...the fifth of November: the gunpowder, treason and plot -

Saw a guy wearing a Guy Fawkes mask today. ^^



...in retrospect, hope he wasn't off to rob a bank or something.

So, I'm definitely being the ultimate fangirl and going as Ianto Jones for Hallowe'en. Shut up, you're obsessed.

Better yet, Aggie is going with me as Cpt. Jack Harkness
*, and I'm going to call her 'sir' and she's going to hopefully make lots of inappropriate comments, and I'm going to fake a god-awful Welsh accent.

It'll be legend - wait for it - dary.

But for this to occur, I need your help, dear friends! Anyone know some good styling tips for wigs? I have a boy wig, (black instead of dark brown, but it was the best I could find) and all I need to do is trim it and then gel it into Ianto's hairstyle. Does anyone have suggestions as to how to gel wigs? Am I right in thinking I've only got one shot, what with it being a wig and all? Yeah. I've never done wigs before. Can you tell?

Ianto's hair is pretty short, so my biggest concern is the length - how do I cut it short, without the netting underneath starting to show? Rrrrrrgh complicated.

But it's going to be worth it, ladies and - I dunno, are there any gentlemen here? - because we're doing a photoshoot and it will be AWESOME. Also, Bug is going as Toshiko Sato.

*That picture is technically inaccurate as she will be wearing his RAF uniform like in his first appearance in Dr. Who. Well. Sort of that uniform. It'll be a medley of the Coat and his RAF cap with an authentic RAF hat pin my grandmother gave me, and some medals of my grandfather's on his coat.

Another video! This one is set to Ingrid Michaelson's wonderful song "Everybody", which makes me so happy just to listen. It's not exclusively Jack/Ianto: it also contains Gwen/Rhys and Tosh/Owen, plus a dash of Torchwood Three friendship/family love. I think it kind of fell apart at the end - what was meant to be random just came out really sloppy. Still, I like the beginning.

What, another video?

Only so I could have the satisfaction of saying I'd made a Torchwood music video to Britney Spears.

It's mostly for  Jack, but it contains some Jack/Ianto, a bit of Jack/Gwen, and various clips of the team as well.


all eyes on Jack, he's the center of the ring, just like a circus... )

There is no excuse for not loving Michael Buble and his new single.

He needs to write more songs himself!

Consumed with my Torchwood obsession, I have gone back to art. Okay, seriously, this is a very different style from what I last posted here - mostly because that style was totally not my style at all. I never draw anime, really. It was just that one picture. That one terrible picture.

I'm trying more for realism here, as I have always strived for in my art, but rarely am I even remotely pleased with the result. I am not sure how to feel about this one - it's like staring at a single word for too long. It loses all meaning and sense, and you're left wondering if it's actually a word at all.

It's Ianto Jones! You can find him in all his graphite glory below the cut.

click the preview image until you've got it full-size )

I'm also in the middle of another picture of Ianto, which is from a different angle and which I think is much better. One thing that's bothering me, though, is that while my scanner is pretty good, a lot of my shading got lost in the process. Anyway.

There are a couple things I already know I don't like about it (but was just too tired of it to fix) but I won't list them in case they are just in my head. I'm sure there are lots of things I could improve on, though. Concrit is always incredibly appreciated, and while I prefer people being nice, if you've gotta be a dick about it then be my guest. I welcome any suggestions.

In unrelated news, Ingrid Michaelson has a new album out! Oh my god, guys, this album is so so so wonderful. I love every song on it, and I'm just... aas'dl;fk'dljlkjh Ingrid Michaelson is too fucking cool for school! Particularly her songs Soldier, Everybody, and Maybe. (also You & I even though that's not a new song.) Go download something right now.
