Title: The Girl With The Newsboy Cap

Summary: Lookie Lookie! The summary isn't lame anymore! After being posted to Brussels, Marion Hawker finds that reporting is all it's cracked up to be... and then some. And the whole getting shot thing was definitely helping that revelation along.
Warnings: Again, action, violence, and near-death experiences, though not so much.

Title: The Girl With The Newsboy Cap
Genre: Mystery/Action/Adventure
Rating: T
Chapter: Chapter 3
Summary: In the hallway of life there are a lot of doors. Some are open, some are not. If you don't go through any, then life gets very boring. Sometimes it is going through a door that makes all the difference. The residents of Marlinspike Hall figure that out when a girl with a newsboy cap stumbles upon all of them.
Warnings: Decided to be in celebration of the new Indiana Jones movie after the fact, an almost Indiana Jones scene of action, violence, and near-death experiences.

A webcomic I randomly stumbled across happens to have updated with a Tintin comic recently. I thought it was really amusing; I love the expressions.

After meaning to write a Tintin fic for ages, I finally ended up with something that was nothing like my original idea.

Title: The Girl With The Newsboy Cap
Genre: Mystery/Action/Adventure
Rating: T
Chapter: Prologue
Summary: In the hallway of life there are a lot of doors. Some are open, some are not. If you don't go through any, then life gets very boring. Sometimes it is going through a door that makes all the difference. The residents of Marlinspike Hall figure that out when a girl with a newsboy cap stumbles upon all of them.
Warnings: If I told a warning, then that would give away part of the mystery. Thus, you'll know it when you figure it out. You probably will though.

Aparently this little chappy has been cast as Tintin.  Ok so I only read this on the 'Don't Let Dreamworks Ruin Tintin' facebook group (they got it from comingsoon.net) but I'm pretty happy with this casting.  I think give him a few years and he'll make a fabulous tintin!  What do you guys think?

I'm making Ottokar's Scepter for my Tintin costume and I have a question. The pelican statue on top: Should I stick to Herge's simple, cartoony style, or should I try to sneak a little more realism in (detail on feathers, details on the crown he's wearing)? Which do you all suggest? :D I'm leaning toward the latter because, while I want to be as faithful to the design as I can, Herge was doing a simple drawing of the basic idea of thew staff, I think such a detail-oriented kingship (Muskar's fancy clothes, ya.) would have a more detailed and ornate scepter. So anyway. Thoughts! Comments! Questions! Your advices, tell me them.

HI there long time reader of this place first time poster.

I've a question about the Round Backpack found at the TinTin shop in Covent Gardens. Has anyone brought it? If so was it worth the money and what it actually like? The reason I'm asking is because they don't have a photo of it and I don't live near enough to pop in for a look so can anyone help me?

My first YTMND, fresh out of the oven:

http://tintincosplay.ytmnd.com

Vote and comment if you like it! <3 BTW yes, my hair in the pic is a wig. I am NOT cutting my hair that short again. Sorry. XD

I figured that our community has been quiet lately and could use some actian, even if it's only a small hiccup. Later tonight I'll hopefully have another entry, for a Tintin doll I made. Stay tuned, viewers! :D Hope everyone is well in the world of my fellow Tintin fans! Do any of you have plans for Halloween? I'll actually be cosplaying from FullMetal Alchemist at work that day but if that falls through, Tintin it is! :D

Who else is ecstastic about the opcoming movie? Oh wait, did I just say mvoie? Sorry, meant MOVIES! I don't know if anyone has posted this yet, but here's some info I just found:

There will be at least three back to back movies.
Will be done in CGI.
Will be directed by Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson (Genius plus genius equals ultra-genius).

They should be awesome! Because if they aren't I will hire hitmen to kill those responsible for ruining Tintin's image.

I don't know if anyone in the community has issues/phobias with dolls, but I wanted to warn everyone just in case.

I collect Asian ball-jointed dolls, which range in size from 72 cm to 5 cm tall. For a whiole now I've been holding one on layaway for the express purpose of having my very own Tintin doll. It took forever to find a face sculpt I liked enough to let him be the one, and now he's finally here! He came with no facial colorings so I painted his face. I also trimmed his wig and sanded his chin and nose to make them a bit more round and childlike. I'm working on making his iconic teal shirt; most of what he's wearing is stand-in clothing.











I hope the folks here appreciate him the way I do! He's my little resin ray of sunshine. And his little dog, too. :3
