winchester! He bought us lunch and ice creams and a lovely day was had by all!
Here's a photo of those two stood in front of a giant M&Ms shop that was too scary to go inside

Fan-Art Friday #15: Kirby Sketches

2011-06-24T14:35:00.000+01:00

I'm back, with a couple of Kirby sketches I've just doodled up because I really needed to post something!

Fighter Kirby is my favourite :)

In other news: I've become obsessed with D&D 4th Edition (despite not actually playing it properly yet...) and I've discovered I like dice!

Fan-Art Friday #14: Wizard Week!

2011-05-27T19:36:00.000+01:00

Toda is a bit of a cheeky Fan-Art Friday because I didn't technically draw this for today, I drew it for Timothy Winchester's Wizard Week!

Embiggen Me!

In other news, Fan-Art Friday may be updated a bit sporadically for a few weeks because I'm working on a comic with my friend John

Fan-Art Friday #13: Samurai Jack

2011-05-20T23:51:00.000+01:00

Long ago in a distant land, I, Ben, the shape-shifting master of darkness, spent 3 hours trying to sort out a wireless network bridge to get the comp in the bedroom connected to the internet...

I failed...

Here's a rubbish samurai jack watercolour!

It was a bit of an experiment because I thought I'd try and not pencil any outlines first! I'd done a rough sketch on a scrap of paper, but just went straight in and painted this. It's not turned out great, but I learned a bit from it :)

Fan-Art Friday #12: Ramona Flowers

2011-05-13T19:58:00.000+01:00

Another last minute Fan-Art Friday! This week I have been busy doing sketches for a COMIC, that I'm working on with Jobby the Job :)

I wanted to draw a lady today, because I (generally) suck at drawing the fairer sex, especially trying to keep them in my style (which is hard enough to pin down at the best of times). Anyhoo, after a few failed attempts at drawing the lovely Amy Pond (suggested by my even lovlier girlfriend Kat ^_^), I sketched this pic of Ramona Flowers from Scott Pilgrim Vol. 2

Brian Lee O'Malley has excellent skills at drawing characters of both sexes in a consistent, expressive style and (despite being a bit of a latecomer to the whole Scott Pilgrim thing) his books have been a massive influence on me.

Fan-Art Friday #11: Rincewind

2011-05-06T23:20:00.001+01:00

Didn't think I'd make it in time today but Hah! Look!

Anyhoo... I'm too tired to write a post right now so I'll do that tomorrow (that's not against the rules!)

G'night!

:update:

It's Saturday Morning (who's gonna play with me?) and I'm feeling much more awake! Also, it's Free Comic Book Day today!

So, yesterday's Fan-Art Friday picture was everyone's favourite failed-wizzard Rincewind. I wasn't sure what to draw this week, but then I saw this posted on Timothy Winchester's blog, and I've been listening to a lot of Discworld radio series on BBC Radio ~~Seven~~ 4extra (cringe...), and so inspiration hit.

I would send this over to Mr. Winchester for Wizard Week, but I've had another idea for what to draw for that!

Fan-Art Friday #10: Totoro!

2011-04-29T11:44:00.000+01:00

A bit of a quick sketch this week I'm afraid, as it's been rather busy round these parts recently (despite me being off work more than I've been there the past couple of weeks...)

Right, now I'm off camping in Leyburn for a couple of days! Au revoir!

Fan-Art Friday #9: Professor Layton and the Curious Spillage

2011-04-22T14:55:00.000+01:00

This week I have been mostly playing Professor Layton on my DS and Portal 2 on the Xbox360 (which I picked up yesterday, and so far so awesome)

A true gentleman never gets involved with a psychotic A.I.

Now this would be an excellent crossover!

Fan-Art Friday #8: Brock Samson

2011-04-15T21:06:00.000+01:00

Tadaa! A new Fan-Art Friday! I had drawn something else this week, but I left my sketch-pad at work and haven't been since Wednesday... :(
Anyhoo! Here's a pic based on a sketch I did last week when I got Venture Bros. Season 2 on DVD!

