Tea - The Lizzie Bennet Diaries by ~Irrel on deviantART

I've been drawing and stuff.

Art dump

2011-04-12T23:39:47Z

I found myself using Tumblr more than LJ lately so now I want to fix this a little but at least posting some drawings :)
I've been all over the place with my fandoms lately, haha.

Fandom: Princess Jellyfish/Kuragehime

I'm planning on cosplaying her for Fanime XD

Fandom: Phineas and Ferb

I must admit I love them together for the ANGST. I am weak.

Fandom: Hunger Games?

I've been re-listening to the audiobooks and I still can't stop crying even if I know what is going to happen :|

Fanart: Not what you think - Leviathan

2010-12-24T10:06:25Z

Title: Not what you think
Rating: PG-13
Fandom: Leviathan book series
Ship: Deryn/Alek

Volger approaches the cabin and opens the door soundlessly, as is his habit, and thus he has no one to blame but himself.

"Gott im Himmel," he swears, taking a fractional step backwards.

The boys come apart, eyes wide in shock and horror, and in the half second before the inevitable protests begin, Volger considers the situation and its ramifications.

It's a surprise, yes. Not an apocalypse, however. Goodness knows Alek won't be the first monarch to prefer the company of men, and he certainly won't be the last. This is unfortunate, but can be managed.

"It's not what you think," Alek says. He says this despite mussed hair, a half-untucked shirt, a flushed face, and one hand still on Dylan's arm. Dylan, whose own clothes are in disorder and whose blue eyes have gone almost black, his pupils are dilated so widely.

The Best Laid Plans by mightyinkas.

I blame that drabble for my mind going in the gutter :D I just HAD to draw it because pfft, poor Volger. I think it's my favorite piece of fanfic for this book so far. Go read it! She has 41 other drabbles up on ff.net and they're all fantastic!

Sketching

2010-12-22T03:56:38Z

Title: Sketching
Fandom: Leviathan book series
Ship: Deryn/Alek

Is Irrel suddenly shipping slash? Nah.

Meet Alek and Deryn from the Leviathan book series by Scott Westerfeld, biggest ship tease ever. Alek is a prince on the run and Deryn is a girl dressing up as a boy to be a soldier. Problem is: Alec has no idea XD

If you're looking a book rec, read this! It has it all: Mecha, steampunk, alternate history (WWI~), fabricated animals, awesome female characters, and of course... our-love-could-never-be ship, my favorite kind!

*waits patiently for third book*

Oh, yeah, did I mention they're sitting on a flying whale?

Fanart heavily based on the book illustrations, btw. For example!

Fanart: Brainbot - Phineas and Ferb

2010-12-07T07:53:27Z

Title: Brainbot
Fandom: Phineas and Ferb
Characters: Phineas, Ferb and Perry

I babysat all weekend and so I had to watch a lot of Phineas and Ferb. You'd think this means I'd get sick of it but the show it's so funny I just fell in love with it <3

I thought Phineas, Ferb and Perry would be the perfect subjects for my "trying to color without lines" practice.

They're building a brainbot because Megamind is still on my mind XD

Fanart dump - Megamind and Link

2010-12-04T05:13:57Z

So I've drawn a lot of Megamind lately. But can you really blame me?

Fanart inspired by the fic Honesty by saltintheoven.

Her fingers drew themselves out of his collar and made their way around his neck instead. He blinked at last, then with or without his help, his eyes drifted shut. He relaxed.

Look, I drew a background! I'm very proud of this one :)

Fanart for the awesome fanfic Our Beautiful Tomorrow by mekosuchinae.

Roxanne screwed up her nose. She squinted at the ceiling and as a joke thought, Burn, baby, burn.

The burn at the back of her eyes flared violently; her vision reddened. In the flittering span of half a heartbeat, she saw two precise holes bore deep into her ceiling.

It was too much of a pretty picture in my head not to draw it :)

So, this was mostly coloring practice! It was inspired in part by Our Beautiful Tomorrow by mekosuchinae because the only thing that would have made the movie more awesome would have been Roxanne getting superpowers instead of Hal.

I have a serious girl-crush XD

So I was feeling like domestic fanart...

I do find it weird that Megamind can grow a beard when he has no hair. I would have thought that he glued it on if it wasn't for his father having a beard too. Thinking about it too much? Naaaah.

