KnitChick's Crafty Ramblings

So, I'm getting a new laptop. YAY! And since it's totally my dream laptop I'm gonna be babying it like you wouldn't believe ;) So as part of that keeping it as pristine as possible for as long as possible I'm gonna invest in a laptop skin for the lid. Besides, I *need* to advertise my geekery y'know!

I really want a custom Torchwood/Doctor Who design (gee what a surprise), and I'd love to have chibis of the whole Torchwood team (plus the Doctor, Donna, Rose and Martha) and possibly also Myfanwy and Captain John, but also chibis of my AU Torchwood team (and Doctor, Donna, Ross, and Marcus and Captain Joanna Hart). But that's a lot of chibis and I don't really have the money to commission something like that. I mean, one of my favourite Doctor Who artists is open for commissions on DA right now but no more than 2 characters non coloured because she's busy. :(

So I'm debating if I just make something with my awesome graphics manipulation skills (I have the Torchwood logo with blue background that I had on my now-dead laptop and I could add some scanned pictures and stuff) and when I have money invest in a commissioned drawing, or if I should tone down what I want and spend a little less money on a smaller commission.

Anyone know of an artist that's able to do Torchwood drawings and would be able to do some Torchwood chibis cheap? (for some reason the idea of a bunch of chibis in cute poses just appeals to me) At the very least I'd love to have my team drawn.

Ah well, well I ponder that...I gotta think of what I'm going to name this computer! :) Oh and fire up the graphics software to make me some wallpapers. Because the native resolution of the laptop I'm getting is 1280x800, and I don't think I really have any wallpapers that big (for one) and also in that widescreen format. Plus I hardly ever see any in that size to download. So, excuse to make new wallpapers! :D

Today's thing that made me happy -- Carole (huskyfriends) and I went to Alien Entertainment to pick up my birthday gift from her! Yes, my Jack action figure finally came!!

And yes we already have pictures of him with a Starbucks cup. We're such geeks!!

Now if only I could figure out why this computer won't let me upload anything I could post that picture! ;)


Oh and that store is just totally made of WIN!!! They have awesome Doctor Who and Torchwood stuff, and Star Trek stuff and Star Wars stuff and Buffy stuff! I already decided I'm dragging my mom there and making her buy the library BTVS playset and set it aside for my GLSIS graduation gift. Because I am THAT big of a geek. Come on, a library playset for library school graduation? How perfect is that! Plus a hot Giles action figure to go with it of course ;)

But for now I gotta get back to preparing for the GRE tomorrow so I can get money for school :D
