... ink like this mutha then I would be... probably still nit picking over my work, but at least everyone else would think it was awesome.

I have completely forgotten the link, but it was one of the link-of-a-links that came from a Racefail post, about historical P/CoCs that gave birth to this little nugget - The Queen of Morocco:



Apparently a real prostitute as mentioned in 'The Wandering Whore' (1660-1661). I decided not to make her actually Moroccan, as you can see, partly because I just wanted to draw afro hair in the fashionable do (and it goes really well. Actually tempted me to step away from the relaxer-which-never-works-anyway if only to grow it out and do it up like that. It'd be awesome for the steampunk parties) and also because it's totally an uber-exotic moniker.

Anyway, not to keep all the fun to myself, I envisioned her 'lady-in waiting' as a welsh country girl gone bad (for some reason I thought of alagbon) but had no idea what to make of her apprentice. Probably just another London lass with too much time on her hands.

Not that it matters. I just read too much into things...!

I usually do a write up when I get back home, but because t-mobile broadband is a wanker and a half, the post is a bit late.

Personally I thought this year's was way better than the 'thing' last year, even if it seemed a bit quieter to some.

All for a good cause, Mr Torygraph-reader, all for a good cause...

So as you can see I had a grand old time. Hopefully acquired some fresh meat for the LJ/myspace/blogspot flists and also got some inspiration along the way. Will probably see a couple of the old faces if I go to Bristol - but can't wait until next year.
