Daily Creativity: Nightcrawler

Rory as X-Men's Nightcrawler, Rorycrawler
When watching Xmen first class the other day got Tek and I talking about Rory moving about the house like Nightcrawler, one moment he’s next to you, the next, next to the cookie jar, then next to you again chomping on cookies. So I drew Rory AS Night crawler :)

I used my new pastel pencils, I like how they work.

Thankful Thursday: JRD Skinner


JRD SkinnerToday is Thankful Thursday and I am thankful to my second patron. This week I received a nice gift off my Art Re-Supply wish list from Mr JRD from Flash Pulp. JRD has helped encourage me in podcasting, writing and my art. Now he has put a few dollars to help further support me so I drew this portrait of him using the supplies he sent.

JRD is a great conversationalist on twitter, supports many creative projects and creative types of people and tends to be an all around good guy. Every person he has suggested I follow on twitter has turned out to be a gem and through his Flash Mob facebook group I have met a slew of online people that enrich my conversations, general knowledge and fun.

Look what came in the mail

Daily Creativity: Rory and his Princess


Remember I said I would hand draw a better Rory and Daenerys picture? Here it is. I based it off a photo I took during HalCon when we ran into a woman cosplayed as the mother of Dragons. She was so excited to see Rory because she was sad she hadn’t figured out how to add a dragon to her costume. Rory was thrilled to see her because she had a bloody horse heart to eat and blood dripping down her chin :)

I admit, I cheated slightly to get the proportions right on this picture, I printed out the photo and used it as a guide. This was drawn with pencil, then inked with my new sharpies.

Tek mentioned I drew a lot of Rory pictures for lent this year, and I did. I admit that using Rory makes it easy for me to find inspiration, also, it gives me more practice drawing him so when I commence working on his children’s book it will be nicer. I missed a few days this year, but all in all I think this was a good lent and a good Daily Creativity project. Expect to see more from me, but as lent is over they won’t be arriving every day.

thank you.

Daily Creativity: Rory from District RAWR!


I drew this yesterday for Daily Creativity, I only uploaded it now because I drew it after we came back from the movies. We saw the Hunger Games at the theatre here on base. I had seen it once before and Tek had not seen it nor had he read the book. Seeing the movie the second time made me see a lot of the flaws of the film, but I still loved it. I cried, but not nearly as much as I did the first time. Tek really liked the film and though we dissected all the physics flaws he still liked it a lot and rated it high.

I was inspired to draw Rory from District RAWR simply because I was still thinking of the hunger games when I put pencil to paper. I gave him a mighty tum to show, that he is a victor and not hungry at all, my dragon is never left hungry :)
