One of my best mates has a pet dragon. Well, not really a pet dragon so much as a dog in dragon form. Anyone who went to his wedding - still weird to say, Boyd - probably remembers the ring-bearer. Kind of drooly, a little on the warm side?
Anyway, I thought I was waiting - my favourite hobby - for a voice session (we do a lot of waiting. There's seriously a joke that runs around "Hurry up and wait!"), and I got inspired to draw Nessie. As a cartoon.
( Drawing #1 )
Obviously not quite what Nessie looks like, but I wanted to make her kind of cuddly. PS. DO NOT TRY TO CUDDLE A DRAGON IN REAL LIFE.
I decided to do these drawings when I started doodling a real dragon.
( Drawing #2 )
I really should get in the habit of drawing more on my breaks.

WARDED TO EDWARD WATKINS:I'm going to my brothers' tonight. My sister-in-law's sister was killed by Death Eaters (guess you probably know about it already), but I want to be there for them. Don't wait up. I'll let you know if anything changes.

Axe Hit and Avacado (for now) Auror give uni-baby up for adoption. Enjoy.
WARDED TO ED WATKINS:Think I can crash on your couch for a bit?

In honour of St Patty's day, I present the next round of AXE HIT.
Warded to Elinor & Aaron:
You'll tell me if there's anything I can do? Even if it's just taking Emma and Lisa off your hands for an hour or two?

Past few weeks have been a blur. In recording sessions for enough wireless drama parts to be heard on most of them. Wonder who can actually spot my voice without giving away my parts. Maybe a few hints would make a fun game out of it. - Gringott's robber. Guess how that goes.
- Knight Bus passenger.
- Biscuit eater at tea.
- Cigarette smoker.
- Security troll trainer.
- Potential murder suspect.
- Socialite. Alcoholic. Womaniser. Same role.
- Photographer.
That last one wasn't much of a stretch really.

I think it's safe to say that I can now unveil the second episode of AXE HIT.

Whoa. Writing. Wrong journal. Shit. Lanie, how do you ward something private after you've already done it?

Did anyone check out Gryphon Place last night? I was the Grave Robber. HAH. Bet you didn't recognise my voice at all. Shame it was just for a one-off character, though.
Finally figured out the best way to photograph any of the larger paintings I've been working on. It's not perfect, but it'll do. And just in time for my latest painting, actually. I call it Hardly Waiting.
Warded to Michael Dawlish:
You got a minute or two?

All right. So in between recording session waiting, I've been working on my comic. Things have been pretty shite lately, so I thought I'd give some laughs. I would pop some of my art here, but it's taking me a bit more to be able to get a whole damned piece in here.
So for now, I bring to you what I hope is the first of many - wave your wand here - AXE HIT (& Dino Auror) comics. Inspired by my dad - who is not a dinosaur or a deranged Hit Wizard, for the record.

Warded to Boyd MacFusty:
So you know, I think something's up with Ed. He's just told me he needs to get out of the flat, and I know he was on duty last night. Guessing he was involved in that crime scene or something. We're going out drinking.
How's everything on your end, mate?
