Door Decorating (Wednesday)

Just to prove that I haven't dropped off the face of the earth, and that what skill I have has not abandoned me.





Since this was for a Halloween decorating contest, I thought it was appropriate.
My awesome roommates and I worked way too hard on this.
Good thing we won the contest!
We're planning to leave it up through Christmas.

More detailed info!

We started with a bedsheet and spray painted it grey (it took like 3 cans of paint).
Michelle cut it and taped it to the actual door so that it would still open/close/lock; you know, important door stuff. She also provided to cobwebs.
The two demons are Steve (the one crawling out of the door) and a void rabbit (yet to be named).
I sketched them out and painted the lines in a glittery black (which is darker than the regular black), and Michelle and Kaitlyn helped fill them in (with the flat black and red).
Some of the details are missed here because paper rolls. There are spines on the rabbit's back, and the one hand on Steve has these really long nails.
Tiffany helped with hanging things, which was great because it was really a two-person job.
We used a lot of tape for this.
The sign was made of scrap paper left from cutting out the demons and the cell window and rust were painted on last.

Admit it.
My roommates rock.
Mostly because they put up with the disaster area that was the common area that happened while we were working on this.
(It got cleaned up, don't worry.)
So, yeah.
Aside from school, that's what I've been doing.
Not much going on otherwise.
I'm going to open up suggestions, so feel free to comment with an idea for a drawing, keeping in mind not every idea will be used, and please comment here if you do.
Go with God,

P.S. From now on I'll do the process information like I did this time, with the '---'s, so that those not interested can just skip through it.

Avengers, Agreement! (Sunday)

Odd day to post.
Oh well.
Meant to post these a while ago, but I got distracted.

So yeah.
Apparently some of our neighbors have been having arguments, so all the rooms were assigned roommate agreements.
Our room hasn't had any problems, and we communicate pretty well, so we all thought it pointless. However, we got a sample with it that had Bruce Banner, Tony Stark, Thor Odinson, and Steve Rodgers as the roommates and I got inspired. The original was fairly straightforward and simply brought up things that people could use in theirs, but I thought it very out of character for some of the "roommates" and decided to fix it.
First I replaced Steve with Loki (who is much more entertaining) and just went from there.
I know there's some inaccuracies, particularly with the armor (the person who designed Loki's costume was an evil mastermind), but I did my best and I'm not going back to fix it.
This one won't be colored.
I am leaving this alone.
It took me 6 hours to finish the drawing alone, I don't even know how much time I spent on the written agreement.
Don't know what I'll start working on next, so stay there on the edge of your seat and hope for the best.
Enjoy!
Go with God,
~Allie
