Is it madness?

So tonight while I was watching the Voice I started prepping the patterns for cloth dolls, but I don't know that I have the fabric for them yet around. I'll have to check, but I might have to wait for payday to pick up proper fabric before I actually start on that project.
Some Voice ramble (is anyone else here still watching?)
It was was alright, I was suprised that one country boy stayed on- I mean he's nice enough but he's not that good... but I can't even be mad about it because he genuinely seems nice. Also I was really happy that Kat got saved but that's mostly because of how hopeful Adam was to keep her. I never got attached to anyone this season, though I do like the youtube girl and that one guy on Usher's team. Also the girl on Shakira's team. Those people are all still there, so yay! Though the fact that I don't know any of their names doesn't really say good things for how involved I'm in this season.

So then I went back to my sculpting! I needed to edit the head armature a bit again, which is sort of difficult when I have sculpt on it already. But it was too close to the jawline, and I finally decided to deal with it. I took out a piece and then resculpted the area and I'm way happier now. Then randomly I decided it was time to add an ear! So I sculpted an ear on. Scottie was amused when I said I was using an actual photo reference of his ear. He was like "I'm not surprised that there is a picture of Hiddles ear..." and I was like "Well, it wasn't a picture of just his ear, it was a picture of him that happened to have a good view of his ear..." but then we both agreed that there are probably pictures of just his ear somewhere.


Graaaaaaaaah?

Also tonight I watched Agents of SHIELD and it was amazeballs I can't wait for the finale eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Thoughts under a spoiler cut

Coulson was completely adorbs when he was looking at all the old tech, and also when he was undercover. I loved the file download too. xD
Fitz kept breaking my heart with his hopes.
I don't know what I think about Evil!Ward just yet. He also sort of breaks my little heart.
Of course, I'm watching Marvelverse where a thing I say often is "That's ok I didn't need my heart anwaaaaaay"

I also watched a couple episodes of the animated Avengers Assemble series (which is like my other most favourite series right now wut?), and they were also totes amazeballs. xD
The first episode I watched was Doomstroyer, which started out with a bit with the Destroyer (not surprising...) and then Thor went to get help from Asgard, which had me on the edge of my seat because I thought I might know what was coming. And I was right. LOKI! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

So will you be bowing to me now, or later? I'll also accept a simple thank you. And then bowing.
Of course, cue my unintelligble fangirling. Scottie says that for his sake they should never come out with a Loki movie because I will end up having a brain aneurysm and he loves me and would prefer me to not do that. Of course I disagreed and said that I wouldn't, and it should totes be a thing, and it should be a thing like nao. WAAAAAAANTS

Then there was another episode that we watched with Impossible Man, which was hilarious. Scottie and I talked about what would happen if Loki, Impossible Man, and Deadpool teamed up. Loki would get so frustrated with them though. xD

Also watched Henson's Creature Shop, I haven't been writing my thoughts on that though for a while. It's been interesting! (I was thinking though today that I missed Face-Off, and now JHCS will be done soon too boo. I know Face-Off will be back soon but still.)

I have felt really sick for much of today, so all of the Marvel amazing-ness was very welcome in making me feel better.

Time for bed!

This seems appropriate

So tonight I continued working on my Loki sculpt. I've started roughing in the other side of the face, and worked on the other as well. I really need to get a mouth on there soon because the placeholder mouth is sort of driving me nuts. I got more reference pictures and I think I'm going to resculpt the eyes because I'm not happy with them. I did some surgery on the head core since the head didn't end up in exactly the proportion I originally intended and so the core wasn't exactly in the right spot. I spent a fair bit of my sculpting time tonight actually getting that fixed up, which made me nervous because I was afraid I was going to smush his whole face on accident.


Soon you will have an entire face!

Watched the Voice tonight. I liked that the first song was Happy by Pharrell. People on twitter had said it should be Hiddles' theme song, and I like that thought.

You just keep on being adorbs Hiddles~
Plus it's a fun song. I'm not sure there was anything else in particular that jumped out at me.

I really liked the Blacklist tonight. :3

So now she knows that her hubby isn't what he seems, which should be interesting moving forward.
But the last bit with the music box and Reddington hit me in the feels. It seriously made the entire episode for me.
I really love James Spader's character. Scottie likes him too. It will be interesting to know more about why he is the way he is.

