Daily Creativity: Rory as Captain Canuck, Rawr Canuck?

Daily Creativity: Rory as Captain Canuck, Rawr Canuck?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).

Daily Creativity: Snorlax with RoryDaily Creativity: Snorlax with Rory

The Snorlax is one of my favorite pokemon. Today I painted Rory and his friend snoozing. I thought of adding a Totoro to the snuggle pile but I thought that would disrupt the composition. I think I like this pokemon most because it’s big and sleeps a lot. He looks like he would be a good snuggler too. I never like the story part of the game where you have to wake him up with a flute, just let him nap, don’t wake him. Then again pokemon at it’s core is kinda a cruel notion when you think about it from the animal’s point of view. Trapped in tiny balls and forced to fight for humans? No thanks. My snoozing friend here is great because he doesn’t conform to that standard, he finds a bridge and takes a nap.

Daily Creativity: Rory Celebrates Holi

Daily Creativity: Rory Celebrates HoliHoli has been one of my favorite things to honor in my Daily Creativity project. I wrote more about the Holi Festival perviously and why I love it so much. I’m not Hindi but it inspires me. This year I decided that Rory would celebrate. I did this using watercolor and ink on a watercolor block. I actually finished this earlier today but I couldn’t get it to the scanner. I will not be home tomorrow night, I’m staying over at a dojo, so I expect I will have to post my creativity on social media and scan it and post it later. I have two that I still need to post from two weekends ago when I was at my in laws. I scanned them, they just aren’t on this site yet. I’ll get to it.

Daily Creativity: Breakfast O-Matic 3000 the Breakfast Robot

Daily Creativity: Breakfast O-Matic 3000 the Breakfast RobotI can’t tell you why I drew a robot today, other than I like drawing them. As I drew this one it became a cooking bot, the Breakfast O-Matic 3000, because why not. I really like how I did the shading. It looks even better in person, but my new scanner is better at picking up the details. I think I like drawing robots because they can be made so cute. Something about them when they don’t look human is adorable to me. Coming up with new shapes for them is fun too. This one has the whist, spatula, and even a toaster in the body.

Daily Creativity: You Are Enough

Daily Creativity: You Are EnoughYou are enough. “You alone are enough. You don’t have to prove anything to anyone.” -Maya Angelou. This might be a bit of a phone in, but writing out this quote is what I have today. I have been writing and lettering for the last two months and it is a very calming thing. Today I felt a bit swamped and I can tell I’m getting sick, so my creative juices are a bit dry I guess. This is really what I have. Hopefully tomorrow will be more inspiring. This was written with a FPR Eyedropper Flex pen filled with Diamine Purple Pizzazz ink. It’s hard to see in the scan, but there are gold sparkles on the ink.
