Porco Rosso is set during the rise of fascism where a human pilot is cursed to be a pig. Porco is a lovable character that you can’t help but love. We meet Fio who is the girl everyone falls for because she is amazing and talented. Listen to Nuchtchas, Tek, Jen, & Jason talk about their experiences with this film. We went pretty long on this one, so it may take a while to get through. enjoy!

Intro to Ghibli, a new regular segment of Nutty Bites and the Talk Nerdy 2 Me Podcasts. Jen & Jason guide newbies Nuchtchas & Tek through the movies of Studio Ghibli. We are starting with the Hayao Miyazaki films in order(ish), just bumping My Neighbor Totoro to the first.  Once we finish those we will hit up the Isao Takahata films, then the Ghibli films without either director, then two non Ghibli Miyazaki films, and we also have some bonus shorts to sprinkle throughout.

Daily Creativity: Rory as DareDevilDaily Creativity: Rory as DareDevil, DareDragon

DareDevil is my friend Claire’s favorite superhero of all time. When I finally got to meet her (back in July of 2015) face to face I painted this for her, Rory dressed as Matt Murdock’s superhero persona. I took a photo of it before giving her the original and I realized tonight when I painted the Rory as Luke Cage piece that I never posted this work here. I actually never even edited any of the photos from that trip. Sorry Mom, those Egret pics were sitting on my external hard drive for two years too. Thank goodness I’m a digital hoarder and still had the raw files on my external drive. So here we are, in all it’s glory, not lost to time, just forgotten for a while. Watercolor and ink on paper.

Luke Cage is an awesome show, and the image of the bullet hole hoodie is inspiring. I won’t ruin it for anyone who hasn’t seen it yet, but when it gets to this point, the image is profound. To celebrate this I use this bullet hole hoodie as the outfit that Rory uses to pay homage to this amazing character. This is the second Defender that I have painted Rory as, I will have to add Jessica Jones and Iron Fist to the mix to complete the series. I actually can’t find the photo of the DareDevil painting I did for Claire, so I may have to do another. I found it, finally posted it, go take a look. Watercolors on paper

Hiriki No Yosei IchiDaily Creativity: Hiriki No Yosei Ichi – Elbow Power Number One

Hiriki No Yosei Ichi is one of the basic movements for aikido. It’s called Elbow Power number one in english. By sliding forward and under you push your elbow forward to get control of your opponent. This movement is found in so many of the techniques you learn in aikido. It sounds simple but is so difficult to learn. Like all of the basic movements, mastering this will improve every aspect of your aikido.

I first drew this with pencil getting all of the lines and angles acurate and then used a brush pen to draw the lines you see. I then erased the pencil lines leaving only the fluid ink brush strokes to try to evoke movement and simplicity. Ink on paper.

Daily Creativity: Iron Fist & Luke Cage on the Tea Cup rideDaily Creativity: Iron Fist & Luke Cage on the Tea Cup ride

I’m currently watching Iron Fist and thanks to Claire from the Defender’s Podcast I got the image of these two riding the tea cups. Luke and Danny are best buds, so it makes sense. I saw it as Luke doing all the work and Danny just having fun. Which sounds a bit right to me. I started this thinking it would be all in ink with limited colors, and then it looked weird to me. So I added colored pencils. So it’s a bit of a mixed media piece.