Watched Believe tonight too. Scottie said that he was impressed by the way they are pacing out the show. They're not info-dumping so much that it feels like an info-dump, but they've put a lot of stuff out there and it's only on it's third episode. Also, they've maintained an air of mystery. Also, I like the two main characters quite a bit.

Time for bed~

So I have been wanting to do a human Loki sculpt, and this weekend I was very inspired to start! I was planning on working on Pony!Loki armour as well, but I didn't get quite that far. I am certainly going to continue on that though! I have a lot of pony ideas still floating around too, lol. So many things that I want to do!

The clay that I'm using for this sculpt is a mix of the last of my Super Sculpey (which I have to say makes me nervous, I'm running rather low on clay. :S) and Premo. I think that this is a nicer thing to work with than straight Super Sculpey, since I prefer working with Premo. So I worked up a batch of clay, then got a core ready, and plans, and started sculpting! It felt good to be starting in on a new sculpt, and I'm happy with how it's coming along. :3

Here's the progress from today:


While I was working Scottie and I watched the newest episode of Believe. I liked the episode up until the end. More specific thoughts under spoiler cut:

I was sort of annoyed by the end of the episode. I like that the girl is powerful, though I can see why someone might not want her to be too powerful. It's less scary if nobody can ever harm them. But. She's always done something when bad things are happening. And she said that the big things happen when she's angry, and from the sounds of it those things aren't exactly concious decisions. So when something bad happened and suddenly she was too scared to do anything... I was like, you're being kidnapped and the guy you're traveling with has been attacked and the gas station is going to be burned down... now is the time you're going to not get angry? It's annoyingly inconsistent. I'd much rather she had her energy get drained so she wasn't able to manifest powers instead of "randomly she'll change from a badass magical girl to a helpless flailing child for no discernable reason". Or something. I understand she's a child, but they've made that a less plausible problem when they said that she does things unconciously to protect herself and others. :/ It's a pet peeve of mine when characters do that. I really hope that doesn't become a common thing for the series because it will start to annoy me fast, and I like the show except for that and would like to continue to like it.


How is it the end of the weekend already? Boooooo.

More things that I want to talk about, but I need to get to sleep (ack how is it so late??). Time for bed!

Today was my sisters birthday! Her birthday is pi day, which is awesome. I talked to her a bit on the phone. She got to see Thor TDW and said that I must have been happy because there was a lot of Loki in there, and that she was thinking of me because she knows how much I love Loki. xD And also just Marvel in general, since she grew up with my Spidey and X-Men obsessions. lol

So this past week I have had very little sleep and as such have been pretty nonfunctional. I was at work being like "I have to do this thing... what was it? Oh right, this thing... *does something completely different, then gets distracted by something else*" I was just so tired. I knew that I needed sleep badly Thursday night, but I ended up not feeling well so that didn't happen yet again and so I wasn't even running on fumes anymore. Because I was so tired Scottie came and picked me up from work so that I would be safer. I like my walks but I can't say that it was a bad idea! I almost walk into moose on days where I'm not this tired, and when I'm on the road drivers want to run me over, so sleepwalking home might be not the best idea.

Also things were icy because it sort of melted a bit, and then there was rain off and on. I don't know how it ended up being, and I know that I've walked on worse- things were awful for a couple weeks straight a month or so ago when there was a ton of freezing rain. (It stretched my hour or so long walk into a two hour walk, not so fun. xP) But still, more reason to not look forward to walking in it.

This morning when we went out to the truck we commented that it felt like fall, not spring. It's still too early for spring, so it's not surprising. It's been pretty nice this week, rather springy. So nice that the temp had gotten up to I think just under 50F yesterday, and Scottie had pulled out a spring coat! All the snow melted off our deck.
We stopped by the comic book shop with the cold fall weather with some drizzel. We walked out of the store into literally a snowstorm. Our truck was buried, and there was crappy visabilty. The deck that was completely melted off this morning is now buried in deep snow drifts. Loki'd indeed. xD


While I was at the comic book store, I had wanted to check on if the next issue of Loki: Agent of Asgard was out yet, and if it was if it was in my pull box. It wasn't out yet, but there was a display of new things including a bunch of Pop figures. I went and looked... AND THERE WAS A LOKI BOBBLE-HEAD! Eeeee! This is the first piece of Loki toy merch I've seen, with the exception of a small Avengers Loki figure I saw last summer. (I mean seriously do they not want my money e_e).

