142 - Queens added

142 - Queens added

I've spent a couple of hours scanning in some Queen characters and I've added a new Queen Cartoons project. There are some blog posts from the past that relate to this. They are written in a slightly different tone and I need to tidy them up because they have broken product links in them. More on that another day.

Here is an outtake. I like this one a lot but she doesn't fit with the final iterations set of characters, because you can see her eyes. Also, she's not wearing her gloves. And her brooch is missing. Spot the difference.

I started drawing QEII in April 2022. Sadly she died in September of the same year. So I drew an angel version of her but I don't really like this one. It doesn't fit with my theme which is not actually about the Queen, it's about her icon or her iconification or her as icon. Also, it doesn't seem decent to have a grinning angel. So she has this demure smile which doesn't fit with the set.

Macmillan Cancer Support

This year I challenged myself to write one blog post per day, for 365 days. The project began on 3 March 2025.

I have linked this challenge to a charity fundraiser, because I want to look outside as well as inwards and contribute to society. It also holds me accountable and adds motivation to write everyday.

Macmillan is an organistation that offers powerful help to anyone (in the UK) who has been affected by cancer.
