My ink drawing of what I call a Mech Mage, a robot who defied the odds to master magic.

#wizardwednesday #drawing #art
My ink illustration of a mech mage, a bipedal robot with stout legs, two strong arms carrying a staphaser (ranged laser staff), and a long extendable neck.

Lost track of the time playing piano, which was very relaxing.

These chilly rainy late fall days are great for warm lap blankets, hot soup with cornbread, and screenwriting interrupted by cats wanting to step on the cordless keyboard to snuggle.

Kind of amazing how quickly paperwork can build up. I've been sorting, filing, shredding, and recycling all day. Feels good to catch up on getting it all organized.

My cousin came to town last minute. Spent a lovely evening with her, my aunt, and my uncle, celebrating her birthday and catching up on life's happenings. Ma famille est très unie.

My drawing of a cybernetic dragon, a dreadful foe with a keen lethal combat sense.

#DragonTuesday #drawing #art
My pencil drawing of a cybernetic dragon I named Zeot. Colors added to my pencil drawing of a cybernetic dragon I named Zeot. He has purple scales and silver metallic horns, thick cables around his jaw, and cold blue eyes beneath metal plating around the sockets. Smoke drifts up from out his nostrils as he snarls to reveal sharp teeth.

Always striving to actualize the importance of a person giving themself a bit of leeway, some slack, a few do-overs, several helpings of try-again, many moments of reflection, a couple pats-on-the-back, generous amounts of approach-it-a-different-way, and a solid sprinkling of live-and-learn.

Never underestimate the power of a huge bulletin board, a jar of pushpins, and paper & pencil lists to organize things.

Simple reminder: when you see social media numbers such as likes and views, especially from certain "sites", they lack any credibility whatsoever at this point. So, two million views can be just six views in reality, if that. It's really become meaningless manipulated data.

My black marker drawing of a mage who is quick at scrolling.

#wizardwednesday #drawing #art
My black marker drawing of a robed and belted mage holding an unfurled enchanted scroll aloft which they have pulled with their left hand from a quiver of scrolls revealed hanging from their right hip beneath a cloak they pulled aside with their right hand.

Each day, my cats find me no matter what I'm up to, plop down in my lap, and just contently remain there waiting to be pet, inevitably drawing me back into simply enjoying the present moment in their company before they meander off on their adventures, only to return several times, schedule unknown.

My block-printing-styled illustration of a summoned protective spirit.

#halloween #drawing #art
My black and white illustration of a summoned protective spirit, a black snake-like smokey entity with white glowing eyes surrounding the summoner, a man with long hair a black shirt with long white sleeves, a belt with a long pouch on his left hip, long white pants, and white shoes.

My painting of a sacred place to locals, known as The Forge, on an inhabited moon.

#painting #art
My painting of an inhabited moon. Twin waterfalls from cave openings near the top of a tall mesa fill a lake below which feeds a river that flows into the distance to a cave entrance at the base of an active volcano. This place is known as The Forge. A large pale planet looms overhead, filling most of the sky beyond the smoking volcano.

Challenging to ascertain how much of a page/pages an action scene should occupy since a land, sea, sky, or space vehicle chase, personal pursuit, scuffle, full-on melee, ranged combat, daring escapes, and such can be choreographed and captured in such varying ways and scopes.

When do you think the 8,200,000,000 non-billionaires will collectively realize there's no reason to allow any of the 2,800 billionaires to harm non-billionaires? When does it sink in finally that non-billionaires always have the power to not sustain any billionaires who harm any non-billionaires?

A floating servant of the underworld traverses the night sky of the mortal realm circumnavigating the globe so as to remain forever in the shadow of the world collecting and guarding its prisoners. It may be glimpsed out of the corner of the eye by those who wrong others.

#Halloween #painting #art
A floating chunk of rock from the underworld crossing the waning crescent moon skies of the mortal realm. A giant bladed beastly tentacle protrudes from it. Many chains slink out from orange glowing holes in the rock's surface, ending in patches of darkness, some of which imprison pale ghostly souls collected from the world below. It glides silently from dusk till dawn but since it moves around the world dawn never arrives for it, an eternal warden guarding its condemned passengers. Though usually invisible to most sky watchers, mortals occasionally can glimpse it out of the corner of their eye after they have wronged others.

Enjoying a chill day of screenwriting. I know how to do the effects, so I'm trying not to limit the scope. It's a sci-fi adventure. I've already got ideas for the score, too. Likely have to travel to different regions for some settings. Coming together solidly.

A pencil sketch of a non-judgmental phantom to guide you on life's journey. It has all the time in the world to accompany you to wherever the Fates decree.

#halloween #drawing #art
My pencil drawing of a phantom drifting from left to right with a flame-like robe blazing downward and a skeletal face staring out from under a cowl. It beckons mortals follow it to places unknown.

I think many people just assume successful people have had lots of great opportunities without realizing many have just had exceptionally horrifying and/or tragic things happen to them that don't allow them to ever become complacent about stagnation and not striving forward.

I'm working on learning more Spanish and Portuguese. Late members of my family were fluent. I can read them fairly well. Trying to get them to at least my fluency level in French, so combined I can be better equipped to enjoy exploring Latin America and the South Pacific.

Seriously, if you're in the Louvre for, I don't know, whatever reason you might decide to be there, go to the cafe under the glass pyramid, bottom level, and get a Tarte au Citron (French Lemon Tart) or two. They are delicious.

My illustration of a monster born from the deepest recesses of the lowest Pit. Its hungry primeval visage remains cloaked in shadow as it scours the mortal realm for sustenance.

#halloween #painting #art
My monotone illustration of a spooky monstrous killer with most of its upper body in shadow, only its white eyes and inhuman wide grinning fanged mouth visible. Its lower body is seen in the muted light, holding a dripping knife in its right hand and severed human head in its left hand.

Colors added to my black marker drawing of a conjuror opening a portal to other worlds.

#wizardwednesday #drawing #art
Colors added to my black marker drawing of a humanoid pterosaur-like conjuror wearing a light brown hide tunic with dark brown leather bandage-like wrappings around its wrists, upper tail, and lower legs. It has a quiver filled with magical sand on its back over its right shoulder, holds a scroll in its right hand, and drops a stream of sand with its left hand down onto a rune-like pattern of sand on the ground. A stone-tipped spear is plunged into the ground by the sand pattern and its non-tipped end is lit as an enchanted torch opening a portal behind it to multiple worlds across the universe.

The soundscape is storytelling. Has its greatest potential when factored in early, during pre-production, not saved for last in post. Planning for, say, a particular-feeling score and related sound f/x entirely reshapes the perception of what's on screen.

Never stop sketching. Pencil sketches of clawed hands for the spooky monster season.

My pencil sketches of eight hands with claws in different poses.
