I’m obsessed with My Mad Fat Diary so I decided to try and draw Rae Earl. I love her because she’s so flawed, so much like me at that age. Also, the music and clothes are from my days in university, my days when people first started to notice I was alive. Sometimes I want to smack her for being stupid, but I can’t blame her. It’s so great seeing someone like her on tv.
I love the band Bloody Diamonds, and for a while there was a running joke about how any time they came to town, I was out of town. It got so bad the one time I was in town and they were playing I was stuck at the radio station fixing the transmission and missed their show. Finally, I was able to see a show of theirs as a two piece (part of the stripped down tour), and then later with their new bandmates and got to hear the full sound of the band. Both shows were amazing, the second actually felt like I was getting a private show. I only have interaction with Sara & Jake and they are both awesome people IMO.
A few weeks ago I saw a tweet with a great shot of Sara by by Joeri Coppens, I liked the photo so much that I saved it for painting later. I painted it a few days ago on my iPad. I like how bright Sara is in contrast with the dark background.
While recording an interview today with The Way of the Buffalo Podcast, Hugh was asking me about my Daily Creativity project. I was telling him about the Tinkerpam drawing I did and it gave Tek a light bulb idea. Malory Archer as Cruella Deville! Much like Tinkerpam, this is a perfect fit. I even tried to give her coat the coloring of Duchess, her beloved dog. I’m really impressed with what I did here, I was afraid I couldn’t draw Malory so well, or if I did, she wouldn’t look Cruella like at all, but I think she looks great. I can see myself drawing all the different characters from Archer as different Disney characters now, the trick is figuring out who is who.
I love the show Archer. The first time I watched it, it was OK, but it’s one of these shows that the more you watch it, the funnier it is. There are a lot of in jokes and call backs, and if you ever watched Arrested Development, you’re going to like this show, because half the actors and characters are in it. Seriously, Mallory Archer is the Mrs. Bluth!
One of my favorite characters has become Pam. She’s awesome, she’s not afraid to be who she is, say whatever she feels like saying, and she kicks ass, literally. Like in old car parks for money…
I drew her as Tinkerbell because she is anything but, and I found it funny. Also, she has the same hair style, and color, plus, she can pull it off. Pam is my hero.
I don’t know what defines something as fanart, or not. Are James Hance’s creations fan art, or just a James Hance? Is this fan art, or a Nuchtchas creation? Or is it both? I never understand these labeling rules… I hate labels.
Here we have the last installment of the Red Dwarf IntroCast crew… well the last individual portrait, I may create a group shot of all four.
Shane is very fitting as Holly, he has all the facts and was originally the only veteran viewer, so he knew more than the newbies. Plus, Shane is a politician, so it makes sense that he can have an IQ of 6,000 and sometimes get confused where in space he is :P
I couldn’t make Shane bald here to match Norman Lovett, but I couldn’t make him blonde to match Hattie Hayridge either, his own hair is just way too cool.
