Weekly Update

Okay, first of all: "The Wedding of River Song." Or really, just the character River Song herself. Her "relationship" with the Doc bothers me. I must have been asleep throughout S5 and 6 because I just don't see the love between them. At first, I was intrigued and wanted to see their romance develop after watching "Flesh and Stone," but I don't think it did. Sure, they flirt, but it seems forced and something that two buddies would do just to goof off, so I can't really ship them. I don't recall the Doc being affectionate with River, and even acted like he was being mouth-raped when she kissed him in "Day of the Moon." He shows more love towards Amy, and even Rory, and I swear they are something of a threesome, because well, DAMN. Just watch them together. XD And then there was Craig. So, yeah.
 He seems bitchy towards River and even screams at her sometimes (like when they were dealing with the Weeping Angels), and when he met her in his tenth incarnation, he looked a bit bothered and creeped out by her. ("Silence in the Library"/"Forest of the Dead") So, where's the chemistry that people keep claiming they see?
River comes off more as a stalker who is obsessed with the Doc because that's all she knew when being brainwashed, and her attitude that she loves him more than anyone else is kind of a turn-off (but I do have to admit that Kingston was gorgeous during that scene. Alex is a fox anyway).
Also, did they really get married (especially since that timeline disappeared, and it was a robot Doc)? He seemed to marry her out of necessity rather than with any sort of loving feeling.
And that line that they share nights together creeped me out. XD I guess because I consider him somewhat asexual, but he's also so childlike. So, ew. D:

 (from Tumblr-I love who made this)

Someone else described River perfectly for me: "She was an independent woman who we find out is actually utterly dependent on the Doctor for every direction her life has gone. She also now seems to be someone who loves him only because she doesn't actually know any other way, which makes the relationship feel forced. They feel like they're going through the motions because that's what the script says they're supposed to be doing."
Yup. I still like her somewhat (she was awesome at the end of Closing Time-very emotional), but I'm not emotionally-invested in this relationship, since there's not much to go on. ._.; Marathon-viewing of S5/6 time maybe?
Maybe there's hope for them yet, but I think that after two seasons, it shouldn't feel this forced at this point in time.
Well, anyway! Here's to the Christmas special later this year. And Sherlock S2 early next year. And Mad Dogs S2 also. Can't wait. :3

Junky junk:

Graphite Nick-not done (and the camera angle makes things look off)

Two versions (flash/no flash) of Conte crayon dust figure-that was fun

Facial features from our anatomy book

Quickie of Homura and 11 chapter cover idea-not done, of course. XD

Quickie of Doctor/Master (with cockatoo and penguin plushies :3) I thought that I would be used to Simm's face by now, but he's a hard bastard to draw (and I take that as a challenge, dammit!) because he's so ordinary and I can't latch onto just one feature (other than his freakishly long neck). The nose should be shorter, and his face should be slanted inward more, but eh, it's okay. 8D Line!Dave came out alright, but he's too easy. (I hope I didn't just jinx myself by writing that)

Profiles alone:

I do love shading clothes.

And because I thought it was amusing: Flirting between Doc/Master and why you shouldn't perform a cockblock. 8D

And this was funny too.

Oh, and Nash is awesome.
