A Cover for ras_elased's Merlin/Star Trek fusion which I'm so looking forward to. *g*

( and a star to steer her by... )

I've worked on the chart for the annual advent calendar so that i finally can start working on it. Since December comes nearer with every day (and with it finally my two weeks vacation, yeah!)

Anyway, I wanted to give you the stats:

4x American Idol (Even if I said only 3 per fandom)
3x SGA/Hewligan
2x NCIS
1x True Blood
1x CKR
1x Forbidden Love
1x Buffy
1x X-Over
1x Pushing Daisies
1x Leverage
1x Angel
1x Merlin
1x CSI
1x Twilight
1x Big Lebowski
1x Doctor Who
1x SPN
2x I don't know yet

So, anyone who can count will realise that there are 25 arts. Well, I just can't say no to friends who demand last minute Twilight Edward/Bella pics and The Dude arts. *g*

I guess, I'll have to open photoshop now that everything is organised. *g*

I'll try to answer comments later. I know I'm bad with that these days but work is really taking up most of my time.

I feel like I should get my creative juices flowing before I start with the whole calendar thing. So, have some Merlin/Arthur art:

Flist, I've only 8 of 22 wishes so far. Don't make me do all the work alone. ;)

Spread the word!

The Annual Pre-Christmas-Calendar

... but I've started a new job that leaves me not a lot of time for fandom things. So I thought I'd make the announcement this early that I have enough time to make everything on time.

So, flist, it's time for the...

Annual Pre-Christmas-Calendar


You know how it works: 24 days, 24 pieces of fanart!

You tell me what you want and what day (except for the 5th and the 24th) and you shall receive. Give me a fandom, ships, colors, themes, icons, cd-banners, wallpapers, ficbanner, lyrics or something completely different.

My fandoms are: Everything CKR, everything David Hewlett, Battlestar Galactica, Stargate Atlantis, Due South, Doctor Who, Torchwood, Veronica Mars, Friday Night Lights, Heroes, Supernatural, The O.C., Babylon 5, Buffy, Pushing Daisies, Psych, CSI, NCIS, Christian/Oliver, Without a Trace, Merlin, J2, Leverage, Burn Notice, ...

But other fandoms or perhaps something else are OK too. I'm flexible (That sounds dirty *g*).

I have one constriction this year. Only three pieces per fandom. So first come, first served.
And please try to be more specific than "BSG, Kara".

I know I've promised some other arts tp several people. I haven't forgotten, I'll get to it when I have time. The same with comments that I haven't answered yet.

Oh, and spread the word! Plenty of slots to fill.


ETA: Closed!

Just to keep you informed. I started a new blog about more personal stuff. I'll post the links to the entries here for anyone interested.

http://neuesausdemwald.blogspot.com/2009/08/mittelalter-in-der-drachenstadt.html

The title of the blog "neues.aus.dem.wald" means "news from the forest", since I moved back to the Bavarian Forest and my friends always teased me when I returned from a visit there if I got any news from the forest.

Hey, guys! I'm not dead. I finally finished moving (except for my books, which still wait to be put on shelves) and I'll start work in a week. I'm very behind on reading the Merlin BB, the SPN BB and all kind of SGA things.

And I should get to all those promised things. And to my new blog. And my facebook account modifications. And, and, and... But I feel very exhausted these days and go to bed way earlier than a month ago. There's just too much to do here. Perhaps when I've finally settled into a kind of routine.

Since my last vidding project reminded me of all the fun it can make, I want to try another. It will probably be finished in six months but I want to make a vid for "The Name of the Rose". I've got the perfect song and I just love that movie. Does anyone on my flist know it?

Merlin Season 2 Pics are out and everyone looks so pretty. Esp. Gwen. I really can't wait. And those SPN promos really make me very excited. God, tv season starts again soon and I still haven't watched all that stuff in my backlog.

And jerakeen, I read one of those Idol fics you've recced. And I liked it. But you don't need to send me any links because I don't have time for it. I'll just check your older entries when that changes. *g*

ETA: If anyone wants to play:
Ask me my fannish Top Five [Whatevers]. Any top fives. Doesn't matter what, really! And I will answer them in a new post.

The Merlin Big Bang is alive! (and since I'm moving tomorrow I have no time for reading :(

Anyway, I just wanted to post the links to my stuff: Art for Time of Trial

I made a banner, three wallpapers and an artwork and created a little trailer.