Hahaha, blue nipples.

Also I find it amusing that if Roxanne wears one of Megamind's shirt it'd be really snug on her :P

Little!Roxanne defending little!Megamind from some bullies at school. Because she's awesome :D

I just love school AUs a little too much...

Random wind waker!Link doodle I decided to color :)

That's a lot of fanart... I HAVE A BURNING DESIRE TO DRAW MEGAMIND HIGH SCHOOL AU. I just thought I'd put it out there :P

Fanart: Drawing, Prom, Ice Cream, Guardian Angel

2010-11-15T08:01:11Z

Title: Drawing
Character: Little!Megamind and little!Roxanne

I thought Megamind as a kid was the cutest thing ever and I do wonder what would have happened if Roxanne and him had gone to the same school.

Title: Ice Cream
Fandom: Symbionic Titan
Characters: Ilana/Lance

Galaluna doesn't have ice cream :|

I love this show.

Title: Prom
Fandom: Symbionic Titan
Characters: Ilana/Lance

This is awkward because they're posing as brother and sister LOL.

Title: Do you know you're my guardian angel?
Fandom: Time Travelers book series (AKA The Gideon trilogy)
Characters: Peter/Kate

LOVE this series. The ending broke my heart a bit D:

Sorry for the fanart dump. It's been a while... :D

Fanart: Gift Exchange

2010-10-09T08:33:59Z

Title: Gift Exchange
Fandom: October Daye novels
Ship: Tybalt/Toby
Notes: This book series needs fandom :)

"Never presume to understand the feline mind," I said.

October blinked. "Merry Christmas, Tybalt."

"If you like." Still holding the child's hand in mine, her pinprick claws lightly scratching the side of my fingers, I turned and walked away, leaving October to stare after us in quiet confusion.

Merry Christmas, indeed.

Messy sketch for the fic Gift Exchange by cadhla.

Fanart and LIAB dump

2010-10-07T16:14:39Z

Hello! I haven't been posting here in a while...

Title: Shadows
Fandom: October Daye novels
Ship: Toby/Tybalt

We were already so close together that he didn’t have to move to put his arms around my waist; he just did it, advising mildly, “You may want to hold your breath.”

“Wha—” I asked, too surprised to pull away.

“Suit yourself,” he said, and fell backward, dragging me with him into the shadows still lingering at the mouth of the alley.

Rosemary and Rue - Book one of the October Daye series by Seanan McGuire.

Toby/Tybalt, my latest obsession right there. rashaka recced the series to me and we've had a blast talking about it. I'm a sucker for Urban Fantasy and this one is up there with all my favorites. Toby doesn't annoy me, which is always a plus and ALL the side characters are interesting (Tybalt most of all :P). The fourth book needs to be out soon... Is it March yet?!

ETA: Hi people that found me thanks to seanan_mcguire's post :D I'm more than happy to share this drawing with readers that love this series as much as I do! I have another Toby sketch here and plan to do many more because I find Toby to be quite awesome.

(BTW, don't worry, I know this is not how everybody pictures the characters. Book fanart is tricky that way. Heck, I'm not sure this is how I picture Tybalt either, he keeps changing in my mind but I'll keep drawing him until I get it right-at least to my liking :P)

Title: LIAB comics
Fandom: Original
Notes: Just a autobio comic I'm working on :)

So I've been playing Zelda :D I quite like it but I can't decide if I want to ship something...

Fanart: Anything I want - FMA

2010-08-24T08:48:58Z

Title: Anything I want
Pairing: Ran Fan/Ling
Fandom: FMA
Rating: G
Warning: Spoilers for the finale.

"Now that you're Emperor you really shouldn't be doing things like this."
"Now that I'm Emperor, I can do anything I want!"

Fanart: Flowers - Zutara

2010-06-07T20:14:09Z

Title: Flowers
Fandom: Avatar
Ship: Zutara
Rating: G

Sometimes I just ask Twitter for Zutara prompts and this time Supersonic Gabi said to do something about Spring or Fall. I've done both before but I don't like either so here is another spring! (This one I actually like :P)

Fanvid: Wake Up - Star Trek

2010-05-27T04:00:10Z

Title: Wake Up by Arcade Fire
Pairing(s): Some Spock/Uhura, mostly Gen.
Rating: G
Notes: A tribute to Star Trek XI. It stated being a video about Spock and Kirk growing up but I couldn't resist adding the whole crew in it.

