My day with Lars

Description

This is my entry for #Search-for-the-Truth's contest, My Day with Lars.
For those of you who don't know, Lars is the pet Dalek of Allie, one of many of Search for the Truth's loveable characters. I love Allie. She's my favorite. XD

Okay, so here's the story of why Lars is stuck to my head:

Allie had a super-extra-secret mission she had to do for UNIT and, unfortunately, she couldn't bring Lars along. So, she hired me to pet-sit him.
For a while, everything was going along pretty well--I left Lars in his jar in front of the TV, checking on him once in a while to make sure he hadn't tried to escape--and to, of course, change the channel. This went on up until about eight, when Allie had told me to send him to bed. So I pulled him out of his jar for a good-night kiss (just kidding; I only tried to hug him) and, all of a sudden, he was trying to strangle me!
Well, not really. He just kind of glommed onto my head and wouldn't let go.
"What are you doing?!" I yelled between several purple tentacles, trying to pry him off of my face.
"If I take a hostage Allie will release me," he answered, in that trademark Dalek monotone.
At first, I was kind of scared; but after a while, he didn't do anything harmful, so I just kind of sat there for a couple hours, watching Top Gear while Lars continued to cling to my head.
Allie came back a little after eleven. Lars started making demands, but he never got them--Allie convinced him to let go with the help of root beer and a box of Pop-Tarts.

And that was my day with Lars.
XD

You have NO IDEA what I had to go through to get this up here. Well, okay, it wasn't that bad, but it did take a while.
So first I drew the sketch, and I was too lazy to color it, so I decided to scan it to the computer and color it in Paint. I'd done stuff like that before, so I didn't think I'd have too much trouble with it. One thing I didn't keep in mind was the new scanner.
Mom got this fancy new one after the main comp died that she could hook up to her laptop. It's a pretty good scanner, I guess, cause it was technically my fault what happened. Our old scanner was also a copy machine--you put the paper face-down, close the lid over it, and start the scan. With the new one, you feed the paper through. Well, I did that, but apparently I put the drawing in crooked, because it got stuck and then I tried to pull it out, not knowing how to open up the scanner, and ripped my drawing in half.
Fortunately, I was able to scan both halves to the computer, but I don't remember what I saved one of the halves to. I couldn't find it, so I decided to scan it again. Every single time I tried to scan it, it got stuck, so eventually I gave up and started looking for the original scan again. I found it, scanned the second half, and managed to put them both together in Paint. Then began the long process of digitalizing (is that a word? o.o) the picture.
And after a few weeks, we have this.
x____X
I know, it's really boring, and it only has two-tone shading, but give me a break, I don't have Photoshop yet. Dx
I suppose I could've added a background, but... no. Paint is too tedious.
Also, I know the pants look kinda funny, but I scribbled that part to make it look more... jeans-y.

EDIT: Yes, my shirt has Gir on it. xD My biffle ~deathis2long got it for me for my birthday, and it matches the hat her mom made for me pretty well. o3o

Me (c) Me.
Lars, Allie, and everyone else (c) Girl-on-the-moon.
Dalek and everything else Doctor Who (c) BBC.

I might have a ref sheet up... later... as well as a story of how I met the Doctor, maybe. Sort of.

Well. I feel like if I watched Alien with my Dalek, she would most likely do this XD