It is the cutest thing and I love it. xD I had to pick it up, which I know I shouldn't have because I just got those two Monster Highs, but but but... it's Loki.

I did a huge photoshoot with him and my ghouls, but I should get to bed instead of getting the photos ready, uploaded, and posted. n_n' Really the only reason that I'm up right now making any sort of coherent sense is because I accidently fell asleep for a bit when we got home. So tomorrow I'll have to get those pictures up! It is literally the largest photoshoot I've done with number of dolls included. I've done larger for sets for my Halloween competition pictures, but I generally don't increase the number of dolls in those pictures that much. This photoshoot has so many dolls. I was having fun, and it was very silly.

Maybe I could do just a few pictures...

Alright yes Loki, I take the point, sleep first pictures later~

Tonight I did a bit of painting on Pony!Loki, but just some minor stuffs. The main part of my night was spent getting the base of his helmet, or more accurately, his diadem planned out and started. It needs detail sculpting, and finishing, and the horns actually attached, but I am really happy with how it's coming along. :D

I approve of all the gold...


Also watched season premiere of The Voice tonight! Nobody has exactly grabbed me tonight, but there were some good voices. I thought that the girl who sang Wrecking Ball actually did a really good job.

I am so sleepy! Have a sleepy Chaos sleeping in Scottie's arms. xD Ferrets are funny sleepers. He rolls over like that to show his belly usually when he's getting overly warm.

So I finally watched Captain America! I have had the movie since Scottie got me the special Avengers box set for our anniversary this last November, and I really wanted to get all the movies watched that I've missed. That's one of the reasons that I wanted the box originally! I have this erm... tendency though to either put in the Avengers or Thor though for the 1000000000th time though when I go to grab a movie out of that box. No idea why. *koff*

What was I doing again?

But I really did want to watch Cap's origin story, he's the only one I haven't seen yet! Plus ya'know if I do want to see the Winter Soldier in the theater, I'll want to have watched the first movie.

So here's how I felt after watching the movie:

The poor bb. T_T

Something neat I saw, Jenna Coleman (Clara on Dr Who) had a small part! Scottie was reading in the bedroom (he'd seen the movie before, and had a headache and so wanted to lie down) and he heard my fangirl squee when she came on. xD
I also thought it was awesome that they had Hugo Weaving as Red Skull. I told Scottie that I was excited that they had Agent Elrond, because I'm a dork.

More specific things under a spoiler cut:

I had to squee at seeing the tesseract, the Yggdrasil mural where it was hidden, and also at the end where they showed Asgard space. xD

The part where little Steve threw himself on the grenade at training camp? Aw, the bb. I think that's a good scene to show his character.

I had to laugh at "Do you two... fondue?" xD I was talking to that scene to Scottie after regarding the different Starks, but he didn't quite remember the reference. He was like fondue? And I was like well, we fondue, and then he was like "Well, I am Fond Oh You" and it was really cute. xD

Then of course there's Bucky.

I couldn't help but think that writers really like to throw characters from high places (Loki, Bucky, Sherlock.....)

Poor cap...

And of course the end of the movie also hurt my heart. "I had a date." Just, ow my feels. T_T

I'm really happy that I've watched that now so Cap can be one of my Marvel bbs properly.

Of course Loki is still my bb 1000000%

I feel a bit spoiled as I didn't feel like there was any eye candy in that movie for me though (besides the little bit with Clara).

Well ok now that I can certainly get behind xD

I have more things to post about, but I'll have to talk about them later! This weekend was the start of Fur Rondy, a winter festival that coincides with the Iditarod here, and we went out to enjoy some of the stuffs!

So I don't have a lot of time to post as I need to get to bed, but I wanted to make a quick little post. Just watched Star Trek: Into Darkness. I've been meaning to watch this movie for ages now, and tonight we finally grabbed it from RedBox. I really, really liked it! We'd gone to see the first one in the theater, but we didn't get to see this one there. Kinda wish that I had been able to!
As we were walking to the truck I was saying to Scottie that I was going to see an attractive british villian in a glass box, though not my favorite flavor of attractive british villian in a glass box. xD

That would be this bb right here, who isn't really a villian but I'm going to go with it for what I'm trying to say here.

