The Anti-Social Club ~ Luna

My maybe slightly but not quite off topic piece for 'luna'.
I've never really done much fan art but when I saw the topic was luna this week, the first thing that popped to mind was Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter and then I couldn't think of anything else so I just went with it.

Wall

I love walls that have things growing out of them and there's an old wall between our house and the ducks that has all sorts going on.



I love this tiny gate. I don't know if the space was always so short or if the road is higher now than it was but it looks like it was built for hobbits. The top of the wall is about head height.



Look at all the colours on that last plant!
A fine old wall indeed.

Feeding the Ducks. And the Geese and Pigeons.

We had a loaf of bread that had started growing mould so I chopped off all the bad bits and we headed out in the drizzle to feed the ducks. I figured we'd get attacked by greedy geese, give up the bread really fast for fear of getting knocked over and that'd be that. That would have been fine but it turned out so much better. We sat on a bench and fed an Egyptian goose and then her quite grown up babies came over and she stood back keeping an eye on the geese and swans that were in the water while they ate out of our hands! They were quite bold, still a little timid if you moved too quick. It was awesome.



We thought we'd share the love (and felt a bit bad about giving a whole loaf to a few young ones considering bread isn't actually all that great for them) and headed down to find some other ducks and got bombarded by the prettiest pigeons and a few mallards.



The pigeons turned out to also be super friendly and not only would eat out of your hand but would sit on your hand to get the food so we got to hold the pigeons. Their underneaths are so so soft. I've got a real soft spot for pigeons so this was the icing on the tasty cake.



All in all a pretty good start to the day. We even sat for a bit and did some drawing before heading back home for lunch.

 

Will took these bottom two on his phone so I had evidence of my birdy encounters.

I've been working on a few commissions lately that I can't share yet and I sent the last one off yesterday so I'm feeling pretty excited about working on some new things that I'll be able to share as they happen. As well as new items for the shops I also really want to work on backgrounds. I'm drawing people out of my head more often and I think I need to start working on giving them somewhere to be.
I'm off to make pizzas and then stuff my face. Good evening to you ^_^

I'm not sure why this lady looks so irritated. Someone probably just said something stupid. Again.

Soothing Saturday

I spent today with my parents and Will wandering around the city looking at pretty things. It was quite lovely.



There are a few of these around the city at the moment and I can't get over the fact that they're clearly freehand. I dream of being able to write like that.



This Egyptian goose couple had eight fluffy little babies wandering around nibbling grass or sitting in a huddle. It was so cute.



We saw another pair in the river and they had two babies who were equally as cute and fluffy. We threw them a few bits of bread and the goslings got no special treatment, all four of them were thinking only of themselves and getting the bread.



I am totally convinced it's a Sunday. Tomorrow will be like I get an extra day.
I actually just checked the calendar again, it is Saturday.
