I am well into the pattern section on the Socks of Rassilon. THe seal is not going to be as obvious as I had hoped. This is because the Sixth Doctor yarn is a rainbow colourway, with the occasionl blue or dark purple section; those bits blend right in with the blue yarn that comprises the rest of the sock. The blue yarn also features the occasional dark purple or greenish bit. Still, I shall perservere, and hopefully I will be able to produce Socks of Rassilon with a more blatant pair of colours somewhere along the line.

And yes, I do think this sort of calls for a Mitten of Omega design somewehre along the line.

Have acquired substitute contrast yarn. Will finish first Sock of Rassilon with the Sixth Doctor colourway. Sock two is going to be done with Koigu Painter's Palette Premium Merino in a red-based colourway. Right weight, colour that contrasts nicely with the blue. Nothing wrong with unmatched socks, when you're doing something like this.

*blink blink blink* I never noticed that before...

Er. May of 2001, I drew a sketch of a friend's RPG character. The photographic reference I was using was Rachel Weisz as of The Mummy Returns, but her hair was far too long to match, so I did up a new hairstyle for her. Full size pic, or check my user pics and look for the one marked 'Madison'.

Last year I needed a picture of Annie Wells for stubborn_annie. The one visual reference to her in Dog Soldiers was a very blurred wallet size photograph that was totally unusable. I wound up picking the actress who played Lady Macduff in the 1998 Bogdanovich version of Macbeth, and darkening her hair. This is her.

Rather a weird coincidence, and one I'd altogether forgotten.
