Thanks for your support, guys!

For anyone interested, I post mostly on Twitter and Instagram under @emilyzeinner where I express my fandom in weird ways These were the double-sided charms I made to give away at the 40th bash.


@GordonR: sorry your charm broke! Need to use thicker acrylic next time

Thanks guys for the tips!

I'll be bringing silly Sharpie sketch cards to the event if anyone wants one for free Nothing special, just for fun and to kill time on the plane over

These are just some examples I did before.  I'll try to accommodate requests too if anyone has any!

Thanks for the suggestions ya'll!

A lovely lady on Twitter suggested to me that I take a train up to Peak District area, then do a little tour of that area via car (Ilkley Moor/Bolton Abbey) to York. 

It turns out my husband can only take off before the event so I'll be there mostly the week before (happens to be my bday!). Perhaps I'll be celebrating the last hours of my 20's on a plane to London x.x I'll be old and wise by the time you see me at the 2000AD event 

Thanks guys for the advice!

I guess by castles/nature I meant we were more interested in seeing countryside/ruins/hiking/old villagey type stuff rather than shopping/city tourist trap type stuff. Mostly b/c it'll be very different from what we have here in the US! Even if some of it is countryside tourist trap (I really wanted to go to Ireland a few years back for that reason but it fell through.)

However, I'm to believe that it'll be hard to reach a lot of it/everything will be closed anyways during Feb?? I'm a bit torn as to make a day reservation for a car since that particular day could be complete crap weather, and I only know how to drive automatic (I know, I'm terrible)...so might be difficult to obtain one day of.

I will def be checking out the British museum or something similar.

Any Indian/local food or pub recs in London? We have pretty good access to intl food here in San Francisco esp sushi but I've yet to find a really good Indian place. We are pretty big beer drinkers too.

This trip will also overlap Valentine's Day if anyone has some ideas for a vaguely romantic noncrowded(probably impossible) thing to do/place to go during my stay in London. Doesn't need to be a $500 steak dinner, maybe somewhere with a fireplace or view?

@grugz: heh, I didn't do my nails myself so they'd probably get something really poor from me! I also can't believe a french fry sandwich exists but it sounds delicious.

Hi!

I'll be visiting for about 1.5 weeks in Feb for the 40th Anniversary, I'd appreciate any advice on places to go, restaurants/pubs to visit, etc.  I'm aware it's school vacation week while I'll be there but it doesn't seem like it should affect it too much?

I'm most interested in seeing nature/castles/ancient looking stuff (lol) but obviously w the weather and time of year some places are out. I'm thinking of spending half time in London w a few day trips elsewhere, stop by in York, end in Edinburgh? Is Edinburgh too far (maybe take a early train or sleeper)? I'm literally overwhelmed reading about places to go...

I don't think it's probably smart to rent a car around w chance of inclement weather so probably any suggestions will need to be along the train/public transport. I'm totally able to have fun even in freezing rain so as long as it's not me falling off an icy cliff, suggestions for outdoor activities in miserable weather is okay

Hello! It's been a while, a bit of serious health issues keeping me quite down but I made a totally crazy decision to go to this! Hopefully I'll have some time to get back into some art and my map website I started 2 yrs back as well.

If you have a moment, I started a thread in the off-topic forum if you guys can give me a few suggestions as to what to see/avoid/where to go! I'll most likely be flying into LHR although I'm a bit torn as whether to split some time in Edinburgh as well.

Please be sure to say hi to me and my husband at the con! We'll be the ones looking totally lost

Part of a initial rough pass at "Cycle of Violence" - so it's not technically Dredd, but you know, same thing 

When you color it, you can also push the atmo perspective by lightening the bg.  Half the time you drive across the golden gate you can't see the top anyways cuz of the fog.  Nice work.

I didn't end up finishing mine so you can take it outta the lineup

Well people are already voting for it and the like, you sure you want it out?

I suppose it's too hard now to fix everyone's posts, it's ok.  I meant to post on the original thread but it was locked out at that time

I've only got the basic sketch done so far *sweats*   Maybe will post some progress in a few before the deadline.  Apologies if it's looking like Dredd shat himself

nice anderson, has kinda a Nelson Daniel feel to it.

Fantastic, esp listening to Chris get so excited over Apoc War. Sucks living in a vacuum here in the states without anyone to obsess over the comic with.

I second Carroll.

Man. This thread reminds me I need to sketch more :O