What was I saying? Oh, here's the british villian on a glass box I'm talking about!

KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN OH wait we're not there yet. Hello Khan how are you?

Upcoming under the cut:

I was SO AMUSED by the paralells between Khan's capture and Loki's capture. I said to Scottie that Khan needed to give someone a knowing smile to someone as he was being marched in.
More generally, I thought that Benidict Cumberbatch did a really good job with the part. :3

I thought it was rather appropriate that in the parallel universe Spock was the one shouting KHAAAAAAAAN (I mean, that is so iconic). Also, the fact that Kirk sacrificing himself in the same way that Spock sacrificed himself in the past movies was a nice touch.

I had to fangirl squee at Original!Spock making an appearance to talk to New!Spock. Spock is one of my most favorite characters and has been since I was a kid so much love. <3 <3 <3

I want to talk more about it but I've already stayed up too late, and I'm planning on going in to work tomorrow. So later!

Just a quick entry as holy kau it's late, but I was just so excited to start on Pony!Loki's armour. I'm starting with Loki's bracers, these will go on his forelegs. I've just done the one side so far, and I'll definitely use paint to help bring out the detail after baking. Also I'm probably going to add moar battle scarring. (Those gashes are totes intentional!) I should probably take a closer picture of the detail, but that's not going to happen quite yet. n_n'


I suppose that will suffice.


I do need a closer view, you can't really see but there is a snake in the top right corner.

This isn't the best view of what they look like for reference, but I like this anyway. *koff*


Tonight I watched curling with Scottie tonight! I think that's a really interesting sport. I just wish they didn't have to jump ahead in the game so much, we're actually interested in seeing how they get to the points where it's "exciting". xD

Also watched Lost Girl, but I shouldn't get into that quite yet.

Today I finally got started on Pony!Loki's paint! I have the white base down so far. Part of my time was also spent just getting my palette set up. I decided that I will paint the pony, then I will make the armour, and it will be removeable. :3


You will be having the details soon. This is good.

I also started watching the Olympics! I was super excited about the figure skating. :3 In the short program pairs, my favorite was the Canadian pair that was in 2nd. The Russian pair was also really good though.
I also really liked the guy that did his program to Roxanne from Moulin Rouge. I love that song!

Also, the warmer weather that we've been having seems to be going away as the temp has dropped and it was snowing when I walked home today. Ah well.


I had a pretty awful migraine this evening, so I'm pretty happy with what I was able to accomplish. n_n'

Just a quick update post! I haven't been feeling very well this evening, which isn't really helpful for posting. n_n'

But I repaired Pony!Loki! I carved off the edges from the head and ear (which fixed the problems from it baking bent), and then I sculpted the ear back onto the head. I was going to just sculpt on a whole new ear if that didn't work, but since I liked the way the first ear had turned out I was at least going to try to repair the original ear. Since I knew I was going to do a short bake on the sculpt anyway, I also did some more sculpting around the hooves and legs.
I baked him, and everything seems to have turned out alright! Now tomorrow I'll be able to start on the next stage. :3


I watched the most recent episode of Face-Off tonight! I was super excited about the dragon make-ups they were doing. I really loved the frozen dragon! So happy that won. I was also amused that the seahorse dragon girl was so positive that she was going home, which I understand because she had a lot of issues, but she didn't even end up on the bottom. That says a lot for the sculpt that she was able to get out there. I totally agreed with what they said about the dragon that was sent home- I mean he had a lot of work there but the first thing I said when I saw it was that it didn't read as a dragon to me. It looked like cross between a yappy dog and a fish wearing armor.
I don't remember anyone's names yet, but I liked that the guy that picked the Frozen theme was excited about recognizing the location for Stark's house. xD

Also continued watching Helix, is anyone else watching that show on here? I like the concepts, and I really want to like the show, but I have issues with the choices that they make on the show. Since they're supposed to be a group of exceptionally smart people you'd think that they'd make less stupid decisions. xP
On the premeire I'd tweeted about the show and one of the actresses had favorited them, which was really neat to me. ehehehe n_n'
Scottie said the most recent episode made him think that the show was originally intended to be set in space, and that makes a lot of sense!
