This Love Your Body piece is more what people traditionally thing of when they think of watercolors, and that is ok. I enjoyed playing with the color and the softness of the light bringing out the curves of the figure. You can see the reference photo that inspired this piece here, but sadly the model and photographer info were never posted, so if you know it, let me know.

Love Your Body, no matter what it looks like. It has been there to help you, not hinder you. It may not match what society tells you it should look like, but society is often wrong. It looks just as it should. I sketched this in charcoal and really love the quick impressions I was able to put down. I think this pose shows how much love there is for the subject’s own skin. It’s something I think we should all aspire too. Rather than contorting to an impossible ideal we should love what we have. All bodies are good bodies.

Rory is dressed as Nepeta Legion in today’s creativity. I was working on something else but I became consumed with a young lady I love. I her honor I drew this tonight. Colored pencils and graphite pencils on paper
I love the Kurzgesagt videos and how they explain concepts in an entertaining way. I also really love their art style and especially Duck. If you back them on patreon I think for $40 you get a custom duck made for you and added to the videos, which is pretty cool. I thought it would be fun to create Rory in that art style. I really wanted to promote them and pay homage to them. So here is some fan art. I’m thinking that Rory also loves them.

Captain Canuck is a lesser known superhero, but a fun one. Since I am a resident of Canada I thought it only fitting that I finally paint Rory as the good ‘ol Captain. Who is a total rip of Captain America but totally not, because of course there are differences, but totally a rip. It’s all good, America rips off the rest of the world right? Not many superheroes use tanfas as their main weapon either.
I struggled with coming up with a Rory’fied name for this one. Captain Rawr was for that other captain. So Rawr Canuck? Dragon Canuck? I don’t know. I do know he will win a poutine eating contest, can swallow a bakers dozen of butter tarts in a single swallow, and is friends with all of the cats on Parliament Hill. (Super Canadian humor for the win).
