Wondercon art cards, phase one: inking.

So, in an effort to get people to stalk me -- I mean, ah, 'track me down' -- at Wondercon, I have declared that the first ten people to track me down and ask me about Rosemary and Rue will receive, gratis and on-the-spot, a specially drawn art card made entirely for the purpose of being given away to at-con, er, trackers.

Because I never work very well under 'you must do X by Y and PS don't screw it up' pressure, I decided the best way not to make this a crazy-making thing would be to do it entirely at random -- as in, just sit down, draw ten art cards, and whatever they turn out to be, that's what Wondercon gets. So I did. And the result was...

1. The Kitsune Girl from the Babylon Wood.
2. A very unhelpful turtle.
3. Toby, stark naked, in a pond, looking pissed.
4. Angie the centaur pirate (long, long story).
5. Bunny with an Electric Knights poster behind her.
6. The Rose-Owl from the Babylon Wood.
7. Cassie Hack from Hack/Slash.
8. Alice Healy with a nice cake.
9. Velveteen in her Junior Super Patriots yearbook picture.
10. A man-eating plant eating a human arm.

Don't worry if not all of those make sense to you -- they barely all make sense to me, and I drew them. Still, I think they're all pretty nifty, and I'll scan them in after I've had a chance to color them.

Life is good. Time to sleep.

So. *coughs* I feel I have fulfilled my stalking requirements for the month, having been stalking you (well, I say you, I mean your LJ, surely for the purposes of the internet they are interchangeable?) for the past ... maybe two months? I love the Thoughts On Writing. And ... well, the crazy in general. ^^

And I wish I was going to Wondercon. (And could have gone to Comic Con, and all the other wonderful cons you Americans have. But alas, I live on the other side of the world, and must content myself with the occaisional half-hearted anime fest.) However this just made such a wonderful post from which to go 'hi! I'm Alex. and you are awesome and I want to buy your book (eventually.) may I friend you?'

*grins* So. May I?

Welcome, incredibly genial stalker! Yes, of course you may friend me, and thank you for enjoying our local brand of the crazy. :) Which part of the other side of the world are you on? I often find myself envying England their Discworld cons, but that's because I'm a big ol' geek. (I just envy Australia their many, many poisonous snakes.)

Oooh! Incredibly genial stalker! I think I might keep that one. ^^ (I, er, should also mention I am an incredibly sleep-deprived stalker. So the wit, she is not so much with me tonight.)

And though I have lived for two years in England I am indeed from (and currently residing in) good ol' Down Under. Which I am currently referring to as The Land Of Flood And Fire. Because it is not only persistent, but also very effective in trying to kill us all.

I share your love for both Discworld and snakes. Although I am good with all kinds, not just the poisonous. One of my favourite sections of The Last Continent combines the two, where Death did a search for 'Dangerous Flora and Fauna of Fourecks' and was crushed under piles of books, and then did a search for 'Non-Dangerous Flora and Fauna of Fourecks' and was eventually rewarded with a single sheet of paper which said simply 'some of the sheep'. It's funny 'cos it's true.

Also: I ramble. So I will go now and thank you for your indulgence. ^^ One thing to leave you with: We also have Discworld Conventions in Aus, though not quite as awesome as the UK. But we do have awesome ads. :)

Wit is not a requirement when there has been a shortage of sleep on the side of either party. Promise.

As for Australia -- which I usually refer to as 'The Land of Poison and Flame' -- I am really looking forward to WorldCon 2010, since that's going to be the first real excuse I've ever had to go and make my visit. I am going to ENJOY Australia. Hopefully without dying horribly.

Rambling is always permitted.
