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 :)
