Description That which holds the image of an Angel becomes itself an Angel.

A Weeping Angel holding the TARDIS key from the Doctor Who episode Blink.

This should've been done in December already, but uni work really got in the way. So here it is now, all set and ready to freak you all out. I finished most of the top panel today, which still is quite sooner than I expected. All credits for the odd shades go to the DW crew I merely just drew them, but they really were frustrating.
Strangely enough I had great fun drawing the hand and mouth. Those are usually the things I'm struggling with, but I got both right in one go so yay!
I think for once there wasn't anything I really struggled with in this case. I should draw more Doctor Who stuff, apparantly.

And remember; don't blink. Don't turn your back. Don't look away.

As long as you give proper credit (which you did, but a click-through link would be better ) I'm fine with it. I reblogged it!

And thanks a lot!

I like these Angels more than I should. And the urge to keep scrolling up to keep an eye on this is so strong

The 'grain' (from the scanner?) works well in this case, giving it a texture, and I like the composition of the two too Have you tried working with a grey background? Perhaps that would help the scanner get the contrast right?

N0rks In reply to 0Hamster0 [2011-08-04 20:59:07 +0000 UTC]

The Urge. Everyone has it.

The grain comes from both the paper and the scanner. The paper is not smooth as it's aquarelle paper so it's supposed to have texture. I love drawing 'old' stuff on it (such as my Assassins Creed drawings), because it gives things just the right feel. (It does tend to get a bit woolly when you erase/draw over a certain bit too many times )
Hmm, I feel reluctant to try a grey background because I'm afraid I will make those so very dull. I have thought of scanning my drawings with the lid open, or with black paper in the background. The lid-thing of our scanner is really very white, and especially this paper is a bit off-white so that might oversaturate the white bits. Just a guess though.

Try it and see Or, leave an uncovered bit on the scanner and pull a face over it; that should make post-editing amusing

Do you mean "If you never hear from me again" in a morbid way? If you do, I can try to come up with cheesy one-liners to put on your headstone.

I'd make an enthusiastic undertaker

Yeah, maybe a bit too enthusiastic.

Ignore my question about the grey backgrounds The ones that do have a lot of grey in the background do seem to have softer shading, though. But you probably figured that out ages ago

I still haven't seen any Doctor Who. It's too expensive to buy here and they'll probably never get it at our public broadcaster. Pitty, it looks really awesome.
Love the drawing!