Somethin' filled up
my heart with nothin',
someone told me not to cry.

But now that I'm older,
my heart's colder,
and I can see that it's a lie.

Children wake up,
hold your mistake up,
before they turn the summer into dust.

If the children don't grow up,
our bodies get bigger but our hearts get torn up.
We're just a million little gods causin' rain storms turnin' every good thing to
rust.

I guess we'll just have to adjust.

Thanks to rashaka for forcing me to make this video to this song :D

Fanart: Poemas

2010-05-25T07:45:00Z

Title: Poemas
Fandom: Hey Arnold
Ship: Helga/Arnold

Another Helga/Arnold drawing, only this time with a different style. It's more of a doodle, really :)

Inspired by the song Colgando en tus Manos. Especially this line: Te envío poemas de mi puño y letra~

Fanart: Umbrella and Picspams

2010-05-18T04:35:18Z

Picspam: Jeff/Annie

JEFF: And you don't have to dress like this to grow up. You look like a travel agent.

ANNIE: You don't like it? I was going for more of a 'professor' thing.

JEFF: What? Why...?

ANNIE: What?

JEFF: Nothing.

Community 1.24 English As A Second Language

I suddenly decided to make a picspam (I must have been really bored...). Jeff/Annie rocks my world.

Picspam: Helga's Confession (Hey Arnold Movie)

ARNOLD: Well, why?

HELGA: 'Cause... 'cause maybe I don't hate you as much as I thought, okay? I guess maybe I even kind of like you a little. I guess you might even kind of say I like you a lot.

ARNOLD: You do? You did this for me?

HELGA: That's right, hair-boy! I mean, criminy! What else are you supposed to do when someone you love is in trouble?

ARNOLD: Love?

HELGA: You heard me, pal. I love you! LOVE YOU! Who else you think has been stalking you night and day, building shrines to you in a closet, filling volumes of books with poems about you? I love you, Arnold, I've always loved you, ever since I first laid eyes on your stupid football head!

For this picspam I actually had to use my DVD. That is dedication, people.

Here's the Tumblr post link because I still can't believe it's reached 1950 notes! (and counting...)

Title: Umbrella
Fandom: Hey Arnold
Ship: Arnold/Helga

The other day I thought to myself "Huh, I haven't read Hey Arnold fic in about 7 years, I should go read one" and now I'm obsessed. Arnold/Helga is one of my favorite ships ever!

This fanart was inspired by the episode Helga on the Couch. If you've seen it, you'll get the umbrella reference :)

I'm mostly reading Helga/Arnold fics that are about them in High School so I had to draw them as teenagers. Arnold was very hard to draw (must be the football head!) but I wanted to draw them as much in my style as I could.

And everybody should go read this fic RIGHT NOW. (And if you have any recs, I'd love to read them!)

Picspam: Hey Arnold

Since I grew up in Bolivia, I watched Oye Arnold in Spanish. Every time I hear the theme song now and Helga says "Move it football head!" a little voice in the back of my mind says "Apártate cabeza de balón!".

Tumblr link :)

Fanart: Knife and Paul

2010-05-06T07:29:37Z

Title: Knife and Paul
Rating: G

Fanart of Knife and Paul from rj_anderson's book Faery Rebels: Spell Hunter aka Knife, which you have to read because 1. It's AWESOME and 2. It was written by an AWESOME person.

I started reading the book not knowing at all what to expect but I feel in love with the characters, especially Knife :) I can't wait to read the sequel!

Fanart: Conspiracy

2010-04-26T22:11:36Z

Title: Conspiracy
Rating: G
Note: Spoilers for A Conspiracy of Kings!

Eddis&Sounis

rj_anderson was nice enough to send her ARC of A Conspiracy of Kings for me to read way back in March and I promised her some fanart in return :)

I wanted to draw the scene where they say something like this:

"You need to marry me," he said.
"Yes," said Eddis.
"And I am a pig, like my uncle."
"No, you're not."

