So I went and had a look to see when my last non-fandom related art-post actually was. Not counting the Novemberdoodles, it... was a long time ago, oh wow.
Then again, I haven't really drawn anything non-fandom related in what feels like aaages, simply because I live for the short high the crack in those doodles provide me. But I digress.

The other day, I found one of my sketchbooks again, and it was empty, so I decided to fill it. Preferably with not so many fandom doodles, just to see if I actually CAN still draw something not related to fandom crack.
Basically, I just sat down, watched 'criminal intent' or any other spin-off available, and doodled. Mostly just drew from pictures I found on my HD to get warm again. There are a lot of super random pictures on my HD, btw, I boggled.

Because if you're about to meet your death falling from the sky, might as well enjoy it.
Actually, this was an underwater picture, first. A bit less morbid. Maybe.

A guy without eyes. His life is full of misery.
No, seriously, I don't like this one and consider it a failure on several points.

Two pictures I had from the Foxglove Fashions site. The one with the cup is not supposed to look that tense...

A picture of a jumping lady wearing a nice dress that I found on DA once.
She reminds me a little of

aeromachia's Lux, so maybe that's her.

Another underwater picture, by Zena Holloway. I'm rather fond of this one.

Okay, this one was freehand ~~does it show~~.
Concept of one of the two main characters of my next comic, should there ever be such a thing.
She's not a dancer, but I wanted her to do something else than just stand around.
I bet she couldn't even dance properly, actually.

...

Um, so I lied a bit, there is something fandom related after all. I watched some bloke play through FFXIII on Youtube some weeks ago and enjoyed it immensely.

I added the face in the end, when her being faceless was just too creepy.
I shouldn't have.
Anyway, I liked Lightning! And her uniform was all kinds of cool. Except for that cape, that was kind of useless.

OR WAS IT?

I promised Rae I'd draw this out. So I did.
Okay, they should both be involved in the act but that didn't work out. Light'll just have to cover up for Hope. I'm sure she'll be happy to do so.

Yeah, I kind of didn't like Snow.

At all.

ALSO? This last picture is NOT fandom related, whatever you might think of it, it is not what you think it is because why would I draw such things?

Nope. You are seeing things.

This war referenced from another picture I have on my HD, actually, it's a nice painting, a bit 50ies pin-up stile. I have no clue who the artist is, though, because the filename says 'sexswingers' and I am so not googling that.

Aaaand that's it. Congrats for making it this far =3

Oooh, prettypretty. ♥ Except for that last picture of course, because it doesn't exist, so it can't be pretty.

Do you happen to remember what the FFXIII play-through guy was called? Because I'm curious about that game, but I don't have a PS3 and don't want to get one just for this game...

aw, thank you so much <3 and last picture, what last picture. =3

The LPer I followed is called GameOnTurtle (http://www.youtube.com/user/GameOnTurtle#p/p), and while he's not really the best or most amusing LPer, he is quite entertaining at moments. He didn't do all the mini-quests that were available, and was seriously underleveled most of the time/could have played better because he kept dodging fights to bring on the story, but it was all good fun, and I liked how he didn't cut out his failures and Game Overs.
The biggest problem was, actually, that a crucial part of the final scene got deleted in his LP thanks to copyright, but I found that easily on some other part of Youtube, so yeah.
As far as I know, there's at least one german LPer on youtube that is through with the game, as well, but I can't remember his name, sorry.

TL;DR: I watched a guy named GameOnTurtle.

Thank you! =) I'll look into it!

... but man, being under-levelled would ruin an RPG experience for me. Isn't the beauty of RPGs that you can get experience in doing one thing (elegantly slay a scary behemoth) by doing something else (levelgrind by killing bugs and slime); unlike real life in which you can only learn to slay a behemoth by slaying a behemoth, but there's a shortage of behemoths anyway, so. I'm saying, the coolest thing is advancing into new RPG terrain and still be able to kick ass of anything that runs into you. Like a boss.

Okay so this guy wanted to spare us all watching him powerlevel. Details, details. I'm gonna babble at you anyway. |D

Glad to be of service!

What a beautifully crafted comment, expressing all my sentiments towards RPGs! Preach it, sista! The joy of playing a game is to be able to mow down everything, especially that terrible beast that has been terrorizing the plains for centuries!
Except maybe Malboros.

No, this guy just had VERY bad planning. FF13 has a bit of a similar system to FF10 with the Sphärobrett, but his guy constantly neglected to level the abilities, and only did so every time a boss defeated him (which happened every time). I think the first time he really leveled up his weapons was right before the final boss. After a while, my levelgrinding soul just wanted to hunt him down and shake some sense into him.
