Happy Valentines Day!

Happy Christmas everyone! For those who asked after seeing RDJ's tweet of this pic, here’s where you can grab cards, prints or a even a tote bag :)

♫ Do you want to build a Baymax? It really HAS to be a Baymax! ♫

Close ups and progress gif of my Frozen/Big Hero 6 xmas card!

Sometimes I chop and change a lot of things while drawing, but this card was drawn almost completely in one go - guess it just wanted to come to life!

Search your feelings...you know it to be Yuletide

Poor old Darth, he just wants to be a cool dad and make sure to get his kids the right presents. Han knows better than to write a list, he'll just take what he can get! I can't believe this is the 3rd Christmas Star Wars card I've drawn and I've managed to stay away from the old "I have felt your presents" joke. That's gotta count for something, right?

The Mystery of the Missing Advent Chocolates

Plot Twist: It was Mrs Hudson.

Extra Plot Twist: It was Moriarty!

(all of this is double bluff - actually, it was really was Sherlock.) I like to think that the next year, John bought Sherlock an advent calendar all of his own and bet Sherlock that he didn't have enough self control to do it properly day by day...

...and was right.

Groot's First Christmas

A Marvel Charlie Brown mashup! I've love to see A Charlie Brown Christmas re-enacted with Marvel characters...though Groot is probably going to steal the show of whatever scene he's in...

Amazing how putting a jumper on Rocket suddenly makes him look so cuddly...

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through Erebor...

This illustration really ought to be called "Spot the reference" because I tried to cram so much into the picture! Examples include: Kili's archery patterned blanket, Bofur's tin whistle, Bilbo's pony Myrtle, a pot of tea for Dori and of course, the robe colours of the dwarves are featured on their blankets (though sometimes tweaked a little to keep the pic from being only blue and brown!)

Mischievous Magical Merriment

This was the first card I drew, because to me, Harry Potter and Christmas are absolutely a perfect match. The christmas chapters are so cozy - especially the ones at Hogwarts.

(Poor old Snape - don't worry, the rest of the teachers are just out of view, also making snow-creatures)

A Doctor Who Christmas Party!

I thought it would be nice to upload my geeky cards as separate posts, so to include some close up details and a gif showing the working process!

I had an awful lot of fun drawing this card, but I did have a minor freakout once I started and realised how many characters I was going to be drawing!

Rejected ideas included:

8th Doctor lighting a christmas pudding...and accidentally also a time lord's robes (still visible in the sketch)

9th doctor making banana daiquiris

Amy and Jamie doing a highland dance...got to save that for another pic, I think...

I am so pleased to be able to share my geeky christmas cards with you for the third year running! It's become my Christmas tradition and this years set has to be my favourite so far.

Cards (and plenty of other goodies featuring the pics, like mugs and cushions) are now up for sale on Redbubble!

Hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed obsessing over every last detail like Thorin's Smaug slippers and holding the arkenstone which is wearing a hat to keep it warm, and yes luke has a tiny R2Ds and yes that is a reindeer on Davros' jumper and handmade patterned socks on John and nobody will ever see close enough to know that there's a letter S on the present Harry is sending to Sirius of course and that Peter has little stars on his christmas sweater or how obviously that dalek learned cookery out of a 1970's recipe book...and, well... just baymax being adorable.

Just one of those things that I always wondered about. Stags and otters are all very well, but what if you end up with a tiny chameleon or giant blue whale? I mean, it could be a giant tub of nutella...

Anyway, so glad I got around to doing this pic -drawing the less attractive animals was awesome.

Step into the whodrobe!

I had such a ball remembering all kinds of trinkets from the Doctor's adventures (especially the crystal from metabelis 3)

Also put it up on threadless! If you like it, feel free to give it a 5!

Well, I've just finished wrapping all my presents, though I didn't end up using any of these styles!

For those who asked if I had any non-geeky christmas cards...well...cats are a bit geeky still, but hey, they're also extremely cuddly.
