Inktober Day 14 - World War 2 Heroes

I am gradually catching up! So the word of the day was "tree", which made me think of "three". So I have these model army men that I bought at the hobby store and I was going to draw three of them, but I wanted to draw four of my favorite ones instead to make a squad. Then I wanted to include my Sherman Tank model in there as well. And that is how art is made.

Inktober Day 13 - Cable

This is Cable from the X-Men. Honestly his whole history and power set are confusing to me. Also "Jay and Miles X-Plain the X-Men" podcast hasn't reached his history yet, so I am a little clueless about him other than some key points. To my understanding, Cable is the son of Cyclops and the clone of Jean Grey "Madelyne Pryor". Cable's real name is Nathan Summers, as a baby he was transported into the future where he became a warrior and time traveler. Sometimes he has telepathic powers and sometimes not due to his techno organic infection. Additionally he is a brilliant tactician. Thanks Wikipedia.

Inktober Day 12 - Rogue

I've made it back from moving my Fiance. Sorry I didn't get a chance to post these drawings! The 12th was Wednesday...and I drew Rogue from the X-Men. Her costume has changed throughout the years but I wanted to draw the first one she wore back when she was in the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. Rogue is putting on her glove with a disgusted face because her powers absorb peoples memories, personalities, and super powers when she touches them.

For this illustration I used a little bit of everything. I used some watercolor pencils, copic markers, and ink.

Inktober Day 11 - Alanna and Zoey

Today I helped load up the UHAUL to move Alanna to Florida. I will be driving it tomorrow. Oddly enough today's word is "transport" so this worked out perfectly!

Inktober Day 10 - Luke and Yoda

Today was a little difficult for me to come up with an idea. The word to help me out was "jump". All I could think of was Luke jumping around the swamp with Yoda, so here you go. So I guess Luke is supposed to be training while Yoda rides around on his back. As a kid the Dagobah scenes seems to last forever, but now I am more appreciative of them for all the Yoda quotes. Plus I would totally like there if I could get past the snakes. Also plese forgive my photos this week, I am having to shoot them on my phone. I will replace them with scans when I return.

Inktober Day 9 - Andy Dwyer

"The pit, I fell into the pit, you fell into the pit, we all fell in to the pit" - Mouse Rat

In the words of Eddie Vedder "I'm still Alive". I am helping my Fiance move in the process of inktober, but that is not going to stop me! So Sundays word was "broken". I don't know why but I automatically thought of Andy Dwyer (Chris Pratt) from Parks and Recreation with his broken legs. Andy decides to take a short cut and falls into a hole in his backyard. This sets up the fatefully meeting of Anne Perkins, Andy Dwyer, and the Parks and Recreation team. It's a good show, if you haven't seen it, it is well worth the watch. Everyone is great in it but Chris Pratt steals hilarious in almost every scene he is in.

Inktober Day 8 - More Cowbell

Here is a drawing that I have been working up for the past few days. It is based on the Saturday Night Live skit about the Blue Oyster Cult. Will Ferrell is playing the cowbell obnoxiously as the others try and record "(Don't Fear) The Reaper". It's a classic and I love to watch it to see everyone try and keep in character as the skit gets crazier. The word of the day was "rock". My first thought was to draw The Thing, then Dwayne The Rock Johnson, then I started to think about classic rock.

For this drawing I stuck with my brush. I worked all day on a oil painting so I think my lines came out more loose and I'm not so sure how I feel about it. I tried to get everyone's personality into the drawing and I can say that at least I can tell who is who haha.