After the twist, you'll feel a snap and the body goes ragdoll on you

Go team venture!

Fan-Art Friday #7: I'ma Luigi, number one!

2011-04-08T19:35:00.001+01:00

Bit of a quick, late Fan-Art today... Was planning on doing something yesterday but it all went horribly wrong, so here's a quick sketch of Luigi all coloured up.

Super Brother

Fan-Art Friday #6: Mothra

2011-04-01T17:21:00.000+01:00

April Foo's Day, sucka! My head is cleanly attached! :)

Also, I did a picture, in celebration of Mothra's Day this Sunday

I'm going out for a curry with my Mothra tonight, and I baked her a cake!

Fan-Art Friday # Cancelled!

2011-04-01T07:48:00.002+01:00

There will be NO Fan-Art Friday today!

Also my head has dropped off.

Fan-Art Friday #5: You're in charge, Tepig!

2011-03-25T11:28:00.000Z

This week I have been mostly playing Pokémon White.

I've always been one for Water-Type starting Pokémon, but after the debacle that was Piplup and it's evolutions from Diamond and Pearl I thought I'd give the cute firey pig a try!

Now, if I could just find a decent water pokemon somewhere...

Fan-Art Friday #4: M.O.D.O.K

2011-03-18T06:07:00.000Z

Hopefully I won't put my foot in it big style again like I did last week...

It was my birthday yesterday! I'm now 29 of your Earth years old, and got a heap-ton of cool presents :)
One of which was Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 (thank you Kat <3)
Anyhoo, seeing as it is March and all, here's a quick sketch of M.O.D.O.K I did yesterday (and inked on the bus)

I've not had chance to colour it, and his legs look kinda funky, but hey-whaddya want from an old man?

Japan Earthquake

2011-03-11T19:40:00.001Z

What bad timing for a post with a fanart of godzilla.

This is crazy...

Fan-Art Friday #3

2011-03-11T09:28:00.001Z

I've been been off work with a really bad cold the past couple of days, so my time has been spent productively watching old episodes of batman and DVDs, including Godzilla Vs. SpaceGodzilla!

Speaking of which, I really need to get working on more UberJobby Vs. pictures...

Fan-Art Friday #2

2011-03-04T20:33:00.000Z

It's Friday again (just barely) so time for some fan-art!

First up we have Reginald and Beartato from nedroid.com, and also (for my girlfriend especially) Reginald's comic-strip cat Bartholomew!
Nedroid is drawn and created by the immensely talented Anthony Clark, who also happens to colour the awesome Adventures of Dr.McNinja.

Go check them out!

Uberjobby Vs. Fan-Art Friday!

2011-02-25T08:15:00.001Z

Doo doo doo dooooo! It's Friday! And I have not one, but TWO new projects!
The first is a series of pictures called "Uberjobby Vs.", which pit the infamous Uberjobby against a variety of foes, and the second is what I like to call "Fan-Art Friday", where I do some fan-art and post it on a friday. Mainly to just try and keep me being productive.

Anyway, to kick both things off at once here's "Uberjobby Vs. People I Know"

(click to embiggen)

People I Know is a webcomic by the very talented Mr. Timothy Winchester, who I met last year at Thought Bubble, when the real Uberjobby insulted the aformentioned Mr. Timothy Winchester's lack of beard.

Go check it out!
(the webcomic that is... not people's beards or lack thereof. Unless you're that way inclined of course. 'Tis a free country)

Rabot 4565

2011-02-13T20:48:00.001Z

New design of an old character! Done a few sketches of him this week, this is the first I've inked and coloured. Definitely be seeing more of him in the ~~near~~ future :)

What's up doc?

EDIT: Haha! I've just come back to this and realised that despite drawing it in Feb of 2011, I've signed it from 2010. I guess it takes a long time for the future to catch up with me!

Effin' A!

