Daily Creativity: Tek and Rory as Calvin and Hobbes

Rory and Tek as Calvin and Hobbes
I’m finding I really like watercolors, yes I knew I liked them, but it’s been so long since I’ve used them. I’m having a lot of fun with this, found some of my older, better brushes too, that helps tremendously. While I think I got the right face for the Tek-Hobbes I think it’s too much Hobbes and not enough Tek. It’s hard taking a human, without any signature features other than a buzz cut and turning him into a tiger. Making the Calvin-Rory was a lot easier, the spineidies are a big Rory trait, the brown eyes and fangs and well he’s green.

I think I might use this style of painting (not the Calvin and Hobbes, but the painting style) when I illustrate the Rory goes to the Dentist book idea I’ve been thinking about.

Nutty Bites: Nutty Debate – Geek Gifts

Rory as Father ChristmasI had hoped to get this edited and uploaded before Christmas, but that didn’t happen.  As it is, I didn’t even have room to play the bloopers, which were pretty funny because halfway through recording I thought my house was burning down… oh well, there is still tons of funny in the podcast.

Happy Christmas

Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, have a great Festivus (for the rest of us), and have a wonderful Gratefulus day!

Yes Chanukah started six days ago, if you follow me on social media you read my well wishes.  I thought I would share once more how my family celebrates the holidays, just because it’s fun and I found it easier to write the tale down so I can reshare it every year.  (This year I got to add some new people to the comic :) YAY I love getting new family)
