A while ago I got this idea of drawing the Red Dwarf IntroCast crew as the characters from Red Dwarf. I have been so busy that I haven’t had time to do it yet, I had to push it aside when I got busy with paid work. Now, I am starting it, and doing pieces as part of my Daily Creativity Project.
This is Heath as the role of Rimmer :)
Half the time I am looking for inspiration, tonight, I decided I wanted to do one of my puff characters, so I asked twitter who I should do. @Cynical_Woman was the first to chime in, she asked me to do He-Man. It’s been a long time since I drew He-Man, so I had to look him up, and how his sword looks, but…. By the power of Grayskull, I did it. :)
Second day into this year’s Lent project of Daily Creativity, I’m not sure where this scene came from, but it popped into my mind. I had fun with the line shading, I really like the crosshatching in the teddy’s ears.
Many of you know that each year at Lent instead of giving something up, I take something on. I take the same thing on every year. Daily Creativity. I create something every day.
But I haven’t yet this year, what gives? Part of it, is I was surprised at how quick lent came, secondly I was swamped, mentally and physically. Not an excuse, just what’s been going on. I didn’t even write my valentine’s story this year. I plotted for it, but never wrote it. My lack of creativity has been draining me, so tonight I got back to something I’m good at, Drawing.
We are in the middle of a whiteout, a snow storm that is so windy you can’t see anything but white. We have snow drifts in the middle of the road, they pulled the plows off the transcanada highway. So I of course think of Rory all bundled up and shoveling. In reality his humans do that for him.
“Enjoy your body, use it every way you can…don’t be afraid of it, or what other people think of it, it’s the greatest instrument you’ll ever own…”
Move your body, no matter the size or restrictions. In movement we learn what our bodies can do, and we can learn to love them. Love your body, love the skin you are in.
I really like how this one came out. I painting this from a photo I saw on tumblr, reblogged and shared so often I can’t find the original poster or photographer, but it was inspiring.