My story was In Time of Trial by Shine, which is really epic. It's a great idea with lots of tension, great love scenes and really exciting fast paced scenes. It's Merlin/Arthur, but at the same time there's a lot about the relationship between Arthur and Uther (not in that way).The OC is well written and feels like a real person.
What are you waiting for? Go and read! *g*

It's one week left till I move. I'm currently packing and cleaning which is as much fun as one thinks. *g*

My moving date falls on the release date of the Merlin Big Bang. As much as I'm looking forward to reading all the wonderful stories, I'll probably have to wait some time till I have a few hours to just sit down and read long stories. It's the same with the SPN-Big Bang. There are so many great stories that I'll read one day in the future, but they are just too long for now.
Anyway, I've made several pieces for the Merlin Big Bang. My story was really inspiring and you all should read it at once when it's released. I've made a vid, two banners and three wallpapers.

Since I'm enjoying my last days in Bamberg I'm visiting places I've never been to and always wanted to. Last friday a friend and I went to the New Residence, the baroque castle of the prince bishop with its emperial hall and the paintings gallery. Here are some pcitures:

( pretty, pretty pictures )

Tonight I'll make my last guided tour and then my working days in Bamberg are over.

After my move I'll have some free time till I start my new job. And then I'll try to work through my backlog of stuff I promised. (And then I guess it's almost advent again ;)

God, I had forgotten how much fun (and how frustrating) vidding can be. *g*

I saw HP today. I thought it was kinda meh, but it reminded me how much I love Ron and Rupert Grint.

I'll move in three weeks, which means much stress now and seperation from my friends soon. To keep in contact (other than by phone or visits) I plan to write a regular blog. There will be some private stuff, posts about differents topics from the area I'll move to, pictures, drawing and paintings, recipes I'll try, things I work on (I plan to be more creative in the handmade area) and the occasional quote.

The question now if if anyone here is interested in this new blog. I had planned to write in German, but when there's interest I could write in English or in both languages.

All my fandom stuff will stay here, so whoever is here for that, don't worry.

Should I write in...?

( spoiler for TW Series 3 and SPN Season 3... )

I swear I'll get to those unanswered comments. RL is a bitch. And I still have to work on my Merlin Big Bang assignment. I've already made a cover, but there are some other things I have in mind.

I own way too many CDs, books and magazines. Which is a big problem when ones tries to move into another appartment. My room looks like a tornado went through it. Well, I still have three weeks to pack. *g*

I love my Merlin Big Bang story. I can't tell you anything about it yet, but it will be great. I'm currently thinking about what I wanna do as art and how I can fit it into my schedule.I have some great ideas but probably not enough time. I'll see.

I'll try to answer all comments made in the last week soon. Again when I have the time.

Art for deannawol's cyberpunk adventure "Dreaming in Cordite" from this year's spn_j2_bigbang:

( ... )

I'm kinda MIA these days. My timetable is full the next weeks so I probably won't finish those promised female artworls for some time. Since I still have to make a few SPN Big Bang Arts till the 24th.

I'm currently planning to move and I've sent out job applications and I'm working at a café several days a week. Much free time is therefore not an option and that I have I want to spend with my friends as long as we live in the same city.

Today I drive home for a job interview tomorrow. Wish me luck. *g*

Random thing: I miss Merlin! And Torchwood! When is it fall? Or at least July?

I kinda don't make enough art with women. Perhaps I should try to better myself.

So, tell me your favorite female character and I'll make you some icons, a header or a wallpaper! First five comments.

So, should I sign up to to art for the SGA Big Bang? Feel free to discourage me and tell me that I already have way too much stuff to do.

But I kind of want to because I fear I'm loosing my love for the show. I still haven't watched the last few episodes and I read only very few McShep stories in the last months. It's still was one of my main fandoms and I miss it. So this would be an opportunity.


Btw, I was thinking how my fannish life changed over the years. Starting with watching shows like Star Trek: TNG, Babylon 5 and those early shows and buying magazines to read all about the new episodes which would only come out next year on german tv. Recording episodes on my VCR and rewatching certain scenes again and again.
And then there was Roswell which started really fannish behaviour. It was the time of the internet, which I used in school. The first fanfictions and the beginning of my own fanart tries (I really should post some of my earlier art sometime for the LOLs). Buying tapes from ads in magazines with english episodes that haven't aired yet. (God, how much easier is the fannish life since broadband internet *g*) I had a few nostalgic memories when I threw out those tapes last week. But I thought that when I haven't watched them for over 4 years and everything is available elsewhere why should I waste the space. Still I had spent lots of money on them.

Enough rambling.