2011-02-04T13:28:00.000Z

If this happens and they get it right, it could very well be The Best Thing Ever!

Pikachuuuu!

2011-01-30T20:57:00.000Z

Thank You!

2011-01-25T20:54:00.000Z

Ok, so I haven't uploaded anything yet this past week, however! I did do a picture of Sephiroth for my friend Anna's (belated) birthday, but it's sat on her mantle piece so no show. I'll get something drawn and uploaded this week though!
Anyhoo, to the title of this post, first I wanna say thanks to Anna for inviting me and Kat over to her flat in Birmingham for Karting and birthday stuff. I sucked at Karting, but it was an awesome weekend nonetheless.
Secondly I wanna thank whoever found my phone on the number 36 bus this morning and handed it in at Harrogate bus station! I know the chances of them reading this are about a billion to one but, hey, you never know.

Super Mario Kart!

2011-01-16T17:29:00.000Z

First SNES game I ever bought! Unfortunately I no longer have the cartridge, but I've been playing it again on the Wii (whenever I'm not spending my time in New Vegas :P) and I'm going ACTUAL karting next weekend, IN REAL LIFE! w00t!

The Very Late Happy New Year Post!

2011-01-10T19:52:00.000Z

Happy new(ish) year!
I've fallen a bit behind on the old blog posting since I finished the advent calendar waaay back in December. It's not my fault though! I'm absolving myself of all responsibility and placing it squarely on the shoulders of Fallout: New Vegas, and the people who decided to employ me at my new job. IT'S ALL THEIR FAULT!
Anyhoo, I'm gonna try and update more frequently with at least 1 post a week and a sketch or picture or something, just so I don't slack off with my drawing. Although, that sounds a bit new years resolutiony, and I suck with new years resolutions, so let's just pretend it's not, okay?

Advent Calendar - Door number 25

2010-12-25T06:00:00.000Z

Merry Christmas everyone! Ho Ho Ho!

It's the final door! I wonder what it could be...?

There ain't no gettin' off of this train we on!

It's the FINAL day of ADVENT, and we have some CHILDREN performing a nativity! Actually... they don't look like children at all, there's a couple of blokes, one's got a beard and the other one's smoking... and that baby looks a bit old. In fact it all looks a bit like FANTASY to me...

Advent Calendar - Door number 24

2010-12-24T06:00:00.001Z

It's CHRISTMAS EVE! w00t!

Here we go with door 24:

A Mental Dentist Office

Ooh, today's door was located ON SANTA'S FOREHEAD... I think it's in his MIND!

I dunno what that kid's doing in there though, jumping around on that floaty orange ball thing of his. He sounds very familiar though, kind of like INVADER ZIM weirdly enough.

Advent Calendar - Door number 23

2010-12-23T06:00:00.001Z

It's December 23rd! The day before the day before the day that is the best day in the world! (thank you Paul and Storm)

Time for door the 23!

Rock and Roll!

Ooh, MEGA! It's some carollers! (No-one ever says MEGA any more do they?)

Advent Calendar - Door number 22

2010-12-22T06:00:00.001Z

December the 22nd! Not long left... Door time!

How appropriate, you fight like a cow!

Today we have a couple of people on an ISLAND! I don't think the lady likes her present of a t-shirt...She probably thinks the GUY is a MONKEY or something...

Advent Calendar - Door number 21

2010-12-21T06:00:00.001Z

When santa got stuck in the chimney, he began to shout; "Look, there's Door 21!"

Anything but tangerines

Behind today's door is an EARTHWORM, with a SUPER-SUIT no less! It doesn't seem to be helping him against that festive turkey though, does it?

Advent Calendar - Door number 20

2010-12-20T06:00:00.001Z

Door 20! Only 5 more to go after this...

Curry and Rice

Bottle fight between the guy in RED and the guy in BLUE! Oh, no, wait it's a cracker they've pulled! I mean, why would they fight with bottles when they've got those GUNS there?