But of course I didn't have the book anymore because I sent it to rashaka so I couldn't double check any descriptions and I made up most of the details... still! I hope you guys enjoy the drawing :)

I've turned my LJ into a fanart gallery. Have you noticed? XD

Fanart potpourri

2010-04-08T06:31:11Z

Title: Adventure
Fandom: Doctor Who
Pairing: Rose/Nine

I want adventure in the great wide somewhere
I want it more than I can tell
And for once it might be grand
To have someone understand
I want so much more than they've got planned
~Belle from The Beauty and The Beast

Birthday present for rashaka :D

I'm sorry it doesn't look much like Rose, it was my first time drawing her...

Second fanart in a row with the same awesome texture by Dastardly-icons @DA.

ETA: This was my first ever try at SAI Paint Tool so if the coloring looks different, that's why.

Title: Karma
Rating: G
Fandom: Hellsing
Pairing: Integra/Alucard
Notes: Inspired by sir_hellsing's fanfic Karma.

“Thank you,” said Integral, accepting the gift as she elbowed Alucard to do the same. The vampire grimaced and mimicked his Master’s motions, looking disgruntled with the blossoms adorning his white suit. “You look stunning, Count. Those colours suit you,” she complimented, reaching to brush a marigold with her index finger. Alucard recoiled, face darkening.

“Indeed Master? I would prefer them red, blood red.”

I was reading this fic and suddenly I had to draw this because the mental image was just too funny XD

Title: Phonesex
Rating: Surprisingly G for that title, hah.
Fandom: Hellsing
Pairing: Integra/Alucard

ALUCARD: *Tries to be outrageous*
INTEGRA: *Not impressed* Sir Penwood is paying for this phone bill.

(Thanks to Thess for the dialogue!)

This fanart is a strange mix of my wanting to draw Riocard (because the suit, THE SUIT!) and sir_hellsing pointing out to me that what Alucard and Integra were doing while he was in Rio was borderline phone-sex, haha.

Maybe my next AxI fanart will actually have them in the same room XD

Title: Fucking Angels...
Fandom: Georgina Kincaid book series
Pairing: Georgina/Carter

Fanart for my new favorite book series the Georgina Kincaid series by Richelle Mead. Also known as the Succubus series.

I, of course, ship something that won't happen in a million years :D Georgina is a Succubus that needs to have sex to survive and Carter is an angel that would fall and become a demon if he ever has sex. Perfect ship, isn't it?!

Nevermind that Carter is the biggest shipper for the cannon ship, who cares? LOL

Title explanation: Almost every time Georgina talks to Carter and he's being as cryptic as always, she says "fucking angels" and it always cracks me up.

Example:
“Hey! How’d—”

Carter was gone.

Just then, the waitress set down the bill, which included Carter’s meal. “Fucking angels,” I muttered, fumbling for my credit card.

Anyways, I totally recommend the books (if you're over 18...)!

(Sorry for the demon/angel wings. Couldn't resist.)

Fanart: Flowers - ST

2010-03-26T03:48:06Z

Title: Flowers

Characters/Pairings: Spock/Uhura
Rating: G
Warnings: Nothing.
Summary: Colorful and fluffy~
A/N: Fanart made for fialleril who donated for help_haiti :) Thank you!

She asked for Spock and Nyota visit her home in Kenya. Bonus points if Spock is all fascinated with the local flora and I hope I delivered XD

Hellsing fanart... wait what?

2010-03-24T17:55:09Z

Hellsing fanart dump! Hellsing? Yes, Hellsing. I was surprised too. (Comments copy/pasted from my DA account because I'm lazy.)

Random Hellsing fanart...

I watched Hellsing at an anime club I frequent and I hated it. And then I discovered the ship. And, well. It's hard to resist really.

Also, Integra is awesome.

That is all.

“The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances; if there is any reaction, both are transformed.” This is the quote sir_hellsing gave me when I asked for ideas for a Hellsing fanart. We were talking about how much I liked Young Integra and she pointed out that she was an innocent girl until she met Alucard and how both had changed by their meeting.

Such a great prompt that I wish I had drawn something better for it! Hahaha...

This fanart is basically this scene, slightly altered for personal preferences :P

After drawing my last Hellsing fanart, which was REALLY ANGSTY I wanted to draw something REALLY FLUFFY just for kicks so I came up with this.