Advent Calendar - Door number 19

2010-12-19T06:00:00.001Z

Oe the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful and since we've no place to go, let it snoe, let it snoe let, it snoe! Also, let's open the next door!

Do do do dooooooo!

That's nice, the young green ELF-type guy got a nice pair of christmassy socks to keep his feets warm whilst he NAVI-gates through the snows!

Advent Calendar - Door number 18

2010-12-18T06:00:00.001Z

Saturday, December 18th, 2010. Only 1 week(s) remaining till the Big Day! Hooray! Let's open us up an advent door to celebrate!

TYPE B

It's all YELLOW and GREEN today! All of the sudden BLOCKS came tumbling down from the sky and formed a Chrimbmass Tree! With Presents! How very festive indeed.

Advent Calendar - Door number 17

2010-12-17T06:00:00.000Z

17 is my lucky number! Hooray!
Although I've never won anything with it, nor has it caused me any luck of any kind... I wonder if Door 17 will change all that?!?

Skiddy attack!

Ooh, look, we have a FISH, and a GHOST-thing with shades, and a BIRD-thing and something that looks like a CAT but also like it's wearing a costume... This seems a bit weird...

Oh, but at least they are building a snoeman! It looks a bit like the bird thing, but not quite. I wonder what that's all about, eh?

Advent Calendar - Door number 16

2010-12-16T06:00:00.003Z

December the 16th is PAYDAY! Plus we get another door! Let's see what's behind it shall we?

This was a triumph

The Christmas CAKE is a LIE!

Oh, sorry I don't know what came over me just then for a second... Anyhoo, today we have a box! Or rather it's some kind of CUBE, probably WEIGHTED. And it's falling between some APERTUREs in the floor and ceiling... I wonder what it's COMPANIONs make of it?

Advent Calendar - Door number 15

2010-12-15T06:00:00.003Z

Chestnuts roasting on a nopen fire, jackfrost knocking on my dore...
Door 15 to be precise!

No bazooka fired bonus!

Argh, look out behind you guy! There's a ZOMBIE, in a Santa costume, and a creepy dolly popping out of a box! In other news i ATE MY tea whilst watching NEIGHBOURS last night ;)

Advent Calendar - Door number 14

2010-12-14T06:00:00.002Z

Tis the season to be jolly! Falalalalaaa lalalalaa! Door 14 beckons!

Lucozade!

It's a FROG, isn't that just SUPER? And that green thing looks a bit like an off-coloured SPUD, doesn't it?

Advent Calendar - Door number 13

2010-12-13T06:00:00.001Z

Monday December the 13th! Over halfway through! I wonder what will be behind today's door?

Final Lap!

It's a turtle-like thing riding a CLOUD! I wonder who he could be fishing for with that present? It's got 1-UP MUSHROOMS on it! I hope it's got a 1-UP MUSHROOM inside!

Advent Calendar - Door number 12

2010-12-12T06:00:00.001Z

On the Twelfth Day of December my true-love gave to me...!
Another door to the advent calendar!

Get a belt

It's a couple of ALIENS! And they've CRASH LANDED! Luckily though they've landed in a pile of PRESENTS :D

Now if you'll excuse me I need to go rub some fruit preserve onto the ends of my feet, I have a member of the aristocracy coming to visit.

Advent Calendar - Door number 11

2010-12-11T09:51:00.001Z

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the ways! Robin just laid an egg, and so we open door 11 of the calendar! Are you excited? I hope so!

Yahoo!

It looks like we've dropped in on Santa's Grotto! But that Santa seems a bit creepy... He's just wearing pants instead of trousers! He is wearing a lot of RED though. And the elf on the left, isn't that ROBERT from ART OF FIGHTING? No?? Well... I wonder who it could be. I'm drawing A BLANK on the green guy too...

Advent Calendar - Door number 10

2010-12-10T06:00:00.001Z

Remember, remember the 10th of December.
Why's that you ask? Well... umm... It'd just be a bad day to forget! You'd miss an advent calendar day for one! Speaking of which, OPEN THE DOOR MARKED 10!

This is not a true ending!

It's two little guys! One's a small child wearing dungarees and jumping over a RAINBOW, and the other seems to be some kind of dinosaur-thing blowing BUBBLES.
Ooh, Huge Jackman just snikted his claws and whispered something in my ear... I didn't really catch what he said, his voice was rather gravelly, but I think it ended in BOB... or umm, was that BUB?

Advent Calendar - Door number 9

2010-12-09T06:00:00.001Z

Nein! Nein! Ja!
It's December the 9! Time for door 9! Now.. where is it?

Aha! Here we go!

Royal Rainbow!

Ooh, we have been graced with ROYALTY today! And he's ROLLED up a load of christmassy thing for us! Hooray!

Advent Calendar - Door number 8

2010-12-08T06:00:00.000Z

December the 8th! Door the 8th!

Do do do do

It's an INVADER! From SPACE!

I think that about covers it.

Oh! Christmas tree!

2010-12-07T22:15:00.000Z

Advent Calendar - Door number 7

2010-12-07T06:00:00.001Z

D-D-D-December 7th! Let's open the 7th Door. I wonder if it will be something to do with the 7th Guest??

Torture Trouble

Nope! Nothing to do with the 7th Guest!
It's a FUZZY WUZZY, I really think he needs to lay off the mulled wine though otherwise he's likely to wind up with a hangover and FLAMMABLE HALITOSIS!
He might need it though, if that DEMON behind him has his way... :S

Advent Calendar - Door number 6

2010-12-06T06:00:00.002Z

Another cold, cold day in December, another advent door to open!

Let's get ready to rumble!

Behind today’s door is an ant! No, wait, that’s no ant, it’s a NINJA, from the Nth DIMENSION! And he comes bearing CHUPA CHUPSTM, how nice of him :)

Advent Calendar - Door number 5

2010-12-05T06:00:00.001Z

December the Fived! Only 20 days to go! Today we get our Christmas Tree for the flat! Hooray!
Before that though, let us see what is behind today's door...

Bomb Up!

Huzzah! This guy's got a christmas pudding! But why does he look so confused?
What's that? It's not a christmas pudding? It's a BOMB?!?!
ER ner! Run away MAN!

Advent Calendar - Door number 4

2010-12-04T06:00:00.001Z

Doo doo doo! A new day, a new door! Door 4! (ooh, that rhymes) On with the show!

Oh No!

Aww, what a cute lil' guy, though he seems a bit stupid. I mean, he's just walked off a cliff! Luckily he had that umbrella with him, so he could FLOAT down ^_^

Advent Calendar - Door number 3

2010-12-03T06:00:00.003Z

It's the 3rd of December! I have an interview this morning at Leeds Grammar School, so let's relax with a little calendaring! What will we see today??

Yes Sir!

It's a pink, legless thing, and it looks very happy to be getting a present. Though, the present itself seems to be BAA-ing. I wonder if it's a SHEEP...?

Remember kids a SHEEP is for (ending) life, not just for Christmas.

Advent Calendar - Door number 2

2010-12-02T06:00:00.001Z

Let's see who's behind door number 2 of our little advent calendar!

Wacca Wacca Wacca

Now who's this fellow? He seems to resemble some kind of yellow pizza or pie with a slice cut out. Or maybe even a PUCK, man.

Advent Calendar - Door number 1

2010-12-01T06:00:00.003Z

Let's see who's behind door number 1....

Prince of the Yolk-Folk

It's an... egg? With boxing gloves?

Here is a pic of my Halloween costume from this year :D

The Epic Videogame Christmas Advent Calendar Project 2010

2010-11-26T14:44:00.001Z

I don't like using the word 'Epic'. It's far, far too overused nowadays... however I kinda think uploading a new Christmassy themed watercolour picture of a (possibly obscure) videogame character every day in December up till Christmas is kind of epic - for a master procrastinator such as myself at least ;)

Roll on December 1st!