16ish!Integra and puppy!Alucard scaring away some random guy that is trying to court her.

I don't know if you've noticed, but I'm kind of obsessed with Hellsing at the moment. /sarcasm

I was about to go to bed and reading one last fic when I reached a scene that gave me such a great mental picture I HAD to drop everything and draw it... 3 hours later: THIS. ARG. I should be sleeping...

Girlycard and Young Integra from the fic The One By My Side by DuchessRaven.

The chill in his skin sent a shiver down her spine. She trembled as he leaned in and nuzzled her neck just as the library door swung open.

Integra jerked backwards, her head suddenly clear. She felt as if she had been caught doing something wrong, though she has no idea what it was. Alucard just smiled and leaned back in his chair, looking rather bored once more.

Walter entered carrying a tray laden with tea and pastries. He looked at Integra's flushed face, then at Alucard's sly expression.

"Leave Miss Hellsing to her studies, Alucard," he said, setting the tray before Integra.

I've drawn regular!Integra, Young!Integra/Bondagecard, 16ish!Integra/Puppycard and Young!Integra/Girlycard but not regular AxI fanart and I plan to change that sometime soon, haha. I love that this ship has many many incarnations (and somehow all of them make me feel like a pervert XD).

Fanart: The Thief

2010-02-25T07:44:20Z

Title: The Thief
Rating: G
Notes: Fanart of Gen sleeping (because he does that a lot in the first book :P)

A fanart of Gen from my favorite series of books: Queen's Thief by Megan Whalen Turner (aka The Thief, Queen of Attolia and King of Attolia.)

This was done while listening to The Thief audiobook. Just Gen sleeping because he does that a lot in the first book, haha!

If you haven't read these books yet do yourself a favor and read them :) The first book is great but it's not until the second book that things get OMGAWESOME. The fourth book is coming out in a month and I cannot wait to read it and draw some more fanart for it!

Also, this series has the best LJ comm ever: sounis

This made me lol so hard...

2010-02-08T17:59:11Z

I was in the East Coast last week visiting family but we stopped in NYC because... why not? So, on Tuesday when we were walking around Time Square we saw A TON of police cars, so many that we had to stop and stare and try to see WHO is this special person with so much escort. Alas, we never found out... until now:

The spot was shot last Tuesday afternoon, under the strictest of secrecy which involved both Mr. Leno and Ms. Winfrey flying in surreptitiously to New York, and arriving incognito at the theater, while Mr. Letterman was in the midst of taping his show for that night. It also involved Jay wearing a disguise: hooded sweatshirt, glasses and faux mustache. If you happened to be on Broadway between 53rd and 54th street last Tuesday about 4:15, you might have seen a man fitting that description slip into the theater by a small entrance under the marquee.

OMG XD

It makes me love NYC even more, LOL.

We went to see In The Heights on Broadway too! And who was playing Usnavi? CORBIN BLEU... yes, WTF was my first thought too but he did an awesome job. We stayed after the show to see the actors but didn't even try to get autographs. It was such a good day >_<!

Title: Nine and Rose
Fandom: BBT with a side of Doctor Who
Rating: G
Notes: Sketch done for juniperlane in return for her generous donation to Shelter Box USA :) *hugs*
She wanted Sheldon and Penny dressed as Nine and Rose. I did this inspired by her fic The Costume Coincidence.

She turns and it's total instinct when she presents Sheldon with her left hand. His only response is to stare at it. She wiggles her fingers a little, and there's some hint of a smile that passes over his face, but he takes her hand in his (how has she never noticed how long his fingers are before?) and they head out into the night, just a Doctor and his companion.

Title: Sibling Rivalry
Fandom: BBT

Notes: Sketch done for ishie in return to her donation to UNICEF :D
She wanted Missy and Sheldon and I drew this inspired by her fic Kafka, Schmafka.

"Relax. I run a scan every night, just like you taught me. This baby's clean as a whistle."

Sheldon sniffed. "Well, that's hardly reassuring. I seem to recall someone saying that very same thing about an actual whistle she was trying to shove in my mouth-"

"For the millionth time, that is not how you got the mono!"

"Oh, and I suppose your advanced degrees in epidemiology and-"

"Don't you be calling me stupid again, you-"
